Mattison Magnified - Meet Colleen with Colorful Cuts

We want to introduce Colleen at Mattison Ave in Richardson, Texas. We loved learning more about her, why she got into doing hair, and what makes her salon suite such a special place for her and her clients!

Colleen, the owner of Colorful Cuts by Colleen, has built her salon suite at Mattison Avenue into more than just a hair studio—it’s a safe, welcoming space where clients can express their true selves. With over a decade of experience in the hair industry, Colleen specializes in vivid colors, fantasy hair, and bold transformations that help her clients feel confident and empowered.

Her journey started at Super Cuts, where she gained foundational skills, followed by an apprenticeship under a seasoned stylist who shaped her expertise in color formulation, Brazilian Blowouts, and keratin treatments. Working at Floyd’s 99 Barber Shop further refined her men’s haircutting skills and allowed her to cultivate her passion for fashion colors.

However, it was the desire to create a fully personalized experience that led Colleen to open her own salon suite. At Mattison Avenue, she has crafted an environment that is fun, creative, relaxing, and judgment-free. Her private suite provides clients with one-on-one attention, allowing them to feel at ease, whether they’re in pajamas or dressing up for a transformation.

One of Colleen’s biggest passions is supporting the LGBTQ+ community by offering a space where people feel safe and affirmed in their identity. Her salon is registered on Queer Space and Strands for Trans, making it easy for those seeking inclusive salon services to find a welcoming stylist.

Beyond the artistry of hair, Colleen believes in the therapeutic power of a great haircut. Her philosophy is rooted in the idea that hair is a form of self-expression and healing. Whether someone is looking for a rainbow transformation, a bold new cut, or a color refresh, she ensures they leave feeling like the best version of themselves.
