If ever there were a model that really benefitted from their makeover, it was definitely Cycle 2's Shandi Sullivan. She started the show as a geeky Walgreen's clerk with mousey brown hair and glasses, and with help from some contact lenses and a new hair color, she was transformed into a real beauty.

Yoanna House

Cycle 2 winner Yoanna House started the show with dark brown hair just past her shoulders. The cropped cut that she got at her makeover really accentuated her gorgeous cheekbones and beautiful eyes.

Noelle Van Herk

Cycle 3

Noelle Van Herk started the show as a young girl with rather bland looking long, brown hair and braces. After removing the braces and giving her a great short cut, a model definitely emerged.

Jade Cole

Cycle 6

The self-proclaimed undiscovered supermodel, Jade Cole was transformed. Her dark afro was trimmed and she was given blonde hair, which totally suited her, and accentuated her great bone structure.

Bianca Golden

Cycle 9

Poor Bianca Golden started the show with purple bangs and long brown hair. After finding out that the condition of her hair wouldn't take the weave that Tyra had planned for her, it was decided that they would have to shave her hair off and give her a blonde medical wig, which she decided she didn't need. The short look really worked for her.

Joanie Dodds

Joanie Dodds, along with cycle 6 winner Dani Evans had not only a makeover on her hair, but had major dental work done to remove her "snaggle tooth," giving her a beautiful smile. Her hair went from a medium brown to a golden blonde, and was cut in a cropped style that really looked great on her.

Nicole Fox

Cycle 13

Nicole Fox was a self-admitted nerd when she started the competition. Her long red hair was made even more full and wavey, and from her very first photo shoot, she showed how fierce she could be in photos.

Fatima Siad

Cycle 10

Fatima Siad from Cycle 10 started out with reddish, curly shoulder-length hair. Tyra decided Fatima needed a long dark weave, which caused Fatima a lot of pain to put in, but in the end gave her an awesome look like Naomi Campbell.

Stacy Ann Fequiere

Cycle 10

Cycle 10's Stacy Ann Fequiere wanted long extensions, like Naomi Campbell. Instead, she got a short funky cut that really worked for her great facial bone structure. Unlike some people that got short hair, Stacy Ann didn't make a huge deal over the look, but said that she was going to work it.

Samantha Potter

Cycle 11

Samantha Potter started the show with long, blonde hair, and her makeover gave her a cropped short do that really did it for her, as she ended up runner-up to cycle winner McKey.
