The Team

Five stylists. One philosophy.

Every member of A Hair Story is hand selected for their craft, their warmth, and the way they listen before they cut.

A Hair Story Salon was built on a simple idea. Hair is personal, and so is the person doing it. Our stylists each bring their own specialty, their own clients, their own following. Together they are the reason our chairs stay full and our regulars keep coming back. Meet them below.

Amanda Matos

Owner
SpecialtyColor & Cutting
Years20
Known forBuilding Trust

Amanda founded A Hair Story because she believed Fall River deserved a salon that felt as considered as the work happening in it. Twenty years behind the chair, she leads with the same instinct she did on day one, listen first, then create. Her clients stay with her for years because she earns that trust one appointment at a time, in the cut, in the color, and in the conversation in between.

Years19
Known forListening

Nineteen years in, Tara's craft has settled into color, hand-placed highlights, and smoothing treatments that her clients book months out for. Dimensional, never overdone. She listens before she lifts, and her clients leave feeling brighter without ever looking like they tried too hard.

Fifteen years behind the chair has made Debbie quick, decisive, and consistently good. She reads a color the moment she sees it, mixes accordingly, and gets to the result without dragging the appointment out.
