Clean, Precise Men’s Haircuts in the Northeast Kingdom
A good men’s haircut should not require a lengthy explanation or a second visit to fix. If you are looking for men’s haircuts in North Troy, VT that are clean, precise, and done by someone who knows what they are doing, Journey’s Salon & Guest House at 316 N Pleasant St is worth calling.
Julie Marckres has over 40 years of experience behind the chair and a reputation built on getting it right the first time. Her private, appointment-only salon is a straightforward, no-fuss environment where the focus is entirely on the cut.
The Scissor-Over-Comb Technique: Why It Matters for Men
Julie’s signature approach is scissor-over-comb cutting, a traditional barbering technique that produces a natural, well-blended result with excellent texture and shape retention. For men who want a clean finish that grows out well and holds its shape between cuts, this method consistently outperforms clipper-only approaches.
It takes skill and experience to do well, and Julie has had more than four decades to perfect it. Whether you are looking for a classic short cut, a taper, or a longer style that needs some shaping, the scissor-over-comb method delivers a result that looks intentional rather than rushed.
A Better Alternative to a Chain Salon or Barbershop
Journey’s Salon does not have a waiting area lined with chairs and a rotation of unfamiliar faces. It is a private, single-stylist salon where you book a time and that time is yours. For men who have grown tired of being handed off to whoever is free, this is a welcome change.
Local men in North Troy and the broader Northeast Kingdom have been coming to Julie for years. Visitors staying at the Journey’s Salon & Guest House also frequently add a salon appointment to their stay, whether they are hiking near the Long Trail, cycling the Northeast Kingdom back roads, or just passing through.
Combine Your Haircut With a Stay at the Guest House

The property offers three comfortable rooms (the Bob Room, the Pixie Room, and the Beehive Room) as well as three large, grassy campsites for those who prefer to sleep outside. Whether you are booking a room or pitching a tent, adding a salon appointment is easy and makes the most of your time in North Troy.
