Meet Your Stylist
Meet mateo
Co-Owner & Stylist
Mateo is a Spokane native and is happy to call it home. In his free time he loves to work out, drink coffee, drive around in his little sports car, listen to podcasts, hike & hunt the PNW, and play with his dog Millie.
Mateo is the embodiment of the word Rogue.
One who follows their own rules; one who lives out of the ordinary; one who behaves in ways that are unexpected.
He is the product of the classic “construction worker turned hair stylist”. Oh wait, that’s not a thing?! Mateo knew he didn't want to work construction forever but it wasn't until he watched a show called “Blowout”, about a guy who was a hairdresser in Hollywood, that he realized his new path. He began his journey in 2006 at a local salon where he trained in depth to learn the fundamentals of proper hair cutting, coloring and the perfect consultation.
passions
Mateo continues to seek advanced education opportunities as well as teaches other stylists as a Gold Key Educator for Kevin Murphy. Working as an educator has allowed him to perfect his styling skills and continue to learn new styles seasonally. This background helps support his passion for set work on photo and video shoots locally.
specialities
Mateo specializes in balayage, color melting and soft transition color. His promise to all his clients, whether it be their first time in or their 500th, is to openly and clearly communicate at the beginning of the appointment and deliver the best results possible every single time.
