I go here to see Kevin Lang, my hair stylist. He is amazing and never fails to style my hair perfectly! He gets my color right every time and is so sweet to work with. I appreciate the care and detail he puts into taking care of me and my hair. Also an added bonus is that I get so many compliments after he's done my hair . Salon Riviera itself is a cozy spot with lots of available parking in the surrounding area. read more

Over the past 18 months, Kevin has transformed my white blond, somewhat wavy hair into a vibrant, modern style that is easy to maintain and draws compliments from complete strangers! He really listens to his clients and is so detail-oriented when it comes to understanding different hair types. read more

I had a appointment for full service and gal had an attitude and told me she wasn't doing my hair I feel this salon is very unprofessional and will never go back I'm here on vacation and never expected this service read more

A fantastic place to get your hair done, very experienced staff, best products, the energy of the staff is great and a beautiful salon.

Today I was met with full-on hostility and gross unprofessionalism at Salon Riviera. It used to be a lovely place to go for a respite and for relaxation while you got your hair or nails done--a place to decompress. No more. Don't let the fancy facade and elegant interior fool you. You will only be comfortable here if you accept the owner Victoria's (?) two dogs in your face and other dogs in the salon. The owners' run unleashed, barking at customers or just barking, up, down, and around the salon. They will approach you whether you want them to or not. The owner, upon being politely asked, will not only refuse to protect her customers--she will become contemptuous and angry if you dare even politely request that she keep her dogs from you. This morning the salon was a chaotic circus. All you have to do is watch any "judge" show on t.v. to know that refusing to be thoughtful of clients, ignoring basic human kindness by being deliberate discourteous to another human being--coupled with the unbelievable arrogance of forcing your pets on strangers-- often leads to legal liability. It is not only customer-unfriendly but also legally foolhardy, this from one who knows. Don't get me wrong--the dogs themselves are cute as buttons. But when a customer asks an owner to please keep them at bay, and the owner instead does the opposite just to "show you," the problem is the owner, not her dogs. They don't belong running around in a salon. I suggest the owner run a pet-care grooming salon, not one which caters to humans. read more

First of all the place is just gorgeous and it's close to the beach. So if you wanna do something good for the people around you, schedule some self-care time and come here (go to Elicia ::wink, wink:: ) get your hair slayed and spend the rest of the day at the beach. Or vice versa. Just get yourself in Elicia's chair!! Right meow. Ever have those moments where you know you need a change and want to look bomb AF but don't know where to start? Insert Elicia. She knows what would look good on you and she has the ability to make it happen! Be ready to have your expectations not only met but blown into a stylish coiffure. I knew that I wanted balayage but I didn't know what spectrum of the hair color wheel to go. Elicia was able to figure out that the red already in my hair was clashing with the red undertones in my skin making me look constantly flushed. Kinda hurt (I love red) but I love looking magazine worthy. So she expertly gave my roots a natural color and did the balayage. She also toned my hair to take out the red. So what usually would have taken multiple appointments, Elicia managed this all in one. During the process she told me about what she was doing and how I can better care for my hair. She also deep conditioned my ends because there was a lot of bleaching action going on. My hair came out amazing and super soft. I was in love! She's a pleasure to be around. She's great to talk to and has great vibes. I love my results and have been getting compliment after compliment. Please do yourself an act of kindness and schedule your appointment with Elicia today. read more

Salon Riviera - Before and after. - Hair Salons Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I go to Salon Riviera religiously for my facials with Roya 310-774-7287. I love them, 100% would recommend her service. She is flexible and stands out to me as a esthetician due to her understanding of what the skin truly needs, very thorough extractions and relaxing massages. Plus you get the bonus that you are next to the beach so can enjoy the nearby boutiques or even the beautiful sunsets after the facial :) read more

Very unprofessional. Rushed service. Would not recommend it to anyone. The owner is confrontation..

I never had the pleasure to experience this salon. 3 weeks ago I left a voice message on the number listed. I registered online, I wanted to make an appt but it didn't let me! Nobody contacted me to this day. Nobody even notice that there was a new registration? Who is monitoring their phone messages? They definitely missed out on a potential client and possible referrals! read more

Kristel is fabulous! She managed to help me get my hair back to feeling myself after a bad box dye experience! She was professional and confident and knew exactly what i wanted... loving my new hair! Thank you, Kristel! read more

I am quite happy I have found this salon! Krystal does my highlights and cuts. I love that she is prompt, effective and attentive. Victoria did my extensions and she did a fantastic job! She matched the extension so that it blends into my hair perfectly. I also had to go back to get the extensions trimmed and she had no problem accommodating this need! I have been to Carla for my eyebrows and she did a fantastic job as well. I also watched her apply make-up on another client and the make-up looked beautiful. Thank you, Salon Riviera!! read more

Its funny how I wrote a review for this place and it conveniently was deleted? Maybe because it wasnt a five star review? Lets see what happens... I came here to get my hair done for a friends wedding along with my sister. In truth they did a wonderful up do for my sister. Mine on the other hand was simple- wash, blowdry and style somehow.. Of course all i ended up with was curls, but I was fine with it. The kicker for me is that I have long hair, which i do not cut for religious reasons. i told the hairdresser this, and she was surprised, but still throughout kept commenting how she would simply just LOVE to cut my hair. Pretty disrespectful if you ask me. She kept saying how she would LOVE to trim it.. which scared me that she would actually do so. That totally killed my experience there.. I dont know if I would go back if I feel so uncomfortable. read more

I started going to Kristel about a year ago. She does an amazing job with my color. A base that covers my grey and gorgeous blond highlights. My hair has never looked better. The other part I love is she is quick and efficient. She takes about half the time others have taken on my hair and the results are better! I also had a cut I wanted to grow out some layers--she worked with me to grow them out and the cut is great! I would highly recommend Kristel and Salon Riviera! read more

I moved here in august and came to salon riviera to get my first highlights in the south bay by crystal. I have kept coming back because she is very insightful and knowledgable about coloring. She understood immediately what I wanted and has done a fabulous job every time. Not only that but she is very down to earth and a wonderful person to talk to! I love this place! The atmosphere at salon riviera is also really comforting yet chic... I love! read more

MY WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! My hair was spoiled in its entirety, the owner of the salon ( Victoria Tap) is an aggressive, terrible hair stylist, if I can call her as an stylist, she treat me terrible after I told her she messed my hair doing the total opposite I asked for. She is badly educated and she can't accept how badly she works. I only notice that the treatment and the work are awful! I hope never again to find with this type of people so irrational! Trash salon! No go there by any chance!! read more

So it has been a month since I got my haircut. My cut is a short A-Line and it still looks great. I have fine thin hair so finding the right stylist for this is important to me. When I first called I asked from someone great with short hair and the receptionist recommended Kristel. I was on vacation so they got me in pre-lunch. Kristel was very professional and awesome, we talked for a few minutes about exactly what I wanted, she offered me something to drink and we got started. I was in and out in 45 minutes with an awesome hairstyle that, like I said still looks great a month later. read more

I do hair myself. I am from Chicago. I am used to great customer service and prompt answers. I was treated poorly and I never had any of my questions answer. It was the front desk CHICK. She does not need to be representing this salon if they know whats good for their business. Now I still haven't found the right place to get my hair done, so if anyone knows of a good salon who knows how to cut. Please write another review. I will see to it that this place gets better service. I am still so very upset. POOR POOR POOR! read more

I am an internationally published model and have been coming to salon riviera for YEARS and have had just an amazing experience with all of their staff! Not only located in the heart of the riviera village next to lots of amazing restaurants and shopping, it is two blocks from the beach and conveniently priced! When I first started coming here I was seeing April Heath who was amazing and then moved away. When I moved back to california I started wearing extensions and I started to see the owner VICTORIA who is simply AMAZING at everything she does. Victoria has been a life saver. Since I model she has been able to change my hair color/cut as needed, add length with extensions as needed, and one time i came in with a REALLY BAD HAIR COLOR JOB from a hair shoot that i did and she SAVED MY HAIR. She was able to take the color out, fix it, deep condition it and make it look amazing again. She has been doing my hair now for YEARS. (color, highlight, toner, brazlian blowout, and occasionally extensions). I love the fact that they do nails, facials, tanning, EVERYTHING here. I've tried and loved it all. Not to mention they sell makeup and beauty products and ALWAYS have blowout sales on their merchandise. They always have their magazines perfectly and neatly stacked in front of you so you have something to do and there is a beverage station with fresh coffee and tea and sometimes VICTORIA puts out little goodies and snacks. Salon Riviera is convenient for booking/cancelling (withing 48hours) appointments because not only do they have an online booking option, but their receptionists are always quick to answer and respond to your messages. I READ ONE OF THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS BELOW BY BARRY N. and I simply chuckled because I can tell that whoever he is or what his complaint is about... it SHOULD NOT BE ABOUT THE APPEARANCE OR CLEANLINESS of this salon. Sounds like he has a personal issue towards something or someone. Are you kidding me? This place is gorgeous! There is beautiful french furniture , there is a changing room, there is detailed wallpaper, VICTORIA is ALWAYS decorating and updating the salon, there are live orchids everywhere. Geez you should see how nuts she gets with halloween and xmas decorations. The styling stations are all very neatly arranged with large full length mirrors. The PORCELAIN TILING is so clean you can look down and see your reflection! They have updated modern bathrooms and sinks with mosaic backsplash on the wall. There is even a private room that she does my brazilian blow out in that has a large decorative mirroring and gold tiling and brown paint and granite countertop sinks. LOL Sorry Barry i'm writing this review the day after you and I honestly think you are TERRIBLY mistaken! I LOVE THIS PLACE and they are always busy and friendly and accommodating. THE END :D read more

I actually found this salon on yelp when I moved to the area. I get my color and hair cuts from Kristel, and I am always very pleased. She does a great blow dry, and she gives me the Texas style that I love. The salon is very nice and everyone is friendly. I highly recommend this place! read more

I've been coming here for a few years now. Danielle June is the most amazing stylist and I had to follow her here. I've been a client of Danielle's for well over 10 years now. She is the ONLY ONE who knows how to manage my curly hair. I have never had a bad cut from her. She is a great colorist too. I was away on business for work for 5 months and I had to see someone else. Big mistake. From now on, I will only see Danielle. She's fabulous and she makes me look fabulous! The salon itself is great too! read more

Kristel is an outstanding stylist. My blonde highlights look natural and my hair isn't fried by the treatments. I highly recommend Kristel, especially if you're blonde. read more

Karla is the person to see here! She did my gel mani, my pedi, and cut my hair she is so talented and super sweet! I can't wait to back to her to get my hair colored! The prices here are definitely competitive in the area! She pampered me, took her time, and gave me such a good experience! She tamed my wild curls with exceptional blowout skills! Definitely going back here! read more

Salon Riviera - Awesome layering! - Hair Salons Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I've been here 4 times, each time for a spray tan. Everyone there is super friendly, from the person who answered the phone to take my appointment, to the person who greeted me, to the person who I paid on the way out. I thought the salon looked very clean and modern. My first spray tan was AMAZING. I had Valerie (I think the owner?) spray me. It was my first time ever doing a spray tan (done by a human not a machine!) and she walked me through it step-by-step, showed me how to apply the lotion over my nails and in between my fingers and toes so they wouldn't get orangey and look fake. She gave me a disposable g-string to wear and since I was breastfeeding, she gave me cotton balls and tape to cover my nipples. She answered all of my questions patiently. I felt like she really took her time to get the color right, to deepen the color in certain areas of my body, to make it lighter in other areas. She was very professional too. I didn't once feel awkward or uncomfortable. I had to wait afterwards to dry and it took longer than I expected (maybe 20 minutes?) but they had a portable heater in there, which was nice. I also like how they told me over the phone to exfoliate beforehand and not to put any lotion on my body or makeup on my face. The tan itself was perfect - a beautiful sun-kissed color, totally even and lasted for awhile even though I was in a pool a lot (I was in Ojai for the weekend for a friend's 40th bday bash). I had many compliments - people thought I lost ten pounds! The cost is reasonable, $40. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because the 2nd and 3rd time I went in, it was not as even, not the beautiful sun-kissed look as much (more orangey). There were areas where I could actually see a few drip marks. But I had someone else, not Valerie. (I can't remember who - but they were different both times. And one of them yakked my ear off the whole time she was spraying me - I felt like she wasn't even paying attention to what she was doing!). So I guess the moral is to ask for the owner when you make your appointment!!! read more

wow! Danielle June kicks ass at Hair! and in every way She gives the best scalp massages and also the color in my hair is so rich and shiny. (still looks awesome) She made me feel really comfy and at home (great convo!) One of the best hair cuts (aka bangs) that I have ever had! the salon is also very clean, hip, and not too pricey. Danielle will make your day! read more

I've been to Riviera three times and each time left very happy with the service I received. Based on what I've seen and read, each customer's experience will vary and this is really just dependent on who is the stylist in question. So, as I said, I've been here three times and my girlfriend has been here 3-4 times. We both see Tammy and have only had great experiences. She is someone that we continually trust because she delivers great results every single time. For the service that I've received from Tammy, I would and have gladly paid more than charged. Tammy is an awesome hair-cutter, and always has great style in mind. I never give her specifics as to how I want my hair, but she always leaves me extremely happy with what I've received. Those times that she said "all done" and I wanted something else? She never disappoints.. really delivering "on the head" what I am looking for. She's a great conversationalist as well, and I have to believe she hasn't had a "bad day" in a looong time. Kudos to her and this establishment. With more folks like her, this place will be the best in the village and the South Bay. read more

Danielle June= best hair stylest ever She's like a mind reader. She knows what I want and can deal with all the changes I want in my hair. She listens to me and helps me find the best cut. And best of all she has an amazing knowledge of hair. She can work with curly hair very well which I think is a true test of an amazing Hair stylist. And BEST of all she is just fun to be around! read more

Go to Kristel you will be extremely happy you did! I had an appointment with another salon in Rivera Village for a cut and color. I was headed to a industry function and my hair needed to look outstanding. Well that other salon canceled my appointment on the day of the event. Luckily for me Kristel was available, she cut, colored and styled my hair in record time. For the first time In years, my hair looks really good with nothing more than a blow dry, that is the sign of someone who really knows how to cut hair. I have had more compliments on my hair in the last 6 months than I have in the last 6 years! The salon is great, very comfortable, professional and everyone there is extremely nice a capable! read more

I am a regular client at Salon Riviera. I see Susie for gel manicures, and seasonally, I see Sharon for spray tans. Susie does an amazing job with gel manicures. She has a variety of high quality gels (OPI, gelish, gelousy, etc.) and has such a great variety of colors. Not only that, she stands by her work. I'm a nail breaker, and although it doesn't happen often with Susie, she fixes the break for free as part of the guarantee of her work. Not only that, she works a ton so you can find a time with her that works in your schedule. She's so flexible and customer service oriented! Similarly, Sharon is both the salon manager and does spray tanning. They sell a package at SR of spray tans, and the deal seems to be continuous. Sharon is very customer service oriented as well and attentive to exactly what you are looking for. She is also very flexible with appointment times, and I get tons of compliments on her tans. My friends always marvel that my tans from Sharon last so long. I like that the tanning product she uses is natural and does not smell horrible. Thanks to Susie and Sharon, I always feel like a valued customer at Salon Riviera and highly recommend it! read more

Customer service overall left a lot to be desired. $80 for a wet cut with no blow out. Would suggest including a blowout so clients can see the final result prior to leaving the salon. read more

This place is so great. Nice ladies working - Hey Angie! I always get a first class scissor cut from my girl, Victoria. She is the owner and runs a clean, stylish and fun salon right in the Riv. Love this place. read more

The single worst experience ever! Not just that I did not receive the haircut I wanted (even though I provided a photo of the hair style I wished to receive!) She (Victoria) was extremely rough, every single time she moved the big rounded brush up literally smacked my head with it! I left with a headache and for this "torture" she charged me $90 witch I consider astronomical for the service provided! read more

Melisa does the best nails ever! She is so kind and understanding. Very sanitary and clean. Great salon. I always have her do my nails.

For my big birthday celebration, I wanted to get my hair styled. I've never gone to a salon for an updo before so I referred to yelp and I'm SO glad I did! I called Friday for a morning appointment for the next day...I was set up with Kristel and she was AWESOME! I had a photo of the style I wanted and she quickly began sectioning and curling. Kristel is super sweet and we talked sports, etc...and all the other stylists kept walking by and saying how great my updo was lookin...one of the other stylists told Kristel she thought my updo was the best work she'd ever done...and I'm SO grateful it was with my hair!! And it was only $65! Which, if you look around is on the lower cost of updos! With all the stress of planning my bday event and driving all over town picking up, loading and getting ready, Kristel at Salon Riviera allowed me to relax and reboot my energy while she made me look like a Greek Goddess! One less thing for me to worry about! Thanks Kristel!!!!! read more

Kristel was great. My balayage and cut came out exactly as I wanted. She was efficient, amiable, and attentive. First time at salon riviera. I live in ny, but when I'm back here I'll book with her again. The salon is clean, spacious, and peaceful. Worth a visit. read more

First of all, my haircut ended up really nice. The place is just too much money for a lackluster experience. The shampoo-ing was boring, barely a head massage and there wasn't anything special to the chairs. My stylist didn't give me any suggestions on products/techniques aside from suggesting brazilian treatments even after I expressed disinterest in chemically treating my wavy hair. I asked about a hair dryer/brush suggestion for a blow out and got no response. I liked how my hair turned out and wasn't fully disappointed as a first timer but I really don't think it was worth the money. At all. I will not be going back. read more

First off, i love the girl that does my hair. she is great and i get a lot of compliments on my color. The reason i dock 2 stars has to do with the salon and if i would have known this before i started going i probably would not go here. 1) you can't leave your tip on your credit card you have to tip in cash. this is annoying. now when i go i have to make sure i have cash on me and not just $5 bucks but like $20 at least. I think for a $70 regular hair cut you should be able to tip on your card. 2) they charge for bang trims. most places when you get your hair cut there they give you 1 or 2 free bang trims between cuts. Here they charge $10. Plus you have tip so now I'm at $15 for a bang trim. Its like the salon is trying to be high-end, but these two items keep it from joining the A list. read more

I Will NEVER go back to this hair salon!! It has a very BAD customer service, i was really unsatisfied after I went there. Poor communication btw hair dresser and customers and not nice... I booked for a conditioning treatment and blow dry , estimated 1:15 duration by the manager. She didn't give me any price estimation. I went their for my prom and I showed my hair dresser a picture of the hairstyle I wanted , It was a nice wave on over shoulders short hair I asked if it was possible to have the same but on long hair. She said yes of course. After she finished. (One hour) She said I was set and she just left me at my chair. It didn't look at all like on the picture. I was not satisfied at all so I waited on my chair about 15 min before she came back. I said this is not what I wanted I asked for more waves and volume on the top and I showed the picture again. She answered that she could fix but that she couldn't do what was on the picture because the model had short hair and mine was not. She added that it would cost 15 bucks more because if she fixed it wouldn't be blow dry anymore but a hair style with iron and that that was a different tariff but I had to decide right then because she had an other customer waiting for her with more hair than me.!! She was rude and not understanding at all. She made me feel like requesting extra of their time when I should have a correct service at the end and she had just spent one hour with me ! I deserved at least my 15 min more. Plus the salon was empty! I accepted to pay more for a better hair style that what I had and I was still not happy with it . Very disappointed. I had to leave because I was in a hurry. She asked me if I was happy with it I said no, they charged me $95. Later I called them asking for a partial refund as a compensation for their service was so poor. They were incapable of anything. read more

My hair is overly complicated (not quite curly, nowhere near straight, baby-fine yet very abundant!). I've gone to a lot of hair salons in my life and have stuck with the same hairdressers a couple of years at a time. Then I went to Tammy at Salon Riviera, and everything changed. If that sounds dramatic, well, IT WAS. She listens to everything you have to say, asks a ton of questions, and makes sure she has a clear understanding of what you want and need before going to work. Her cuts are fantastic, but her color is even better. She has an instinctive talent for it. It's not inexpensive, but you will step out of there looking great. And because the cuts are so good, your hair will continue to kick arse for weeks and weeks and weeks. read more
