Why Don’t We Do MORE?
Mathieu de St. Maur is no stranger to the root of what we all desire: a healthy head of hair, a relaxed and balanced scalp, glossy locks and density retention. With this in mind, the Maison only offers the basic necessities: Scalp and Hair Care, Haircut Designs, and Hair Coloring.
Our signature service is our “Super-Natural” lived-in hair coloring technique: creating sun kissed multi-dimensional jet setter hues to enhance your curls or frame out your smooth locks in a naturally enchanted way. Possessing a gift for “listening” to what the hair wants, Mathieu enjoys working with all hair types and textures. A strong and healthy foundation is paramount to beautiful hair, as well as learning the reasons why a simple prescriptive routine is always best. Mathieu’s heart sings when he’s able to share his scalp and hair care techniques and skills, delighting in that “this is my dream hair” moment with his clients. Impassioned about giallo films, travel and the arcane, his world journeys and pop-culture adventures have always fueled inspiration for his work at the Maison. He believes in connecting with his clients on a personal level to build trust first and style second: his goal is to leave you refreshed and confident in the long term foundational health of your hair long after your time together ends.
Founding Maison Saint Maur is the culmination of 22 years of solo practice in beauty business, salon education, and adventure in his craft.

“She has a fiery soul that cannot be tamed. She has a free spirit that cannot be maimed. She moves with the wind and flows with the river.” Giallo is the Italian term designating mystery fiction and thrillers, and it is this genre of film that first inspired Matthew to cultivate his version of sovereign beauty. Medieval fantasy, 1960's and 70’s pop culture, specifically with supernatural elements, and the “mystical princess” archetype are his innermost muses.
Food + Alchemistry
It all begins with an intention. Raised as a 2nd generation Italian-American, Mathieu’s earliest memories are in the kitchen - and it has always been and continues to be the most important and sacred room for him. His kitchen is a laboratory for creation, as preparing food for others is an act of healing chemistry. Mathieu extends his passion of caring for others into the very fabric of the Maison, where the chemistry of his creations are palpable vision come to life …
Goetia + Theurgy
Solo adventures are necessary to recharge the spirit, calm the mind, and reconnect with the self. If you can’t date yourself, who can you connect with truly? The smell of old books, the allure of that perfectly preserved piece of handcrafted furniture, the stillness one finds when surrounded by a sea of strangers; this sense of nostalgia and inward personal transcendence is what reminds Mathieu that everything has it’s season, and seasons come and go to return again.
“This man knows what he’s doing and he’s damn good at it. He’s just delightful to be around.”
