Dustin is a true artist ! I went to see him for a curly cut and he worked magic on my curls. I was unhappy with how my hair was looking and left with a gorgeous cut that really made my curls stand out. I'm still amazed a few weeks later with how my hair looks now. I went back a week later to have him color my roots. The color is exactly what I was hoping for. His salon is really nice as well. He's super sweet and very interesting to talk to. I'd give ten stars if I could. I'm so happy to have found his salon and to be a recipient of his talent ! read more

Dustin is amazing!! Finally found someone that told me how to take care of my frizzy thick asian hair! It's not the typical stick straight, but the wavy kinky, frizzy kind. He told me how to treat, mask, condition, style and dry. And now 6 mon later it's so much healthier, longer than ever and I get so many compliments on if I curl my hair everyday. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DD7uov2SoQVGrd_BxyO66MDoVszmUIbZZa8g_s0/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== read more

Aqua Bella Salon - Before - Hair Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

See all

I GOT MY CURLS BACK!! My curly hair was damaged, frizzy, unruly and not very pretty. However, after my first visit with Dustin, I got my lovely curls back. This wasn't just a 'normal' salon experience - it was an education, a delightful conversation, a relaxing environment filled with an energizing vibe and the development of plans to move forward with my future curl care. I'm hooked. I will continue to return to Aqua Bella Salon. Thank you, Dustin for making my curls 'sing' again! read more

I was visiting from out of state and had set an appointment for a curly cut. He is amazing at his craft and has such a kind soul! He was easy to chat with, which made the appointment fly by. He also provided education on product and usage, which I really appreciated. I will come back to California just for a haircut with him again. read more

Just got my second specialty curly haircut from Dustin and it was amazing again. They have such a great vibe. Not only do they know what they're talking about but they're also really nice and great to talk to. They took the time to answer all my questions about taking care of my curls and then some. They were super sweet and patient to help me figure out a daily routine that worked for me to look fabulous. Would highly recommend them! Plus they give great scalp messages read more

I purchased a LivingSocial deal for a haircut and color for this place. When I called, Heather answered and said she will be taking care of me. Getting there was not super fun as Long Beach is really not so close to me. Traffic was bad. Once I got there, I realized they don't have parking for their salon. It's either street parking with meters or free at the residential area. The place is actually very clean and not the type of stylish hip type of salon that I am used to. But no problem, a nice simple place could be fine too. First, I put my handbag and jacket on a hook to the lower left side below the mirror in front of me. The hook was pretty low and luckily my jacket was short and didn't touch the floor. Then I presented the LivingSocial voucher to Heather and she explained to me that the color included in the LivingSocial deal was only 4 ounces. Thus I should just color the roots since I still have color on the rest of my hair and the color would fade anyway. Ok, sure, not a problem and we discussed how I want it cut. When I was waiting for my color to get done, Heather came and asked me about my personal information. There was no explanation of what that information will be used. I assume it was just for her records. Honestly, I was not too comfortable with it but I gave it to her anyway. Then after washing the color off, it was time for the cut. She asked me every step how I wanted it. It's not a bad thing but I do appreciate stylist to recommend something that is suitable for me instead of keep asking me what I want. But that's just me. Here is where the two stars came in. As she finished off the cut, she took the cape off to clean out the hair on it. The problem was once she shook everything off in front of me, all the hair went to my jacket and stuck to it. OMG! I was pissed! I told her immediately and she couldn't hear me because the salon was noisy as hell and she started blow-drying. All the four stations next to us were stylists talking to their clients loudly. Actually I didn't realize how noisy this place was until now. Ok, I decided to tell her at the end since there is not much she was going to do about it as she is already drying my hair. I expressed my dissatisfaction at the end of the service and Heather got me a lint roller. It doesn't seem to bother her at all and didn't apologize. Needless to say, I left unhappy. After I got home, I looked at my hair and it was really not a good cut. The layer was done really choppy. I would not advise anybody to go there. read more

Cute Salon! Very accommodating. First time being there and definitely my new home. There was a miscommunication regarding the day of my hair app. So the stylist Sabine took me on while cutting 3 other women. Amazing multitasker ! I had a color and cut done. Layers and about 2 1/2 inches cut. She new exactly how to flow with my hair! Refreshing... ‍ Anyway, it's a great salon and I recommend it. Kimberly read more

I have pretty crazy, curly hair, that I am very particular about, and Heather has done an amazing job on it every time I have come in. I'm definitely a repeat customer and will continue to be. She has done trims and layers and this time I asked for a pretty drastic cut and she did it expertly. She is professional and considerate of what I was asking for, while still giving me helpful suggestions and guidance. I will continue to come back to this adorable salon and my hair wizard Heather. read more

I don't know what all the bad reviews are referring to here. I purchased a deal off of Amazon local for a cut and color from Heather and it's great! I waited to write a review because I always feel like I need to settle into a new haircut. About a week later and it's all good here. I came in with a bit if a color problem (trying to grow out some black hair color without having a crazy line of demarcation) and Heather was the most knowledgeable stylist I've talked to about it. I have had see crazy things done to my hair in attempts to help grow it out. It always ends with me re-coloring it black just to not look so freaky. Heather did a great job of subtly altering my color in a way that will keep my hair healthy as it grows out. The cut is good too! She layered it heavily to get as much of the black off as we could. It is not an air dry cut but she warned me it wouldn't be. With a little styling it's adorable! I finally feel like I'm getting my hair back where I want it. I totally recommend Heather. She did a great job. She also made sure to tell me to come back in if I didn't like it and let her fix it, and called the next day to check in. I'll be going back to keep my hair on track to healthy again. read more

I recently got the Yuko Japanese Straightening procedure from Heather. I am so happy!! My hair is stick straight and it will be until it grows out! Heather is very attentive by asking what I wanted. She takes time to do a thorough consultation before doing anything, which is very important to me! She is definitely an expert at straightening because she has also done the Brazilian Blowout on my frizzy-curly hair. Her shampoos are heavenly, the salon has a nice vibe and I look forward to going back to Heather. read more

My favorite hairdresser, Cindy works there and her work is amazing! My aunt and I have gone to her for several months and every time we walk in the door she is super happy to see us and makes us feel welcome! read more

I went back on Monday and Heather redid the lowlights with more foils and there was definitely a difference! In the future, I want a slight variation of the color (more red than brown), but that's not her doing--just color choice :) Looks good! Glad I got the Amazon Local deal! read more

I just got my hair cut and colored by Heather after purchasing a deal on Living Social last week. First off, she was super friendly and took the time to explain what had happened to my hair (it was in bad shape!) and what she thought would be the best cut for my face shape and hair thickness. I SO appreciated that she took the time to communicate her ideas and thoughts - it's so rare to find these days - and it put me at ease.She went to work and was really nice and easy to talk to...when Heather was done I couldn't believe the results. I haven't had this nice a haircut in a LONG time. I was so happy (and relieved) to find a hairstylist who finally knows not only how to cut and style hair, but does so without busting the bank! She explained every step to me and gave me suggestions on how to style my hair...she also said I could use the same price for the deal I bought on future haircuts. I am SO happy right now. I have gone to many hairstylists in LA and few bother to spend the time to think about or explain what would look the best on you. She has really reasonable rates and is really friendly, courteous and lovely as a person. Also, the salon is nestled in beautiful Belmont Shore, which is SUPER fun. I live in West LA, but have a lot of friends who live in LB so have been enjoying every minute of this neighborhood which is chalkfull of cute boutiques, coffee shops and Powell's candy shop (where I got some YUMMY gelato before my appointment). I HIGHLY recommend this salon and in case you were wondering, HEATHER IS THE BEST! Thanks so much for making me a happy LA hair girl! read more
