Hair Salon Near Summerland, CA
Fifteen minutes up the coast, and completely worth the drive. Matson & Co. is where Summerland residents come for hair that feels as easy and natural as their hometown.
Small Town Loyalty, Big Time Results
Summerland is the kind of place where people know their neighbors, their barista, and their hairstylist by name. That’s exactly the kind of relationship we build at Matson & Co. Some of our most loyal clients live in Summerland. A few of them have been with Jeff and Nada since before Matson & Co. even existed. They followed them to the new salon in 2017 and haven’t looked back.
Summerland’s Favorite Services
Haircuts That Last:
You don’t want to think about your hair every day. You want a cut that holds its shape, works with the salt air, and still looks good when you roll out of bed. That’s what we do.
Low Maintenance Color:
Summerland clients tend to go for color that doesn’t need constant upkeep. Think balayage, soft highlights, and root smudges that grow out gracefully instead of leaving a hard line at week four.
Extensions for Thin Hair:
The beach life can take a toll. Nada and Ariel give fine haired Summerland clients the volume and length they’re missing, with methods that are gentle enough for delicate strands.
Smoothing Treatments:
Humidity and ocean breeze are great for the soul, tough on the hair. A smoothing treatment makes mornings easier and keeps frizz under control all season long.
Curly and Wavy Hair:
Living by the ocean means living with texture. Erin Olson is our curl specialist who actually understands how to cut and style wavy and curly hair so it thrives in the coastal air instead of fighting it.

Ariel always gives me the best cuts. I have a ton of hair and my main goal it to have it thinned. I had to get a lot of bad cuts in this town before I found Ariel. She not only can thin my hair out, but it looks cut too.

The ambience is sleek yet welcoming and the stylists are professional, talented, and friendly without being obtrusive. The quality of my color gets rave reviews from all my very fussy friends, many of whom now book at Matson & Co, too.

Jeff and Ariel are both amazing. I am a middle aged woman with a pixie cut and constantly I get compliments on my hair.
