About Makeovers That Matter

Makeovers That Matter was founded in 2012 by Michael John (MJ) Derricott. The focus of this organization is to help female veterans, as well as wives and caretakers of military personnel, obtain employment.

MTM not only offers women free hair, makeup, and wardrobe counseling services to help them look interview ready, but also provides them access to free counseling with an employment specialist who helps them write powerful resumes, teaches them how to successfully interview for potential positions, and provides them with long-term career opportunities. MTM services to women also include empowerment counseling to help instill the confidence they need to get back on their feet and thrive. Makeovers That Matter believes that makeovers work from the inside out.
