Grace has been my hairstylist for almost a decade, and I truly adore her--not just for her…read moreincredible skills, but also for her beautiful heart. She's always been just a 5-minute drive from my place. Today, I decided to follow Grace from Fort Mill to her new salon, Salon 131, in lovely downtown Matthews. (Of course, I had to follow Grace! She's a treasure.) The drive was a quick 30 minutes from Fort Mill, and the salon is nestled right in the heart of downtown Matthews. It's right next to a café and surrounded by restaurants and local shops. I'm already excited to explore the area more when I visit next. The salon itself was welcoming and spacious, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Today, Grace gave me the works--full highlights and a haircut! I left feeling so cute, lighter, and like I'd turned back the clock ten years. Grace is such a genuine, kind, and down-to-earth person. She really listens and knows exactly what my hair needs. Plus, she cares deeply about me and my family. As a 55-year-old with fine, thinning hair, I'm very picky about hairstylists. I want someone who listens but who also knows the latest styles and trends. With Grace, I get all that and more. She interprets my aesthetic desires with skill and artistry, creating something truly beautiful, current, and elegant.

Mary Moore has the Magic touch!…read more Mary owned a successful salon in Vermont before she moved south to Charlotte, worked in a few salons and finally opened one of her own. I've pretty much been a client from the start. Most recently, I asked Mary to cut my thick wavy hair into a chic short style. That was last summer. I get compliments on my hair all the time, yesterday from a waitress in Matthews, today from a professional financial planner. I've found less expensive salons, but never quite come out with the wow I get from Monte Bella Salon.

I had a very disappointing and unprofessional experience at this salon. After receiving haircuts…read morefor myself and my daughter, the salon later attempted to retroactively charge us more because of our hair type--something they were fully aware of before the appointment. I had even provided photos of my daughter's hair in advance, so there was no surprise or misunderstanding. Further, the "master" stylist was very rude and accusatory when he approached me about retroactively charging us. Mind you he was the one I showed the pictures to, as well as the one who submitted the payment slips to the young women at the front desk. Changing prices after the fact is unfair and unacceptable. It also raises serious concerns about discriminatory pricing practices. Customers deserve transparency and honesty, not hidden or after-the-fact charges. I would not recommend this salon to anyone who values professionalism, fairness, and respect.

You can tell that she truly enjoys her craft of hair cutting, coloring, and styling. I was very happy with my end result. I got a hair cut and partial highlights. I was especially happy that my hair was still soft shiny and manageable afterwards. After the previous person that did my all over highlights my hair was dry, brittle and damaged and it took a month of at-home conditioning treatments to fix it. Not so after leaving Studio B! So thank you Nicole for a great experience and a fabulous result and I'll see you again for my next cut and color.
