A colourist first — with the cut to match.
Every appointment starts with a consultation: what you want, what your hair can handle today, and how it will look three months from now. Nothing is booked before that conversation happens.

- Long layers & shags
- Curtain bangs & fringe
- Curly and textured hair
- Trims between colour visits
Blowouts & styling

Pricing depends on hair length, density and where your colour is starting from — that is exactly what the free consultation is for. Send a photo on WhatsApp and Marc will quote you before you book.

About Marc David
One chair. One guest at a time.
Marc runs a private studio rather than a busy floor, which means your appointment is yours — no double-booking, no rushing you to the sink. Guests mention the small things as much as the hair: a proper consultation, a beverage, a comfortable robe, a face shield so toner never runs where it shouldn't.
He works with every hair type and texture, and he is straight with you about what is achievable in one visit versus what needs a plan. Healthy hair is the non-negotiable — the colour comes second.
Private studio · Across from the bayCommon questions
Before you book.
Where is the studio?
The studio is on the third floor at 190 Dunlop St E in Barrie, directly across the street from Kempenfelt Bay. There is paid street parking along Dunlop and municipal lots nearby.
How much does balayage or a colour service cost?
It depends on your hair length, density and where your colour is starting from — a single-process refresh and a full colour correction are very different jobs. That is what the free consultation is for. Send a photo of your hair and the look you want on WhatsApp and Marc will quote you before you commit to anything.
Do you do grey blending and grey coverage?
Yes — grey blending is one of the most requested services in the studio. Rather than fighting your greys with a hard root line every four weeks, blending works them into the colour so the grow-out looks intentional and you can comfortably go two to three months between visits instead of four weeks.
Do you work with curly and textured hair?
Yes. Curly, wavy and coily hair are all welcome, for cuts as well as colour. Bring your hair the way you normally wear it to the consultation so the shape can be cut to how it actually falls.
Are you taking new clients?
Yes, Marc is currently accepting new clients. The consultation is free and carries no obligation to book.
