Ana Tavera

Ana is amazing! After a brief conversation about the haircut you have been dreaming about… Ana knows EXACTLY what to do! She will cut & color your hair Fit For A King or Queen! Ana is up on all of the latest trends & styles and knows the best hairstyle that will suit you best. You are in Great hands with Ana!

Love, love, love Ana! I started going to Ana almost 13 years ago! Since then, I’ve had kids and I take them to her too. It’s a drive for us as we don’t live close by, but I don’t mind at all because there is nobody else I would trust with our hair. She is an absolute sweetheart and always listens to what you want. She knows my personality and always suggests styles that are perfect for me. She truly takes her time and provides a quality cut each and every time! You won’t be disappointed!

Ana has been cutting my hair for several years and I wouldn’t think about going anywhere else!!! She consistently gives a great cut and never disappoints. It’s also a good time just chatting during the cut. You will love her, too.

Every time I’m home in San Diego, I always go to see Ana. Not only is she such a sweetheart but she is truly a brilliant talent. My hair is thick and curly and I’ve found that many people aren’t sure how to handle it; Ana on the other hand always knows just how to cut and style it perfectly. Most recently when I went in, I trusted her to cut it however she though was best and I was absolutely in love with the result. She was also so nice to give me some hair product samples to take home free of charge! She definitely knows what she’s doing and I highly recommend her.

Ana does an amazing job with cut and color. She is very detail oriented and makes sure hair looks healthy and natural. She listens to individual needs and is very professional.

I moved to La Jolla from Los Angeles, and went to a lot of problems in order to find a good hairstylist. I’m kind of picky about my hair-​cuts and want to be done in the way that I want. Thankfully, I found this place, and honestly couldn’t be any more satisfied with my experience. Ana is so professional and always listens to me carefully. I just explained what I needed and she got it exactly like what I wanted. The great thing is that the second time I went to her, she exactly knew what to do. I recommended her to some of my friends and they all were happy and satisfied with their experience.

I love Ana Tavera’s work! After going to Beverly Hills for hair color and cuts, I never thought I would find an expert colorist I would trust here in San Diego, but Ana proved me wrong! I love her work — so incredibly natural and always amazing attitude and service. She is an expert colorist with over 20 years of experience and it shows! Thank you so much Ana!!!

Hands down the best hair stylist in town! She is very detailed, she takes her time to make sure you are satisfied, she is attentive to your needs, she knows hair, she is just A M A Z I N G.

I highly recommended Ana for multiple reasons. 1) she is a precision hair cutter. She takes her time and perfects your hair by going section by section. 2) she builds a personal and professional relationship with her clients. Every person I’ve seen is delighted to see Ana and thrilled to make their follow up appointments. 3) she is a master hair colorist. Why? She use to TEACH hair color at several high end schools and is even an educator for multiple high end color lines. I know all of this because I have the luxury of working with Ana In the same salon. I trust her with my clients hair and with my own hair of course. (she educated me on color theory and hair cutting, of course I trust her!) she is worth every penny because she’s simply a perfectionist. I’ve learned a lot from her work ethic and passion for precision. she has been in this industry for a mind blowing 20+ years. (Although she still looks amazing) I find her to be more skilled than myself, more than any other hair artist I’ve had the pleasure of being around. Get on her books now before it’s too late, if you want a true quality over quantity experience & hairstylist. — Steven Sachs

Truly, a miracle worker!
I recently got full highlights and then a bleach wash (why! WHY!) at another salon in UTC. After multiple visits they told me they had no idea how to fix the brassy mess they made. I RAN to Empire Beauty Supply in an attempt to fix it myself… long story short after 1 toning attempt I came back and asked for some back up.
The Beauty Supply staff asked Ana, who has an independent station towards the rear, to give me some help. In order to keep the integrity of my hair and lift the orange, she could only highlight the hair not previously highlighted– not an easy feat!
My hair ended up looking lovely! I am still fighting the yellow with purple shampoos etc., but my hair is so much better! I highly recommend Ana, and I look forward to going back.
