Salon Vivace

I’ve been a redhead for over 10 years now and take a lot of pride in my hair, so when I moved to RPV (circa 2021), finding the right stylist was at the top of my list. I did my usual deep-dive research and found Rebecca at Salon Vivace through the Wella location finder. I seriously lucked out on the first try! Rebecca is an absolute gem—attentive, kind, professional, and so talented. From our very first appointment, I felt like I was in great hands. She has vibrant, colorful hair herself, which immediately gave me confidence that she’d understand exactly what I was going for. And she did - every. single. time. I have long, thick hair that reaches the small of my back, with lots of layers to help lighten the load (literally). My arms get tired washing it, so I can only imagine the workout it gives a stylist—but Rebecca never once made it feel like a chore. She was upbeat, present, and made our appointments fly by thanks to easy, enjoyable conversation and serious skill. Like clockwork, my color and cut would take two hours, and it was always time well spent. The salon itself is conveniently located right off PCH, with plenty of signage and parking (even when it was busy, I never had trouble finding a spot). Plus, the vibe inside is relaxing, welcoming, and a perfect place to treat yourself. My favorite compliment? "You have mermaid hair"—something I’ve heard from more than one kid, and a compliment I share credit with Rebecca. If you’re in the area, or willing to travel a little for great service, and looking for a stylist (whether you’re changing your color, maintaining a signature shade, or just want to feel like your best self), Rebecca is your girl. I’ll miss her now that I’ve moved out of state, but I’m so grateful I found her while I was in California!

Michael Light has been doing my hair for nearly 20 years and I always get tons of compliments. I get my hair cut, colored and styled and it’s always a big win.

Nancy has been doing my hair for longer than I can remember (maybe 10+ years now!) She is professional, amazing at cutting my long fine hair, and so so nice. If you are looking for an amazing cut go to Nancy!

My hair is very difficult to cut. Today I had the best haircut ever with Cisco. He is very experienced and he found the right way to cut my hair. He just got a client for life and Thank you for giving me an appointment with a short notice!

I have been going to Cisco at Salon Vivace for several years. He is a wonderful stylist!! He is kind, caring and he truly cares about pleasing his clients. Salon Vivace is a very nice salon in a very convenient location. I have always felt welcomed and comfortable there.

Just got a last minute hair cut appointment with Rebecca. She cut + styled it so well! And the price here is very reasonable with great hair cut and service. Will come back again whenever I’m in the area!

I just had the best hair experience of my life here! Michael is amazing! I am very picky about my hair and after relocating from England, I was nervous to go somewhere new. But I had my hair highlighted and cut/washed etc with Michael, and I can honestly say I was so happy with my hair! He did exactly what I asked for, but gave me great tips on what to do and then only did what I was comfortable with. I actually learnt so much about my hair from him, and have changed how I wash my hair and brush it from his advice. He is very professional and takes time to understand your hair and what you want. I am excited to come back for my next hair cut with Michael! Honestly you will not regret coming to salon vivace! AMAZING!! Side note - the salon has a lovely atmosphere and his assistant Rebecca was also so lovely and helpful!
