Matter Of Instinct Studio

Layrite Pomades - available in our shop💈

From clean classics to textured styles, Layrite has a formula for every look. Water-based, easy to wash out, and barber-trusted.

Here’s what we carry:

🔵 Natural Matte Cream
Lightweight, low-shine, soft hold. Great for casual, looser styles that still need shape.

⚫️ Cement Clay
Matte finish with serious hold. For volume, texture, and styles that don’t move.

🔴 Supershine Cream
High shine with a smooth finish. Perfect for sleek, polished styles with soft control and zero crunch

🟡 Original Pomade
Medium hold, medium shine. Perfect for slick backs and side parts — clean and flexible all day.

🟠 Superhold Pomade
Stronger hold for thick or stubborn hair. Same clean finish, just more control.

Ask your barber for a recommendation — or grab your favorite at the front desk after your cut.

Have you ever seen an eagle decapitate a fish, swallow it’s head whole and then slurp down the rest? Such skilled precision! Such brutal strength! Definitely a master of the in flight meal. Glad I’m not a fish.
