Throughout our lives, we create meaningful relationships. Sometimes they are short-lived, but other times they are accompanied by an unbreakable bond that lasts for years.
That’s the case with best friends Marcy and Anastasia — the first Ambush Makeover guests to be featured during the first live audience show with Hoda & Jenna & Friends.

They didn’t expect to get a beauty and style transformation today but were thrilled for a morning of pampering with style expert Jill Martin, celebrity hairstylist Louis Licari and Glamsquad artistic director and makeup artist Kelli Bartlett.
See the looks that had them glowing from head to toe!

Though hesitant about being a guest on the show, Marcy felt comfortable knowing her best friend would be by her side for her transformational Ambush Makeover.
