How much does a keratin treatment cost?

Every service is quoted at your complimentary consultation. Cost depends on hair length, density and the specific treatment. Call (310) 386-8604 and Randy will talk it through with you.

How long does a keratin treatment last?

Typically three to five months, depending on your hair type, how often you wash and the products you use at home. Randy provides aftercare instructions to maximize longevity.

What's the difference between keratin and Brazilian Blowout?

Both are smoothing treatments, but they use different formulas and processing methods. Keratin treatments tend to last longer and provide more straightening. Brazilian Blowout is lighter and more flexible. Randy will recommend the right one for your hair type and goals.

Can I color my hair and get a keratin treatment?

Yes. Randy schedules the services in the right order — typically color first, then the smoothing treatment — to protect both the color and the treatment results. Mention it when you call so he can plan the appointment.

What is Olaplex and how is it different from keratin?

Olaplex is a bond-building treatment that repairs damage at the molecular level. Keratin smooths the outside of the hair. They do different things and Randy often uses both — Olaplex during a color service to prevent damage, and keratin after to seal and smooth.

Keratin, Brazilian Blowout & Olaplex

Keratin treatments, Brazilian Blowout and Olaplex bond-building at Salon Riviera in Redondo Beach — smoothing, strengthening and shine treatments for every hair type.

Smoothing and bond-building treatments tackle two different problems. Keratin treatments and Brazilian Blowout address frizz, texture and manageability — they coat and seal the hair cuticle so it lies flat, reflects light and resists humidity. Olaplex works at a molecular level, rebuilding the disulfide bonds that are broken during chemical services or heat damage. Randy often combines them.

Living near the beach means living with salt air, humidity and UV exposure. South Bay clients — from Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach — often find that their hair needs extra help staying smooth and strong, especially through summer. These treatments are also popular after heavy color work, when the hair needs bond repair to recover its strength.

Randy applies every treatment himself. He assesses your hair's condition, selects the right product and formula strength, and manages the processing time precisely. The difference between a salon-applied treatment and a drugstore version is the same as the difference between a tailored suit and something off the rack — the technique matters as much as the product.

What to expect

Step 1

Call & consult

Randy asks about your hair type, condition, styling habits and goals. He recommends the right treatment — keratin, Brazilian Blowout, Olaplex or a combination — based on what your hair actually needs, not what's trending.

Step 2

Treatment

Professional application in a controlled salon environment. Randy manages the product, processing time and heat application for maximum effectiveness. The appointment typically runs one to three hours depending on the treatment and hair length.

Step 3

The result

Smooth, strong, frizz-free hair with lasting shine. Randy provides specific aftercare instructions — which shampoos to use, how long to wait before washing, and what to avoid — so the treatment lasts as long as possible.

Who it’s for

Anyone dealing with frizz, humidity-induced puffiness, heat damage, chemical damage or hair that just won't cooperate. Keratin and Brazilian Blowout are popular heading into summer or before a vacation. Olaplex is ideal after heavy color work or for hair that feels weak and elastic. Randy will recommend the right treatment for your situation.

Randy’s approach

Randy doesn't take a one-size-fits-all approach to treatments. He evaluates the hair's porosity, elasticity and condition before selecting the product and formula strength. A fine-haired client with mild frizz gets a different treatment than a thick-haired client with severe damage.

He often pairs treatments with color services. When a client comes in for corrective color or heavy lightening, Randy adds Olaplex to protect the bonds during the chemical process and may recommend a follow-up keratin treatment to seal the cuticle and restore shine. The combination means the hair can handle ambitious color work without the damage you'd normally expect.
