Hey darlin! There are quite a few new eyes on this space. I would like to continue to introduce myself. 🥺🥰 I’m Matty and I am a Brooklyn based NYC hairstylist and colorist. My intention behind the chair is to center YOU. I am interested in how people choose to be seen AND felt. I aim to pick up on your natural edge and bring it forward. I create work that resists simplification. My work lives in the spaces where punk can coexist with romance. My chair is exactly where we put petals to the metal. 🌹⛓️ You can find me at @kinetic.nyc in Bushwick Brooklyn on Wednesdays and Fridays and @lolashairclub in Sunset Park on Thursdays ✨ my DM’s are always open and my booking links are in my bio. 💙 #BrooklynHair

haircut 4 the bday gal @kiahmckirnan <3 should have gotten a before but we reshaped, detoxed with @malibucpro undogoo & deep conditioned with @agcare1989 moisture (detoxing is essential on curly hair bc product build up & u want to reset the hair fibers so they can take in as much moisture as possible) then brush styled mids to ends (to keep root volume) using a denman & @thedouxsalon texture mousse. link in bio to book <3

Loved how Christie knew exactly what style was gonna make her hair pop after we took out her extensions :))
BUT! It’s also okay if you don’t know what kind of cut will feel good on you, let’s figure it out together!! Booking link in bio ;)

You can’t compare prices from 20 years ago without talking about the change in how we do hair present day.

Not only are we using more product & taking more time, the expectations for synthetic results quickly with little to no maintenance doesn’t have any base in reality. If a hairstylist is saying they can get you there for cheap they’re either not telling you the truth, not making a living, or working at such a pace that burn out is just around the corner.

You can have hair fast, good or cheap. Pick 2.

Fast + Good = Expensive
Fast + Cheap = Low Quality/Bad
Good + Cheap = Slow

Are we like…hanging out? 👉🏻👈🏻
When you’re charging for time, making that time enjoyable is my top priority! We like…might be here a while, babe. So I’ll ask you about “the wife and kids,” your fav show right now, or if you wanna silently work or watch TikToks, that’s also totally cool. This is your time as much as mine, we can both disassociate as a little treat. 😎

Haircut for Aaila ✨

They had a grown out mullet before and wanted their sides shaved with baby bangs. During their haircut I suggested adding some fang bangs and side burn bits - to match their already sick style 🔥

Thank you for letting me customize your character!

My books are open for October. Booking 🔗 in bio

I said it.

There has been SO much dialogue lately on social media about hairstylist/salon pricing & policies etc.

My thoughts, for those who want to hear 😆:

The growth of technology & access to information + direct communication has deeply impacted & is changing our industry.

Now anyone can be an expert. Rather than following the process & building trust in the chair, I’m seeing clients bring us formulas, AI consultations or expecting instant gratification. I do not blame the client for this. This is our world evolving. However, I do believe there is a way in which we can manage this new world so that trust with the client can be built and it starts with us.

What’s the answer?

For me, its clarity on the expectations of my business, setting firm boundaries and strictly enforcing policies. It’s something I teach & expect the team @kinetic.nyc to uphold as well.

✨Quoting & Charging for time instead of service + removing gratuity - it’s a clear rate that removes any sort of miscommunication on price.
✨ No front desk. You speak directly with me, or your stylist. There is no middle man.
✨Firm Cancellation, No Show & No Refund Policies
✨Firm Business Hours

and the most important of all,

✨✨The right & encouragement to say NO to a client when we do not think it’s a good fit <<< and absolutely welcomed for a client to tell us no too! Not feeling it?? No hard feelings! Let’s end this BEFORE it gets weird.

This might stir some feathers. You might run your business differently. This is how I keep from burn out & how I educate others stylists on how to avoid burnout too.

It’s impossible to please everyone. Stylists, find the clients that are for YOU. Clients, shop around, GO GET IN PERSON CONSULTATIONS, get to know your stylists & stop asking the internet what to do.

Thanks for listening, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments 😘
