Julien Farel Salon
It is no surprise that the elite of Manhattan flock to the Julien Farel Salon. Located in midtown on Madison , the salon attracts a chic clientele. Think Prada, Hermes, Valentino–Farel’s style is classic with a twist of fashion.
Farel designed the salon to revolve around feng shui, an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics believed to use the laws of both Heaven (astronomy) and Earth (geography) to help one improve life by receiving positive qi. Clients come to the salon for more than just services but for the energy that permeates throughout the space.
The Julien Farel salon is such a destination that clients will fly halfway across the world in their private jets just for a haircut. It’s all about consistency, customer service and making the customer feel beautiful and comfortable. Farel’s technique is very special–he cuts with such precision that after 2 and a half months, I still didn’t need a haircut. My hair grew out evenly with texture and form even though usually, I would need to get a haircut every 6 weeks.

He works like an architect to create masterpiece haircuts that are timeless, combining geometry with fashion and style. It is no surprise that the most stylish celebrities are regular clients of the salon–fashion icon Kate Moss, Audrey Tatou, and Ivanka Trump have been spotted here. Farel says that he believes luxury is something where somebody does everything for you and all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the experience. There is no waiting and no detail left unattended. Whatever you need, it is taken care of. His philosophy is to do everything with your heart.
“The new generation wants the money first, but life is not about money. It’s about doing something for the experience and making the client want to come back,” says Farel. He plans to keep building the brand and expand into luxury hotels. Recently, he launched a location in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and plans to develop salons in five other countries.
“The world belongs to the people–whatever you touch, be the best,” says Farel. With his precision and meticulous detail Farel has a style that is clean, simple and chic. He doesn’t try to compete, but strives to create a product that is so outstanding that clients come to him. “If you are not interesting, don’t bother. If you work with your heart, it shows. If you do something for the money, it shows too. There is way too much competition.”
