Sebastian Hair

He just did his own thing. Told him to freshen up my layers, keep it on the long side, trim the split ends and cut in a V shape. But nooooo! Not what I got. He just took a chunk of hair and chopped it off. Just about 6 inches, and it got shorter and shorter by the minute. I was about to cry. Hair is short and I will never go back. On top of that, he said that he doesn’t think I’ve ever gotten a good haircut. (Insulting my normal hairdresser). All I wanted was a trim, and in the end he said Voila, fresh new look and indeed it was, but not that I wanted at all.

My husband actually introduced me to Sebastian. I’ve been going to him for about 1 year now and I started as I was losing my post-​partum hair. Sebastian knew exactly what to do with my fine hair, that’s «in transition» at the time. He knows hair! Ever since that first haircut, I’ve been going to Sebastian. I usually let him do whatever he wants with my hair, letting him know that I work in a pretty conservative office and the haircut can’t be drastic enough that my toddler won’t know me when I get home! Love the reliable service and he always make my thin hair feel more voluminous :)

Unparalleled when it comes to understanding different hair types.
My hair is fine and difficult to work with. Sebastian comes through every time. He is conscientious and awesome.
I also agree with a previous reviewer who states he is honest and has a big heart.

Was the cut awesome? Yes! Probably the best cut I’ve ever had.
He didn’t ask me how long I wanted my layers though, he just kind of cut where he wanted. I took a big risk by going to someone new, because only 2 other people have ever touched my hair, but it was a good experience.
I wasn’t very happy with the price, $ 80, because he didn’t even comb it out when he was done washing it, just let me put it in a bun, and I also had really bad dye spots on my face. Usually they’ll at least blow dry it, or if you don’t want to pay extra, comb it out.
Take cash with you, even if you have a broken ankle like I did, he will still ask you to walk over to Buffalo Wild Wings to pull cash out.

He such a great hair stylist! I been going to him for many years. Always gives me amazing hair cuts. I recommend him to everyone!

Sebastian is an absolute amazing stylist. He takes the time to learn about the latest in techniques by going to school on his own… he has the best equipment and he really takes into account a person’s personality… and just brings it out… he is the consummate professional. He explains what he is doing… no run-​away scissors… and appreciates that as a customer I will be his best advertisement. Best, he is a kind soul who loves what he does. I recommend him highly for anyone who values a stylist of the highest caliper.

Sebastian knows hair. I’ve had the hardest time finding a hair person who knows how to deal with thick Asian hair. Sebastian is not afraid to thin out my hair and give it body and movement. He’s very reasonable and very good getting me in on short notice. He is the only hair dresser that I have gone to on a regular basis. I was a salon hopper until I found him.

Honestly the first time I came into Sebastian he gave me an amazing cut and I absolutely loved it. The next time I came in I just told him I wanted to thin out my hair a bit.
He decided to do his own thing and told me I’m going to absolutely «love it». He ended up thinning out my hair so much on the bottom that I am too embarrassed to even wear my hair down now because it just looks terrible. So if you go in make sure to tell him what YOU want and to not let him do his own thing.

I’m blown away by Sebastian’s attentiveness, attention to detail, finesse, and overall professional attitude. I recommend this place 100 times over! I will definitely be returning.

I hate having to post this review, but I want to spare others what I just went through. The first time I went to see Sebastian my hair cut was aaahhmazzzing. Each time Ive been in to see him it gets a little worse, but today can only be described as the quickest hack job ever. I called to set an appointment to get bangs cut in to my long layered hair. I brought pictures. I tried to show him exactly what I wanted, but noticed he didn’t even glance up when I showed him the pics. I sat down, he made two cuts and pulled out the blow dryer and asked me if I was happy… umm…not even kind of what I wanted. So he cut more and proceeded to tell me how he liked it better the other way. It still wasn’t what I wanted but I figured at this point, he was going to do it his way regardless of what I said.
I’ve been trying to grow my hair out for sooo long, so every precious inch counts, and I want it to be as healthy looking as possible. I asked if he had time to TRIM the rest of my hair and he did so begrudgingly, all the while telling me how bad the ends were (He must have forgotten I was just in to see him for a trim a few weeks ago). Rather than trim, he chopped.
Long story short I was in and out the door in 12 minutes, including wait time. Now my bangs are too long and my mid-​back length hair is just barely below my shoulders (you know that weird in-​between length everyone dreads? Ya, I just paid for that).
Sebastian has loads of talent and can make you look and feel beautiful, if you catch him in the right mood.

Sebastian is awesome! Found him by accident 10 years ago loved his work. He’s so professional and such expert I don’t even have to ask what I want. I just sit and let him do what ever he wants to do with my hair.

Sebastian is very experienced and did a great job on my hair.
I really like how he explained his technique as he cut it so that I knew exactly what he was doing.
You will see that he genuinely cares about his clients and how they feel. Sebastian is not only a great stylist, but he is very honest and has a big heart.

I found Sebastian through Unilocal.The reviews seemed great so I figured I would give him a call. On the phone I mentioned I wanted low-​lights in my blonde hair as a transition into fall. When I came in I was sat in the chair for 40 min. past my appointment time. I chose a color I liked during this time. He started coloring my entire head this color, not just chunks. He explained after the fact that this is so I can keep the color all over the same. He should have warned me, but I accepted this because I was into how it came out. He warned me that I would probably need to come back to get it darkened in a couple weeks, but he would only charge me $ 20.
After a week and a half my red hair was golden brown. I came back in and asked him to redo it. I asked for permanent color this time, but he would not do it. He also told me all about a date he had the night before in which the woman wanted to sleep with him but he wasn’t into it. I feel like he regails you with stories to make you think you’re his friend. It’s just like, dude, I’ll pay you more if you just make my hair look good. He charged me $ 27 instead of $ 20. I gave him $ 40 total out of good faith and he said I should come back on a certain day to get a special shampoo to lock in the color.
I came back Friday and not only did he not have the shampoo, he was so horrified my color already looked faded that he told me to come in Monday. Well I called him this morning and he said it’s his day off. He said he would be coming out just for me and that it wouldn’t m

I’ve searched far and wide for an affordable haircut that doesn’t leave me looking like I was attacked by an out of control hair trimmer or a drunk stylist. I found Sebastian as my wife and children were going to him.
He does a wonderful job cutting my hair and is always on time for our appointments. I’m driving twenty to thirty minutes to get to him but it is totally worth it.

I just moved to Irvine from Seattle, WA and so looked on Unilocal for a good hair salon. With such high ratings, I was excited to meet Sebastian. I called and came in a few hours later. For first timers, the Salon is called Ethan James Salon in a same plaza as Buffalo Wild Wings and it’s next to a Vietnamese restaurant. Sebastian is very knowledgeable, experienced and accommodating. He is very nice and funny. He charges $ 70 for a haircut and color which is very reasonable. You can always make an appointment very quickly with him. I had my hair dyed and cut by him before Thanksgiving. He did an awesome job. He talked a lot about Vietnam with me because I was going to Hanoi to visit my husband’s family and have another wedding over there during Christmas break. He told me to come back a few days before I leave for Vietnam so he could do a touch up and add a toner for very cheap. I was super busy traveling before my big trip so I couldn’t stop by.
My sisters came to visit me for Spring break and wanted a haircut and color to look different. I recommended Sebastian so I called him on Sunday and he told us to come in the next day. When we arrived, he was waiting for us and was ready to go. He was full of compliments and even made us laugh with his dancing. I don’t think he remembers me because he thought I was a girl that works at the Apple store in the mall? Maybe he mistaken me for someone else? We talked a lot the first time but it was 4 months ago so he probably forgot with his busy schedule. My sister got her hair dyed one shade lighter than her natural color. This was her first time getting her hair dyed so she didn’t want anything dramatic. She really liked her color. My youngest sister wanted a natural ombré. I don’t think she got ombré since it wasn’t a gradation from dark to light. It was just highlights in the back of her head. Maybe her hair will lighten up with time. The haircut was good though. All and all, it was a good experience. Their hair was silky and soft. He gave us good pointers and a bottle of color lock spray. I would recommend Sebastian if you live in the area. If you need to boost up your confidence, he is the person to go to.

You probably wonder is he good? Let me tell you honestly, I was like you, look up on Unilocal and found him. He manages to use professional shampoo to make your hair super naturally soft and he cut my hair short with excellent detailing skill. I manage to talk to him and he has over 30+ years in cutting hair and he always travel to learn about his work.
I never have a stylist before, I just found mine. I got all compliments from co-​worker about my hair.
Sebastian he helps my thin hair to look fuller, and he also make other ladies’ hair fuller to fit her body and size. He is very excellent at what he does and give you honest feedback if the hair is look good on you or not.
I absolutely love his honestly and skills. I am glad that I went to him, otherwise I would miss out on awesome hair right now hahaha… sorryy I really love my hair :) I hope you go to him and have an Amazing Hair Style :)

NOTE: Sebastian is at Ethan James salon — Address is 23 600 Rockfield Blvd, Ste 2G, Lake Forest, CA 92 630
Great job! He saw my hair, told me what it needed, and since I have fine hair which is very quick to cut, he gave me extras so that I would feel like I was getting my money worth! He used some stuff on my hair that cleaned the buildup off, then shampoed with tea tree and put a conditioning treatment at no extra, since it was my first time there and, like I said, my hair is quick to cut. Love the cut! My hair looks and feels very healthy! He seems to really know what he is doing and enjoys what he does!
Thanks Sebastian!

1. Great haircut!!! I got many, many layers that make my hair look & feel great without much (or any at more laid back times) styling.
2. Color that really matches my complexion, & is very flattering. I got high & low lights and I am just so happy with the look.
3. Affordable price! Sebastian’s pricing is so good that I will be able to visit him twice as often as any other hairdresser in the area ;) No more ugly looking roots!
4. Sebastian, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Also, Seb is soo good at men’s cuts — my hubs went to see him first & he came back looking more handsome than ever! :))

I’m a little reluctant in writing this review, becasue everyone might start booking with Sebastian and then I’ll have a hard time getting some chair time!
Sebastian works at Headlines Studio, which is in between BevMo and Crunch gym on El Toro. He asked what I wanted, and I told him my hair needed shape and body; and maybe some bangs. He agreed and proceeded to give me the best cut of my life — no joke. My husband can’t even stop commenting on it, and he hates anyone that cuts my hair since he likes it long. :)
Another plus — the cut was onlyl $ 30.00! I have paid a lot more for a lot less. The only thing to remember is that he takes cash only, so come prepared.

EUREKA. (**gospel choir singing in the background**)
Back story:
I have had THEE toughest time finding a great stylist who wouldn’t break my piggy bank once I moved back home from college. On my mother’s recommendation, (ladies– dont do this) I ended up in some trendy salon, with inflated prices, (as is with most high «quality» salons in Orange County) mediocre service, and a haphazard cut that left my bank –65 $ and me, a very sad panda.
Main story:
Lost in the sprawling suburban sea of overpriced beauty and haircare that is Orange county, I turned to Unilocal and took a leap of faith (thanks to my fellow Unilocaler’s convincing reviews) dialing up my main man Sebastian who got me right in! My dear, dear Sebastian charged me $ 30 for a wash, cut, and dry and I am so happy to say: it’s honestly the best cut since I can remember! Anywhere I part or section off my hair, my layers fall incredibly even throughout– OOoo. so THIS is what a good cut looks like! Needless to say, my piggy bank remains intact and this panda’s frown has turned upside down ;)
