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!
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!
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 with my hair super damaged from the sun and I haven’t done my highlights in 7 months. Elsa literally brought my hair back to life. She did an amazing job. Elsa was very careful and patient since my process takes so many hours. Excellent results! All the staff were very attentive. Tina also was very kind and…
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!!
Caroline did my color correction from black box dye to this beautiful brown with NO bleach. My hair feels so healthy, and the color is exactly what I wanted. Also did a great blow dry on my thick curly hair. All the staff were extremely kind, would definitely recommend!
Had such a great experience! Everyone was so kind / attentive, and I loved how my hair turned out. Thank you to Elsa and Tina!!
Elsa is phenomenal. Her technique and attention to detail are incredible. I walked out with beautiful, dimensional hair that looks so natural and luxurious.
Best hair salon by far. I got hair highlighting with daisy and she was amazing. She gave me the results that I wanted and was super sweet and kind always asking me if I needed anything. She has a lot of expertise in hair. 10/10 recommend
Oksana is wonderful! She takes her time, listens, and does excellent work. The atmosphere is elegant yet friendly. You should come here and ask for Oksana.
✨ 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,…
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!!
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!
Caroline is a masterful stylist and colorist who brings both artistry and professionalism to every appointment. Her warmth and genuine care for her clients make the experience as enjoyable as the results are stunning.
I went on a Friday afternoon and it was busy! But Taylor took so much time to make sure that every detail of my haircut was perfect. O absolutely love how it turned out and would 100% recommend him as stylist!
This is my second time seeing Elsa and she never disappoints. I usually get long layers and a trim with a blow out. She’s very skilled and knows how to cut my curly hair well! I’ll continue coming back to see her!
I came in on a Thursday to get a color correction balayage with taylor and it was absolutely beautiful,The service was not only extraordinary but the stylists specifically make sure your time is spent comfortably and you leave feeling absolutely great I would 100% recommend this salon to anyone thinking about it -…
I am beyond satisfied with my experience and highly recommend Shear Bliss NYC Salon to anyone looking for fabulous hair and fantastic service! I really loved how Laura did my hair! She is very nice and talented and did a fabulous job. She really listened to what I wanted and made it happen. I will definitely come back here again!
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 my hair air touch method the results came out outstanding the staff and learning students very caring they listen exactly what u want and deliver amazing results I’m extremely happy thank you guys 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Laura is amazing! She really listened to what I wanted and made my hair look even better than I imagined. My hair feels healthier, looks beautiful, and I’ve been getting so many compliments. Highly recommend her if you want someone you can truly trust with your hair!
Lana did an amazing job 💯
Just went to Shear Bliss for the first time for a highlight and hair cut. Laura is amazing! My hair has never looked this good. And everyone who works there is so nice. I will definitely be a repeat customer!
Adela is an expert at color! She did a fabulous job with my hair. I came in with 3 months grown out yellow blonde hair, and she fixed my hair with full blonde highlights and toner. Shear Bliss is my new favorite salon!
Taylor is the BEST. I got a hair cut (with face framing for the first time) and a blowout with curls at the bottom and I’m simply obsessed. Best haircut of my life, only ever having Taylor do my hair from now on!!
I started getting my hair done with Taylor last year and each time he has delivered. He is extremely knowledgeable and always takes time to listen to what you want. Everytime I have gotten my hair done with him it has turned out amazing. He is an excellent hair stylist and I will continue to go to him.
Caroline gave me a fantastic haircut! The best I’ve had in many years! I have thick wavy hair and she did an outstanding job! I can’t wait to come back for color. The feel of the salon is really wonderful—-great vibe. Thank you Caroline!
I came in with very dry hair and dead ends. David completely transformed my hair. There is no frizz and it’s so shiny! Highly recommend coming here!
I came in for a balayage on dark hair and Melina did a wonderful job beginning with a thorough consultation. She took her time to ensure I was satisfied with the results and I am indeed very happy with the outcome! I have very thick hair that can be difficult to deal with but she did a fantastic job. I would…
Laura is a gem! She found the exact hair color I’ve been looking for and made it look effortless. She’s efficient, skilled, and has such a great eye for color. I left feeling confident and super happy with my hair. I’ll definitely be returning for my touch-up—couldn’t recommend her more!
Caroline, did a whole "makeover" something I REALLY needed and absolutely nailed it! Fabulous work, fast and very attentive! HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!
I’ve been a loyal client for 10 years, and Lana has never disappointed. She takes such great care of my hair — it stays long, healthy, and radiant. Even with my naturally dark brown hair, she always gets my blonde just right. Highly recommend!
my aunt been going to Elsa for a couple years and I needed my hair color corrected and Elsa is wonderful , I had an amazing experience from the time I got there til the time I left. Thank you so much Elsa see you in 2 months :)!!
Had a great experience at Shear Bliss salon with Laura. Have been going to her for 3 years and she does an amazing job every time. She is extremely attentive, talented, and knowledgeable and does all she can to accommodate requests and any specifics to your hair type. Highly recommend Laura for anyone looking for a great stylist in NYC.
Melina is absolutely amazing. She did my highlight and the results were stunning. She's so sweet patient and truly cares about making your hair look beautiful and healthy. I left feeling , confident refresh, and so happy with my new look highly recommend Melina.
Was in NYC for a show and needed a blowout and straightening, as one does and, as luck would have it, was scheduled with Michelle. She was gracious and charming, very attentive to my wishes, but also shared her expertise and opinion, so that I could improve hair care on my own as well. Absolutely a pleasure to visit…
I went to Shear Bliss today to see Caroline. I’ve been going to Caroline for color/cut/blow outs for over 10 years. She is simply the best. She’s a master colorist and gets it right every single time. I will never go to anyone else for my hair. I have long, thick, wavy hair and she knows exactly how to handle it everytime. She. Is. The. GOAT.
Everyone knows once you find a good salon with perfect stylists you never go elsewhere and this place is definitely that! Taylor fixed my blunt blond job and blended it so beautifully that I had to come back when I made the choice to go red. They know what they’re doing and Taylor especially has great instincts on…
My hair is incredible. I came into the salon with only a rough idea in mind and that was all. Elsa literally gave me a better hair do than I could have imagined for myself. The color, cut and layering are perfect. Thankyou so much for making me look incredible <3
What an incredible salon!!! Exceptional service. Sometimes I can sit in salons all day but this didn’t take too long. Professional work. Thank you Taylor! Can’t recommend enough!
I’ve been coming to Shear Bliss for over 5 years and I’ve always had the best experiences here. Oksana and Franchesa are a fantastic team and I always leave the salon thrilled with the way my hair turned out. Can’t recommend them enough!
Daisy was wonderful! She did such a wonderful job bringing me back to blonde. She was such a wonderful, nice human as well.
I asked for a very specific haircut and was convinced to get something else. When asked “what do you think?” I suggested more layers and still didn’t get what I asked for. It seemed like I was thrown the least desired hair dresser who didn’t know what she was doing. Unfortunately, I will not be back.
Oksana is absolutely amazing! I feel so lucky to have found her. She truly listens to what I want and always delivers exactly what I’m envisioning — often even better. I’ve never left her chair feeling anything less than thrilled. I get so many compliments on my hair after every visit — the color, the cut, the…
I received a haircut on Saturday, with Stella, and she did an incredible job. My hair is chin length—I told her I wanted an angled bob and she knew exactly what to do. Throughout the day and at an event that evening, I received so many compliments on my hair because of Stella's vision and skill. I will definitely be back :)
This is my 4th time coming to Shear Bliss and every time I had a great experience. I booked with Mia twice recently and she was so kind and patient with me. I saw her IG account of her work and really liked how she did layers so when I told her what I wanted for my haircut, she talked me through what worked best for…
Taylor is incredible - love my new hair! Refreshed highlights, did balayage and a fresh haircut. Perfect blonde for summer
I went in as a last minute request! I had an emergency that required a wash and blowdry! They accommodated me last minute. Both Michelle’s were wonderful and my stylist Michelle did an amazing job styling my hair, truly the best blowdry service I’ve had in a while. My hair has so much sheen and softness! I have…
Mia is fabulous as a stylist and colorist! She worked with me to correct my color and I absolutely love it. She is so lovely and accommodating- love the salon! .
Marina was the best!
Loved my experience!! Very smooth process. I came in for balayage with Elsa and left exactly (actually even better) than what I was hoping for. She want the team were great; made my hair color look so natural!
Got a same day appointment with Michelle and had an amazing experience. I got exactly what I wanted and everyone was incredibly professional and courteous. I will be returning for my next haircut.
I have dark hair and wanted to lighten it but didn't want to deal with touching it up often and Elsa suggested doing a balayage for low maintenance. After trying to find a shade that would work, Elsa worked her magic. I felt like a new person. Thank you Elsa!
Came for a balayage with Elsa, left very happy with my results. I also got a fresh cut and a treatment. My hair looks healthier than ever. I love the atmosphere of this salon, everyone is helping each other and always busy. Can’t wait to go back.
Got a haircut from Taylor who was great. He recommended I get hair glossing done which turned out so good. My hair looks amazing!
Christine Motroni is INCREDIBLE! I was visiting from Colorado and found reviews about this salon that were great so I took a risk and booked the appointment. I showed a picture to Christine that I also showed to a very fancy salon in my hometown that didn’t quite give me the look I was looking for. Christine totally…
Adela is honestly the best! She was attentive, listened carefully to my concern and what I wanted and she just exceeded my expectations. She makes sure you are comfortable, and tells you honestly will work best without damaging your hair. Honestly if you have been thinking of doing something new to your hair or just…
I had a wonderful experience at Shear Bliss and definitely recommend it. From the moment I walked in, the receptionist was incredibly warm and made me feel welcomed. I came in for a brunette caramel balayage, and Laura, my stylist, exceeded my expectations. She took the time to listen carefully to what I wanted,…
Laura was great! I’m loving my haircut- 10/10. Thank you again ❤️
After having a very bad hair experience in college I was very careful in finding my next salon. And then I found Shear Bliss! It’s been many years now and I keep going back to Oksana! They are incredible and are able to give you exactly what you’d want! I’d recommend them to anyone looking for their new salon! Amazing vibe and great service!
