Julie Baribeau (she/her)

Lead Stylist

$160 per hour + HST

Reverie is a gratuity free salon. Your time includes a thorough and thoughtful consultation, guided styling, and product suggestions.

Julie specializes in low-maintenance hair - in particular, cutting with a straight razor to encourage natural texture, and require minimal styling. She also loves a good pixie cut, and exploring the sculptural side of hair cutting. She believes deeply in the transformational power of a haircut.

She began her career in a bustling salon in 2001, where she competed, won multiple awards, and earned the trust of many loyal clients. She became an independent stylist in 2009 and enjoyed the private studio environment for 12 years before deciding to open a studio to share with other stylists and creatives in 2022.

She has always been passionate about learning, continues to hone her craft, and enjoys teaching the art of razor cutting to other stylists. She has trained extensively with Jayne Matthews (@jayne_edosalon), as well as stylists/educators like Hauns Korpela, Tristen Morrison, Dominique LyVar, Keya Neal, Aeleise Ollarvia, Emily Chen, Conor James Doyle, and many more. She is certified by the Rëzo Academy (and will be fully certified by Cut It Kinky in May 2025), recognized for training stylists in all types of curls, coils, and waves. She has more educational endeavours to look forward to this year, as well as her own teaching engagements, and supporting the apprentices at the salon.

Stylist

Reverie is a gratuity free salon. Your time includes a thorough and thoughtful consultation, guided styling, and product suggestions.

A born and raised Guelph local, Emma began her career when she graduated from The Voila Institute of Hair Design in 2009. Her specialties include dimensional colours ranging from natural blondes to reds, brunettes, grey coverage and grey blending, lived-in highlights & balayage, precision cutting and restorative treatments for the hair and scalp. She understands, and loves working with finer hair types. Emma loves a good transformation, and creating haircuts that people feel great in.

Emma offers a holistic approach to haircare. She is an intuitive listener and passionate about digging deeper to help clients on their journey towards their best hair possible. This is what has led her to pursue a full certification as a Trichologist. (Trichology is a branch of dermatology specialized in the scientific study of the health of hair and scalp.)

Outside of her time at Reverie, Emma loves to rock climb, travel, cook new and interesting meals with her wife, thrift quirky treasures, and chat all things sustainability.  Emma is also very active in her community, raising awareness and gifting her time and services to those with less access to hair care through organizations like Stepping Stone.

Bryn McIlroy (she/they)

Apprentice Stylist

$65 per hour +HST

Reverie is a gratuity free salon. Your time includes a thorough and thoughtful consultation, guided styling, and product suggestions.

Bryn is one of Reverie’s talented apprentices. As an apprentice, they will be helping out with greeting clients, making them feel welcome and offering refreshments, taking some phone calls, helping out behind the scenes and behind the chair, adding a sprinkle of quiet spooky to the shop, and learning from the rest of the team. They are warm and deeply kind, and careful listeners and make every effort to ensure their guests feel cared for and heard. We look forward to supporting and watching them develop as a stylist.

Bryn graduated from Voila Institute in 2017, and has been in the beauty industry ever since. She worked at Sally Beauty, guiding clients there to the products they needed, and deepening her understanding of colour theory and creating vivid looks.

They love working on hair of all shades and textures, but her true passion lies in creative colours. Want to go purple? Green? Yellow?? Bryn is your person!

When she’s not at the studio, Bryn can be found curled up with her two senior cats (Kivi, the walking puffball mushroom, and Chloe, the shorthaired sweetheart), designing a future tattoo, or cooking up a storm (new recipes are always welcome!). They also love all things creepy and weird.
