Joseph Mathew Salon

The owner, Amber, is amazing here! Always gets my husband and I in for an appointment last minute when I come to town. She is always working to do the best possible job and give her clients exactly what they ask for. Every color and cut I’ve gotten from her has looked exactly like I wanted. She often suggests and explains things that would look good on my hair, but doesn’t pressure me into anything. She is highly skilled and has been doing hair since she was 16. The prices are so affordable and they always carry the newest and best hair products in the store. They are very knowledgable about what works for what type of hair and can help you figure out what products will make your hair work and look the way you want it to.
She also styled my hair for my wedding and although I didn’t know exactly what I wanted but gave her a vague description and some pictures from Pinterest. She came up with a design that I absolutely loved. It was exactly what I had imagined and went well with the style of my dress. She even coached my mom, maid of honor, and I on how to put in and take out the veil without messing anything up, which was very helpful.
My husband and I both highly recommend her for your hair styling/​cut/​color needs!

I have thick, light brown hair that I have been getting highlighted and cut by Amber, the salon owner, for 5+ years. I have never left the salon disappointed in my cut or color. I moved to North Carolina years ago and still go to Amber as often as I am able to… at the cost of 3″ roots when I don’t make it back to Illinois for months at a time. She’s the only one allowed to touch my hair after one too many attempts at finding a hair dresser on the east coast then going back to Amber begging for help fixing orange hair. I’ve had my hair done in downtown St. Louis, Raleigh, even NYC… nobody comes close!
