I have been going to Polished Mane (previously Static Salon) for over 10 years. I go for haircuts and always leave with a great cut. I see either Jacki or Amber for my haircut. My last cut was with Amber and she did a great job. All the staff are very friendly and attentive to your needs. Good vibe and easily accessible location near the 405 & 605 frwys. read more

The good - the salon is absolutely beautiful, the staff is welcoming, and it's very easy to schedule appointments. My first experience here (getting a cut and color) was genuinely great, which is why I decided to come back for additional services. The bad - this most recent visit was unfortunately one of the most disappointing salon experiences I've had. I spent around $600 on a cut, toner, and Brazilian Blowout. Unfortunately, the Brazilian I received here did not work. After washing my hair for the first time, my hair looked and behaved exactly the same as it did before the service. There was no noticeable change in frizz, smoothness, drying time, manageability, or overall texture. I've been getting Brazilians consistently for 7+ years and they have always produced a very obvious result immediately after the first wash (smoother texture, dramatically reduced frizz, less volume, and much easier styling/manageability). When I reached out to the salon, they offered a redo appointment. However, I declined because I've learned from past experience that when a stylist cannot get their service right the first time, repeating the process can cause additional damage to my hair and more wasted time and money in the end. I explained that I was not comfortable putting more chemicals on my hair and instead requested a refund. The salon denied my request and referred to their salon policy. However, after reviewing the signed policy myself, I noted that it does not state that refunds are unavailable for for Brazilians, or when a service fails to produce the intended result - so I was well within my right to ask for a refund. Despite explaining my concerns again and trying to resolve the issue directly, the salon still refused to offer any refund or partial resolution, which I found disappointing given the cost of the service and outcome. Since then, I've consulted with two veteran stylists at another Long Beach salon that specializes in smoothing treatments. After examining my hair and asking questions about the process, both independently agreed the Brazilian was not performed properly. In addition, they stated I did the right thing not adding more Brazilian chemicals to my hair as it would have caused more damage. I had to pay extra money to have my hair treated with a different approach and to also have my color adjusted due to the way the original Brazilian lifted my color at Polished Mane. Before leaving this review, I attempted multiple times to resolve the issue directly and privately with the salon, as I'm not interested in damaging anyone's business or online reputation. However, given both the outcome of the service and the salon's unwillingness to offer any meaningful resolution, I felt it was important to share my experience and unfortunately will not be returning. read more

I am proud to say that this has been the ONLY place I ever want to get my hair done since moving to Long Beach. While I usually love to get haircuts or Brazilian blowouts with Emily, I've seen several of the other ladies as well and they are all so wonderful! The owner Rachelle is also super sweet and has such a passion and dedication for the place. Not to mention the space itself is so cute and well decorated, along with plenty of snacks and drinks that are offered to you. If you're searching for a place you can trust with your hair with ladies who are super kind and welcoming you NEED to visit Polished Mane! read more

Wanted to do a color correction from black to copper hair. Emily did an AMAZING job. I was worried about the damage it could cause to my hair (especially since I have curly hair), but she truly did such a great job, and it didn't compromise my hair. She walked me through every step and paid attention to every detail. Even after a long appointment and a significant transformation, my hair still feels full and healthy! I recommend Polished Mane to everyone; it has a great vibe, and they truly put love and care into every client. The transformation photos speak for themselves! read more

After having worn extensions on and off for the last 10 years, I can honestly say I've tried ALL the methods. The method that RaChelle has invented is nothing short of miraculous. It doesn't pull. It doesn't hurt. It doesn't curl up on the ends, it lasts for 11 weeks without falling out (or losing beads) and most importantly ITS GORGEOUS HAIR. read more

I've been getting extensions with RaChelle for over 7 years, and I can't say enough about how amazing she is--not just as a stylist but truly as an artist! Over the years, we've tried the Locket Method, Invisible Bead, and now the Polished Mane method, and I can confidently say the Polished Mane is by far the best yet--especially if you have extremely fine hair like mine. With other methods, I'd sometimes worry about beads slipping out or extensions showing, but with the Polished Mane method, I never have to think twice. It stays beautifully secure, looks incredibly natural, and feels so lightweight that I forget I'm even wearing extensions. Having RaChelle do my hair has been a total game changer for my confidence and daily routine. She truly understands hair, listens to what you need, and customizes everything so it looks seamless and healthy. I honestly believe this method is going to become the gold standard in the industry, and it's all thanks to RaChelle's expertise and dedication. If you're thinking about extensions, especially if you have fine hair and have struggled with other methods, do yourself a favor and see RaChelle. Amber Ochoa has also done my color/style many, many times and I trust her implicitly. She, too, listens and delivers perfect color every time! These ladies are amazing! read more

I went to Amber for a haircut a few weeks ago and then back for highlights and lowlights yesterday. I love my hair. She was respectful, patient, and friendly. It is always nice to sit in a beautiful atmosphere while getting your hair done with like-minded ladies! I enjoyed the salon, and I will be back for sure. read more

Rachelle (the owner) is amazing! I've been wanting to try Static Salon (now Polished Mane) for several years and I wish I tried them sooner! The salon itself is beautiful and welcoming, the staff is so friendly, and Rachelle is very talented. I booked a haircut where I was able to show Rachelle the style I was looking for and she knocked it out of the park. I love my new haircut so much. The cherries on top for the experience were the relaxing scalp treatment & shampoo, a blowout, and styling. I cannot wait to come back! They also do coloring and extensions if you're looking for a salon that does those. read more
