Matthew Salon

I have finally found my salon! Thank you to the previous Unilocal reviewers who led me here. I’ve been in Jersey about a year and a half, and have had nothing but troubles getting my hair done. From refusal to wash, to crooked cuts, to poor highlighting, I had pretty much given up. After my visits to Matthew salon I was able to FINALLY feel good about my hair again and leave beautiful.
I stopped Saturday, unsure of their hours, to see if I could get in. Matthew and Christina were working, and were both very friendly. They informed me that they close at 5, in less than an hour, but would be happy to give me a quick cut. In under 30 minutes Christina washed, cut, dried, and curled my hair! I was already feeling fabulous, but still wanted the color fixed up, so I scheduled another appointment Tuesday morning when they opened at 10am.
Christina and I made a plan before I left, and she was ready and waiting to get started Tuesday. We did highlights and lowlights to give my hair some contrast and bring it back from its ombré-​like bleached out mess. We had great conversation throughout, and it never felt awkward or rushed. In the end, my hair turned out awesome!
I’ll be returning here for all of my hair needs, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great hairdresser. Thanks for making me beautiful again Christina!

I should have written this review while back since I was very happy with my experience at Matthew’s! My stylist Christine is amazing! I was looking for good cut for an upcoming wedding, and thanks to Christine my hair looked fabulous for the occasion, or anytime I cut my hair or Do my Keratin treatment. Christine is patient, and listened to what I was asking for; eventually she made a great recommendation to improve the style and colour in a way to suit my hair type, and overall look. In addition, she has an amazing attitude, and was very passionate about her work. My daughters and I constantly recommend her to our friends and family. Love Yvette and her family!!!

This salon is a hidden gem and no one, and I mean NO ONE does color like Christina. Whether it’s an all over color change or the best, most natural looking highlights, Christina knows her stuff. When I left NJ and moved to NY I made the mistake of finding someone local to do my hair but was utterly disappointed everywhere I went. No one is able to understand the cut or style I want like Christina. And any stylist can make you look good when you walk out but Christina’s haircuts look great days and weeks later when you try to recreate her blowouts at home or as it’s growing out.

After reading the reviews and seeing the pictures, I decided to bring my daughter here for ombré highlights with Svetlana. She did an amazing job! My daughter is extremely happy!

I have been going to Svetlana for over a year and a half and she is great. I have a lot of hair and until Svetlana, stylists and colorists generally have always struggled with being able to treat, cut and or color my hair. Svetlana really is a gifted artist, being new to the area at the time, I was very lucky to have found her. The salon is easy to get to, warm and inviting and over all a really enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend Svetlana for all types of hair!

I have been getting my haircut from Matt from Matthew salon for over seven years and he recently opened up his own place. As a hair stylist, he is stellar. Listens to what you want, is great with a picture, and is honest if he thinks something else might look better even by just a slight modification. I am trying to grow my hair which you know can get boring, but every time I go he does something different to give it a little kick. He knows how I like to change my hair constantly and will give advise, like last time i wanted these mean-​ass bangs but he said the type I wanted would take FOREVER to grow out so he modified and what do you know I am growing them out again!!! Not only does he give a great haircut but the salon is beautiful and relaxing and he is such a great guy. My sister now drives an hour to get her hair done by him. Great cut for a great price.
