Sejong hair Salon

I’m really grateful for my haircut. I often walk out of a haircut session really doubtful of my new hair, and shrugging it off that it’s not the worse, but I walked out of this session here very happy with the end result. One thing Angela can improve on is communicating with me more frequently and discuss what kind of look I am hoping for with each section she is cutting. Since I am committing to short hair after years of really long hair around elbow length, going in was really nerve wracking for me, and I’m not the only person I know with hair cut anxiety. It would’ve been really helpful to just know what she was doing, and why she was doing it, and what kind of effect she was going for. I told her briefly how I wanted my bangs to look and that I was contemplating above shoulder length hair. Before I could process more about whether I really wanted that or stay with medium length hair just below collar bone, my hair was chopped short. Okay, since I was somewhat prepared to get short hair, it was easy to calm down and come to terms with where the direction was going in now. She then told me that she will wash, dry, and cut some more, and I said okay. Then when she was cutting, she took my bangs and again, before we could discuss what I am currently liking and how I hope it could turn out, I was getting curtain bangs. While I do like how they look, midway through the haircut, I was starting to like the no bangs, short hair look. It was a different look compared to having curtain bangs. But snip the scissors went, and there was no room to go back after the hair was severed. Thankfully, I do like the end result. But please understand that many people like me have lots of anxiety going into haircuts, and it’s okay if English is not their first language. Just do your best, communicate as best as you can. It can make a world of difference for clients and they can walk out with no doubt that this hair is what they wanted.

tl;dr - Angela and Amber are amazing at what they do. Book them now. I’m typically a hard critic especially when it comes to something that might affects my daily mood such a good or a bad haircut. To give you a reference, I live in San Francisco and even after exploring countless salons, I’ve yet to find a hairstylist that I can consistently trust. So whenever I get a chance to fly back to Vancouver, you know I’ll reserve Angela for the afternoon way ahead of time. She’s such a cute and sweet girl with a true passion for making you look good. I’ve been getting haircuts and perms with her for the past 3 years and I have ALWAYS been in love with myself when I leave. She takes her time and makes sure that every detail is perfect. I never have to second guess that she has my best interest in mind. Amber is another stylist that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting more recently and she’s helped my girlfriend with her bleaching, coloring and haircut. I personally did not realize how time and effort intensive it was to do all this and I made the mistake of waiting for her. Amber was so dedicated to giving my girlfriend the result that she wanted that she stayed until 8pm, despite the store closing at 6:30pm!! Amber then went even more above and beyond and even offered to help us do the color at another time free of charge because she wasn’t satisfied with her own work. We were already happy with the results at that point but she obviously had higher standards than us. Angela stayed with us that night until 8pm despite finishing way earlier and could have gone home but she stayed to help. Jesus, these people are absolute angels and definitely people that you can trust with your hair and your social life.

I’ve been to Sejong twice now, and both times were great! I wanted to switch to a different hairstyle and I felt that they did a great job cutting it to the hairstyle I was looking for. Very careful, and detailed. The shampoo and massage were definitely extra perks that were appreciated. The only downside is that it’s a little bit on the pricier side at $45 for a Male haircut.

I’m quite disappointed with my haircut here. I had mine with Amber and the reviews below were mostly great so I wanted to book with her! This is my second time at this salon and this time around I thought Amber was nice but for a $60+ haircut I was really hoping to not have to see that a small portion of my front bangs were cut super short while the other parts were normal length able to be wrapped around my ears. I’ll add a photo below as well.

employees were very friendly offered me drinks while i waited for my appointment. The stylist asked thorough questions on how i wanted my hair done for the best results and constantly checked up with me. The results were great as well i love how it turned out.

Hana is great! I drive out 45min just to come to this salon for a bang perm and trim. If you're looking for a korean style haircut or perm, this is the place to go!

Cut 25cm of my hair to donate. Angela was amazing!! She’s so detailed & nice. I’d trust her with my life for short haircuts

Been here twice for haircuts. Amber does an excellent job! She is very gentle and friendly. She always cuts and styles my hair the way I want my hair to look. Because Sejong is a popular salon, I would recommend booking morning reservations to avoid waiting.

Yubin is the best hair designer I ever met in Vancouver. Shes so professional and super trendy, TY!

Loved my hair cut done by Amber. She was so detailed and created a nice chill/friendly vibe too. I haven’t had much luck with getting the hairstyle I wanted at other hair salons, but Amber did it! One of my favourite hair cuts to dates and definitely coming back!
