For most people, a morning run helps you stay thin, but for one woman, it meant much more: a head-to-toe makeover live on national television.
The athletic Katherine Hadley, visiting New York City from Utah, ran by the plaza during her morning workout, which was when our Ambush Makeover team spotted her.
"This is very unexpected," she told Jill Martin before the makeover. Katherine joked, "you guys thought I needed some help!"
Her sister and parents joined her in studio and were pleasantly surprised to see Katherine's chic makeover.
"I look different!" She said while running her fingers through the new layered do.
"She looks so beautiful," her mom told Kathie Lee and Hoda!
Our next woman was Jere Johnson from San Antonio. She said that she keeps her beauty routine simple.
"If I am really dressing up, I'll put some blush and lipstick on." Jere said before the show.
After a 3-hour glam session, she walked out looking hot!
"Oh my goodness, Jere, look at you!" Her friend Char exclaimed.
Jere was delighted and hardly recognized herself.
"I love it!" she said after getting the first peek at her glamorous makeover.
