"Modern Family" star Sofia Vergara revealed on Sunday that she felt her niece's hair was getting too unruly and, without being able to seek professional intervention, took the matter into her own hands.

"Cuarentena times," joked Vergara against a slideshow of her taking a pair of scissors to niece Claudia Vergara's long blonde hair.

Turns out, the 47-year-old actress was not a fan of the split ends, as indicated in the "before" picture.

A behind-the-scenes video of the impromptu haircut in her Instagram Stories shows Vergara kneeling to make sure she gives her niece a nice and even trim.

The Vergaras aren't the only celebrities to have experimented with their hair during quarantine. Artists such as Pink and Blake Shelton have also opted to give themselves a makeover -- albeit more radical than Claudia's.
