TODAY’s glam squad took to the plaza Thursday to find two deserving women for beautiful Ambush Makeovers!

Celebrity hairstylist Louis Licari and TODAY Style Squad member Jill Martin found these two ladies, both of whom had such sweet stories!

Robin Paquett

First up was Robin Paquett, 62, from Thompson, Connecticut. Her sister-in-law Martha encouraged her to come out to the plaza this morning, and even helped her decorate signs that would get the Style Squad’s attention!

This makeover is a sweet way to end a tough year for Paquett, who’s been caring for her son who was diagnosed with cancer.

Paquett and her sister-in-law were stunned with her gorgeous transformation, which took her back to her redheaded roots. Licari said she wanted to be “flirty, sexy and younger,” and the team definitely delivered on her wish!

"Oh, God, OK!" she exclaimed after taking a look at her new self.
