Matson & Co - Santa Barbara (CA)

5 /5 Sadie Nardini: Ive lived in LA and NYC where youll find some of the best hairdressers and colorists on earth. Jeff is not only their rival in haircutting talent and quality, his color is out of this world too. I literally have people ask me every other day where I get my cut & color. Matson & Co is my secret.

5 /5 Rebecca Tucker: I discovered Victoria McHone (one of the stylists and colorists now at Matson & Co) through a friend who had amazing hair color. I went for hair color, and ALSO discovered Victoria is the first hair stylist Ive ever had that really took the time (and has the skill!!) to cut my curly/wavy and generally moody hair. I send all my friends to Victoria. Shes also just a rad person and 10000% enjoyable to chat with (or not if thats not your thing at the hair salon, she gets it.)

5 /5 Dorothy Gary-Leveille: Jeff has been cutting my hair for 15+ years and I was so excited when I found out he and Nada were opening their own salon. He always listens to what Im looking for in a cut and/or color and then either executes that idea perfectly, or steers me towards something similar that will work better for me. Most recently he has done a balayage on my hair and I am ecstatic! Its been a month and a half since he first colored it and I am still getting compliments on the cut and color from friends and coworkers. The new salon is lovely: the location is convenient and the space is clean and minimalist without being clinical or uncomfortable. I would refer anyone looking for a great cut, color & salon experience to Matson & Co!

5 /5 Steve L: This locally owned salon provides upscale services with a relaxed vibe. Jeff Matson, a co-owner with his wife Nada, has been cutting my hair longer than I can remember, predating even his own salon. His ability to give me a high-quality, consistent haircut is something I’ve had trouble finding elsewhere. Combining his skills as both stylist and a barber (two different skills is mastered) has always given me the results I’m looking for whether it’s longer, shorter, or somewhere in between. The rest of the staff is always personable and easy to talk to in this laid-back shop. The place is clean and well lit. Located in the Victoria Court shopping center across State Street from the Granada theater. Ample parking can be found in the lot behind the shopping center off of Chapala Street.
