Meet The Team
Salon blonDi is a booth rental salon comprised of a team of independent business owners offering a wide variety of salon services. Housed under our salon roof we have a host of small businesses who bring unique character and experience to our community.
Jennifer DiMatteo
Owner, Salon blonDi
Jennifer’s passion for hair began in 1995 at Schilling-Douglas School of Hair Design. She quickly immersed herself in the industry, starting as a shampoo assistant and working her way up. For 17 years, she honed her craft behind the chair, working for various salon owners before taking a bold leap in 2012— opening Salon blonDi. Since then, she’s never looked back, building a thriving space dedicated to luxury hair services and an exceptional client experience.
With certifications in Great Lengths, Hotheads, and Bellami Hair Extensions, Jennifer specializes in creating long, voluminous hair that enhances her clients’ confidence. She is committed to ongoing education, regularly attending advanced hair classes to stay ahead of trends—especially in lived-in blonding and modern highlighting techniques.
Outside the salon, Jennifer enjoys spending time with family, playing pickleball, and continuously finding inspiration to bring fresh ideas back to her clients.
