Mathis Murphy Salon

What a hidden treasure this salon is! It's located in the back of the building just beyond an Art Gallery/Store with plenty of visual delights, which has a certain Venetian charm and culture to it. :) Just a few steps up the stairs and the salon continues to be as aesthetically pleasing. It's got the perfect blend of open space, attractive dark wood furniture, and clean lines that create a sophisticated but eclectic atmosphere. I was welcomed by a smiling face, offered a glass of wine (how nice!), and my hairstyling commenced! I was nervous because I was going to try out a new style, long bangs and a twist on my usual color.. I can be kind of OCD about my hair but my stylist really talked with me about what I wanted and made me feel very comfortable. When he was done with the color and most of the cut he dryed my hair a bit before cutting my bangs, I was floored, he did SUCH a good job on my color. (I get compliments constantly) I immediately got a boost of confidence about my bangs and clip, they were gone. He styled my hair and I felt like a brand new woman!! I love the cut and thouroughly enjoyed my experience there. They have won a new regular! Highly Recommended! :) Pros: Great vibe, beautiful setting, awesome cut and color...and the staff's easy on the eyes too! Cons: Kind of a hike for me, but worth it! more

My name is Abigail, I am originally from Manhattan New York and I have been getting my hair done long before Paul Mitchell was in business. I have been to Bellagio, Red and Luis Guy D salons, and Mathis Murphy's zen oasis has me hooked! Kyle Mathis (co/owner) is the Van Gogh of highlights and extensions and has always delivered quality results with my hair. I have deeply considered keeping it a secret, but Mathis Murphy is a salon that anybody who truly cares about their hair should experience! Pros: Highlights, extensions, atmosphere, wine! more

It's happened to us all. You have a comfortable, meaningful relationship with your hairdresser & then he leaves you to pursue the joys of parenthood with his new, rich husband. At least that's what happened to me when I was forced to book an appointment I was sure I was going to hate. At the suggestion of a co-worker, who I must admit had a pretty swanky cut, I reluctantly called to book an appointment with Racheal, but she wasn't available. Since I was headed out that night, I asked if anyone else could fit me in as late as possible. At least I'd have the one good hair night where THEY fix it, you know the way you can't EVER get it to look again at home. The receptionist said I'd be with Kyle.(Come to find out, he's the Mathis of Mathis Murphy, What a hottie!!) I arrive, take a seat in the fountain garden& am offered a glass of wine. The place seems to have an Asian inspired motif, which I found very peaceful. They played a great variety of music. The soap in the bathroom smells great, and if an employee hadn't asked about payroll, I would have never known I was getting a cut from the Owner of the salon. No Pretention here. He asked several questions regarding my likes and dislikes and got to work. HAPPY ISN'T THE WORD. I WAS GORGEOUS. It's as if he just KNEW what I wanted, and what I'd been searching for in all of those years of tearing out pictures bringing them in and trying to describe that I just wanted someone to CONSIDER ME, before they cut my hair. You know... bone structure, skin tone, lifestyle etc. And OHHHMMMM My God. Bliss just doesn't cover how good it feels to have struck hairdresser gold. Now I know this may sound like an Urban Legend, but the following day I got out of the shower, threw some serum in my hair, let it air dry, and had a doo as cute as if I'd fussed in the mirror for hours. I hope parenthood works out for my ex (hairdresser that is), because in all of our years together... HE NEVER DID THAT FOR ME. I'm sold and I'm pre-booked!! Pros: All the Swank of an Upscale Beverly Hills salon without the pretense or the price Cons: Parking, but if you come early you can look in the cool gallery beforehand. more

Owner Kyle Mathis caters to every demographic. He is a genius colorist and stylist. He listens to what I want and then makes my hair look even better than I had hoped. He is a true professional. Not only do I love him, my husband loves him and so does my teenage son... more

I highly recommend Mathis Murphy for the excellent service, ambiance, and expertise of the colorist and stylist with whom I had my appointment. I had an enjoyable morning surrounded by music and gardens, pampered by a foot and chair massage. My appointment was on time, important in a busy schedule. My stylist was creative and artistic in designing a style and color reflective of my lifestyle and complimentary to my skin tone and features. I have never had a more delightful experience and will definitely be returning on a regular basis. Pros: artistic approach to hair design Cons: not open Sundays more

I am a 63 year old man who has been to many salons in my lifetime. It is hard to find a salon where I feel comfortable. Mathis Murphy is the perfect blend of quality hairstyling, caring about the customer and a relaxing atmosphere. Waiting on their patio with the fountain, I feel asleep. I was offered soft drinks, coffee, tea or wine. Maybe I fell asleep due to the wine. It was a totally enjoyable experience that I repeat often. I highly recommend this salon to any man who is looking to be pampered and not feel like you are intruding into a female area. Go and have FUN. Pros: They care about their customers Cons: Parking can be a problem. more
