We love this salon! Cheryl is an amazing stylist and is equally sweet! Absolutely go see Cheryl!! read more

Such a welcoming salon, and such a kind group of people. The vibe here is relaxing and warm, and I loved the sun kissed highlights meticulously placed by my lovely stylist Cheryl Lynn. I was going for a more natural look than I previously had and I truly appreciate that she really listened and provided suggestions before getting to work. I'm very happy with the color, it is just the subtle look I was hoping for, and I thought the prices were very reasonable. I will be back again next time!! read more

A few years ago I decided to let my hair grow out and not really do much with it. I had found Heather here at mane designs via referral from Jan (who also works there) Heather had cut my hair a couple of times throughout my long hair experience. Prior to me letting my hair grow I had tried out several salons over the years (Dean Anthony, Den, JW, and Razorbacks.) There was nothing wrong with the other places I just wasn't super happy with one thing or another. Well after 3+ years I decided it was time for a change and I wanted to donate all my hair. So I went and saw Heather and let me tell you this has been the best haircut of my life! I'm extremely happy with how it turn out. Not only is Heather an amazing stylist but the overall experience is just amazing. She truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy. Plus my haircut was easily a $65+ hair cut with the time and attention and I only paid $35 so so great full! I highly highly recommend Heather but Mane Designs overall is just a great Salon! Jan and Gene are both great and I have many friends who are happy with them all! Ps the pictures don't really do it justice. read more

I went there for a drastic haircut. I decided to go from long hair to very short hair. I gave Jan all my trust in her artistry. I lovvvvve my haircut: chic and has swag! I can't wait to see people's reactions. Thank you Jan. See you read more

Heather is a true artist, and hair doctor! I had been using drug store boxes for many years to keep my hair black. I loved my black hair at one time, but as I started to enter my mature years it seemed to age me. I was scared going in to see Heather as I had already seen two other stylists to try to lighten my hair. WHEN I SAW THE OTHER STYLISTS HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED: The first time literally nothing happened other than drying out my hair, it didn't look like the color had budged at all. The second time I tried it looked a tad bit lighter so I decided to let that stylist try again. We tried several more times, and it only damaged my hair with no real gains. I have a basic understanding of how hair color works, just from all the fails I had experienced over the years playing at home. I knew that if I found the right person it could be done, and I could even keep all of the hair on my head! I called around shopping for the "right" person. I was turned down at several places and was told it was impossible. Most of the salons wanted nothing to do with it. I held out hope, and kept looking until I found Heather. I walked in and told her that I was willing to be patient, and suffer some damage if she was comfortable giving it a try. She didn't blink an eye, and because I understood the depth of the situation she was willing to give it a go. ON THE VERY FIRST ATTEMPT we had big gains, and I knew I had found my girl! Going from black to light is no easy task, and it can be very hard on your hair. I have been with Heather over a year now (sometimes in the first stage seeing her every two weeks), my hair is healthy, shiny, ALL still attached, and the perfect color I was looking for. I am truly thrilled to have found such an amazing artist, it takes true skill to do what she has done with my hair. If you are looking for a new stylist do yourself a favor and call Heather! If you happen to be going from black to light, she can and will get you where you want to be....... BUT you need to be patient, and understand the process. THANK YOU HEATHER, I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Maritza!!! I found you again!!!!! As usual, Martiza was very welcoming and cut my curly mane just right! I highly recommend her to cut and style your hair! I will definitely be back. read more

I'm so excited that Heather Martin is now at Mane! Right around the corner from the gym so I can run in and get a quick "fro fix"! And I mean quick, it's the best - I am an extremely impatient person to the point I'd rather not do anything than waste time getting my hair done. When Heather first blew my hair out straight I couldn't believe how quick it was. I always leave with wet hair from salons because A) the stylist always tries to style my curly hair and 97 times it looks lame. B) I don't have 2 hours to spend at the salon. Get it done and get going. Life is busy! Heather also knows what to do. I do not! She just knows color and makes it look rad! Promise you won't be disappointed. Recently she did the keratin treatment and it worked so well. I love the recommendations she gives and trust her completely with my hair. She also tells me when I need to touch up cause I don't recognize that stuff. I'm not a girlie girl and am low maintenance. Thanks Heather @ Mane for adding some girlie style without the long process! read more

I've been going to Gene since I was about 7 (Im 20 now). He has fixed my hair, and told me when I should go a different direction than what I was planning. But he has never lead me wrong. He is one of the only people I trust cutting my hair. And recently he also did a color correction and I have never gotten so many compliments on my hair. I recommend him to everyone I know. read more

Jan, Jean, and Joseph, Love them all. Jan gives great hair ! She has been cutting/coloring my hair for at least 5 years now and I can not see ever going to anyone else. The boys, Jean(sp) and Joseph are equal to the task. read more

This place is great! I was looking to get a haircut on the spur of the moment and saw this place. I went in and the rest is history. I've gone here many times and I've always got a superb haircut. Diane is my main person but I've also had Jan, the owner. They are all great. Highly recommended. read more

Gene did an awesome job! I will be coming back and will likely let him tackle a more drastic cut and some color. My hair is very, very thick and Gene took the time to really get in there and take some of the weight out of my locks. On top of that he rectified a terrible cut inflicted by a stylist at a different salon. As an added bonus it took him far less time than I am used to. Check this place out, its worth your time! read more

Best hair experience i have had in a long while! I was on a walk with my dog when i noticed the salon tucked on a side street of Belmont Shore. I decided to check pricing although it looked like it would be pricier then i normally get. Sure enough fate took its course because they were the friendliest welcoming people who were able to squeeze me in same day without being over priced. Gene was who was available. The nicest thing was that he called me to let me know his earlier appt was running late so he could take me now if i wanted. I thought that was super considerate of him to not only let me know in advance that they were running late so i didnt get there and have to wait for that, but also have the option to come in early and have the late person be the one to wait a bit (not that having anyone wait was his intention), but it was just very time considerate and conscious which was much appreciated. Gene took care to ask me what i wanted, payed attention to my natural calics and had a very pleasant chat. He also offered me a glass of wine so i felt especially relaxed and taken care of. Best of all he listened to what i wanted and did exactly that! He did layers and kept my long hair long. Best hair dresser i have had in a very long time! Thank you Gene for fitting me in and taking special care of my hair. It feels loved today! Also, they were super friendly to my dog and gave her treats! I always love dog people! read more

Gene has been doing my hair since I was about 6 or 7, I am 21 now and he is still the only person I trust to do my hair. I started going to him when my grandma decided i was old enough to choose my own hair style. I was a difficult customer and always wanted something different. Gene has never let me down but has always made sure I got what looked good on me even if that meant he had to lead me in a totally different direction. I trust him. It is definitely worth the price. read more

Mane Designs is a cool little shop. Maritza is the best and I highly recommend her.

I have been going to Maritza for almost 10 years and was happy to follow her when she moved to Mane Designs. It's a charming salon with a relaxed and friendly vibe. Maritza is not only a great stylist, she has a great sense of humor and always has something amusing to say which makes the experience even more enjoyable. I have always been happy when we try a new cut and color and would not trust anyone else with my hair. read more

Diane has been cutting my hair for years. When she moved to this salon, myself, my wife and kids followed her over. She's just that awesome. The salon itself is great - small, intimate and a relaxing experience. Jan the owner is always great to us when we come in and happy to see us. Can't recommend Mane Designs and Diane enough. read more

Jan, the owner, is my stylist and gives me a wonderful perm every time. She's pleasant, expert and reasonably priced. I've been a customer for many years, and happy every time. read more

Great haircuts. A bit pricey but less than some in the area. It's 2nd St; it's what you pay.

I will start by saying I am extremely picky about my hair . I have gone to so many salons in long beach via Yelp reviews and have been, sadly to say disappointed . I am very very happy with my hair cut and color ! I found the salon I've been looking for .... Ambiance is very comforting and your stylist really listen to what you really want . Gene did my cut and color and Diane blow dried and Styled read more

What a sweet surprise! Mane is a small salon with great people! Everyone is welcoming and super friendly. Heather has done amazing things for my hair. It went from calling the shots, as curly hair does, to a super easy fun style. I feel amazing when I leave and always get tons of compliments on my hair. Thanks Heather!!! I could not be happier! read more

I took a chance on this hair salon and I'm so glad I did. I am in Long Beach for an extended stay and decided to take a chance on this salon and stylist down the street from where I'm staying, rather than waiting until I got back home to Arizona to have my hair done. Diane did an absolutely fantastic job. She actually suggested an adjustment to my color and highlighting, to more naturally match my own color and skin tone, and I love what she did. The cut is fantastic also. I may just have to continue to come to her rather than go back to my hairdresser at home! :-) (Especially since the point of my stay is to find a new job and move here.) Very glad I opted to take a chance and do recommend Diane and Mane Design. read more

HIGH QUALITY WORK and AWESOME STAFF! It was my first time to go to Mane Designs last week. It was a very spontaneous decision to get a balayage here was very surprised when they were able to squeeze me in on a Saturday. Heather is a great colorist who ensures her customer's satisfaction from the complimentary beverage to the most outstanding hair color and cut you want! I cannot tell you enough how stoked I was with the result - Heather was able to lighten my dark brunette hair in just one session without any damage! Definitely highly recommended! read more

Big thanks to Heather! She out does herself every time. I get sick of getting the same thing every time, so spicing it up is always nice. Most creative types fear the "what ever you want" challenge a client will give, but that girl masters the challenge every time! Thank you so much Heather! Salon environment and staff are very awesome! Highly recommended! read more

Love coming here! Get long layers cut about every four months and it is super convenient. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area!

Diane Peyton is by far the best colorist in all of Long Beach. I LOVE my color & love the quaint environment at Mane as well as it's proximity to 2nd St.. Parking here is easier than at most salons on 2nd St. because of the easy access lot directly across the street. A laid back attitude combined with professionalism & chardonnay makes this my go-to salon in the LBC. Period. read more

Mane Designs is a great salon with friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Maritza is a GREAT stylist and I highly recommend her. I've been her client for over 10 years and would never go to anyone else. read more

So my regular haircutter moved out of town and I had to find another so that always makes me nervous. I heard about Mane Designs from a recommendation from a friend...and it was a very good choice. Jan was great, I loved may haircut, and I'll be back again! read more

I have being going to Jan for about 5 years. She and her staff are all excellent, and I love the relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Great prices, she's flexible with scheduling, and I feel like I'm visiting friends when I get my hair cut! read more

Well worth the 30-40 minute drive to this charming, warm, and fun little hair salon - always a good time. Jan (who does my hair) and Jean are birds of a feather - upbeat and loving; they are much more than just fantastic hair stylists. read more
