Extensions

More length. More volume. Just really good hair that happens to be yours now.

The Hair You've Been Wishing For? Let's Make It Real.

If you've ever looked in the mirror and thought 'I just wish there was more'—we hear you. Whether you want length that finally hits your goals or volume that actually holds a style, our extension specialists will make it happen. And the important part? Nobody will be able to tell. It'll just look like really, really good hair.

Nada, Nancy and Ariel are the extension team at Matson & Co., and they specialize in the kind of hair most salons struggle with—fine, thin, and delicate. If you've been told extensions won't work for you, or you had a bad experience somewhere else, this is the place to try again. We'll be honest about what's possible and gentle with your hair. Always.

How It Works

  • Come in, sit down, no pressure. We'll look at your hair, talk about what you want, and figure out the best method. It's free and there's absolutely no obligation to commit on the spot.

  • We hand-select and blend your extensions to match your exact shade and tone. Seamless is the goal—no one should spot where your hair ends and the extensions begin.

  • Once your extensions are ordered and prepped, we'll book your appointment. Most installs run 2–3 hours depending on what you're getting.

  • Your stylist applies each extension by hand for a natural blend. You leave with your new hair, a care routine, and—if you're like most of our clients—a big smile.
