The Life and Legacy of Hairstylist Jay Sebring Before the Manson Murders

On this episode of Our American Stories Jay Sebring was Hollywood’s most sought-after men’s hairstylist. At his Fairfax Avenue salon, Frank Sinatra came for a trim, Jim Morrison’s iconic look was shaped, and Bruce Lee trusted his image to the man behind the chair. Sebring turned men’s hair into fashion, helping launch a global industry. He was on the brink of an even bigger future when the Manson Family murders ended his life in the summer of 1969. His nephew, Anthony DiMaria, has spent years bringing Sebring’s story back into focus. He co-authored Jay Sebring: Cutting to the Truth with Marshall Terrill, and today, shares how Sebring rose to the top of Los Angeles style — and why his legacy is more than the crime that ended it.
