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!
