Welcome, I’m Ana Salinas

I’m so glad you’re here. As your stylist, my goal is to give you more than just beautiful hair on the day of your appointment — I want you to feel confident, polished, and set up for success long after you leave my chair.

When you book your first appointment online, you’ll receive a welcome email with all the important details, including directions, parking, and what to expect. (I know how valuable that information is in Los Angeles!) From the moment you arrive, we’ll take time for a thorough consultation where we’ll talk about your goals, your lifestyle, and your long-term vision for your hair. Together, we’ll create a plan that keeps your color fresh, your extensions healthy, and your cut perfectly tailored to you.

My approach is different than most salons. Instead of a one-time transformation that fades after a few weeks, I focus on creating a look — and a system — that fits your life. I’ll share styling tips and techniques so you can recreate your salon finish at home, and I’ll guide you into a schedule that keeps your hair consistently healthy, glossy, and effortlessly polished.

Beyond the salon, I’m a big believer in balance and creativity. When I’m not behind the chair, you can usually find me cooking a new recipe with my husband, spending time with our pups, or enjoying the sunshine at the beach. I love blending hard work with moments of joy, and I bring that same energy into every appointment: focused, detail-oriented, but always warm and approachable.

I can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and help you create a look that feels both elevated and true to you. Welcome to my chair — I look forward to making your hair goals a reality.

Things You Should Know as a New Client

Please arrive 15 minutes early so you have time to park, grab a coffee from Starbucks or Trader Joe’s downstairs, find Salon Republic, or use the restroom.

• Every first visit begins with a personal consultation to discuss your goals and create a long-term hair plan.

• For color or highlights, I’ll create a custom formula just for you. It’s saved in my database for consistency and seamless results at future visits.

• Every cut is tailored to your face shape, lifestyle, and overall goals.

• I’ll share styling tips & tricks during your appointment — and extended styling lessons (like curling techniques) are always available upon request.

• I include Wi-Fi and phone charging during your service. If you’d like a refreshment, Starbucks and Trader Joe’s are conveniently located downstairs so you can bring your drink up with you.

• Before you leave, I’ll recommend personalized at-home care to maintain your results and we’ll set up your next appointment.

• For your convenience, I accept credit cards and cash.

I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU!

Q: I just want a haircut and blow-dry. What do I book?
A: Select Haircut. This includes time for a wash, haircut, and blow-dry styling.

Q: I need my grey roots touched up. Do I add a haircut too?
A: Book Touch-Up for your base color. If you’d also like a haircut, simply add the Haircut Add-On.

Q: I want highlights plus a cut.
A: Book Highlights, then add the Haircut Add-On. If you only want highlights (no cut), just book Highlights by itself.

Q: What if I want balayage or babylights with a cut?
A: Book Balayage/Babylights. Add the Haircut Add-On if you’d like a cut and style included.

Q: I’m a brand new client — what should I book first?
A: Start with New Client Consultation or Balayage/Babylights (New Client) if you’re booking color. This gives us extra time to consult and create a plan for your hair.

Q: What if I’m not sure what service I need?
A: Book a Consultation Only. This allows us to meet, talk through your options, and create a custom plan before your first big service.

Q: Do I need to book a blow-dry separately?
A: No — all haircuts and color services include a blow-dry unless otherwise noted.

Q: How do I book extensions?
A: All extension services require a consultation first. Please book a consultation before scheduling your install or move-up appointment.

• Consultations First: All extension services require a consultation before booking an install or move-up.

• Deposits: Some services may require a deposit to secure your appointment. Deposits are non-refundable but are applied toward your service total.

• Cancellations: Please provide at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. This allows me to offer the spot to another client.

• No-Shows: Missed appointments without notice will result in a non-refundable fee and may require prepayment for future bookings.

• Late Arrivals: If you’re more than 15 minutes late, we may need to adjust or reschedule your service to respect the next client’s time.

• Payments: I accept credit cards and cash for your convenience.
