Extensive Experience: I have spent more than 25 years in Paris, London, Minneapolis, and Chicago perfecting my hair color and styling skills. For the past 15 years, I managed the Vidal Sassoon Salon, where I was also the master colorist. I have loved working with so many beautiful, interesting, and discerning clients; I look forward to putting my experience to work for you.
Thoughtful Approach: I sincerely care about what you want for your total hair look. A great cut should complement the structure of your face, the length of your neck, and the lifestyle you lead. The right color will brighten your appearance, fit your aesthetic, and make you feel more “you.” Tell me your hair objectives and let’s make them happen together!
Technical Knowledge: A good cut is easy to manage and suits your individual hair texture. Trained in the classic Vidal Sassoon method, each cut is carefully considered to optimize your best look and simplify your hair care routine. Color is a science and also my specialty. Whether you want to cover grey, experiment with a new tone, or try something wild, I will help you get there with healthy hair.
“It took years to find the right colorist when I wanted to cover my grey. Julien understands the subtle aspects of color, lowlights, etc, even when it comes to hard-to-achieve red. The results are consistent, natural looking, and healthy hair. I get compliments about my color frequently, thanks to his expertise.” Nancy Baker
Julien’s experience shows in the efficiency and accuracy of his cuts. He’s talented and knowledgeable and has always made my beard look great, too!” Hal Barnett
“I only trust Julien. For six years, he has advised me on what is best -- in terms of cut, color, and care -- for my fine hair. He really listens and is honest about the results you can expect; he will never steer you in a direction that damages your hair. His advice about hair care products is spot on. It’s always a pleasure to see Julien as he is equally charming as he is talented and professional.” Isabelle Epskamp
I've been a devoted client for many years and have nothing but the highest regard for Julien's expertise and professionalism. Congratulations on your new venture, Julien!
I’ve been a client of Julien for many years. He is an expert and truly understands the importance of your skin tone when selecting color; he never disappoints. I have very course hair with grey that is hard to cover, his technique is what makes my hair turn our perfect every time! Stacci B.
Classic understated eloquence. Every time!
I have been a client of Julien for over a decade. He is a very talented stylist and colorist and his standard of excellence is bar none. I am fortunate to have found him. ——Azisti Dembowski
I've been seeing Julien for highlights for 6 years. His talent and expertise are unmatchable. He also uses the best products that are gentle on hair. Simply the best!
Blended grays with partial highlights, looks so natural, you are the best!
I entrusted Julien with a drastic change from middle length to extreme short cut, and have never regretted it. Not only I love my new style, I also appreciate his expertise and patience guiding me through making a decision and choosing the right cut. Not to mention he is a pleasure to deal with, which makes the whole experience quite enjoyable.
Best color I've EVER had !!! Haircuts grow out so lovely!
