Matt Wayne Salon

Charity at Matt Wayne Salon has been cutting my hair for 5ish years and doing my highlights for 3. She always does a wonderful job! I get so many compliments. My hair has some funny waves in it and it always lays really well when she cuts it. She takes really good notes so that she knows what works for my hair and what doesn’t.
My first experience at MW was with another stylist who I liked the first time she did my hair. The next time, I went she butchered my bangs (as I said wavy hair, she cut them short then they shrank even more). The look on the receptionists face when I went to pay confirmed my fears. That was not enough to deter me. I decided to go back but asked for a different stylist. I was told that the one I’d been seeing was let go but they gave me the recommendation to see Charity and I haven’t looked back.

Yesterday I had my first, but certainly not my last, facial at Matt Wayne Salon. Karlee B. the esthetician was fantastic! I loved every minute of the experience. Matt Wayne Salon has a professional staff, are eager to please and from the initial appointment to paying for service was great. I’ll absolutely return to visit Karlee, and recommend you do too!

I gave this salon a number of chances to impress me, and they were not able to do so.
My first time there was for a cut. While not horribly dissatisfied, I was not impressed enough to go back to the same stylist again.
My second time there was for a bang trim at which I got about 1″ more off than I requested… that’s A LOT when we are talking about bangs. They were nice enough to give me the trim for free though, which I appreciated.
My third time at Matt Wayne was the worst. I tried yet another stylist for a simple cut. She actually did a nice job on the cut, but I was dumbfounded by her attitude. Multiple times she insulted the condition of my hair, the cut I wanted and the way I took care of my hair. There is a way to comment on these things to a customer without insulting them. I regret tipping her for the experience.
I will say that the atmosphere is nice and the people at the front desk are friendly. They just need to work on getting talented stylists who know how to listen and treat people respectfully.
I will take my business to the V Aveda Salon (to which I give 5 stars).

I moved back to Omaha and worried about finding the quality colorists I enjoyed at the Aveda Concept salon I frequent in Cleveland. Ladies and Gentleman Salon and Spa just is the best thing I’ve ever stumbled into, hair wise, and I lived in NYC for 11 years.
After a quick talk with the front desk I was assigned to Kristin Schmitz. I told her I wanted a beautiful but natural looking brunette. While her interpretation was more golden than my stylist in Cleveland, I received a TON of compliments on it when it was new and several weeks later when I received the Coppola Smoothing Treatment and you could really see what a lovely job she’d done with the multi layered color.
Her cut was also very good. She’s a real pro.

Unprofessional. Here is my experience: I made an appointment two weeks ago and MW called the day before to confirm. Then 1 hour before my appointment, the stylist called to tell me it wouldn’t work. She tried to shuffle me around — go to someone else, come in 2 hours later, blah blah. Rude, unprofessional. Needless, to say I will not be going back.
The one star is for Jen. She is the best waxer I have found in Omaha and actually deserves 5 on her own. The rest — none.

I have family in Omaha, so whenever I head that way I stop by Matt Wayne Salon. Matt and Denise are usually my two preferred stylists, but even when I can’t get in with them I still leave with fabulous hair. On occasion I fancy myself a massage with Jodi, not only is her energy positive the technique is outstanding. I love Aveda products and love that they use only that line. Front Desk staff are attentive and always greet me with a friendly demeanor and treat me like a favored guest even though I only get to visit them twice a year. I haven’t had any waxing there but I did hear the esthetician is very detail oriented.

Messy and loud inside– just not the «salon» vibe I look for– MY bang trim was butchered– not sure how that happens? Also, you are going to work in close contact with a client– please do me a favor and brush your teeth after that cigarette break– Again — cigarette smelling hair stylist breath is not part of the vibe I look for in a salon.
On the flip side– the girl that did my eyebrows was really good, but even twith that said I do not think I will return unless I havea hankering to smell like a night club after I get my hair cut.
