I have never ever had a hairdresser as good as Matthew. I’ve been to him 3 times now and each time he’s gotten to know my hair better and I’ve had a better cut each time. He’s made spot on recommendations. He’s listened to me and never made me feel or look foolish when I didn’t want to listen to him. I honestly believe at this point that my curly hair is the best it can be because of him. I’ve never been more pleased with what my hair looks like on a day in and day out basis. I have a lot of respect for his abilities. Also, I just really enjoy my appointments with him. He’s a lovely person to chat with about hair or anything.

You should feel like a movie star every time you leave the hair salon. Matt does the trick every time. I was hooked from my first visit years ago… I swear it has been like 4+ years. But I’ll never forget my first visit. I went in for a color correction. Matt looked me square in the eyes and then turned over my wrist. Uh… wth? He told me he was checking to find out what colors work best with my eyes and skin tone. I was in love. He is extremely consistent and delivers the same color each time. I’m premature grey and find that my hair can be stubborn to hold color and had problems in the past with consistent coloring, but not with matt. As a female, I feel the need to mix it up from time to time and he doesn’t complain. When I tell him that I need to watch my budget, he works with me to find alternatives to lower the cost. When I told him that I wanted to put pink in my hair, he was all for it. He put a few lowlights and recommended I wait to see how I like it before doing more. I loved it and I’m totally addicted. When I need a cut, I can bring a picture and he’ll tell me why it’ll look fantastic or why not(usually the shape of my face and my coarse hair isn’t a good fit). Now I just tell him I want something different, how short, and to make it look good. He’s never done me wrong. In fact, I used to hate having long hair because I couldn’t style it. Somehow Matt gave me a cut that i can’t get enough of. Not only that, but he’s a stellar individual. I went in once completely hungover and could barely function. He went out and bought me a breakfast taco so I could eat something and feel better while my color was setting. I mean, seriously, has your stylist ever done that? He stays up to date on the latest cut or color trend. He takes classes to hone his skills. He loves what he does. He’s fast. And I thoroughly enjoy spending a couple hours with him talking about whatever life is handing us at the moment. He’s an all around great person and fantastic stylist. He’s going places so you should get to him while you can.

LOVE Matt! I have been seeing Matt for almost a year now(I see him every 10 weeks) to get my hair cut and have left feeling AMAZING every time. Always up to date on which celeb has what hairstyle, he hooks me up :) My hair hasn’t been colored in 8 years, and I was feeling the need for a change. Matt gave me just what I wanted… natural ombré. Did such a good job, that I asked him to do more next time I saw him! Very personable and educated. He’s my guy!
