Esther is the best! Not only are her haircuts amazing but she’s a wonderful human being and I love to go get my haircut and catch up with her. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair, and I always get compliments for my haircut!

Been a customer for over 4 and a half years and never had a bad haircut in this place. Great service, very friendly and fast on point service. I have straight thick hair and it's very difficult to handle. Tried 4 different places before settling down with this one. Esther (owner) is a great hairdresser and manage the barbershop very well, always improving in the place looks and customer service. I dont think I would change this place for anything

I've been taking my kids and husband here for the last five years. We just happens to run into this little gem by accident, a accident I'm rather happy we did. It's a small cozy barbershop with a constant flow of clientele but with the mom and pop feel,where all of the employees know your name and what you prefer. Most of the employees speak both English and Spanish fluently but Spanish is primarily the language spoken. Their prices are very responsible ranging from $11 for a regular hair cut and $14 for a skin fade. They take walk-ins and there's never more then a 10 minute wait even on their busiest days.

Best haircut in town, and we've tried quite a few other places! I brought my 5 year old boy in as a walk in, and they seated us immediately and gave him exactly the haircut we wanted. Super sweet owners and staff, definitely will be our new spot! Highly recommend!

My stylist “Demares” was great! “Demares” was very professional, and knew from experience what I wanted in my haircut and shave. “Demares” took very good care of me and it was highly appreciated! The shave was perfect! Demares is a great example of the quality care Matuz barbershop excells in!

Built on legacy.
Trusted by the community.

For over 12 years, Matuz Barber Shop has been more than a place for a haircut, it's been a place for generations.

OUR STORY

Matuz Barber Shop was born from the legacy of Leonel and Rafael Contreras, barbers from a generation that truly loved their craft. For decades, they worked with passion, discipline, and a level of commitment that is hard to find today.

For them, barbering was not just a job… it was family.

They created classic haircuts that are rarely seen today, representing the true essence of the trade. Through their example, many of us learned not only how to cut hair, but also how to respect and value this profession.

As the saying goes, “What is well learned is never forgotten.”

Today, we proudly continue their legacy, maintaining the same quality, professionalism, and personal touch that makes every client feel at home.
