    Synthetic hair passed off as real hair!
    Erica H.

    AGAIN...STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS! The owner passes off synthetic hair as real hair! When I went back to have the owner fix the mess she did in my head, she NOT only would NOT fix it, but ALSO ran out the salon and called the cops! She NEVER came back and left me in the salon sitting there with the mess you see in the pictures attached! I LITERALLY had to pull EVERY SINGLE strand out by hand! This shows HUGE LACK of PROFESSIONALISM and maturity! The statements by the owner are COMPLETELY false and she's just trying to cover her ass because of how HORRIBLE her salon is...DON'T waste your time or money at this place!

    I loved the service they gave me, they were very friendly, it's an incredible salon I thank Elizabeth Contreras she knew perfectly what she wanted and needed I really appreciate the respect and kindness on her part ‍ if you want to be in good hands I highly recommend you I had a partial balayage

    I am in Long Beach for work and wanted a blow out. I am so glad I found Salon 500. I message through Yelp and they responded quickly. Alyssa was professional and amazing. I love my blow out and bonus she noticed I needed a cut. I am ready to start my week. Thank you Alyssa.

    Side color. Love it

    To step across the threshold of Studio O on 2nd Street in Long Beach is not merely to enter a…read moresalon, but to be inducted into a sanctum of aesthetic excellence where the very air seems to shimmer with the promise of transformation and the pursuit of beauty is elevated to a high art form. It was with a sense of profound destiny that I first discovered this hidden gem, drawn in by the enigmatic and stylish exterior that sports the magnificent letter "O"--a symbol that I have since come to realize stands not just for Oscar, the proprietor of this fine establishment, but for the "Outstanding," the "Overwhelming," and the "Otherworldly" delight that awaits within. From the moment I first engaged the services of the miraculous Cathy, a true virtuoso of the shears who seems to possess the telepathic ability to discern one's innermost hair desires before they are even spoken, I was irrevocably hooked on a level of service that far surpasses the sterile pretension of even the most prestigious salons in Beverly Hills. My hair, which is a formidable and unruly entity characterized by a thickness and coarseness that would daunt a lesser stylist, is here tamed and coaxed into a state of sublime magnificence through the technical wizardry and tender manipulation of the entire team, resulting in a masterpiece that I am proud to wear upon my head each time I depart. But the magic of Studio O extends far beyond the cut and color; it is an immersive sensory experience where one is enveloped in warmth from the moment of arrival, greeted not as a customer but as a long-lost companion by Oscar and his talented cadre of artists. The interior is a feast for the eyes, boasting captivating wallpaper and a revolving art gallery that stimulates the mind as thoroughly as the ergonomic comfort of the shampoo bowls soothes the body, while the aromatic scents in the restroom and the offering of exquisite coffee drinks cater to one's every comfort

I've had purple hair for the past 10 years, and every single time he creates the most vibrant, stunning color ..it never misses. He truly has an eye for detail and always gets everything exactly right. Beyond his talent, the entire experience with him is top tier. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and the work he does. And I have to mention..the hair wash experience is next level. So relaxing and just an added touch of a scalp massage that makes every appointment feel like a treat. If you're looking for a master colorist and stylist, Micha is the one. Highly recommend!

It's hidden in a little shopping center and quite honestly I probably wouldn't have given it a try how to not read the reviews and I'm really glad I decided to try them out. Myla -I think that's how you spell her name cut my hair. As she was doing it I wasn't sure what the outcome would be but once she was done and she blow dried it to give it a bit of a style. It looks so beautiful. She cut about 3 inches to get most of my dead ends out. If I'm ever in the area & I need a haircut. I would absolutely come back again.

For me, I got a fresh balayage. Maly fixed my previous bleach, toned my hair twice for the perfect shade, then gave me a nice cut & styled it beautifully. I honestly didn't know how to explain what I wanted, but I showed her a few inspo pics & she immediately knew what to do. Her salon is small & tucked away in a little plaza in Long Beach, but so worth finding! We actually know about her because my mom's coworker referred us! The atmosphere is so intimate with only 3 salon chair. Oh! She treated us to complimentary ramen & donuts lol. Prices are unbelievably affordable.. only $400 for both of us, including tip! That's rare these days!! The only small note is that Maly has a bit of a heavy hand while working!! My mom on the other hand said she actually loved it because it felt like a scalp massage . Overall, we're obsessed with our new hair and will definitely be back.

Brenda is super knowledgeable and explains everything she's using and why, which made me feel so comfortable during the whole process. You can tell she specializes in blondes -- her work is stunning. On top of that, she's just fun to be around. The whole appointment felt easy and relaxed. I'm obsessed with my results and couldn't be happier. 5 stars all the way -- highly recommend if you're looking for a true blonde specialist!

BFFR Period…read morepoint blank I have made time out of my days to commit to our appointments and the first time I did have to change the appointment I stated IF SHE CANT ITS FINE WE CAN STICK TO ORIGINAL, no biggie I can make the original, and then she cancels like bruh we could have stuck to the original & then I couldn't say yes to appointments offered the following day or week because: 1. I had a flight the next day like at 6am 2. when I return I go back to school Mon- Thurs literally 10am -3:30pm and then 6:30pm-9 3. I work 14 hour shifts Fri- Sunday . Not once did she offer if I'd like another stylist , not once did she offer a real accommodation . Let's be real and hold accountability , because this second cancel the day of appointments, messaging me hours before on IG asking to move my appointment earlier to then canceling is WILD . Original : I know the stylists have their own way of booking or dealing with affairs apart of the salon but I think it's wild they have a rebooking fee of over $30 if client has to reschedule last minute their appointments BUT when I get my appointment canceled TWICE by the stylist ON THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT , due to "family emergencies" that apparently always happen. I think it's wild that a stylist can waste a clients time and day considering the first time it was canceled I had planned to get my hair cut before my birthday trip and today it got canceled I had just told my boss no to coming in for a shift because of my scheduled appointment ... what do we clients get in return besides wasted time and lost money ? At least she returned my $20 deposit that has been kept since August but damn , homegirl really needs to take care of home before taking appointments , we have a life out here too.

The blend, the tone, the grow-out -- everything is always flawless. My hair never looks brassy or overdone, and it somehow manages to look better and better as it grows out. I can't tell you how many times I've had complete strangers stop me to ask who does my hair or if they can take a photo for inspo. No exaggeration. Beyond the talent, Kyle actually listens. You don't have to over-explain or bring a million photos -- he just gets it. Every appointment feels easy, consistent, and intentional, and I always leave feeling like my hair looks expensive (in the best way). I've trusted him with my hair for years and wouldn't go to anyone else. If you're looking for natural, lived-in, perfectly blended color... this is your sign.

SUM: booked an appointment here with kyle after reading the yelp reviews because my lifelong hairstylist retired. you pay half of the cost as a deposit up front and the second half is due at the end of the appointment. i actually really love this because it spreads out the cost and i'm not shelling it all out in one go. the appointment with kyle was a fantastic experience. not only is he skilled and gave me the exact cut i was looking for, he was also a great conversationalist. i spent the most relaxing saturday morning with him. kyle and beachy waves is now my go-to!
