I had my hair bleached twice before coming to Sekina. I found her through Groupon where there was an amazing deal for a haircut, balayage, tone, and deep conditioning for only $89. I was able to get an appointment with her the next day and was hopeful that I could get my desired result. In truth, I was looking to get a silver balayage but did not think that I could realistically get my hair to lift high enough to a point where it could actually be toned to silver. My hair became incredibly brassy and the previous stylist left my hair in almost an ombré fashion instead of a balayage. Sekina was very honest and upfront about what she expected the result to be and also let me know about prices for additional services before doing the work on me. When it came to the haircut, she gave me a recommendation for layers because I liked to style my hair with curls and said that it would give my hair more dimension--which was definitely what I was going for. Overall, I was sad that my hair did not lift the way that I would but the whole process that Sekina did to ensure that my needs were satisfied left me feeling well taken care of. I also love the fact that she is basically in a more independent salon in Phenix Suites. I don't really like going into a chain/bigger salon because I always feel as if the stylist is being forced to sell you products and services when you don't really want to buy them in the first place. Being in an independent salon allows Sekina the chance to recommend you products that she believes will work best for your specific hair type without making you feel uncomfortable or pressured into buying it. I will certainly be coming back here for future visits because of the great energy and honest disposition Sekina has. If you'd also like a referral, please let me know and I'd gladly be able to hook you up with a discount! ;) (5/100 - 2018) read more

I scrolled past this review and realized I should probably write another. I had yet to call Sekina to fix my hair again. I was being cheap and asked a friend to do it. It was too short. And too choppy. She fixed it once again. Thank you for skyways saving my hair. read more

Love love love my hair!!! thank you Sekina I love my color and cut!! Also the Brazilian blowout was perfect!!!! You're the best!! Can't wait until my next appointment read more

I've never really had a hair stylist that I loyally go to, but that's changed! Yay! After looking up stylist in my area, I finally went for a consultation w Sekina. Off the bat she was so friendly & informative on the balayage process. A few days later I went in for my appt & left w blonde hair! Such great work. Through out the whole time it was like chatting w a girlfriend. When I left, within an hour I had so many looks & compliments my way! Thanks Sekina for the amazing look! read more

Let me start by saying Sekina is MAGIC. If I could give her more stars, I definitely would. I found her on Groupon, and was scared because usually "you get what you pay for" not this time. I spent a beautiful 6 hours with this human. She was so sweet and listened to exactly what I wanted and explained the entire process to me. I'm SO happy with the results. I'll 1000% be back. Give her a shot, I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

I feel so dissapointed by my experience with Sekina. Against my better judgement, I decided to use a Groupon to get my hair done after not getting it done for several months. I was extremely hopeful because of all of her good reviews however, I felt very dissatisfied with her service. She is a very nice person and I had a great time chatting with her while I was in the chair however, she was unable to give me the color and style I wanted. I understand that it could be difficult to reproduce a color and style as shown in a picture but I had showed it to her before she started and she said no problem that looks really cute. This gave me the impression she would be able to create a style very similar. My hair was 90% virgin hair with exception of very few old face-framing highlights. I felt like she had a very good canvas to work on. Unfortunately, she was so far off from what I wanted that I have to go get it redone. I texted her in less than 24 hours from leaving her salon and discussed my dissatisfaction and she has ignored my texts to go back in and get it redone. Its been 3 days from my last text and still no response. I finally decided just to go to somewhere else because I'm really embarrassed to wait much longer. I personally would not recommend her because of her really poor communication which started when I first tried to make an appointment. I had to text her several times to even get an initial appointment. I have been to other stylists that do a great job but got the color wrong but they have quickly made themselves available to make adjustments so that I can be happy. This did not seem to be her priority. Minus 1 star for terrible communication. Minus 1 star for not giving me the look I asked for. Minus 1 star for not following up and trying to correct it. read more

Sekina B Salon Studio - Left pic is what i asked for. Right pic is what i got. Very different. Very dissapointed. - Hair Extensions Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Doesn't pick up her phone or reply to messages when I request booking appointment. It's been a week now.

My teenage daughter has been getting her hair done exclusively by Sekina for years now, one of the many reasons we always return to Sekina is due to her talent and exemplary work ethic! Sekina always accommodates our scheduling needs including special events like Homecoming and Prom, and more recently, trips home from college, Sekina's salon is private and centrally located, it's perfect for all occasions ! The bond they share is so special, my daughter trusts Sekina and so do I as I've watched my daughter introduce new and different ideas for her hair, Sekina listens and keeps the basics in place, never stretching a style that might result in damaged hair and taking the time to introduce new hair products, curling and wave techniques that help maintain volume, color and shine, making every visit a success and best of all, my daughter LOVES her hair !!!! read more

UM quite possibly the sweetest person on earth?? Got a groupon for highlights because I went in not knowing what I wanted. She told me that I would be happier with a balayage instead after seeing the pictures that I had showed her. Literally can't thank her enough for the whole process. She took her time and made sure that I was 100% happy with my hair (which im like 160% happy with). I usually don't splurge a lot when it comes to my hair and pampering myself in general but it's been a life changing experience nonetheless and I def recommend her! read more

Sekina B Salon Studio - um huge thank you to Sekina cause I have officially PEAKED with this hair. - Hair Extensions Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Sekina has been doing my hair for over a year now. She started with doing my extensions for my wedding last year. It was absolutely stunning. My hair was longer and fuller and I loved it! After I removed my extensions, I decided to experiment with different hairstyles. I went lighter one visit. The next visit I decided to cut 4 inches off. And most recently I decided to go even shorter with a textured bob. Each time I left the studio, I was so excited to show off my new look. And every time I was flooded with compliments! I can't express how amazing and fun it is to work with Sekina. Whether I decide to have my hair light or dark, short or long, I know I can trust her to do a superb job. :) read more

Sekina did such a fabulous job on my highly over processed and thin damaged hair. I didn't even recognize myself when she was done ! The color and the style turned out absolutely perfect. She also did my hairstyle for a recent wedding i was in and it tuned out flawless! Thank you Sekina! read more

Sekina B Salon Studio - My awesome hair by Sekina - Hair Extensions Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I bought a Groupon for a balayage. This was my first time getting my hair done ever, so I was a little scared. She's a cool person to talk to but unfortunately I wasn't too pleased with my hair. I showed her a picture of a gradual balayage but my hair came a lot more yellow than I would have liked compared to my natural hair. It also kind of looks like she just dyed the top of my hair, definitely not like the picture I showed her. read more

Sekina was awesome! She knew exactly what I wanted without me knowing how to describe it. I have received so many compliments on how natural my blonde looks even though my hair is naturally very dark brown. Thank you and will definitely come back! read more

Sekina B Salon Studio - In love with my hair! Perfect for summer! - Hair Extensions Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

First of all, if there were more stars I would absolutely give Sekina a hundred!! She is magic. I found her on groupon and was hesitant about going at first, but she is SO talented and 100% knows what she is doing. My hair was super dry after I bleached it a few times. I didn't think it was possible to get it back to where it was when it was healthy, but Sekina made it possible. HIGHLY recommend coming to see her you won't regret it. :) read more

I'm so happy I found Sekina! She is absolutely amazing. I have found the one who can do it all! Sekina is all about perfection. You can feel assured when you leave her chair your hair will look amazing. She does my highlights and extensions and I couldn't be happier. read more

Highly recommend Sekina for haircut and balayage. I found her on Groupon. She replied immediately as I contacted her and scheduled the appointment. I loved the quality of her work and the quality of her customer service. No wait time once I got there. Also, she is very nice to talk to so time flies by and you end up with a great hairstyle. read more

I bought a Groupon and tried to call her. She did not answer and it went straight to voicemail which basically said that I should text her for an appointment. I texted her about an appointment in the afternoon and it took her until night time to reply. I immediately texted her after that and it has been 17 hours or so and she still hasn't replied. I called her one more time but she did not answer. I think if you are running a business and if you are selling groupons, you should be more responsive to your customers. If you are unable to get back to your customers on time, then please don't sell Groupons. As others say, you might be a good hair stylist but your lack of professionalism and unresponsiveness is disappointing. read more

She's very experienced, has great service, and cares about her clients and their opinions. I was amazed at her work. She has serious talent! Highly recommend:) read more

She's a hair goddess like so amazing!! So I was really scared to get my hair done but she helped me with the whole process. She was super thorough and really helpful with everything. Sekina is really genuine and has a strong work ethic. She literally works magic on your hair I swear! Definitely wouldn't go to anyone else for my hair. She has the fairest price and you definitely get good quality with her. Best price, best hair. The studio is really cute too. I highly recommend and I'll definitely be coming back soon. read more

I found Sekina through my sister, who found her through Groupon. She is truly a talented hair stylist! I had a Balayage done. Sekina was not only warm and kind, but also perceptive about what kind of hairstyle would look best on me. You can tell she cares about you and the results she gives you. She cut my hair and spent her time blow-drying, doing the Balayage, and styling it. All the while, she had a great, caring and positive attitude. Thank you so much, Sekina! I love my hair! read more

I was looking for a hairdresser for a natural balayage on my 15 year old daughter. I found Sekina on Groupon (my first time using Groupon) and checked all her good reviews. Sekina is so nice, friendly and she knows what she is doing. My daughter is so happy with the result. Very subtle balayage and very well done! Amazing work! Thanks Sekina. Now her sister wants the same balayage!!:) read more

This woman is magic! I get so many compliments on my hair now that she is styling, cutting and coloring it! There is not enough that I can say to describe how amazing she is! Book with Sekina... you will not be sorry! read more

I've actually written a review about Sekina before, in 2013!! You'll note that the previous review was 5 stars, and three years later, still 5 stars! Sekina is a supremely talented artist. She really cares about hair, style, and her customers. She really takes the time to listen to you and look at pictures with you so she can deliver the most perfect cut, color, and blow dry ever, every single time. Sekina has an exceptional eye for structure and color, and I have never been so proud of my hair! We've done a bunch of different things, and each time, I have been blown away! Sekina is versatile and skilled, you'll never be disappointed no matter what craziness you throw at her. In going to Sekina's salon (or wherever she may be, I follow her everywhere), I can also say she is an amazingly generous and accommodating person, super funny, and very caring. I am 100% comfortable in her capable hands, and getting my hair done has become one of my favorite things. You absolutely cannot go wrong with Sekina! read more

I bought a Groupon for a balayage and haircut. I was a little nervous since its hard for me to trust someone with my hair... Sekina was great, right when I sat on the chair she ask me the history of the things I have done to my hair. That right there was a A+ it shows she's careful with what she does and very honest. Loved everything the balayage, and haircut. Not just that had a great chat with her. Very nice person. Thank you!!!! read more

I recently found Sekina after searching for a hair dresser near my place of work... I was pleasantly surprised and happy to enter her cute little studio inside the hair salon. I love the privacy. Sekina is very kind, friendly and knowledgeable. I only did a hair cut and deep conditioner during my 1st visit. I am growing out a pixie so in just a few more months I will begin more color. I am so excited to come back to see her again. Thanks Sekina! read more

Sekina is great. I always leave her chair feeling wonderful. She's super sweet, great listener and actually has conversation with you. She cares about her clients and builds a relationship with them. I was blessed to find her on yelp. I needed a Brazilian blowout and needed someone real good. Someone who knows how to work a lot of hair thats super curly. This was the girl!!!! She really took the time on my hair and did a thorough job. My hair was straight and it lasted. She's my new go to girl for Brazilian blowouts and for regular blow outs. She's all around great at what she does. read more

Ok if you are thinking of using sekina, stop thinking and just do it. I am someone who never knows what to do when it comes to hair, but Sekina was able to really identify what I was looking for by patiently looking at pictures with me, and pointing out small things that helped me figure out exactly what I was wanting. And here is the craziest part.... I had an emergency come up about an hour into putting in foils and so she was so sweet and so nice about the whole thing. We had to problem solve about how to proceed with the apt as I pretty much had to leave immediately AND I was leaving out of the country that night. she is AMAZING and despite having to leave, she still managed to do what she needed to do so that I walked out looking fabulous. I cannot speak highly enough of her, both as human being and hairstylist. I am so grateful to her kindness and I am so glad that I found her. read more

Not the best experience unfortunately. I scheduled my appointment 3 months in advance to prepare my hair for my wedding and a week before the wedding Sekina cancelled my appointment. I rescheduled for a few days before the wedding but I was a little concerned going so close before the big day. When I showed up for my appointment she had me wait for 40 minutes (didn't text me or let me know ahead of time she was running late). Then I ended up with really light platinum blonde highlights where I specifically said I wanted more of a golden blond look. She told me it's just me seeing it lighter in comparison to my root that was getting darker...when I got home and looked in the mirror in the back of my head there were blotchy white spots on my hair and lines from the foils were showing very prominently. I started panicking since it was 3 days before my wedding and texted Sekina immediately. She said she couldn't get me in for a couple days and didn't offer being flexible with her schedule knowing I was super stressed about it and also refused to give me a refund. I was crying all night and didn't know what to do but ended up finding another salon that was willing to get me in the next day before they opened to helped me fix this mess on my head. I would NOT recommend this salon. Both work quality and customer service suck. I usually don't go out of my way to leave negative reviews, but I didn't want anyone else to have to encounter similar issues. Take your business elsewhere. read more

Sekina is a the best in OC! I have had my hair cut, colored, and extensions done with her since 2009. It's so hard to find a stylist that sets themselves apart from th rest. She keeps me educated on the latest trends and i can trust her with my more mature clients too. She always will give her opinion on an age appropriate style and color for your hair. My hair has also grown since I've been going to her. She always makes sure Im using the right products for my long, slightly unmanageable hair. read more

Sekina is a total sweetheart and an incredible stylist! She always does exactly what I ask, but has good input and suggestions if I need it. I'm always happy with my hair, and look forward to our next appt! read more

I went to Sekina for partial highlights and haircut with a groupon. I waited for 3 weeks to write this review as hair naturally looks awesome when you step out of the salon. Sekina does have amazing skills and is very knowledgeable. She gave the same amount of time and energy as she would have given to a regular customer. I have been to many hairstylists but Sekina was the only one who understood what I am seeking and gave me a fantastic short bob. I will definitely be coming back!! Everybody is in love with my new hair! Thank you Sekina! read more

Sekina is the best! She's knowledgable about many different kinds of hair and keeps up to date on trends and techniques. I came to her with severe breakage issues and now my hair is healthier than ever. Would highly recommend. read more

Sekina does an amazing job! I have hired her for everything including day of bridesmaids, music video, award shows and photo shoots. Style wise she can do it all. She is very professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her for any job. read more

I loved my experience with Sekina! She was so sweet and accommodating. Most importantly she was great at what she does! I was frantically looking for a someone to install my extensions last minute because my stylist canceled on me. I am so glad she did! Sekina did what she could to fit me in and did an awesome job! I will definitely be coming back read more

If you want high quality, natural-looking extensions, look no further. Sekina takes the time during her consultation to tell you about the options and pricing and is very flexible with scheduling appointments. She also gives you great advice on which products to use to make your extensions last. Sekina is always available to answer any questions or concerns I have, and I fly down from San Francisco to see her. read more

Sekina is by far one of the most talented hairstylists I know, and I know quite a few. Because I had major damage from a hair treatment gone bad I was referred to Sekina. We opted for hair extensions and my hair grew out healthy and strong with regular trims and much tlc from Sekina. I no longer need hair extensions and my hair has never looked or felt healthier. And Sekina is the best Blow Dry Stylist ever! read more

Sekina did an awesome job on my Brazilian blowout. I totally took a gamble on her based on the awesome Yelp reviews. And it definitely paid off. I just moved to the area and wasn't sure where to go but now I found someone that takes pride in their work. My last stylist was really good at her work but wasn't very personable , well with Sakina you get both!!! read more

I found Sekina on Groupon and stalked her yelp and instagram, and based on her reviews I decided to just do it!! Best decision EVER. This girl is a balayage master!!! I've never had a hair stylist be so friendly and easy to talk to while they work magic on your hair. I'm moving to the Santa Barbara area soon, but might be making trips down just to get my hair done by her!! My hair is exactly how I wanted it. read more
