Meet Julien
Trained in Lyon. Rooted in Houston.
I trained in Lyon in the early nineties, cut in London for a decade, and came home to Houston in 2006. I have cut in the same atelier ever since.
I cut men’s, women’s and everything in between with the same discipline: structure first, then softness. My appointments run long on purpose. I would rather do one cut beautifully than three quickly.

Kind words from the chair
Julien looked at my hair for five minutes before he touched it. Best cut of my life.
The only person in Houston I trust with a scissor taper.
My restructure grew out perfectly for three months.
