The contest began when Matrix invited stylists from across the nation to enter and express their creativity using styling's universal muse…mannequin heads. Voting ran from September 15 to October 31 and was open to all US residents 18 and older, and votes were accepted via MannequinMania.com and via a personalized text message code (one for each finalist).

Maytix traveled to each winner's salon to surprise them with the news of their Matrix Mannequin Mania Master victory. Each of the winners will receive a day with the star of Bravo's hit series Tabatha's Salon Take Over and Matrix Mannequin Mania celebrity judge Tabatha Coffey, $25,000 and Matrix product.
