Alma and her team are absolutely amazing! They are my go-to for any hair and makeup glam I need done and I’m constantly referring them to my friends and family too. Not only do they do amazing work and leave me feeling like a million bucks, but they make it easy by coming to your home, are always on time and have great communication.

Finding someone that truly has attention to detail for hair has been very hard, until I found Alma! I don’t trust many on my hair but her team is one of them! She always does such a great job recreating the looks I am going for, she is so talented and sweet too! Definitely one of my favorite glam vendors!
Friends with Bethany Foundation
Kissed by AML has been one of the most professional and caring companies I have ever worked with. As a non-profit foundation, we work with young women who are fresh out of trauma facing limb loss (often multiple limbs lost); many with scarring all over from their horrific accidents. Coming to our rehab retreats, they struggle with insecurity. We work hard in helping them not only find healing, but also to walk away assured they are beautiful, and have a story they can share to impact the world. Over the past eight years, Alma and her team are able to come in and glam up our girls with hair and makeup. It has become a key component of these retreats because the girls walk away feeling so beautiful, unashamed to admire themselves in the mirror again. AML thoughtfully talks to the girls while glamming them up, hearing their stories and building friendships with them. The photoshoot with the girls right after their makeovers show so much assurance and bright smiles because they feel beautiful and whole. Alma and her team are incredibly talented. We love this company and are so blessed to work with them.

I have been using Alma Mae and her team to do my hair and makeup for over 5 years. Alma Mae and her team are always on time, professional and accommodating. I have been able to try different hair looks for different events at my home, which is very convenient. Alma Mae’s blowouts last for days and make you look polished whether you are staying home or going out.
Angie Frazier
Alma and her team are the best of the best! Anytime I have a special event, Alma is the first call I make for hair & makeup. I’ve been seeing Alma for over 10 years now, and throughout the years she has continued to help me feel my best and always feeling like a million bucks! And with life being so crazy busy all the time, having hair and makeup done in the comfort of my home without having to run out to a salon is incredibly convenient. Alma and her team are beyond talented, and so sweet and easygoing. I always recommend AML & Co to all of my friends!
Anna Lovac
Alma, thank you and your team so much for always making me look and feel my absolute best behind the camera whenever it is time for my companies brand shoots. Although I originally started booking you for professional needs, I realized booking you anytime I want to feel like a 10 is truly the best self care. You are the absolute sweetest and most thoughtful person with an unbelievable talent for hair!
Ashley Stafford
I have been so fortunate to know Alma for almost 8 years. She and her team have come to my rescue more times than I can count. Whether it be photos, an event or a night out I always feel better about myself knowing that they are helping with my glam. She is an incredibly talented, kind person and I am forever grateful for the support and confidence she has given me throughout the years. I can’t say enough about my experiences with the team, Alma will forever be my go to for styling.

My daughter & I have been customers of Alma Mae’s for over 9 years. Without a doubt, she is one of the best and most dedicated stylists in town. The whole team, especially Monique, Souad and Taylor, are amazing! We attend many events and always feel confident with their glam services! They are easy to communicate with and have very sweet & sunny dispositions! Alma is hyper organized with her scheduling & very prompt. She is able to put together 30-40 appointments in a day. This is optimal when large wedding parties need group services. I, always and happily, recommend them to anyone seeking the best quality glam services.
Eileen Williams
Alma Lott is simply the best! We have had Alma helping us with hair and make up services for 10 years and feel like she is a part of our family. I have two blow-dry standing appointments with her weekly. She has also done our glam for our children’s weddings and photo shoots for our business. Alma has even set us up in other states with glam multiple times for our conferences; helping with over 40 women’s hair and makeup services by her and her team. I have referred her to numerous friends and family and everyone feels the same love for her as we do. There is no one quite like her for helping me achieve the perfect look. I always feel so good after I have been with her. We don’t know what we would do without her.
Elan Kudla
Could not be happier with Alma and her team! They are so talented, professional, always on time, kind, and personable. I have tried lots of different looks from up dos, to casual beachy waves, to sleek and sexy looks I’ve loved them all! I give Alma and her team my highest recommendation.
Elise Walcott
Alma and her team are incredible women and talented artists. She is my go to professional when I need hair & make-up. As a photographer, I confidently refer my clients to AML & CO knowing that they are in great hands and well taken care of. Aside from loving the results from her services, Alma is a wonderful person and I enjoy my time with her and everyone on her team!
Gayl Szmuilowicz
Alma is not only a talented hair stylist, but she’s an amazing person! When I moved back to San Diego from LA four years ago I was worried about finding a good glam team and I am beyond lucky that I found Alma. She and her team are talented, organized, and a lot of fun. She has done my hair for fun nights out, wedding events, my pregnancy photo shoot and most recently my newborn shoot. She has been with me through the most important events in my life and has made me look and feel my best. Alma has truly become a friend and I cannot recommend her enough!
Gina Seau
I have been working with Alma for over nine years, and I couldn’t be more grateful! She is so conscientious about the care and maintenance of my hair, is consistently on time, communicative and makes my hair look great every week!! I’ve also used many of her make up artists for special events and I’ve always been happy with the glam looks! I’m so proud of her work ethic and drive to keep growing her company!!

Alma has been doing my weekly blowouts for over a year and I have nothing but great things to say about her and her work. My hair always looks great and lasts all week. Alma is so knowledgeable about all things hair and hair health, so professional, and such a nice person- it’s always a joy to welcome her into my home.
Katie Clapp
I was fortunate to have Alma Mae come into my life about 12 years ago. What an absolute treasure she is. My first big hair appointment was for my 50th birthday party 10 years ago at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar. Alma went above and beyond to make me feel beautiful for the big day. Ever since that time, she has been coming to my home twice a week for the best blowouts ever! Alma not only does great work, but she also has a great team and will always work something out for me when I have an important event. I can’t live without her! Plus she has the kindest soul and purest heart of anyone I have ever known! I am so thankful we are now lifelong friends!

Best Hair Days with Kissed by AML! I was lucky enough to get introduced to Alma 5+ years ago and it changed my hair for the GOOD! Whenever she styled my hair – people always complemented me or asked where/who? When I had speaking engagements and presentations – this was one factor that was never a concern. The “right” hair style not only eliminates a concern from an important event, but adds an extra layer of confidence. And… for special events and GALAs, I have used their make-up specialists. Lauren recently did my daughter and my make-up, and it was the most natural beautiful palette – the icing on an already great cake!!
Kellie Berry
I’ve been using Alma and her team since before I had hair, All jokes aside, I found Alma through a friend who always looked like a million bucks and I had to know her secret. From the second I met her, I knew I wanted to be her friend forever. She is so sweet and so kind and listens to exactly what you want. Her makeup people also are fantastic. So if you’re looking like feeling like a movie star whether it’s for Easter brunch, a fancy event, or you just don’t feel like doing your hair for a week. Alma is your gal. One of the best people and the BEST blowout ever.

I can’t believe it’s been 9 years since I started seeing you for your magical hair touch. To think at the time I was so afraid of layers that I now LOVE and make such a difference in my hairstyle. Who would have thought with a standing weekly appointment with you and all the drying and heat styling my hair would still be so healthy and in even better condition. So grateful I was introduced to you, you truly are magical with hair. I live for all the product recommendations you give and my hair does too. You are a gem and Id be lost without you.
Melissa Knowles
I’ve been with Alma through so many life events; my wedding, bridal shower, the birth of my baby girl, and the list goes on. She not only transforms my hair, but she makes me feel, and look, like the best version of myself- and to me that’s priceless. When she, or her team, enters my home- there’s calm and positive energy that takes over. I see Kissed By AML at least once a week, and I always look forward to it. It’s a treat and something I couldn’t live without.

Alma is simply the best. And even if I don’t live in Rancho Santa Fe, San Diego anymore, I do visit Rancho Valencia regularly. I call and make arrangements with Alma to do my hair at the resort in my villa. Rancho Valencia is a 5-star hotel and I am thankful for their recommendation of her company’s services. She is well respected in the area as well she should be. She is extremely professional, timely, interesting, and immensely talented at what she does. I know she has a big team but she is clearly my favorite and I enjoy seeing her. Alma is very ambitious, smart, and hard working. I look forward to seeing her continue to grow and become as successful as she deserves to be.
Priscilla Wood Balikian
Alma Mae and her team have been my go-to for hair, makeup, and beauty for years. They are hands down as GOOD AS IT GETS. I have referred her team to all of my friends and family for beauty and glam needs from weddings, events, photo shoots, and nights out, and literally, everyone has been grateful for the referral. Alma Mae and Mo are my go-to for hair and makeup and they truly never disappoint. I cannot speak more highly of her professionalism, expertise, and all-around genuine kind nature. She is the absolute best and booking with her is the right choice.
Rose Starck
Alma and her team are the absolute best around. Anytime I know I have an event coming up she is the first person I call. My friends and I call her the “Hair Goddess”.. I have used a handful of her girls for glam and they have all done an amazing job every time. I would highly recommended Alma and her team anytime you feel like looking extra special or just don’t feel like doing it yourself!
Sarah Gedulin
Alma was referred to me through a mutual acquaintance. She runs her business with consistency and professionalism and makes booking a confident process. She also follows up with me afterward to ensure I was pleased with the results. She and her team arrive on time and ready to get to work, delivering elegant hair and makeup for a variety of events. From date-nights to galas, they can do it all. Alma’s team always makes me feel like the best version of myself. They can create any look that fulfills your needs and complements your style/outfit with their impeccable attention to detail. Alma uses only high-end hair products and cosmetics that last all day or night. I’m happy to write this review because I absolutely love Alma and her team and believe I’m lucky to have found them! It’s an added bonus that Alma always brings a positive and happy energy with her, making the hair/makeup session fly by with easy conversation and a stress-free atmosphere.
Shannon Weller
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Alma and her amazing team for the past five years. We met through a friend’s referral for a glam session. I was having some family photos taken and was desperately seeking someone who “got” my style. In only one session with Alma I was hooked, and she has been my glam girl ever since. She’s been there for countless family photos, date nights, events, work photoshoots, and even my own brand release. Each member of her team is great at listening to my wants and needs while patiently going through all my inspiration photos. Alma is one of the most genuine people I know. She is thoughtful and listens to get it right for you. She goes above and beyond for her clients. I am so grateful to have found her and her amazing team. You need this woman in your life today!
Sheri Matthews Kimmel
It’s almost impossible to write a testimonial to someone who was born to do what they do; and quite possibly may be the best to ever style hair. I don’t know that I have words to describe how beautiful, confident and my best I feel when I am styled by AML. I feel fortunate to have been the lucky recipient of her talents, for almost 10 years. Including events such as milestone birthdays, rehearsal dinners, and my wedding day five years ago. Whether she is working with a recognized household name, celebrity, or just a fortunate long time client like myself, she is extremely professional and respectful.

I absolutely cannot say enough wonderful things about Kissed by AML! They are an absolute DREAM to work with and always make sure I look like a total knockout. I have been a weekly client working with alma and her team for 6 years and there are no words to describe how amazing they are. they absolutely nail every glam for every occasion every time! I am so blessed to have this special glam squad on my side making sure I am the most looked at woman everywhere I go. Aside from their amazing talent, Alma did my blowouts after my surgery when I could barely wash my hair. She was so kind and gentle and brought a little sparkle to a very tough time for me. Her kind heart, giving nature and special talent make her and her team stand out from everyone else. They are the best in the business – not just San Diego but any city I have been to. Hands down!!! Do yourself a favor… book an appointment! You’re welcome!
Vanessa Sottile
Alma and her girls have been my go-to for hair and makeup glam since 2019. Everyone I’ve worked with has been so sweet and they are all so talented! Alma is always very attentive and accommodating when scheduling. Kissed by AML will always be my #1 glam team for any event or photoshoot!
Kelly Senyei
Alma and her team of talented hair stylists and makeup artists are my go-to glam squad for any and every occasion! Whether I’m filming for work or having family photos taken, I know I can trust Alma to create a flawless look that makes me feel beautiful, confident and like an elevated version of myself. No matter what type of glam is my goal, I know Alma can always deliver perfection!
Nina Chaya
I have been a client and friend of Alma since we first crossed paths in 2013. She quickly proved to be one of the most talented and genuine hair stylist I’ve ever met. Her attention to detail is unparalleled while her natural ability to lift her clients spirits up makes one feel beautiful both inside and out once leaving her chair. She puts her clients’ satisfaction above all else and has an amazing team of stylists and make-up artists who help make AML and Co so fabulous. I highly recommend booking her for your glam needs!!
