Salon Five Hundred

I just had my hair done by Eliza...AGAIN! She has been doing my hair for the last four years. I will not go to anyone else because she respects me, and treats my hair like it is gold! She always informs me on the condition of my hair, and uses the best products to adjust whatever needs my hair may have. We have great conversation...share constructive advice, and she always makes my experience comfortable and relaxing. She is a true professional and focuses totally on her job with a positive attitude and warm disposition. If you need your nails done I always choose Celeste. She is a wonderful manicurist and a fabulous lady. She has a great sense of humor and is always willing to accommodate my schedule. I thank both of you for an enjoyable experience every time I come in to see you! more

I just want to say I appreciate the great service I received when I needed my nails done while in town for the AAPC convention. Though I got a bit turned around in directions to get to the salon, the receptionist got me right on track and I found my way. While I was running late, the manicurist did not mind and did the best she could, since I needed a fill on my gel nails. It was a challenge at first but Leslie fixed my nails in a pinch. They were so helpful and glad they were able to accommodate at such short notice, they even opened up for me earlier than expected. Thanks much Ladies, and when I visit Long Beach again, I'll stop by to visit again. more

Hi, i went to Salon 500 and had Laura do a brazilian blowout on my hair. It has been 3 weeks and I love my hair. It is soft, shiny and smooth. It now takes me 20 mins. to wash and dry my hair when it used to take me 2 hours. I love my hair thanks again Laura. see you soon Lexie more

I wandered in here without an appointment and I was pleased they could take me on such short notice even though the salon was busy. I was in dire need of a trim and had some horrific haircuts in the past. The older gal that cut my hair said they were the only full service salon in the area and they offer skin care and pedicures too. I had no idea as I was going across town and wasting gas and mileage on my car. The hairdresser recommended a quick conditioning treatment. My hair feels great as it needed some serious moisturizing and TLC! This place is in the heart of 'East Village'. What a clean, charming place, I felt like family. They welcomed me and offered me a wonderful espresso. The staff truly has experience and I am glad I made a pitstop here. A great find amongst the unique shops and cafes in the area. more

This was a true find on my own, considering I asked the hotel staff what they recommended. They tried sending me to salons that were too far to walk to or closed down! I don't know if they get kickbacks but I thought that it was wrong to send me way out of the area cause I did not have a car. I easily walked to this salon here without spending too much on cab fare or bus fare. I came in for a quick manicure and blowdry style. The gals were professional and friendly, easy to have enlightened conversations with. Cute and cozy and so very affordable, compared to salons back home! more

When I moved to Long Beach from Santa Barbara I was afraid to change hairstylists- then I found Michael Pradon. He is so easy going, friendly, and a great listener. When I gave him very specific instructions for my hair he gave me exactly what I had asked for. Ask for Michael if you need a cut, color, and style...or just a good movie recommendation! more

I couldn't believe the Hyatt did not have a salon in their hotel. The front desk referred me here and there's even a discount for 20% service. This salon reminds me of one at home, clean and pleasant. My nails needed some serious work and needed a manicure, STAT! It was a wonderful experience and was more than I expected. I was also given a tiny bottle of top coat to take with me. She could tell I took care of my nails and asked if got manicures on a weekly basis. (I do, even though I travel alot). She affectionately called them 'easy nails'. I had to laugh! If I had more time I would've done the pedicure. The only problem is the manicurist does not do fake nails and had to turn away my friend. I'm going back tomorrow for color, blowdry and style! more

I had a great experience here last month, good vibes and easy on my wallet. Friendly staff greeted me as soon as I walked in. The salon has a variety of beverages available. I was able to walk in without an appointment for a blow dry and style with Valeska. She curled my hair just right and the hairspray she used made it last through the evening. Valeska recommended some really nice products by Eufora and they cannot be found anywhere but here. I also had some gel nails and a pedicure done by Celeste. I am used to wearing acrylics but the gel nails lasted way longer. The application doesn't stink like in the nail shops. For those of you who are hesitant to get a pedicure, this place uses a tub, not whirlpool spa, so no fungus will appear. She can also provide manicures or pedicures while you're getting your hair done. The hair and nail services exceeded my expectations at reasonable prices. The salon also has an esthetician named Janet. I'll come back again to try these services before I travel for the holidays. more

I had the best haircolor at this salon! Morgan, the stylist worked for a celebrity stylist in L.A. before she moved to Long Beach and she is really talented. I wanted ash blonde with highlights which is the hardest color to get right. I've had other stylists turn my hair green or purple. Morgan really got it right! \r \r She also offers 20% off for first-time clients and a free conditioner with any color service. I'm so glad I finally found someone who can do ""my"" haircolor. Pros: fun salon more
