Matt is hands down the best colorist I've found in LA/Bev Hills! When I moved in LA I went to a few of the "top" Beverly Hills salons expecting amazing, top quality color, but ended up with thinning, damaged hair. I'm platinum blonde so its not an easy color, but when you're paying top dollar you expect top results. With Matt, you get the BEST care/detail/attention and more. From the moment we met he literally had a strategy session to determine the safest, most effective way to keep me Blonde without further damaging my hair, and actually getting my hair healthier in the process. Every time I see him my hair is healthier and healthier and I'm blonder than ever! Matt designed a hair rehab plan for me that is so fantastic- he has literally saved my hair!!! LOVE! read more

Wow! So excited about my hair. After trying out so many people over the past few years, finally feel like I've got the look I've being going for. Matt has a whole different approach than anywhere I've been. He corrected all the problems and left me with a natural but striking new color and cut. His assistants are super nice as well and the salon is beautiful. The process does take awhile but they are working on you the entire time. Very happy. Will be back. read more

I have only written one review prior to this one and its the only one I have ever written about the one and only hair colorist Matt Rez. I have followed Matt over the years from his start almost a decade ago until now, 10 years later when I sit besides his celebrity clients and watch him work his magic on our manes. you know what a girl looks for in her mane man? Consistency!!! Ladies how many times have you liked your hair the 1st visit and the next time and 3rd chance were a bust? The best part of it is that he hasn't changed one bit. His work has always been amazing and he's so up to date with all the trends! He's the same caring, kind hearted person he was since day one even with his latest achievements and success. if you are looking for someone that will give you that "it" color, all the meanwhile is super kind and caring, he is your guy! read more

I followed Matt from his previous salon and I haven't regretted it for one day. He's a master of blonde coloring, gives amazing attention to his clients and is beyond pleasant and fun to pass the time with. If there were more than 5 star I would click them all. Big fan. Huge. read more

I am so impressed by Matt's coloring skills. I was nervous to get balayage done for the first time on my hair! Matt really listened to me and my hair turned out better then I expected. His assistants are really sweet and so talented. I was at the salon for five hours but it was so worth it! read more

Matt is the best!!! What he does, can't do any other stylist. I came to him with destroyed hair at another salon with no hope fixing it and he made it look amazing! So happy!!! ;) read more

I have been looking for a good stylist for awhile now, and I am glad I turned to yelp for help and found Matt. He has a great artistic vision and he is truly a professional, not to mention a nice, genuine human being, which is great quality to have, especially in the beauty/fashion world. He sees the beauty in a woman and he just enhances it, through his art. Truly grateful to have found him, highly recommended. read more

Matt is simply the best. I always get compliments on my color, and I appreciate his approach so very much. He is not only talented, but extremely kind and easy going. He is as good as it gets. read more

Absolutely amazing!! He is a hair god and his assistants are angels. They went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. During entire appointment they were all very attentive and great energy. Matt is very honest from the beginning and explains every step in detail. I will be happily returning to all my future hair appointments!! : ) read more

Matt is a hair coloring/ stylist GOD. I don't say this lightly. Just go follow him on Instagram, look at his portfolio or look at my picture. He's an artist. Absolutely professional, a perfectionist and a pleasure to spend time with. If you want results, this is your guy. I want him to succeed and blow up this town; but I'll stop now, because I also want to kidnap him and keep him to myself. One look at any of his clients' results and it's all you'll need to know. It's magic. He's magic. Best kept secret.... But not for long..... _hair artist_ read more

Matt is the best colorist I know! He helped me go from poorly done multi colored highlights to a very natural looking color. He goes ABOVE AND BEYOND to get the perfect color!! I get compliments everywhere I go on my hair color. I will never get my hair done by anyone else again! read more

I came across Matt's work on Yelp/Instagram and immediately fell in love. I'm not a person who has a ton of disposable income to spend on my hair... But what really impressed me about Matt's work is that he doesn't just do your hair so that it looks great when you walk out the salon door, but still looks amazing 3, 6, 9 months later. I got my hair done with Matt 3 months ago, and it's grown out so beautifully and naturally. He gave me the bright, beachy blonde color I was dying for, but blended it with my roots so I wouldn't need to come rushing back to the salon every few months. Matt is a true color artist.. And absolutely positively worth the money. I couldn't recommend a hair colorist more! read more

I found Matt through Violet who did my hair extensions and let me tell you I could not imagine going anywhere else. Matt and his team made me feel like we were old friends after all of five minutes. Each of them took the time to explain the whole process to me and were beyond kind when I asked them all sorts of questions. I felt pampered and cared for and my hair....my hair is AMAZING. I am so in love with my perfectly highlighted, sun kissed brunette color and cut. I didn't even know what was missing and now I'm hooked! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love my hair and my new look and could not be more excited about having a team to come back to in the future!! read more

Matt is the best you can get in the business!! And on top of it the nicest most humble artist. Love him as an artist and a human being. Simply top notch!! read more

I had really been wanting to change my look and in particular had been admiring the art of balayage. This led me to Matt, he is truly the Van Gogh of hair! His vision is spectacular and not to mention he goes above and beyond to make sure his work is flawless. I took time to look at a lot of pictures of Matt's work and knew I was in great hands. His work truly speaks for itself. He exceed every one of my expectations and I will never let anyone but Matt touch my hair again. Along with the amazing work Matt made me feel at ease and confident knowing I was in great hands. His work was flawless and I had a ton of fun throughout the whole experience. Everything was perfect form the consultation to the finished result. THANK YOU MATT!!!!!!!! read more

I found Matt through YELP....when he immediately returned my call asked me what I was looking to accomplish with my hair then we spoke about what he would do to correct my hair disaster. I knew I would be in good hands,......no amazing hands! Finally I found a colorist who understands what I was always trying get to with my hair. The service was great and his assistant Erika rocks! I would definitely recommend him for any color service! I absolutely love my hair! Thank you Matt! read more

A few years ago my stylist moved to London, and I was broken hearted. It shouldn't be an impossible feat to find someone who can nail excellent color and cut in Los Angeles... oh, but it is! Until I met Matt. Matt is truly a genius with color - especially blonde highlights. I have never in my life had someone be so attentive with the processing of my color, he literally is on it checking individual strands to make sure it is exactly balanced. Honestly, he is more of an artist than a stylist. The best part about Matt is that he is a total doll, and his assistant Erica is lovely and gives the best head massage and beach waves. Going to see Matt is truly a highlight of my month, and I am floored every time. Ladies, do yourself a favor, especially if you are blonde. He is THAT good. Actually, he is the best. And in LA, that is saying a lot! PS... His cuts are perfection as well. I have his number saved in my phone as "Matt the hair God". read more

Matt is the best in Los Angeles for color , he takes care of your hair and really know what he is doing. You can't go wrong with him. Love how pro he is. read more

Matt is amazing! He is truly gifted in knowing what color and cut works best for you. He is an artist ... not just a hairstylist/colorist. I've been seeing Matt for over 5 years and I've never had so many compliments on my hair. He is the BEST!!! And a sweet too! read more

Matt has been doing my color for over a year now and I still can't seem to get enough! If you're looking for a talented colorist who is a true professional and absolutely passionate about his work, look no further. Matt has an eye for color- whether you're a brunette or blonde or anywhere in between. When you first meet with him and plan on going anywhere on the color spectrum, he is completely honest about the best process and the safest and least damaging way to get your hair where you want (just check out his Instagram for his amazing results on both long and short hair- @balayagebymatt). His color also stays amazing until you visit him again- I still get many compliments after a couple of months from my last visit. As some of the other reviews have said, he is so friendly and fun to work with from the get go, but keeps focus like a true professional. I always look forward to and get really excited to see him! read more

I wish I could post a higher star review...Matt is truly THAT good. My only fear is that the secret of this amazing colorist will come out and he'll be so booked, that I'll never be able to get an appointment again. Finally after decades of looking, I've found the man of my dreams. One I will never cheat on again! Matt did his balyage magic on my over processed, flat and faded color and transformed it into something incredibly beautiful and natural looking! It looks like the hair of a child with sun-kissed highlights and a natural color. Matt is also is so sweet and adorable, he's a pleasure to spend time with. I know this review sounds too good to be true and you may think I'm lying or that Matt gave me his kidney, but every word is true. Even the coffee at this place is amazing! read more

I do not color my hair often because I've had a few bad experiences but I was lucky to find Matt. He got the exact shade and richness of the brown I wanted and my hair left his hands shiny and healthy. He is patient and professional and I would recommend him to anyone looking to color/cut their hair. read more

In the past Johnny the owner has been my colorist and I have absolutely loved my hair. Recently I made a big mistake and cheated on Johnny and went else where for a daring platinum blonde. I returned to Johnny for a color correction and my poor hair was so damaged that he was only willing to take me to a very boring muddy brunette (he actually never touched my hair that day he had one of his highly trained and qualified assistants do it). I understood that getting my natural blonde hair color back would take some time so I decided to be patient and let my hair grow out a little and return to Johnny when the quality of my hair was better. While I was giving my hair a rest I moved to Dallas. This past weekend I made an appointment with Johnny and even flew all the way from Texas just for him. However when I arrived at the salon, he was not willing to touch my hair because I was too difficult of a client and he recommended me to Matt. He said Matt's technique was better suited for my hair type and that he would be more gentle on my hair and overall give me better results. He promised that I was in good hands. Matt was able to fit me into his already busy schedule. My hair goals where not easy and I didn't think it was gonna be possible to leave the salon that day and actually love my hair. Matt spent quality time on my hair and really exceeded my expectations. I have thick hair and most of the time hair stylists don't spend enough time on my hair to achieve my actual hair goals. However, Matt spent all day making sure my hair was perfect. He is an artist and the color looks amazing and my hair feels healthier than when I arrived. He was very gentle but I still got the exact look I was hoping for even though it would take other colorists several appointments to achieve the same look. I am very pleased with my hair. I am perfectionist and expect only the best. I am a very picky difficult client but Matt gets an A++++ from me. read more

Balayage By Matt - Matt did an awesome job! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Obtaining a great balayage/blonde color when you start off with naturally super dark brown hair with reddish undertones is downright impossible! At least I thought it was until I met Matt!! He transformed my hair color years ago and somehow manages to only keep improving it over time. His talent is incorporable, his dedication, passion and constant quest for perfection is admirable and worthy of every praise. read more

I've been seeing Matt for my hair for almost 8 years. For all that time, I've had amazing color (of a variety of shades) and cannot recommend enough how well he'll take care of you. Your hair will glow from the inside with the depth of the color and the glory of the shine. I am complimented all the time on my hair, to which my standard response is "Well, Matt is a genius." Got to him. You will not be sorry. read more

Matt is great! I went to him a few months ago to change from brunette to blonde, and he did an amazing job. My hair looks so natural. He's incredibly talented, and kind. His work is art. read more

I'm usually very tentative about dying my hair or changing it general, but Matt is a magician when it comes to hair color. He corrects any color mistakes from previous dyes and can give you an entirely new, natural look that will make you love wearing your hair down everyday! Him and his assistants transform my hair into looking like I have constant natural, "beachy" highlights, and I love it!! The process takes some time to do, but he's great company to have and his finish product is worth the wait! I've gone to Matt several times, and I can't imagine ever changing my hair regimen now. read more

I have never written an online review of any kind. But then again, I have never had my hair done the way Matt did it. Over nearly 20 years living in LA, I have seen all the hair color superstars. Some are nice, some not so nice. Some are talented, some not all they're cracked up to be. But now that I have been to Matt, I don't imagine I will ever go to anyone else. He did a brilliant job and was a genuine pleasure to spend time with. Great energy - as those of us who have lived nearly 20 years in LA say. An artist and a gentleman. read more

Matt is seriously amazing. He is not only an amazing colorist but goes above and beyond to ensure you get the best experience at the salon. He is so personable, fun and amazing at his craft. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. read more

I had to write this review, because Matt is amazing. He is truly the best. So talented. Go see Matt and leave with a massive smile on your face and compliments from everyone who sees your new hair! read more

I am very picky with my hair and did a lot of research before choosing who I wanted to color it and I am so happy I chose Matt. I came in with hair that had been taken way too light and had grown out a ton and I wanted a natural looking balayage. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to achieve the exact look I wanted but it came out perfect! Matt is the first colorist who has been able to achieve the exact look I pictured in my head and I am so happy with the results. He is also very sweet and professional, as are his assistants. He pays excellent attention to detail and is honest about what he feels will work best for you and your lifestyle. I live in New York and know I won't be back in LA for a few months, so Matt took that into consideration and discussed with me what he wanted to do to ensure my color would still look great until my next visit. Overall it was a lovely experience and I can't wait to be back in a few months for my touch up. Thank you Matt! read more
