Sebastian cut my hair for the first time. I LOVE it! I had a good feeling about him when Hudson Styling Co. sent a message that he hailed from New York City, so I tried him out! I’m glad I did. He gave me a very cute layered bob! And he’s a sweetheart, too! I’ll definitely be back for another one of his cuts.

Hi Everyone, I am new to Michigan, going on my 4th week here and I was so nervous to find a new hairstylist I could trust… run to book with Sebastian. Sebastian is so kind and respectful,He asked questions about what I wanted and preferred, he was very detailed in explaining what he was doing to my hair and making me feel comfortable. I changed my color from blonde highlights to a light brown and I left walking out the salon so confident and happy with my results. I will Continue to book with Sebastain and I am so thankful that I met him! Thanks Sebastian.
