About Painted Mane
A boutique built on craft, not volume.
Painted Mane is a small, intentional salon in downtown Walnut Creek — the kind of place where the calendar is light on purpose and every guest is treated like the only one of the day.
Founder
Meet Melissa.
Melissa opened Painted Mane after years behind the chair at busier salons, with one quiet conviction: the experience is the service. She wanted a space where clients felt unhurried, where stylists were continuously learning, and where the work spoke for itself.
Today, that's the studio you walk into — a warm, considered room with all things extensions, lived-in color, and conversations that pick up right where they left off.
Book with MelissaWhat we believe
Three quiet promises.
Stay in school.
Our stylists invest in continuing education year-round so the techniques in our hands match what's happening in the industry today — not five years ago.
Protect the integrity.
Bond-building is built into every service. We say no to anything that compromises the long game of healthy, beautiful hair.

Step inside and you'll find a warm, light-filled space — pampas grass, a glow of neon, and the calm hum of a salon working at boutique pace.
