 Kristin “Matti” York graduated from Creative Images Cosmetology School in 2006. She couldn’t wait to start working at Michael’s Salon. Matti pursued a career at Michael’s because she wanted to continue learning after obtaining her cosmetology license and work for a salon where she saw a future.

She has always wanted to be a hairdresser and says she has never thought about doing anything else. One of her favorite services is specialized styles, so if course she enjoys working with wedding parties and loves prom season.  It goes without saying that Matt is definitely a people person. She goes above and beyond to make her clients happy.  

“A happy client is the best feeling in the world” says Matti. “I feel like I’ve accomplished something wonderful if I can make someone’s day a little better. I know when I get a new hairstyle; I look better and feel like I can conquer anything. I love that I can make my clients feel that way too.” And, Matti does just that. She makes her clients feel great and they absolutely love her.

In February, Matti was awarded the Michael’s Salon 2010 Rising Star Award. Her client base and service revenues grew over 100 % from the previous year.

Besides building a solid clientele, Matti believes that one of the most important things to be a successful hair designer is to be a great listener. She says “Listening to your client is important to accomplishing the look they are going for. If you can give them that, they will leave your chair looking great and feeling happy.”
