"You can never have a bad hair day when you are with Chris, both inside and out!" --DREW BARRYMORE


A candid and empowering guide to reinventing yourself from the inside out -- from world-renowned celebrity hairstylist, advice expert, and TikTok sensation Chris Appleton.

We all know that feeling: when you're stuck in self-doubt, boxed in by the person you've been in the past, crippled by fear that you'll never break free from the lies and insecurities holding you back. But what if you had the chance to reinvent yourself from the ground up?

In this book, you'll learn:

  • The secret connection between style and self-worth
  • How to silence your inner critic
  • The real reason confidence isn't about luck or looks
  • How to detox from relationships that drain you
  • The formula to becoming unapologetically YOU


World-renowned celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton gives us the hard-earned advice to do just this. After years of working with the most badass women on the planet, he's seen firsthand how transformation is possible at any stage of life, even when society tells you that you're "too old," when it feels like the whole world is closing in on you, or when the person you thought you'd spend your life with is now your ex. You don't have to feel limited by your roots. The comeback you want can be yours.

With tips and stories from Chris's life and anonymous clients, this remarkable self-help book is your invitation to take a seat in Chris's chair and experience the inside-out transformation that you didn't know you needed.
