Whether it's Extreme Makeover and Queer Eye in the US, or shows like 10 Years Younger in the UK, reality makeover shows are a popular genre of entertainment.

While many viewers can glean tips from these shows for their own personal makeovers, becoming a guest on one of them is hardly something the average viewer can count on.

"If you really have the will to change yourself, you can change right now. Get a hairstyle that suits you and looks sharp and well-groomed, trim your eyebrows, and wear clothes that create a good ambiance. Spend a few hours on your days off seriously working on your appearance. That's all there is to it. Change your routine and force yourself to change. Don't complain if you're in your 20s when 50-year-olds can transform themselves like this."

Now that a different level of change...!

Under Yuki Shibuya's guidance, he got a hairstyle that looks well-groomed and neat and he trimmed his eyebrows, realizing a startling makeover. "If you really have the will to change yourself, you can change right now," Shibuya said.
