I’m so happy with my hair! I went to Melina to fix my hair color, and she did an amazing job. She was very professional, kind, and attentive to every detail. She is truly wonderful at what she does, and I absolutely love how my hair turned out! Highly recommend her, she’s amazing!
This has been such a great experience. I care so much about health of my hair, but still wanted some color. And let me tell you!!!! LANA AND HER BLEACH-FREE BALAYAGE is the answer!!! Hair is soft after and you still get your perfect hair.
I got balayage with Taylor. Incredible technique, and understanding of color theory. He listened to me and gave me really good advice to achieve what I wanted. He was able to match the color to my skin tone/undertone so it wouldn’t wash me out. I will definitely be back!
I had my haircut and coloring done by Melina for the first time, and I’m so happy with the results! She was friendly, professional, and really took the time to understand what I wanted. I absolutely love how my hair turned out—the color and haircut are exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you, Melina, for making my…
I absolutely loved my experience at this salon! I originally thought I was going to need bleach to get the color I wanted but they explained that I actually didn’t need it and I’m so glad I listened to them! My hair came out even better than I expected and I’m genuinely so happy with the results. It was bleach FREE…
I had a wonderful experience at the salon as a hair model for a balayage. The salon is in a very convenient location, and I arrived a little early. Tina welcomed me so warmly and was very friendly and helpful. Then Elena arrived, who was doing my hair, and she was such a sunshine! ☀️ She was incredibly kind,…
Amazing salon! Very well organized and professional, upbeat staff with top notch client treatment and even hospitality! Always five star outcomes, whether it comes to hair cuts, color, highlights, or Brazilian blowouts . They are on trend and use top notch product. Shoutout to Stella, she is amazing !
I came in with yellow hair from a terrible appointment elsewhere. Elsa talked through how realistically it would be difficult to fix, but the outcome was amazing. Elsa and Ola really looked after me. Im really grateful my hair was fixed!!
Daisy was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is so informative about the process for my hair! She was careful to keep my hair healthy, but still got me my desired results! She will be my go to stylist from here on out!
Had such a great experience! Everyone was so kind / attentive, and I loved how my hair turned out. Thank you to Elsa and Tina!!
I finally found the perfect hairstylist! Mia at Shear Bliss did an amazing job on my balayage and keratin treatment. She's super sweet, professional, and I'm completely in love with my hair. The salon itself is great too, welcoming and well run. Mia's my go-to now. Highly recommend booking with her!
Such a gorgeous salon and an amazing team. Lace and Lana are true artists, and you can feel the level of professionalism throughout Shear Bliss.
Elsa is phenomenal. Her technique and attention to detail are incredible. I walked out with beautiful, dimensional hair that looks so natural and luxurious.
Incredibly happy with my results. Lana the owner is super knowledgeable and I felt very understood while she was training my hair technician (also named Lana). The space is nice and clean. Highly recommend for color jobs.
I had a phenomenal experience with Taylor. I had never dyed my hair before and he was absolutely wonderful from making me feel at ease to advising me. I have thin black hair and he gave me a no bleach balyage that makes me feel beyond summer ready. Ill definitely be coming back to him!
My bleach free balayage with Taylor was spectacular! He took the time to listen and ensure the color fit me best as well as did not damage my curly hair
✨ I cannot recommend Oksana at Shear Bliss enough! She gave me the best haircut and balayage of my life—and that’s saying something after 35 years! 🤩 From the moment I sat in her chair, she really listened to what I wanted, gave thoughtful advice, and absolutely nailed the look. The balayage is flawlessly blended,…

I came to this academy as a hair model, and I had such a great experience. From the moment I walked in, everyone made me feel comfortable and welcomed.

I absolutely loved my experience with Caroline! I came in with completely virgin hair and wanted a very natural, minimal change, not anything too dramatic. Caroline really listened to what I wanted and hit the sweet spot perfectly. My hair still feels healthy, looks shiny, and the subtle dimension is exactly what I…

Had an amazing experience with Elsa. She did an incredible job with my chocolate brown balayage (without bleach!!) and cut/refresh. Everyone at the salon was also so kind and helpful. Will absolutely be coming back!!
Daisy is exceptional! I hadn’t had my hair done in over a year, and she completely brought it back to life. Her skill and confidence with balayage made me feel so comfortable throughout the appointment. The result looks and feels expensive, while still being soft and natural. I absolutely love it, and I can already tell it’s going to grow out beautifully.
Laura is amazing and was able to fix my very botched balayage from another salon! I showed her a reference photo and she matched the color perfectly. Whole salon staff is very welcoming and kind!
I did an air touch balayage with Caroline. She did an amazing job! I love it!! I showed her my inspo picture and she did it perfectly. Her personality is also amazing. She is super sweet and patient
Scheduled an appointment as a first time customer with Taylor and the experience was great. Taylor made great recommendations on how to take care of my hair after the color, was very attentive and friendly. I am for sure coming back again!
Laura S. is incredibly talented. My blonde looks like it did when I was a child, which is what I’m always aiming for. Natural and healthy. She is so precise with each strand of hair, ensuring my hair isn’t damaged. I love how much of a perfectionist she is when it comes to color and cut. She is a true artist. She is…
Elsa did a great job at taking my dark brunette hair to blonde/bronde balayage - would definitely come back!
My results are exactly what I asked for! I was taken care of by Lana’s student, Susy at the salon and she was absolutely phenomenal. I was able to watch Lana mentor her student every step of the way, while allowing Susy to add her special touch to it. I highly recommend!
I have gone to dozens of different salons and seen so many different stylist in my years of getting my hair colored: Shear Bliss is by far the best salon I’ve been to and Daisy is the most amazing stylist I’ve seen. My hair always comes out exactly how i want and she takes her time to make sure my vision comes to life. I can’t recommend her enough!

Four years going to Shear Bliss — Daisy nails the color and cut every time. Love the attention to detail and care shown to each client ✨✨
I did bleach free balayage, amazing results! Great customer service, everyone is attentive. Lana is very experienced and explains throughly the entire process. If you want top service go to this place!
I came in with brassy hair wanting a balayage, and I was a bit concerned because my hair tends to get damaged easily. My stylist Elsa really took the time to understand that and made sure we approached everything carefully. She even did a strand test first to confirm my hair could handle the bleach, which I really…
Taylor did a balayage on me and it turned out exactly how I wanted it. Super happy with the results and Taylor himself - so professional!
