Imperfect weather situations can't stop TODAY from surprising two fans with an exciting and life-changing Ambush Makeover. Style expert Jill Martin and celebrity hairstylist Louis Licari set out to grab two dedicated TODAY viewers from the crowded plaza for a morning filled with hair, makeup and more.
The transformations that these two received left our jaws on the floor. We couldn't believe the results!
