For this judged category we asked you to show the incredible power of a creative makeover for a client – whether cut or colour, dramatic or more subtle – show us the before and afters that you are most proud of.
We had a substantial number of excellent entries for this category and all of them were fantastic!
Below is the fabulous work of the fourteen finalists chosen by our judges for the Best Makeover Section in alphabetical order.
