She is getting ready for her Dancing with The Stars debut and she’s already spent $35,000 on her makeover and several plastic procedures to look perfect on camera.

“Kate thinks Dancing With the Stars will put her on Hollywood’s A-list,” claims an insider. “She feels she needs to look her best, so she gave herself a major makeover. She went from hating the way she looked to loving her new appearance.”

She is said to have had Botox injections, Restylane fillers, laser resurfacing, veneers, hair extensions and highlights, eyelash extensions and eyebrow shaping. And that doesn’t include the cost of her regular spray tans and professional makeup applications.

The resume, if you aren’t ready to spend fifty-odd bucks, no one will book you in the Hollywood celebs list! Such a ridiculous thing! Who cares?

Gibson tells People:

“She came in because her own hair has grown, so we changed the length. Now we thought shoulder length would be ideal–we wanted it to be straight, and sexy and moving.”

And the reality star couldn’t have been more pleased with the results:

“She’s ecstatic about the way the extensions look. We took off about four inches, close to that. That’s one great thing about extensions–she can go back to having it long again, whenever she wants. She can keep changing.”

While other stylists gave her a taste of some of NYC’s best nightlife to show off the new look, Gibson says about her evening out:

“It was long overdue that she got to go out and have some fun.”

It’s no so bad, isn’t it?

But the stylist, Ted Robinson, revealed in an interview this week that the combined price Kate paid for the salon services she received was about $7.000.

He commented:

“My haircuts are $950,” Ted revealed. “The color would have been about $500, and the extensions, which were great length extensions, would probably cost about $5000.”

Probably the price included 20 hours that Ted spent persuading her on changing her trademark bangs and calming her down.

“We were together for about 20 hours and I would say 15 of those hours were working on Kate trying to convince her to cut her bangs,” Ted joked. “I felt like she was hiding behind that front piece.”

Despite the hesitation, he said the mother of eight “was really open to the entire process.” Ted summed up his vision for the TLC star:

“I wanted to make sure I took her from being really ordinary to really extraordinary!”

Ted even has a nickname for Kate’s old hairstyle:

“The little short bits in the back, we called them her ‘attitude’ and getting rid of those took a long time!”

Ted said Kate loved her new do, which she’ll have to have done every three or four months.

He added:

“She was blown away, she had no idea what the length of hair and changing the color and bangs would do for her!”
