Hi, I’m Alma. I’m located at The Nest Salon in Brea, Ca. I’m from the San Gabriel Valley area and currently still reside there.

I help build confidence in embracing your natural texture by customizing looks that fit your needs and style with techniques that meet the low maintenance, lived-in hair look.

I’m passionate about healthy hair so it’s very important that my clients have an understanding of an at-home care routine by the end of our appointment.

If having an effortless approach to obtaining good hair sounds like your thing, fill out the new client form above to get started.

what clients are saying

  • Alma was super friendly and hospitable! She was very precise with her artistry, and she delivered a quality cut and style. Most of all, she unlocked the potential my hair had with the curly cut, and I’m super thankful for my experience!

    -Marisa

  • Alma did a wonderful job! I went to her for a consultation before making an appointment to go over how I wanted to fix my hair. I have curly hair and its not easy finding someone who can cut it. The previous stylist I went to did not cut my curly hair well it was uneven, and I wasn't happy with my color either. Alma put me at ease during the consultation with her recommendations and the plan to help shape my hair without cutting off too much. She did a great job and I left feeling so great about my hair. I already booked my next appointment.

  • Alma is not only a gifted stylist she is a beautiful person inside and out. Her kindness and expertise made my appointment feel comfortable. My hair is long, thick and takes a lot of work. She took the time to style it beautifully. Thanks girl!

  • Alma was warm and kind upon meeting and provided me with great service. She heard me out on what I wanted for my hair and delivered exactly what I was comfortable with. She educated me on issues I’ve been having with my hair and sent me resources after the appointment. I look forward to coming back and going through my curly hair journey with Alma.

    -Esther

  • I am so happy I found Alma. I recently started a curly hair journey. I have thin, wavy hair and have experienced hurtful comments from previous hairstylists who did not understand my hair. Alma is so considerate and really takes her time to walk through with you the best possible choices for your hair. Trusting someone with your hair is so personal and an investment as well. She is 100% worth it.

    -Karen

  • Alma was incredible! She was so attentive to my hair needs and understood the look I wanted to achieve. The curly cut was done so well with my natural hair and I felt very well cared for. This was my first haircut experience where I felt like I was walking out the door with the best version of my natural hair!

    -Corrie

  • I always enjoy my appointments with Alma! She always leaves me feeling so much better about myself and more confident! Thank you!!!

    -Brandy

  • Alma is a master hair artist. Alma’s precision with shears on curly hair is delightful! She has an acute sense of perception about how your hair falls into place naturally and cut/trims accordingly. I scheduled a consultation with her and knew then that she would do an excellent job! If you are looking for a sexy curly cut, I highly recommend visiting Alma!
