I Look Forward To Styling Lady Gaga

Ever wondered how celebrities have perfect looking tresses all the time? It’s the hairstylists who manage everything from cut and colour to style and texture of celebs and get them ready to take on the world. International Sebastian Professional Expert Omar Antonio from San Francisco is one such hair expert who’s known for his trendsetting and extraordinary skills in the hair industry. Omar’s artistic background consists of fashion design, drawing, sketching, painting, and of course hair and make-up. A proud owner of ‘ME’, an Omar Antonio Salon in Benicia, California, he does beautiful colour, precision haircuts, extensions, and everything in between. But on stage is where his true talent and passion shine.

Omar was discovered by Sebastian in 2004 and was introduced to the artistic team led by Robert Lobetta, after which he freelanced with the team for two years. “That experience was one that words cannot explain. I travelled the globe doing numerous runway shows, fashion weeks, photoshoots and inspiring thousands of hairdressers around the world,” he says.

During his recent visit to India, we met up with the esteemed hairstylist and got an insight into his world of hairstyling, as well as his thoughts on what inspires him and keeps him going and about the biggest trends of 2019. Excerpts from the interview:
