You know how you go on a first date and think, wow, this is good but you don't want to get your hopes up? Well, now after seeing Marc 3 times, I can say we now have a curly hair relationship. We actually skipped the honeymoon phase and moved on to the real meal deal. I have not been happy with a hairdresser for a long time until I found Marc. I realize the difference is that, like a good partner, Marc LISTENS. He understands what is best for YOUR hair, not what is best for the way he cuts. I appreciate his openness. Plus, he's a fun guy. I hope to be a client of Marc's for a long time to come.
I went to Marc about 4 hours ago today and absolutely loved him. Everyone noticed my haircut and loved it!
He asks you how you want your hair cut, which if you are like me, I always say however because I really don't know how curly hair should be cut. He explained to me how he was going to cut it and why he was going to cut it that way. My favorite part was he also explained all of the products he was using and why. This was my favorite part because I have searched my entire life for a good product! Marc is a down to earth guy and super nice. I highly recommend him!
I Love Mark and I love my curls. He is a down to earth guy. It seems only natural to trust someone with curls to cut your curls! I have had three haircuts and I am still in "hair' love. He is extremely fair on price, making the "hair" love even stronger! Thanks Marc!
I agree with all the reviews here. This guy is awesome. I was really mad at my hair and really wanted to chop it all off after growing it out because it wouldn't do anything that I wanted it to do. I read all the reviews here and thought why not. I am so glad I decided to go. My hair hasn't looked this good in years. He really listened to what I had to say and even looked at previous haircut pictures that I brought with me to help in deciding what would be best for me. He even took the time to evaluate my hair and showed me how to style it. For once I do not feel like a quota in a salon. I am definitely returning to him from now on. Thanks Mark :)
Marc was great. I found reviews here about different places I could try for a curly haircut in the Dallas, TX area. I decided to try going to Marc, and I am glad I did. He knows how to cut curly hair.
Marc did a great job. I highly recommend Marc.
Marc is exactly like everyone says; professional, informative, friendly, and amazing with curly hair!!! I already had a great stylist, but after finding Marc through this website, I decided, "Why not try him out?". I had a very funky fro type hairstyle that I loved, but wanted to try something extremely different. I wanted to cut it all off into a frohawk type style. Being that I have a very eclectic, funky style, I was afraid that he might be a more contemporary, simple type cutter. Wow was I wrong!!! This guy gave me a rockin haircut that I absolutely love!!! He's amazing and can do anything! I look forward to having him as my new hairstylist. Thanks Marc!!!
I live in the British Virgin Islands and was going to vacation in Dallas. I decided to check out Marc Marcell, due to his excellent reviews on this site. I must say I was not disappointed at all!! I have had trouble finding someone who knew how to cut my naturally curly hair properly. Marc did a wonderful job! He even took the time to recommend products that would help with my new shorter hairstyle and help me look FABULOUS all the time. As an absolute bonus, Marc is a genuinely nice guy and made me feel at home at his salon. I would recommend Marc to anyone who has curly hair, he knows his stuff!! I would also like to add that I was late to my appointment due to my doctors appointment running over and Marc rearranged his clients until I arrived, so that I could still get my hair cut. What a guy !!! I plan to be in Dallas in December and I will make sure to give On the Avenue a call so that I can maintain my cut.

I just started going to see Mark about 2 months ago. He is hands down the BEST at cutting curly hair!! Anyone with curls knows how hard it is to find someone that understands how it needs to be cut, and what it needs to be styled. Like many others, I'm sure, I've been frustrated getting cuts from people that just don't get it. Mark totally gets it! He also gave me some great tips for dealing with my curls every day. To top it all off, he's a really great guy! :)
I have to say. He's the only stylist that I've found who knew how to cut and style curls and explained every step to allow me to keep the great look he gave me, at home. I highly recommend a trip to see Mark, whether you have curls or not. I look forward to many return visits!!
Mark has been my stylist for years and years now, so he knows that though I'm naturally curly, I typically head for the straightener. On my most recent visit to Mark, I said, "I think I'm gonna go for the curly look (embrace my natural style)!" He was ecstatic, to say the least, so that made me feel good about my decision. About 15 to 20 minutes later, he was all done. Quick and easy. We let my hair naturally dry, and after a few minutes, the curls just sprung up. It looked fabulous! I've gotten so many compliments on the curly cut. I also tried it straight, and it looks just as awesome. I love it. I can work two looks for the price of one! I think he's just so skilled in creating a cut that works both ways, straight and curly. The curls are working out great for me. I think I'm a changed girl. I definitely recommend Mark to a curly head or straight head. You're sure to meet a guy who's cool, laid-back, totally unpretentious and awesome.
I stumbled upon Mark through my husband when my stylist moved out of town. My husband and Mark were friends before he became a stylist and Mark has been cutting his hair for 8 years. I have only been to Mark 3 times now and as long as I live in Dallas, Mark will be my stylist. Not only is he a great stylist, he's a great conversationalist as well. I always leave the salon feeling pampered and fresh. If you are looking for a down-to-earth stylist that knows what he's doing, look no further.
I gotta give it to Mark; he's the best there is for curls! I always leave the salon feeling on top of the world with the best hair in town! My curls love him and so do I. If you have curls, do yourself a favor and don't wait; book an appointment now. You won't be sorry.
Mark is awesome! He cut my hair and it looks great. I have never been to a stylist that actually knows curly hair. He knows how to cut it and how to style it. I am very happy with my hair and I will continue to see Mark. I definitely recommend him to anyone who has curly hair and is tired of the "looks good at the salon, but what am I going to do at home" feeling. I have been there, done that!
--240 monthly haircuts and styles over a decade and a half since I was 16 years old.
--20 plus stylist and 18 (+ or -) salons from New York to Dallas to San Francisco.
--1 name sticks out: MARK MARCELL
Where has he been since I started the battle for the PERFECT cut and style of my curly hair?
Well, I am not going to live in the past, but I sure know where I will be going in the future!!!
Not only does he, himself have curly hair and the ablility to empathize with his clients, but he has a true natural talent plus years of experience to bring the curl to a desired control. I was at ease the second I sat in his chair. I pepperd him with questions for what he wanted to do to achieve the desired results I have so long been looking for in a cut and style. From his responses, I could tell that he was not just talented; not just had experience; but continually educating himself on the latest and greatest in procedure and product knowledge.
But really, who cares what he knows and says. The proof was made certain, not only when I walked out the door, but by the numerous complements I recieved by both man and woman.
He truely was worth the search and suggestion I took to go see him!!!
If you have curly hair--(or for that matter)--or not, but might have some of the same "HAIR HISTORY," I might suggest checking Mark out!!
I just ask, please do not take my monthly time slot!!!!!
Good luck out there,

When I moved to Dallas six months ago I thought it would take me AGES to find a stylist who could deal with my hair. I've got long curls that I never blowdry, so it takes a good cut to keep it looking decent. Mark is awesome, and also totally fun to visit. Amazingly for Dallas.....you actually leave with money left in your checking account after the cut is over. I also get all my color done with Mark and have been really happy with those results, too. DEfinitely check him out.
I feel extremely fortunate to have found Mark. I, like so many others with naturally curly hair, had been searching for the stylist that really understood how to cut and style my hair. Finally a friend referred me to Mark, the curl genius!
He does a tremendous job - cuts, color and styling!
If you are looking for someone who will work wonders with your hair, look no further!
I have been a loyal follower of Mark since 1999. He is the only person I trust with my curls. I have gone through stages of chin length as well as shoulder length and anything in between and I get compliments wherever I go. Mark rocks! And he can also do your color. Go see him..you won't be sorry.
I found Mark here and then hunted him down. Here is his cell number in case you need it 214.289.7836. He splits time between Dallas and Plano. Really like the shorter hair and get a lot more curl.
