Jayne Matthews

Jayne Matthews is a razor-cutting educator and co-owner of Edo Salon & Gallery who teaches stylists how to create haircuts that feel like the client, not a template. Their specialty lives in the details: cheekbone-skimming face frames, “organic” shags, and romantic layers that move with natural texture and look better as they grow out.

Their origin story reads like a punk-to-polish setlist. Growing up without much money, Jayne started cutting their own hair as a kid to make a fashion statement, then turned that self-taught instinct into a career behind the chair. After five years working independently, they co-opened Edo in 1998, and built a reputation for free-hand razor work that’s been recognized beyond the industry.

Today, Jayne focuses full-time on education, teaching stylists around the world through in-person tours, live virtual classes, and online courses that break razor cutting down into clear, repeatable shapes. If you want haircutting that’s modern, wearable, and unapologetically human, training with Jayne is a strong next move.
