Antin was a student at the Fairfax Beauty Academy, and quickly landed a job at a trendy West Hollywood salon. After many years of working his way up the ladder, Antin was able to purchase the salon, where he charged $500 for a haircut.

Antin and his wife Sescie have two sons, Asher and another child, whom they announced they had conceived on April 12, 2007. Antin is the brother of pop group the Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin, director Steve Antin, and actor Neil Antin.

In 2004, he appeared as a judge of that year's Miss Teen USA Pageant, and in January of the same year he appeared in an episode of Bravo's makeover show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. During the first season of Work Out, Antin appeared in the final episode and gave a haircut and straight razor shave to Jackie Warner.
