It was a blustery January day on the plaza, but that didn't stop TODAY fans from coming out for a chance to get an Ambush Makeover.

Celebrity hairstylist Louis Licari and TODAY Style Squad member Jill Martin had a tough choice, but they found two women who were in need of some TLC to kick off 2017.

First up was Emma Frazier of Maine. The 21-year-old college senior, who is studying early elementary education and special education, is on a three-week, seven-city trip with her friends. A stop in New York City for Frazier meant she will be riding off to her next destination with a whole new look.

"Holy! That's awesome!" said Frazier upon her reveal.

Licari transformed Frazier's hair color from blond to a gorgeous, soft red, which brightens up her skin. Arsen Gurgov gave her an easy-to-maintain haircut, which is perfect for a busy college student.

A cool leather jacket and trendy lace-up top styled by Martin completed her glam new look.

The makeover wasn't complete without a visit from Muppets Grover and Abby Cadabby.

"I'm just blown away!" exclaimed Abby Cadabby about Frazier.

Next was Jacquelyn Lembas of Ohio. The 25-year-old is in New York City celebrating her honeymoon. She tied the knot just five days ago, on New Year's Eve, with her high school sweetheart. This newlywed, who has a 2-year-old son with her husband, was certainly ready for some post-wedding pampering!
