Mother's Day is right around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with mother-daughter Ambush Makeovers!
Loretta and Elizabeth Kitley are enjoying some time together before Elizabeth heads off to college in the fall, so we decided to surprise them with glamorous transformations to usher them into this new chapter of their lives.
TODAY contributor Jill Martin and celebrity hairstylist Louis Licari took the duo under their wings for a morning of hair, makeup and shopping in the Ambush Makeover closet.
