If I could give Toby 1000000/10 stars, I would! It was my first time going to him and even prior, he was very responsive. He really took the time to explain my hair, coloring process, maintenance, etc. He's definitely looking out for his clients! He also offered me coffee and a little pineapple cake snack which really added a nice touch. My appointment was on the weekend, and it wasn't crowded at all. Everyone inside the salon was wearing masks, which made me feel really safe. The area is also really nice to walk around after to get some brunch or coffee! Depending on where you park, it would be free or meter parking. Also, another thing to keep in mind is that it is cash only! I wasn't aware, but there's a Chase bank that is a 5 minute walking distance. read more

David & Toby Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Seal Beach, California

I'm convinced David is a magician. I've been going to him for about 2 years now. Before I discovered David, whenever I would get a haircut I usually had to wait about a month of growth until I liked how it looked but with David I walk out of the salon feeling amazing instantly and my hair always looks and feels so healthy. I recently finally decided to get a balayage. I showed David what I wanted and he took the time to explain the different tones and what he thinks would work best for my hair and skin color. I was AMAZED by the results. Still can't believe this is my hair. All my friends who have balayage's complemented his work and acknowledged that he did a really good job. read more

David & Toby Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Toby is the best Asian blonde specialist. I say this without a doubt. If you wanna go blonde, I would go with these guys. They're super knowledgeable and they want the best for your hair. Always be flexible with your expectations, ladies. If he says this is the best level of blonde for your hair, then follow the expert. The toner always comes out a little ashier/darker than your ideal hair color but it's done for a reason. So your toner can stay longer and it'll gradually lighten to the photo you showed him. It won't be brassy anytime soon. read more

David & Toby Salon - Asian blonde, before and after! Toby's magic! - Hair Salons Near Me - Seal Beach, California

I've cut my hair with David for the last 7 years or longer (I can't remember) but I wouldn't trust anyone else. He's super responsive and friendly. I've tried many different hair styles with David from a short bob to basic trims. I also have a lot of thick hair as well and he always manages to make me look beautiful every single time. I also really appreciate the way he layers my hair. It just falls very beautifully and naturally. He provides me with advice and product recommendations too to maintain my hair health. He's very skilled and amazing at his work. read more

I have been getting my hair lightened & toned by David since last year, and I must say that he has the magic touch! I've been skeptical about going to a new salon after my usual go-to-girl moved far away, as another artist I went to in LB was super dismissive and forgot my name despite me going every 8 weeks! David was super kind and charming from the getgo, and I have been continuously feeling welcomed since my first visit. David really took the time to make sure I was hydrated and felt comfortable during my 4+ hours being at the salon. Yes, my hair is pretty dang stubborn and took a while to get lightened lol. He also helped to maintain the integrity of my 20+ years of bleached hair. If you are looking for a welcoming and professional place to get your hair did, I would recommend coming here and meeting with David or Toby! Although they are not accepting new clients at this time, let them know Easter sent you ;) read more

David & Toby Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Seal Beach, California

I am a huge fan of David a d Toby's work, and I will follow them where ever they go. They are professional and they understand the intricacy of chemicals/hair dyes/textures... that's what makes their dye jobs amazing, they are truly dedicated artists. I've been going to them for years and I have tried other hair artists when they weren't available and I've never been happy with other people's work on my hair. I love their new salon , it is cute, clean, and they parking is so easy for it being located in downtown Seal beach! I absolutely love their location Because there are mandates with wearing masks, nice hair is more important than ever! Thank you David and Toby! Just added a couple pictures so people can see my hair in different lighting, it's beautiful and I get compliments all the time read more

Always love! They are the best and have been for over a decade for me. Can't trust just anyone with your hair

David is AMAZING!! He is so skilled at his art, knows exactly what he's doing, and listens closely to what you request. He has an extremely friendly and welcoming personality, and very easy to talk to as well. I had the most easy going and stress free experience at his salon. I think I found my favorite hair colorist. Definitely coming back to touch up my hair when needed. I highly recommend :) COVID: He sanitizes and is working at reduced capacity! All the staff had their masks on the entire time too. Thank you so much David!! :) read more

David & Toby Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Just got my hair done by David and oh my gosh if I could give a million stars, I would! He is a magician with his hands and is truly the sweetest. First of all, I was late to my appointment because I got the time wrong, but David did not rush with his work at all. He was very meticulous and would carefully explain each process to me. He gave me tons of tips and recommendations on how to take care of my color and which products to use. David kept me comfortable and made sure I was in love with my hair. Also both David and Toby know how to hype you on and make you feel like a queen! I felt so confident and was glowing by the time I walked out of the salon. Prices are fair and I guarantee you that David will deliver on the color you want! I can't recommend him enough! read more

I've been going to Toby for over 20 years and I will follow him wherever he goes. It's because he's got a magic touch. I always leave looking like a million bucks! He's extremely talented and knows exactly what trends will work specifically for you and he's super honest when he feels it won't and he's able to explain why in detail. Toby and David are true hair experts. These days, I just walk in and let them decide what they want to do with my hair. That's how much I trust them. I love these guys! They have changed my hair from black to ash blonde, to ash brown and now I'm rockin' a beautiful brown caramel. It's so fun being a hair chameleon. read more

David and Toby are amazing! Since I moved back from NorCal, David has been the only person I let touch my hair and he NEVER disappoints. He is very honest about what can and cannot be done and makes your hair health a priority. Both David and Toby are super friendly, keep great conversations and always checks to make sure you aren't thirst or if you need to add time to your parking meter. Thank you, David for always looking out for me and my hair! read more

David's been doing my hair for roughly 7 years now and through the 7 years, I've been blonde for roughly 5 years now. As you know being blonde can be very damaging, especially if you're doing it for 5 years without taking a break. However, I was able to do it for this long all thanks to David! He would do whatever means possible to keep my hair thriving and prevent it from breaking each time I decide to go a different shade of blonde. He's definitely my go to person that I can trust to always do an exceptional job on my hair. He really cares and would always give me recommendations on what product to use and even offered to give me some olaplaex to purchase to keep it smooth and healthy. Listed below are some of the hair colors that I've done with him through the years read more

I received services from both Toby and David in one sitting. This is my first time dying my natural hair. I explained this to both Toby and David. Prior to my appointment, I sent photos from their own Yelp reviews of the hair color I wanted to achieve. I was aiming for an ash brown color which I was told could not be done in one sitting due to the fact that I had natural Asian hair that has never been dyed before. I was told by Toby and David that it would take multiple sessions. They showed me a photo of chocolate brown hair color which is the closest they could do for the first session. I was okay with the chocolate brown hair color. At the end of my session, I was completely shocked when my hair came out bleach blonde. I went from natural dark brown hair to a rubbery, fine, bleach blonde hair down to the roots. I could not believe I was blonde. It was so incredibly far off the photo I was presented with. I was polite and thanked them but it was not what I wanted at all. This cost me $500 cash. They do not accept card. After about a month of suffering and researching what I could possibly do, I even contacted them on ways to fix both the texture and color. They set me up to dye my hair back to a dark brown. The first thing I told them was that I do not want a red brown color, I want a more natural brown color. I came out with red brown hair. They charged me $100 for this session. Cash, as they do not accept card. After many more months of crying due to the texture, color, and emotional trauma from this experience and failure to realize the scam they put me through (after speaking to other people that have more experience getting their hair done and other stylists who do hair color), I decided to try and get my money back. After writing to them about my experience, I was told to call to discuss getting my refund. I responded letting them know that I would like my refund back. I did not receive any messages back. I tried sending another message and have noticed that I have been blocked. When I initially messaged them on the phone number listed on their yelp regarding my appointment, my messages were sending blue (iMessage to iMessage). Now, my messages are sent green. When I checked this on my husband's phone, the message sends blue. Its apparent that they have blocked me. Their responses on Yelp are only to appear as if they are dealing with the issue but they do not actually follow through. The more I think about my experience, the more upset I feel that people like this can get away with treating people this way. I wish I did not take services from a business that only accepts cash so that the consumer cannot dispute funds. I wish I stood up for myself and was more vocal about my hair at the end of my appointment rather than timid and reserved. I wish I did not go back to them or listen to their advice on fixing the color and texture of my hair. Ultimately, I wish I never met both Toby and David and never experienced the worst service in my life. I hope no one else has to experience what I went through. Please avoid this place by any means possible. They do not provide you the quality, results, or customer service that you pay for. read more

David & Toby are amazing !! I was always self conscious about my thin hair and I decided to go to them for extensions. It was the best choice I have ever made for my hair !! I started with a few pieces and once I realized how natural they looked and how easy they were to take care of , I went back for longer pieces ! I have 22inches in and I get compliments on my hair all the time !! They last for months and look so natural. Toby is so gentle, kind , and talented! read more

Toby has been doing my hair for 4 or 5 years now ever since I found their salon on Yelp at Hair2001. He already had me as a life time client with his long layers cut. Since last year I wanted to add a nice natural brown color. He found the just perfect color to brighten my face without having spend time doing additional highlights. I couldn't be happier with my new hair. He's the best! I always have a nice time chatting with Toby and David while he works on my hair. Toby and David recently move to Seal Beach, just a sort distance from Westminster. The salon is right near the beach, nice, bright and breezy. I look forward to coming here for years to come. Thank you Toby and David! read more

David has been doing my hair for 4 years and he does not disappoint! I was in desperate need of a fresh balayage and texted David. Luckily, he was able to fit me in right away.

He is very meticulous with his work and it shows. I followed him from his old salon to this new location and will continue to for as long as I can! read more

David has been cutting my hair for 4 years now and I am so happy each time I visit. I actually won't go to any other salon. He is incredibly talented and goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome at the salon. My favorite cut is the angled, short-hair bob cut and he always does a phenomenal job with it. Practically every single time, I'll get a ton of compliments from family, friends, and even complete strangers. His salon used to be located on Brookhurst and Edinger in Westminster (Hair 2001), but he has since moved to a new location in Seal Beach. I really like his new salon - it is just relaxing inside and makes a simple hair cut feel like a day-spa experience. Note that it may be a little tricky to find his salon. Google maps will point to the back of the salon. The entrance of the salon is facing Electric Ave on the side of the metered parking lot. The storefront has a blue awning above it. For some reason, Yelp doesn't give the right address either (hopefully they will have fixed this soon, but it is 907 Electric Ave, Seal Beach, CA 90740) read more
