Matthews Salon Spa Dewitt in Syracuse, NY

I was visiting a good friend in Syracuse, and she scheduled a facial appointment here as a birthday present for me because I've been so stressed out lately. This is her go-to facial spot and Mary is her go-to esthetician. I've never had a facial before, so I didn't know what to expect. I was also super nervous as I really don't like strangers touching me all that much, especially when I'm already stressed out. However, Mary was amazing! She totally put me at ease, and she did a wonderful job. She gave me a choice of essential oils to be used, and I really wish I could remember the one I chose, as it smelled really good. She also has the most calming personality. The salon is very clean, and the other staff were super nice. They sell and use Aveda products, which my friend swears by, though I have never used myself. By the time I left, my skin felt great and I was very relaxed. It was a great experience, and if I lived in the area, I would definitely book another appointment here with Mary and would also try out their haricut/color services.

When I moved to Syracuse I went through 3 or 4 salons before I found Matthews. Finally, I have a place I feel comfortable going to. I am newly experiencing grays, but love my natural hair color. My stylist introduced me to a rinse that gently covers the gray while keeping the majority of the color the same. It looks great! I highly recommend.

Matthew's Salon is a warm and friendly place and the personnel make customers feel like family. Their hair styles are trendy to traditional, depending on your preference. Always a treat to add a facial and massage!

I have always used Aveda salons, so I trusted this salon would be an equally positive experience. I brought my formulas from my Aveda salon in FL for partial highlights. I walked out with bleached stripes, a shorter-uneven cut, and fried ends. She didn't even apologize for damaging my hair, but blamed it on the humidity. Thank goodness I found Fringe Salon to help me start to repair my hair.

I recently moved to Syracuse from Brooklyn and was hesitant to trust a new hairstylist with my ultra curly hair. Michelle did a fantastic job. She gave me a dry cut and made it clear from the get go that she wasn't going to take off too much length or add in layers if I didn't want that. The cut looks great -- just what I wanted. I'll be coming back here regularly!
