Albert L. Julian Jr., of New Seabury and Westwood, passed away on March 2, 2026. Beloved husband of Douglas G. Nahigian. Devoted son of the late Albert and Helene Julian. Brother of Lisa Julian and Lori Condon. Cherished uncle to many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his sisters- and brothers-in-law and a far-reaching network of close family and friends.
A master barber, Al owned his own shop for six years before moving to the New York area, where he cut hair in Manhattan for ten years at notable salons including Warren Tricomi at the Plaza Hotel and Barba Men’s Grooming on 19th Street. He served a wide range of clientele, including celebrities and television personalities, most notably the husbands of BRAVO’s The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Al brought immense joy, laughter, and light to everyone he met. Unapologetically himself, he had a remarkable way of making everyone feel special. He cared deeply for those around him—always checking in, sending thoughtful gifts, and making sure you woke up to at least three memes in your Instagram inbox. Full of life, endlessly fun, and truly one of a kind, Al leaves behind memories that will forever be cherished.
The love he shared with his husband of 33 years was one of true devotion—a love lost but never forgotten. His spirit will continue to live on in all who knew and loved him.
