Julian.Marc.Salon — a precision-cutting and organic-colour salon in the ByWard Market

Julian.Marc is a luxury hair salon in the ByWard Market, opened in 2008 by Julian Tagliavento, who began under Ray Civello and trained through Vidal Sassoon, Toni & Guy, Aveda, Davines and others, including Davines’ international colour programme. That pedigree shows in two obsessions: precision cutting and custom, sustainably minded colour.

Services

The work is focused rather than sprawling — precision and creative cuts for women and men, curly and textured cutting, custom colour from natural coverage to dimensional highlighting and balayage, glossing and toning, and blow-dry finishing. A consultation leads every colour service so the result suits the hair and the person wearing it.

Technology and brands

Julian.Marc works with organic, low-impact professional lines, notably Oway (Organic Way) across shampoo, conditioner, treatments, styling and a men’s range — naturally derived, sustainably packaged products. Colour is custom-mixed per client, lightening is kept in condition, and tools are cleaned between guests.

Team and stylists

Julian Tagliavento leads as director, with a team including Louise Arzpayma, Assana McDonald, Quentin Piters — a curly-texture specialist with years of Paris salon experience — Jessica Tate, and salon co-ordinator Kira Goodger; several are French-speaking. Weekly in-house classes keep technique current across the whole team rather than in one chair.

The Space

The salon sits in the ByWard Market and carries itself as an upscale, considered room to match its precision-and-organic ethos. It is walkable from downtown offices, condos and hotels, a retail area lets clients continue the Oway regimen at home, and a loyalty programme rewards regulars.

Who it’s for

Clients who want a precise, architectural haircut; anyone who prefers organic, sustainably minded colour and care; French-speaking clients who want service in their language; and Market, downtown and visiting clients looking for an established, education-led salon.
