about salon riviera
Our RIVIERA Culture
Kelsey and Erica founded Salon RIVIERA in 2010 with a passion for beautiful hair and the vision of creating a welcoming luxury environment where clients and stylists feel comfortable. Being a sister owned business, we are all about creating lasting relationships within Gig Harbor, our beautiful city we grew up in. We celebrate individuality and strive for every person who leaves Salon RIVIERA to feel like their absolute best selves.
Our RIVIERA Team
We have cultivated an amazing team of experienced and talented stylists who are not only passionate about what they do, but also very wonderful human beings that bring life and positive energy to Salon RIVIERA. It is very important to us to stay up-to-date with the latest styles and techniques with continued education within our salon to provide the best experience to our clients. When you come to Salon RIVIERA, you can trust that you're in good hands.
Our Passion for Education
We feel so strongly that as a talented seasoned staff of stylists it is our responsibility to pass on our knowledge and techniques in this wonderful world of hair design to newly licensed stylist with our Protege Program and to those who have a passion for hair and would like to earn their hours towards a license in hair design!
We now have our own extension program with our hair IN STOCK!
We also host at least 2 outside educator classes a year and an In-Salon class
every single month hosted by our talented Lead Stylists,
Jason, Kelsey & Jessica!
we now carry r+co
R+Co is a collective of some of the most forward-thinking, rule-bending hairstylists in the business. A think tank of top editorial and salon stylists and educators—with a combined century of hairdressing knowledge and experience—and make sure that they have more than one viewpoint on everything they do.
R+Co is about an experience. The packaging and fragrances were designed to enhance that experience and evoke a feeling, place, style or attitude. You'll know just by looking at a bottle or tube what a product is meant to do, and the subtle yet sophisticated fragrances—meant for both men and women.
Award-winning line of haircare products feature unique ingredients and benefits designed to deliver immediate, high-performing results while keeping hair and scalp health at top-of-mind. All formulas are color-safe, heat and vegan, cruelty and gluten-free, and without harmful ingredients such as parabens, sulfates (SLS or SLES), mineral oil and petrolatum.
