So experienced, and listened to everything I said, and gave explanations, and recommendations, and she picked the perfect color for me for my eyebrows.

I'm so excited that they opened a few months ago near me! I definitely recommend it if you were looking for something very professional and pampering! The prices are on par and very well worth it!

If I could give Alexis 10 stars, I would. I've had long hair…read moremy entire life. For the first time ever, I wanted a cut that actually suited my face, and I wanted to go short. Every other stylist I approached discouraged me. Alexis didn't. She gave me a beautiful short cut with bounce on top that frames my face perfectly. Every single person I ran into stopped to compliment me, and it was a real boost to my self-confidence. It's amazing how one simple cut can completely change your look. What I appreciate most is how she listens. Every time I've gone to her, she patiently hears out what I want and what I'd like tweaked, and she already knows exactly what will look good on me before I've finished explaining. I've been to a lot of salons over the last 20 years and was never truly happy, not a single stylist did my hair justice. Alexis is the first person who genuinely changed my definition of what a haircut can be. If you're on the fence about a change, go see Alexis at Riviera Hair Salon. You won't regret it.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Salon Riviera and how this situation was…read morehandled. About a month before the appointment, I received an email from Salon Riviera advertising an opening on July 3, 2026. Since I had the holiday off, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to book an appointment. The only thing I found unusual was that I had to pay $247 upfront before the appointment. On July 3, I drove to what I believed was the salon in West Linn, Oregon. When I arrived, the door was locked, and the business had a completely different name. Confused, I searched for Salon Riviera and discovered it was actually located in Gig Harbor, Washington--a city I haven't lived in since 2015. I immediately called the salon to explain what had happened. I told the manager that I live in Oregon, had received their promotional email, and honestly believed I was booking an appointment at the salon near my home. Instead of listening, the manager repeatedly interrupted me, spoke over me, and eventually hung up on me. I asked if I could speak with my stylist, Aislinn, since I had already paid $247 for an appointment I obviously could not attend. The manager refused, saying the stylist was unavailable. She told me she would speak with the owners about refunding me because no services had been provided. Instead, my appointment was canceled, and my credit card was immediately charged the full $247.00. I never stepped foot in the salon. I received no services, no products, and no consultation, yet I was still charged in full. Even if the salon has a cancellation policy, I believe there should have been some compassion and common sense in this situation. I wasn't trying to cancel because I changed my mind--I genuinely believed I had booked a local salon after receiving their promotional email. Excellent customer service means listening to your customers and trying to find a reasonable solution. Instead, I was treated with rudeness, dismissed, and charged the full amount for services that were never rendered. To the owner: My appointment was scheduled with Aislinn on July 3, 2026, at 12:30 p.m. I called your Gig Harbor salon immediately after realizing the mistake. The manager canceled my appointment because I clearly live in Oregon, yet my credit card was still charged $247.00. I have the promotional emails, appointment confirmation, and credit card records showing the charge from Salon Riviera, 5401 32nd Ave, Suite 101, Gig Harbor, WA. I work hard for my money. It takes me two days to earn $247, and losing that amount for services I never received is incredibly frustrating. I expected understanding and a fair resolution, but instead I experienced some of the poorest customer service I have encountered. I cannot recommend Salon Riviera based on my experience. ***************************************************** Erica, I strongly encourage you and your team to slow down, listen carefully, and fully understand the circumstances when customers call your salon or leave reviews. I do not understand why you believe I would have called your salon to cancel an appointment when I had every intention of showing up and, in fact, did show up for my appointment. Unfortunately, I arrived at the wrong salon due to the circumstances surrounding the booking. I have made every effort to resolve this matter directly, but I feel that the way this situation has been handled is unfair and unethical. I believe you owe me at least a partial refund of the amount I paid. I would prefer not to pursue this through small claims court, but I am prepared to do so if necessary. I hope we can resolve this reasonably and avoid taking further action. Terra

Hey Hello Hair! I…read moreabsolutely love this place. The ladies here are truly the best. I'm lucky to have Charla and Jessica taking care of my hair--my lifelong, deep red hair that I proudly say comes from my great-great-grandmother. It's that strong Indian red MC1R gene trait, and I don't take it lightly! I had hand and arm surgery in January 2026, and the girls even took care of my hair before my surgery. At that time, we were working through simple wash routines together because I couldn't wash my hair myself. They were so patient and helpful through all of it. By the time I needed my next move-up, I was ready to wash my own hair again, and they celebrated that progress with me. I truly love these ladies like I've known them for years. Everyone in the salon is so kind, fun, and genuinely caring--not just with me, but with every person who walks in. Going to my appointment at Hello Hair is something I always look forward to. I genuinely love being there.

Not only does the process feel incredible, she's so gentle and makes me feel so relaxed...massaging not only my face but also my hands and arms but I've seriously had people (many) make comments about how much better my face is looking. And I looked good before!! The treatment makes me look younger, as verified by several people who have known me for years and years. And it's natural, no Botox or fillers to get rid of the wrinkles that start by the time you're a 40 year old woman... Shawna also hooks me up with a great line of skin care goodies to help make it easy to care for my skin at home. It's a team effort! Not only do I highly recommend Shawna and anyone who works for her I totally recommend studio six for anything beauty related. It's a beautiful place, clean and super well cared for. Everyone is kind and helpful and you're guaranteed to leave feel better than you came in....even if that was amazing!!

If something changes, she will let you know unlike other stylists that don't keep you in the loop when you're in the chair for hours. Sharon will always try her best to get your hair to what you want. If it's not gonna all happen in one session she will educate you and let you know if it does take more time. Sharon is by far one of the best hair stylists I've ever had and will always keep going back to her. She is amazing and always keeps the length I want when she gives you a cut and style as well!

Erica and Kristeena have created something truly special. From the moment you walk in, the space feels elevated and intentional. The aesthetic is stunning, high end, and beautifully designed. It instantly makes you exhale. It's relaxing, welcoming, and honestly the perfect getaway for a girls day. What makes Blonde Culture exceptional isn't just the gorgeous salon or the incredible blonding results, which are always flawless. It's the heart behind it. Recently, my daughter was hospitalized after breaking her femur. During that time she developed severe matting in her curly hair. I was overwhelmed and emotional and didn't know where to turn. Erica, Kristeena, and the entire team stepped in without hesitation. For four solid days they worked relentlessly and patiently to help us detangle and restore her hair. It was painstaking, time consuming, and emotional, but they showed up with compassion, love, and determination. They treated my daughter like family. They supported me like true friends. Erica is incredibly talented and so fun to talk to. She makes every appointment feel like catching up with someone you've known forever. Kristeena is just as warm, loving, and supportive and AMAZING at blonding. The energy in that salon is positive, uplifting, and genuine. Blonde Culture is more than a salon. It's a community. It's a place that shows up for you in the big moments, not just the beauty appointments. I'm endlessly grateful and I will never go anywhere else.
