Our anchors were feeling the chill this morning on the plaza and by looking at the forecast, it seems like the cooler weather is here to stay.
Also here to stay is our weekly Ambush Makeover where TODAY style expert Jill Martin and celebrity hairstylist Louis Licari select two special guests from the plaza for a complete style transformation.
This morning, Katie from Idaho and Tammy from Tennessee stepped into the studio to experience the thrill of the makeover, accompanied by eager family and friends.
Take a look at Martin's stylish finds that gave these deserving ladies a brand new look.

Katie Schuler
This mom of two traveled from Knoxville, Tennessee, to show her kids the excitement of the big city. Her husband, Travis, was her high school sweetheart and she loves nature, hiking and the outdoors.
She adores motherhood but rarely spends time focusing on herself due to games, practices and trying to help her family in any way possible.
When Schuler walked through the doors of the hair and makeup room, she wanted to change up her curly hair that she's been growing out for years. Martin and Licari were thrilled to give her an entirely new look!
