Matthew Bevan started doing hair when he was just a boy of 6 years old but started his professional career at Paul Mitchell The School, San Diego 11 years ago where he was educated in cutting and color by the brand’s national educators. Upon completion he moved to New York City and apprenticed under the best colorists and master stylists of the time at two salons on Fifth Avenue. He brought his skills back to the central coast, where he was born and raised, and continues his education to stay on trend at The Sassoon Academy in Beverly Hills and through the Goldwell Academy in New York City.
