All Things Extensions
Hand-tied wefts, beaded rows, tape-ins, K-tips, and toppers — placed for natural movement, real density, and a fit that feels like your own hair grew it overnight. Consultations encouraged, never required.
Painted Mane
Be your own kind of beautiful.
A boutique hair studio in downtown Walnut Creek — quietly obsessed with all things extensions, lived-in color, and the kind of haircut that feels like you, only better.
What we do
Hair, painted with intention — never on autopilot.
Lived-in Color
Balayage, foilyage, root melts and glosses — softened to grow out gracefully so you spend less time in the chair, more time in your life.
Blonding
From sun-kissed dimension to bright, icy blondes. Bond-building included on every lift so the integrity of your hair always comes first.
Grey Coverage
Soft root coverage that blends instead of blocks — designed to flatter your skin and keep your color looking effortless between visits.
Our story
A small studio, a big point of view.
Painted Mane was founded by Melissa with a simple idea — a quiet, considered space where every guest is welcomed by name and every appointment is treated like the only one of the day.
We invest in ongoing education so our hands stay current with the techniques that matter — and with twelve chairs and a full team of specialists, there's always room for you without the appointment ever feeling rushed.
