Seyoung Yoon

Seyoung is the absolute most talented stylist I’ve ever been too. I’ve been going to her 2 – 3 times a month since June 2015, and every single time she does a brilliant job. Plus she is really cool, which makes it all the better. Best decision you will make is calling Seyoung, promise !

Where do I even begin? Seyoung is a hair genius.
I initially came to her for a simple trim. I had hair that was about 22 inches long and never intended to cut drastically-​though I’ve always been curious about having shorter hair, but too afraid to take the plunge. Then came Seyoung. She took the time to get to know me and my hair and helped me to decipher my style.
Since I’ve been with her, I’ve cut my hair 14 inches, tried bayalages, dyed my hair rose gold, pink, and now grey. Although it was a bit scary to do some of these things, she knew the right things to do and say to get me comfortable and confident in my new styles. I’ve always wanted to do these things, just never met the right stylist that made me feel okay with it. It’s not just hair, it’s a lifestyle change! She’s edgy, cool and has great taste in music too. You’ve got to try her to see what I mean!
Seyoung is a true artist!

This girl knows her stylist skills. for sure!!! This is my second visit and freaking love what she can do with my hair… colors are unbelievable!!!

Seyoung has been doing my hair for about 1.5 years since I moved back from the Bay Area. She has been amazing ever since day one. She listens to all my requests and has taken me from long, layered black hair to long bobs with balayaged highlights… and now back to a black short bob. I have thick wavy textured hair and she really knows how to work with my hair. I also have a really crazy work schedule and she will always find the time to fit me in. She is the sweetest and I highly recommend her to anyone!

Out of all the stylists I’ve experienced in the past 28 years, Seyoung shines brightly. Have you ever had a stylist treat your hair like an objet d’art? Like it was a long-​lost original Monet? That’s probably the best way to describe her service model. I’ve had capable stylists before, but they usually made me feel like a product on an assembly line. With Seyoung, it’s more like my hair is a carefully prepared piece by Georges Braque himself. Every stroke of color she applies, each swipe of hair – she could legally patent them as tokens of unique intellectual property. She works hard, but thinks even harder about what is going to be best for you and your hair. If there is a chance your hair could look like something from the cover of Self or Bazaar, Seyoung is capable of making it happen. Her natural talents are self-​evident, and I have recommended her to many male and female friends and associates. She’s one of those stylists you worry about losing somehow in the future… she’s that unique.
As for the salon itself, it’s ideal. The location is highly accessible with immediate and ample parking. The ambience is tactful and tasteful. Victor Paul Salon is not obnoxious like many salons this day and age. I’m sure we’ve all experienced salons with terrible noise levels, blasting bad music, turning what should be a fun and relaxing experience into a «when will it be over» chore. You will not find that at Victor Paul Salon. The level of customer service found here is nothing short of profound. They smile constantly and show genuine concern for your entire appointment. I’ve actually had stylists there ask me if I needed anything! At other salons the stylists are seemingly either in their own world or showing attitude to the stylist in the next chair over. At Victor Paul Salon, everyone is a true talented professional. I dont know what else to mention except the salon is just timeless all around.
So, why only 4-​stars? As my only review in 28 years of visiting many stylists, I rank Seyoung as an epic stylist. In my humble (or perhaps zealous) opinion, only legendary figures such as Sassoon, Mitchell, Frieda, and Westmore can command the rank of 5-​stars. Nonetheless, Seyoung is of their mould. Highly recommended, without reservation!

Seyoung is amazing!!! IM SO HAPPY I found you, Love my hair color and the hair cuts… I like VictoPaul Salon very easy to make an appoiment, everybody is kind …

So amazing! Seyoung is an incredible hair stylist! I go to her for cuts/​color and individual hair extensions. The hair extensions are amazing and I can’t feel them at all! She blends them very well and they look beautiful and natural. As somebody in the beauty industry myself, I’m extremely picky about who works on any beauty service I might get done. She is incredibly meticulous about her work and really listens to her clients! Plus she’s really engaging and fun to talk to!

I had my hair ravaged by way too much careless bleaching and a cut that made my hair hang flat and lifeless. I basically kept my hair in a bun ²⁴⁄₇ cause I hated it. I ran into Seyoung at Sephora where she recommended one of the lines from Bumble and Bumble to me. I saw her two weeks later for a new cut and color. Between the new products and the stunning job she did on my hair, I have full natural waves in my hair that are finally able to shine through. I never have to style my hair. And my coloring is so beautiful I don’t even see my roots coming in. I am in love with Seyoung. She has my business for as long as I live here… And probably even longer.

Funny, witty and extremely talented, definitely the best hair stylist I’ve ever had. It took me a while to find someone I could totally trust. Being the kind of person who usually doesn’t really know what haircut I want but however picky on the results, Seyoung does an excellent job finding the best style and achieving the best results. She is very attentive to details, extremely focused on her work and doesn’t count the minutes provided the results are satisfactory. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Seyoung was very professional, personable and helpful. Not only did she give me ideas about what to do with my hair and how it could be cut but she also gave me advice and showed me how to curl and style my hair. Since I was recommended by a friend, Seyoung gave me a discount! I will be back!

I am from San Diego and had been searching for someone to cut my hair in the OC for many months. One day I started searching for salons on Unilocal in Costa Mesa. I booked Seyoung because of reviews that mentioned long hair and also due to the fact the salon was very close to my job.
Upon walking in I was greeted and offered a drink. The salon is very hip, unlike me, and I felt like my business casual attire did not belong on the green velvet couch. But I didn’t really care and Seyoung was pleasant and kind. She cut my hair with ease, blew dry it like a boss and then texturized just the way I like. I went from drab to fab in an hour and a half.
I have to say I pay more for things in the OC than I did in San Diego, which is extremely hard to do for a wanna be couponer like me but having my hair cut by Seyoung is always worth it!

Incredible service and quality. She knew what would look good and the color&scut were spot on. Looking forward to my next visit!

Long overdue review.
I’ve been going to Seyoung for about 3 years now. That’s the longest I’ve stayed w/​any hairstylist. She is ah-​maz-​ing! She knows how to do hair. Just because you’re licensed, experienced, and built your clientele, it doesn’t mean crap when it comes to my own hair. See, I have long hair. Some would think long hair is easy to cut, trim, style, etc. It’s not! Some stylists get too excited when they see long hair and want chop off too much, suggest a hot new style or technique just so they can practice or try it out, some don’t know how to layer properly, so you have chunks of layers, literally, and some are just unfriendly like they don’t care for your business. Seyoung is none of those things. Thank God I found her on Unilocal and took a chance. She will be my hairstylists for many, many years to come. Thanks Seyoung!

It’s been months since I had a haircut. Being a guy with a lot of hair it’s hard finding a decent stylist. I found Seyoung on Unilocal and decided to visit her at Victor Paul. She asked if I found her on groupon (wish I did) apparently she has a special going on. I wish she gave me the groupon special I probably would have spent that money to buy the products she was pushing to sell.
Besides her sells approach she gave a decent haircut. Not sure if I would go back. I guess I’ll still be looking for that one stylist.

I have been going to Seyoung for two years, and have followed her to Victor Paul Salon from her previous salon. Her cuts are fantastic and she’s fantastic! I recently colored my hair for the first time, and though I’ve been considering it for several years, haven’t trusted anyone but Seyoung to do it. I’m really picky about hairstylists and would not go to anyone else in OC.

I love my new haircut that I got from this salon, Seyoung MY FAVORITE hairstylist did such a good job! From the first snip of hair, I knew she knew what she’s doing because she was so focused in the cut, she whipped my hair to the ground like a true artist lol I’ve always trusted Seyoung with my hair, as I’ve gone to her for the past 5 years now and she is an artist with her cut and style. Makes sense since she told me last that she went to school for graphic design but instead fell in love with cutting hair. If you want someone with a eye for what would look good on you, modernized style and extreme attention to detail, then get a cut from her because she always does an amazing job. My sister, nieces and I always get compliments whenever we get our hair cut and that’s always a good feeling. Thanks again Seyoung!

Seyoung = Say-​Wow!
She’s been cutting my hair for over a year now and it’s been great every time. Easy to schedule, good conversationalist when you want to talk, OK with silence when you don’t, and always makes me feel welcome and comfortable. Thank you Seyoung!

I’m admittedly very bad about writing reviews, but had to do one for Seyoung. I’ve been going to Seyoung since I read her rave reviews while she was at The Retreat, and I’m so happy I found her. She listens carefully to what you want, but also provides helpful opinions on what she thinks would look flattering on you. My hair at the end of my appointment always turns out even better than I could have hoped for, and I always walk away with new styling tips and tricks. I tend to be very risk averse when it comes to my hairstyle, but I’ve come to trust her artistic style and insight so much that I would probably dye my hair blue if she told me she thought it would look good :) An added bonus is that she is so kind and easy to talk to.
Two very enthusiastic thumbs up for Seyoung!

I really love the Victor Paul Salon. I’m always met with a friendly greeting and an offer of my choice of beverage. I don’t always feel like the coolest, 40-​something, mother of two around, but when I come here I feel like a celebrity. The salon is beautifully decorated and the chairs are quite comfortable, so comfy that I have fallen asleep on a couple of occasions (did I mention I am a mother of 2?) You get that hair dryer heat on me and I’m off to Sleepytown.
My stylist is Seyoung and she is AWESOME. She’s been styling my hair for a long time now and I don’t know what I’ll do if I ever have to move from the OC. She recently gave my 14 year old daughter the Ombré (all her friends ooh’d and ahh’d over it). And, she recently added some purple extensions on this PTA mom’s head, upping my coolness quotient by quite a bit (except that I used the word «cool» once again thereby downgrading said quotient). Seyoung offers terrific advice for trying something new (like the extensions), but is willing to dial it back if I just feel like being same-​o. No pressure here. Seyoung is the best… go see her!

After having been looking for a while for a new hair stylist that I could trust in, I stumbled upon Seyoung when she was over at a different salon, and I have been with her ever since.
For me, it is all about trust, and understanding who I am and what I want my hair to communicate to people. (In my case, business with an edge.) Seyoung gets this and gave me exactly what I wanted the very first time she did my hair. Since then, my confidence in her has grown and she now has carte blanche to do whatever she wants, since I trust her and know that she knows what will look good on me. She is not afraid to cut or bring out the electric razor, while at the same time being very meticulous.
I can definitely say that I have found my hair stylist for life.
