Beauty Ann Hair Salon

I last went to Ann nearly 5 years ago and I’m punching myself for not being as loyal to her as I should have been. After all these years, her price for cutting long hair (shoulder blade length) is still $ 20. I love talking to her about Chinese astrology. She’s super fast and doesn’t try to sell you into spending more. I’m only going to her from now on. Cash only and she has only 2 reserved parking spots in a business area.

Ann is wonderful! I came in with a picture of the haircut I wanted and she made sure to ask lots of questions about style to make sure she could match up to what I wanted. FAST as can be because she knows exactly what she’s doing and my haircut was BETTER than what I expected (I was nervous to try a new barber since I just moved to San Diego). Didn’t have to wait at all because I called the day before to set up a time to come in, and it cost $ 20 in the end.
Highly recommended for asians (she’s Chinese) and will DEFINITELY be using her from now on! THANK YOU ANN!!!

I have come here to dye and cut my hair for many years. The owner, Ann is very efficient, thorough and nice hair dresser. I can always call ahead and get in, do not have to wait for too long, and I really like it! Also, whatever you want to do with your hair, Ann will listen to you and follow your preference. I am sure to continue to have hair done for years to come!

Very friendly and fast! Her haircuts are 15 dollars and they come out great! The wait is usually not long and if you call her in advance Ann will save you a parking spot since after kula sushi opened, the parking lot became nuts

She lives up to the expectation of the Unilocal reviews. Yes, she is very quick and knows what she is doing, and the price is super affordable. She fixed my hair that’s messed up by another salon in no time! Very friendly too. Highly recommended!

For men’s hair cut including a wash afterward is $ 15. it is done in about 10min. I don’t like seating there long time for a hair cut. This is perfect for me.

I’ve recommended Ann to two of my friends who’ve gone to her for haircuts and have been extremely happy with the result.
I like Ann because I hate spending time at the salon. I’m usually running errands and I don’t want to spend over an hour at the salon getting an additional blowout and hair products pitched to me.
Ann is very very very fast. And if you want your hair washed, make sure to tell her because otherwise she’ll opt out of the wash and charge you less for your haircut. I don’t like paying for the hair wash so I always come with clean hair.
Best thing is that I can just show Ann a picture and she’ll cut my hair exactly like the picture. She doesn’t «interpret» your haircut. She gives you exactly what you want.

When I came here, it was completely empty. I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or bad thing. My sister and I were both in need for a trim and there was only one stylist, who later on I found out was the owner. Her name was Annie, and she was very sweet and listened to all my hair needs. When we walked out, we were pretty satisfied with our hair and the pricing was very reasonable.

I am very much satisfied with Ann’s haircut. She has cut my hair for over 10 years. I did have long hair and I like they way she cut my hair. Now I have short hair and people tell me I look 10 years younger. I am a white guy if it matters. I usually just walk in but you can make an appointment.

I needed to find a hair place in San Diego so I definitely had to look for someone who can really cut my thick hair!
After looking through Unilocal to find a hair place, I found this hair salon with pretty good ratings and reviews.
Unfortunately for me, the salon did not deserve the high ratings and reviews that it got.
As Ann (hair stylist) seated me into the chair, I told her that I wanted both sides and the back to be cut but not too much on the top. She immediately understood as this is a very simple haircut.
She surprised me by using the electric shaver without wetting my hair or anything. This made me feel uncomfortable as I know that my hair is pretty thick and tough and if it isn’t wet, it won’t be cut well.
Unfortunately, my intuition was correct. A day after I got my haircut, after I took a shower and dried my hair, I saw how my hair on both sides are very unbalanced, parts of the back side of my hair were cut too short so you could barely see a little bit of my scalp.
Ann was a very nice lady and she could make great conversations with you, but her skills as a hair stylist is none other than a beginner’s level. I would not recommend this hair salon to anyone.

Very fast accurate cut, with a good intuition of where layers should fall. Knows how to handle Asian hair. I will come visit this friendly fast salon again!

Beauty Ann Hair Salon is located to the right of the Fruit Shop. I expected a Korean haircutter since there was Korean signage outside. But I have been told by Ann (the owner?/ Haircutter) was Chinese, from Hong Kong. She worked for a Korean lady for 20 years. Ann was a friendly middle-​aged lady who made some conversation.
When I entered the salon on a weekend afternoon, she was the only person there with no music playing. It gave me that creepy vibe, I should have left while she had her back turned to me sweeping.
I asked if she could cut it 1 to 2 inches and showed her with my hands how much I wanted cut off. She asked 3 inches? I said «Uh, sure.» If she considered what I held in my hand was 3 inches worth of hair. I didn’t argue it.
What surprised me was that she didn’t wash my hair prior to the haircut, otherwise I would’ve washed it before I came here. She took off 3 – 4 inches. She asked me if it was short enough/​if I liked the length. Well, it was kind of too late to say no, it’s too short. So I just gritted my teeth and said yes.
It was the shortest and worst haircut that I’ve received. She put layers in my hair (without asking me if I wanted it) and thinned it in about 10 minutes tops– for my long, thick Asian hair. She seemed like didn’t care for details since it was a really rushed job without doing much. And it shows.
And the spray that she used on my hair smelled like old lady perfume. Went home and washed it out good.
The cut was $ 20. I guess you get what you pay for.
I give her a star for her nice personality, but she definitely did not seem like she had 20 years of haircutting experience.

Nice lady to get a quick and good hair cut! she’s been doing it for 20+ yrs. :)

Good quick and cheap cuts from someone who’s been handling Asian hair for a long time. Wash, cut, and dry for $ 20 (girls) and $ 15 (guys). Great place if you’re looking for standard cuts/​trims and thinning jobs. I gave Ann the whole rundown of my recent hair history and she knew exactly what to do… unlike other places, she’ll cut exactly one inch if you ask for one inch. Don’t be afraid to over-​specify what you want, and to speak up if the result isn’t what you wanted!
Cash only.

She was super nice and did exactly what I asked for! I also loved the fact that she did it pretty fast too.

Cash only. I’m a girl who doesn’t typically carry cash but to pay a lower price, I can! My experience was similar to C D. below, dry cut for only $ 20! I came eagerly with her review mostly in mind. I was still slightly anxious though BECAUSE my hair is the exact opposite of what she described. Mine is long, fine/​thin, and had TONS of split ends. I actually had been cutting my own hair for awhile because I was traumatized from past pressuring hair stylists claiming «you only want one inch cut off? but that is only this much!» or to layer my hair.
My hair grows extremely slow and would be unable to be nicely braided if it was layered. I trembled at the horror stories of girls asking for 3 inch trims at other salons but instead getting 9 inches or more chopped off. After over three years of not going to another hair stylist, I came here and emerged very pleased. The stylist was a very nice and pretty Asian lady, too. She recommended to get my hair trimmed every 2 months but I think I will come back between then to 6 months. I got a 2 inch trim this time because the ends were pretty bad after 3 years of me just trimming my bangs but the stylist said she can do a ½ inch trim next time. She also didn’t even out my hair like I asked for but it came out looking so much better, a little shorter in the back and with both sides at the front, each side angles down if you know what I mean and it trimmed my split ends that were higher up. Very cute imo ^^.
There was also a man before me and one after me. The stylist got the cuts done in 5 – 10 minutes so the wait was fine. I went on a Thursday around noon.

I’ve designated Ann as my San Diego hair stylist, since she cuts my hair consistently to my liking each time. I always do walk-​ins and I’ve never had to wait more than 5 minutes. She is very experienced with Asian hair and does a quick job without cutting any corners. Price is also very reasonable (Cash only).
