Matt Palafox-Eblen
Matt graduated cosmetology school in the Fall of 2023 when he opened his own salon suite to take in clients in Farragut. After being on his own for six months he decided he wanted the comradery of fellow stylists and greater opportunity to grow his clientele. He toured several salons but fell in love with the supportive environment and opportunity for growth at hairpeace. When not at work, you can find Matt taking care of the animals on his farm with his husband, Travis.
Matt finds his joy behind the chair doing haircuts, ranging from pixie cuts, to long layered cuts, and also enjoys doing men’s cuts. He says there’s not a haircut he doesn’t like doing, and really finds his joy getting lost in the freedom of cutting hair. He feels a good haircut has the power to transform a client into the best version of themselves.
Matt also offers an array of coloring services, creative colors included. In 2023 he trained in non-surgical hair replacements and now has his NSG certification. He is excited about the prospect of bringing that service to hairpeace.
A standout moment in his career was when a client brought her daughter to him for a haircut. The client loved her specialized “wolf cut” so much that she’s planning on flying from Florida specifically to get her hair cut by him again.
