Meet Mathieu …
Hailing from Louisiana, by way of Florida, Mathieu is no stranger to authentic sun-kissed hair with a rock-and-roll vibe. With his signature “Super-Natural” lived-in hair coloring technique, he can create those sun kissed jet setter hues that enhance your curls or frame out your smooth locks. Mathieu has a gift for listening to what the hair wants and enjoys working with all hair types and textures. He also specializes in extensions; adding believable-looking length, volume and dimension to the hair with seamless customized hairpieces. By combining new technology with Old World techniques passed down from his Nonna’s master wig making business, Mathieu’s heart sings when he’s able to share his 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 fuel inspiration for his work at the Maison. He believes in connecting with his clients on a personal level and will leave you refreshed and confident long after your time together ends.
Founding Maison Saint Maur is the culmination of 16 years of solo practice in beauty business, salon education, and adventure in his craft. Experiences always lead to the expansion of creativity.
Tenets de Maison
Mystery + Glamour
“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, 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 is what reminds Mathieu that everything has it’s season, and that seasons always come around again.
“This man knows what he’s doing and he’s damn good at it. He’s just delightful to be around.”
