She came into her own at Garfinkel’s Salon in Washington, D.C. before heading what turned out to be a caravan of top stylists to the less than funky wilds of Florida.

Her Lemon avenue salon is in a brand new location, nestled in the heart of historically acclaimed downtown Sarasota. Her salon boasts an uncompromising team of stylists that specialize in all hair, skin, nails, and bodies. Also within Ana Molinari's salon is an eclectic boutique; a must stop shop offering the most exclusive looks.

Including work on reality shows such as Breaking Amish and Siesta Key. You can also see her work in the film Great Expectations, the local ABC news anchors, and the Sarasota Film Festival. She has studied at Toni & Guy Advanced Cutting, Jingles Advanced Cutting, and L’Oreal Advanced Color School.
She was awarded the Gold Scissor Award and the L’Oreal Color Award. In Florida, she is actively involved in the community where she sponsors charities and donates her time to those with major illnesses. Ever-evolving, Ana Molinari still continues to direct the world of beauty even after thirty years in the business.
On Palm Avenue also sits Sarasota’s premier modeling and talent agency, Molinari Models and Talent. With a world-renowned photographer, a team of internationally trained makeup artists, and a manager who has been in the industry for decades, Molinari Models and Talent is the most elite agency in Sarasota and its surrounding communities. Providing, organizing, and instructing talent for nearly every major event in Sarasota, Ana Molinari and her staff are the ones to turn to for the best talent.
Ana’s long-time love for all things vintage combined with her artistry, have also led her to design a line of custom hats. Styles range from sophisticated to swanky, preppy to chic, vintage glamour to nautical beachside. Upon request, Ana can create any style hat desired. Her hats have been commissioned for a number of artistic, entertainment, and runway events.
