I moved here from South LA almost 3 years ago. I LOVED my stylist in LA and even drove 8 hours back a couple of times in the beginning just to have my hair done. He kept reccomending Salon Matos because he's friends with the owners and knew I'd be completely satisfied. But, I was still hesitant. It's difficult to change stylists and trust someone new... even with the superior raving that my former stylist did.\r

Well, one of my trips back had to be post-poned so I figured I'd try a different salon closer to my area (Salon Matos is 45 minutes from me)... Horrible experience. I'll leave it at that. So, then I was REALLY hesitant to try another new person.\r

I looked Salon Matos up on the internet several times. And several times I chickened out until one day I finally made an online reservation. Within moments my phone rang and it was the booking person to suggest a stylist and confirm my appointment. To say I was a little scared when I walked in would be a gross understatement. Melanie greeted me very warmly and made me more comfortable. I was quite impressed with the flow of the salon. It was crowded, which is always a good sign, but it's tempo was upbeat and the pace was set. I rarely ever see anyone just standing around. All of the stylists help each other with their clients. My previous salon only the owner did my hair. I could be in there for 4-5 hours for a highlight, lowlight, shampoo, blowout and style. At Salon Matos I'm always in and out within 2 hours. Less if there is more than 1 person blowing and straightening my hair.\r

To sum this up, I have been going to Melanie for almost 2 years now and I have always left completely statisfied if not more than overjoyed... In fact, I just went this morning ;)
