A big change for @matteoj07 who hadn’t cut his hair in ages. A former pro soccer player from who’s spending his time coaching at Seton Hall now, and when he’s not, he’s keeping up with 3 kids. Long hair looked good man - but this suits you too. Thanks for letting me chop it.

@jonnykillpack is from my home town (basically). He now lives in Boston where he designs shoes. He studied design and has always wanted to design shoes. He worked hard and was patient, and was ultimately hired to design for Reebok. If you do CrossFit, or train in Reebok, you probably wear his shoes. If you are @jjwatt you definitely wear his shoes. Awesome dude, doing really cool things. #daviscountyutah (at Martial Vivot Salon Pour Hommes) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpvWimlhxv-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10eq4xgmoomly

A lot of matching. V festive. Congrats @ben on your wedding this weekend to @elizabeth. And congrats to @carterrthompson on your wedding too... 👪 https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfjbzMByUp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1des4pniihqog

After I did this cut on Artem, I realized that I really didn’t know how to do a cut like this very confidently a year ago. A haircut that looks neat - but a month old or something. Always been hard for me. Thanks to everyone for teaching me to like scissors.

I started working at @martialvivot on October 2nd last year (over a year now). Our family moved to New York October 1st of 2013 (over 5 years now). A lot of dreams have come true in that time. Lots. Consider this an in-person THANKS 🤝 to everybody that’s been a part/is a part of my life here. Clients, Chinese bakeries, friends, family, coworkers, Sunset Park Diner & Donuts, neighbors, deli guy, MTA - I love you all. Thx for the support.💞💓💗💖💘this is not an announcement that we are moving. 📸 @marcycontax (at Martial Vivot Salon Pour Hommes) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoxojQrBXyl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ikyxb7joj6j1

@normanbrannon is a musician, a writer, a historian, a dog Dad, a real estate broker, and a reality tv fan. He told me a few years back that he wants his hair to look as “unnatural as possible”. He loves the shine and the volume and the lines and some skin showing on the sides. It suits him.

@papatimtim dropped in for a cut during a visit to The Little Island from The Big Island. He’s showing us all what we’re doing wrong, cause he up and moved to Hawaii about 6 years ago, and is just chilling. Timmy coming in was a nice little reminder that Instagram is cool. Cool cause it keeps you in touch with people you would normally have a hard time keeping in touch with. @papatimtim and I grew up in the same town, and I always thought he was rad. We had 7th grade English together, and maybe other classes at some point, and he would always wear punk band tees and I pretended like I listened to those bands too so that he’d think I was cool. But I don’t think we have seen each other in at least 10 yrs, maybe longer. Next cut will be at your place 🤙 #jinglinjoe (at Martial Vivot Salon Pour Hommes) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn-DFzZhz9T/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13wo2aj6ny2ge

@seanbfeeney makes no sense. 2 1/2 years ago i met him during our wedding anniversary dinner at his restaurant @lilianewyork. At that time he had one kid, a full time job in finance, and then after work he would go straight to the restaurant until closing. Fast forward. Now days, he still has a full time job in finance, three kids (@mariafeeney with twins🙌), he checks in on the overbooked restaurant every night, and now he and @missyarobbins have just opened their second restaurant... @misinewyork. There aren’t enough hours in the day for all that to work. Your math doesn’t add up Sean. But you are obviously surrounded by good people, you are sleep deficient and you love what you do. Keep going. #4amclub (at Martial Vivot Salon Pour Hommes) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnpmSjEHV9l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v1ucwbbdflzi

Found these unpublished videos on @michellegwalker’s phone. Rudy decided to write some songs about “picnics with babies”... and “rockstars who sing about dinosaurs”. Seeking a label. Lmk.

@alishussain has thick straight hair. Long enough to bend. Short enough to not be claustrophobic... and to not need another cut for 2-3 months if he don’t want to. (at Martial Vivot Salon Pour Hommes)

Rudiger took his training wheels off the other day. Huge day for any kid. Made me cry a bit. He’s a slow and steady kinda guy when he’s learning new stuff - it’s best not to rush him. I’m learning that about him. Slowly. I respect it. It means he doesn’t get hurt too much. Very methodical and cautious, but definitely competitive enough to push himself to get it. He did have a little spill, the normal bike riding kind, and then he took a sec, wanted some space, then kept riding. Sounds cheesy, but I’m really proud and happy he is figuring all this stuff out in his own way. And glad I have an iPhone to over-document everything. My bad. (at Bush Terminal Waterfront Park)

@mattdhyatt is a Va. USA native, used to live in NYC, but now living in France. He’s lived all over the place and somehow finds waves to surf wherever he goes. He travels quite a bit for his work, so luckily we get catch up over haircuts when he’s around. He’s smooth and cool. His hair is coarse and wavy. Great combo. (at Martial Vivot Salon Pour Hommes)

@xbrandonx visits NYC all the time from Indianapolis. All the time. He’s the owner of @brickandmortarusa Barbershop and is working up another shop as we speak. He’s lost a little hair (age and entrepreneurship probably) since the first time I cut him, but he’s gained some tattoos. He usually plans his trips around his tattoo appointments. He’s gonna be totally covered with only Brooklyn tattoos pretty soon. Just a couple more trips. •check out @heycooltattoo for a vid look at the artwork• (at Martial Vivot Salon Pour Hommes)

Gonna give the legs a little break. Taking a vacation till next Thursday. Sorry for the inconvenience... I know all of you are trying to look hot for summer, so book with the shop ASAP for next week if you need it. (at New York, New York)
