Matteo Barbari

Senior Barber — 4 years Italy, 1 year Prague, 1 year Dublin

Obsessed with hair since childhood, Matteo cut his grandad's hair for fun at eight and enrolled in hairdresser school in Italy at fourteen. After cutting in Italy, Prague, and Dublin, Ji texted him about Sonder and he saw a big opportunity — not just a nice shop, but a culture and mindset worth being part of. His layering on long, natural styles is world-class.
