Hair byRandy Knerr

Women's Haircuts & Styling

Vidal Sassoon-trained precision haircuts at Salon Riviera in Redondo Beach. Every cut is designed around your face shape, hair texture and lifestyle — not pulled from a catalogue.

A good haircut starts before the scissors come out. Randy's approach, rooted in his Vidal Sassoon Academy training, begins with understanding the architecture of your hair — how it grows, where it falls, what it wants to do naturally. The cut is then built to work with those tendencies, not against them.

Randy specializes in creative women's cuts: bobs, graduated layers, precision shapes and the kind of blow-dry styling that teaches the hair how to move. After 40 years behind the chair, he cuts by feel as much as by sight — reading density, growth patterns and texture through his hands.

Every haircut at Salon Riviera includes a blow-dry and style. Randy finishes with Davines products and shows you how to recreate the look at home. The goal is a cut that looks good walking out of the salon and still looks good six weeks later.

What to expect

Step 1

Call & consult

Tell Randy what you're looking for over the phone — whether it's a major change or a shape-up of your current style. He'll plan the right amount of time for your appointment.

Step 2

Design

In the chair, Randy analyzes your hair's texture, density, growth direction and how it falls around your face. He discusses the shape with you, makes recommendations based on your features and shows you what the finished cut will look like.

Step 3

The result

A precision cut finished with a blow-dry and style. Randy uses Davines products and walks you through maintenance — how to dry it, what products to use and when to come back for a trim.

Who it’s for

Women looking for a haircut that's designed specifically for them. Whether you want a classic bob, modern layers, a short creative cut or something you saw online but aren't sure will work on your hair — Randy will give you an honest recommendation and execute it with precision. Clients come from Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach and across the South Bay.

Randy’s approach

Randy trained at the Vidal Sassoon Hair Academy, where precision cutting is the foundation of everything. Sassoon's method treats the haircut as geometry — angles, elevation, over-direction — and Randy has applied those principles to every cut for more than 40 years.

His competition career reinforced that discipline. Hair shows require you to cut quickly, precisely and creatively on a model you've never worked with before. That's the skill set Randy brings to every appointment — the ability to read hair fast, adapt on the fly and deliver a shape that works from every angle.

Products: Davines cutting and styling products. Blow-dry finish included with every cut.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a haircut cost?
Every service is quoted at your complimentary consultation. Call (310) 386-8604 and Randy will talk it through with you. The quote depends on the complexity of the cut and whether additional styling is involved.
Do you cut men's hair?
Randy specializes in women's hair design. For men's cuts, he's happy to recommend a local barber.
How often should I get a trim?
Randy will recommend a schedule based on your cut and hair type. For most cuts, that's every six to ten weeks. Shorter styles or precision bobs may need more frequent maintenance.
Can I get a cut and color in the same visit?
Yes. Randy often combines cut and color in a single appointment. He'll plan the timing so both services work together. Mention it when you call so he can block enough time.
What if I don't know what I want?
That's what the consultation is for. Randy will look at your hair, discuss your lifestyle and preferences, and make recommendations. Bring photos if you have them — even if you're not sure they'll work on your hair.
