Amanda was amazing!! So nice and my hair turned out great!! She knew exactly how to make my hair look the best it could.
Amanda did an amazing job with my haircut and blowout! I came in a little nervous but I showed her my inspo pics and she understood and delivered better than I could imagine! Would recommend to anyone looking for a new hair stylist!!!!!!
Hala did a wonderful job blow drying my hair! Was very happy with my experience. I booked appointment 1 hr before coming in
Hala was incredible. I came in after a bad hair frying accident and she was so helpful getting my hair to look amazing when I was feeling blue. I recommend her for your blowouts and treatments!
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.
Highly recommend this spot for all hair types and styles! Elsa was amazing and fixed my hair bleaching nightmare and got me confident in myself again! Everyone should definitely get their next hair appointment here!
OKSANA is amazing. I have never been happier with my hair color. She is consistent. And I walk out of the salon very happy. My color is perfect and blowouts are always the way I like it. I would highly recommend her
I am had the most amazing and life changing experience after my very first visit with my favorite stylist Daisy. I had extremely white naturally gray roots that I grew out for about 3 months and the length was a mix of brown black permanent dye with later henna and indigo on top, because I had an allergy reaction to…
Had an incredible first time experience at this salon. Came in for color and a cut. I was very impressed with the skill and service that my stylist, Melina, provided. She was very knowledgeable and really went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience. Super professional and talented. I would highly…
I got my hair colored and blown out by Maria and she was amazing!!!! She gave me the perfect cherry cola color and a gorgeous blowout!
Elsa is beyond talented. She absolutely transformed my hair and I could not be happier with it. I have been to many hair stylists in NYC and none compare to Elsa.
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 absolutely love my hair! The color turned out beautiful, and the cut is exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much for the amazing work Elsa! 🤍✨
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!
Daisy did my hair beautifully again, just like she always does! She never misses and I’m always so happy with how my hair turns out. She’s truly the best!!
Had a great time with Taylor today. He took his time to do my hair without damaging it. I would definitely come back
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!
I had a very challenging hair color situation. Some of my hair was gray, some was red and I had several different shades throughout my hair. Then I found Lana, and she is truly a magician! She mixed several different colors, used toners, and worked her magic on my hair. The final result was amazing. My hair looked…
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.
This is an update to my previous review. I have been a regular at Shear Bliss since 2023 and I am still very happy. All of the staff is friendly, professional and respectful. I see Taylor for color gloss, haircuts, and blowouts. He consistently delivers and goes above and beyond every time without exception. He is…
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.
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
Update: Another season passed and I love, love my new hair cut by Mia. Please book her for your next appointment as you won’t regret it!! I've been coming to this salon for two years, and Mia is my go-to stylist! She understands my hair type, listens carefully to what I want, and offers subtle yet expert…
I have been going to Oksana at Shear Bliss for years and absolutely love her!!! She has never failed in giving me the perfect haircut. I even came back to her in the city when I moved to NJ because she’s that great. Highly suggest!!
Leaving the salon with a fresh haircut by Elsa, she is amazing!! Finally found my go to place in NYC!
This was my first time at this Salon. Was very busy however Elsa is very welcoming and really listened to what I wanted. She was very professional and easy to talk to at the same time. She did not rush me or any step of the process. I will absolutely be booking more haircut with her.
Oksana is the best! I change my hair color quite often and she knows what I like and gives suggestions that are spot on. The entire staff is top notch and I am always offered coffee, tea or water while I am getting my hair done. Highly recommend Shear Bliss and especially Oksana!
This was great! Got hair done here and they were so diligent and got the exact look I wanted :)
Taylor did an amazing job on my color and style! Great experience and service. All hands on deck from Taylor, Caroline & Tina!’
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
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!
Taylor is the best!!!!! He does the best haircuts and the best blowouts ever!!!!!
Taylor gave amazing haircut. I am so satisfied. I recommend all of you to go to him.
Really happy with how my caramel balayage turned out by Laura! My hair feels so healthy and blended beautifully, and the overall color is super pretty. Everyone there was also so sweet and welcoming 💕
I had a wash, blow dry, and cut with David, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. I arrived a bit early, and they kindly offered to get me started early, which I really appreciated. I had extremely long hair that I hadn’t cut in about a year, and David managed to shape and style it so beautifully.…
Daisy is the best! I’ve been coming to her for 4 years now as she is the only one I trust with my hair. Nobody listens to me better and does exactly what I want. It gets better everytime. I’ve had both balayage and highlights by Daisy and my hair comes out perfect everytime. I’ve always had issues with my hair not…
Caroline is a chemist & magician!! She took my dry and dull hair to shiny and new again, she is an artisan colorist. The salon is clean and comfortable, staff are friendly, and cannot praise Caroline enough!
I had been getting my hair done with Daisy for over 4 years and couldn’t be happier! Whether it’s color or keratin or just a cut, I always leave Shear Bliss feeling like my most beautiful self! Daisy is so thoughtful and pays so much attention to detail — she is an absolute artist when in comes to color! Everyone in…
Had the most amazing haircut and blow dry by Laura! I got long layers with face framing in the front. She did such a wonderful job, I love my new hair!
ELSA WAS AMAZING! She somehow did exactly what I wanted with minimal direction. Crushed layers and made me feel like a new person. So happy with this choice!!! Will definitely be back
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!
Melina did a great job with my color cut. She’s super friendly and I appreciate her professional advice. I will certainly be back again
Laura is one of the best stylists! I’m very picky and she does a great job every time
If you have trust issues when it comes to your hair- Elsa ELIMINATES THEM. I have not had a professional touch my hair in 10 years until finding Elsa today!!! She made me feel so heard and understood how important it was to me to keep my length. She cut off my dead ends, gave me super long layers/face framing pieces…
Elsa was amazing!!
Shear Bliss is an amazing salon. I have been coming here for 4 years and always go to Laura and she is the best!!! Everyone here is very nice very professional and lovely. Laura always cuts and blow dries my hair perfectly!!!!
Been to this salon several times since living in this area and am always so happy with the service! Elsa G. is especially great and just gave me the best haircut of my life! Totally worth it!
Laura is the best!! She did an amazing job and is so sweet.
I went to Elsa for a haircut and she was amazing!!! She is a pro and knows exactly what she is doing - I am so happy with the results. She is very friendly and communicative. She made me feel comfortable and even reached out to me after my appointment to make sure I was happy with the results. I will definitely be…
Mia is amazing! She made my hair so beautiful and from now on I'm only using her. Thank you Mia!😘
Been going there for 5 years now. Consistent, amazing hair gloss and haircuts !
David was amazing!!
David was AMAZING!!!! I usually don’t get my hair done due to traumatic experiences with past hairdressers in my area (Delaware) but this was truly such an amazing experience with him and I will definitely be back! My hair has never looked so perfect genuinely.
Great blowout with David!! Hair was gorgeous
David did my hair and he was so thoughtful and did Such an amazing job!
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 came in with terrible bleached chunky highlights from another salon and Adela was amazing and corrected it! She made them blend beautifully with my hair through a half head balayage and toners. My hair has beautiful caramel natural looking highlights throughout my dark base now. The blowout was also perfect!
Had such a great experience with Elsa! I went to her for the first time almost two weeks ago for a trim and a deep conditioning treatment. I told her I’m trying to grow out my hair and only wanted to trim the dead and she is the first hand dresser that listened and only took off how much was needed and nothing more!…
Laura went above and beyond to make the perfect haircut, highlights and colouring best suitable for me. I had the best experience and would greatly recommend Laura.
David was absolutely amazing, nailed the brief perfectly Will for sure be a return customer
This salon is amazing! Hala the Egyptian stylist gives me the best blow dry and style ever! Keeps my hair fresh for a week!!! Great service!
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!
David did an awesome job cutting my hair! Super meticulous. Highly recommend!
Michelle really took care of me! Gave me a really great cut and color. She really listened to what I wanted. I highly recommend her 😊
Laura is fantastic!! Have been coming here for years, truly never disappoints.
So happy with my color and cut here! Adela was so helpful in helping me decide what was best for my hair and did such an amazing job! Thank you!!
Michelle did a cut and blow dry for me! It was amazinggggg! will def be coming back, great service and results.
Michelle gave me a lovely conditioning treatment and blow out! Great for curly hair
This is my second time at Shear Bliss and Taylor did such an amazing job with my hair. He listened to exactly what I wanted and exceeded expectations! I recommend seeing Taylor if you’re ever looking for a voluminous blowout! He’s also so fun to talk and the customer service was incredible.
Shear Bliss never disappoints!! David was great and gave me exactly what I wanted - a nice low maintenance trim while still keeping a good amount of length.
The absolute best experience with Caroline! From the beginning she listened to what I wanted, and gave me honest feedback about what would work (and what wouldn’t!). She was a complete magician in getting rid of the problem areas and creating the perfect grey blend that suited my color tone and style, and that would…
Michelle is the best. She always does a wonderful job with my haircut and blow outs. She even did a K18 treatment which made me my hair healthier and shinier. Would recommend going to Michelle
Oksana was absolutely AMAZINGGG. Nice conversationalist & completely made my vision come to life. LOVEEE ITTT
I went to Shear Bliss because I live across the street and needed a last-minute haircut—and I’m so glad I did. Mia gave me the most beautiful cut. She’s incredibly skilled with layers and bangs, and everything turned out exactly how I hoped. I highly recommend going here and asking for Mia! ❤️
Taylor is amazing! He did such a good job with my cut and blow out. Will definitely be back!
Laura S was great! She listened to exactly what I asked for and I loved the way my haircut came out! Everyone in this salon is always so friendly and does a great job.
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 :)!!
Let me start by saying I’m picky and I trust no one with my hair. I’ve been searching for someone who can both cut and color it properly, especially now that it’s gotten thinner as I’ve gotten older. This time around, I specifically wanted someone who understands how to work with that. I decided to try this place…
Love this salon! Best hair color and blowouts Accommodating with scheduling too!
Amazing haircut by Maria! Would definitely recommend
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.
Have been coming to see Lana for years. Her and her staff are amazing! She’s a color wizard and really listens to what you want while being honest about what can realistically be achieved. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a true professional whether doing keratin, color or a cut and blow dry.
Michelle is amazing! First time there, came in for a trim and she brought my hair back to life. Great service all around
⸻ This place is extremely overpriced, and the prices they give you upfront are completely different once you get to the register—much higher. Every time, the stylist blames the cashier for the overcharge. The blow-drying is consistently poor, and they don’t seem to know how to properly color hair (the color fades…
Michelle is fantastic! She is extremely professional, and take my words to deliver the perfect blowout I envisioned! Plus, she always gives me amazing advise/tips/tricks to keep my hair healthy in between my blowouts and haircuts. 10/10 - could not recommend more!
I got my hair done by Maria at the salon, and can I say she did a PHENOMENAL job! I got my hair done by another salon and and they completely did my color wrong and damaged my hair, where I came out with my roots a different color and hair having three ugly shades of blonde. MARIA IS A LIFE SAVER! She didn’t rush…
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.
David did my hair and it was perfect! I have 3c hair type and he was still able to get my hair super straight after blowing it out and flat ironing it. It lasted for two weeks and didn’t frizz quickly during the first. I enjoy the place and wil continue to go back to David for my hair.
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…
Mia has been cutting my hair for over 2 years and always does an amazing job! She has great attention to detail and is very personable. Would highly recommend.
I have trusted Mia at Shear Bliss with my hair for several years now and all my special occasions. I never walk out disappointed and I feel so confident after! She takes the time to understand my vision and makes sure to treat my hair with the utmost care — and she knows how to adapt it for my natural wavy hair. Book with Mia!! 🫶🏼🎀
I've been coming to Shear Bliss for the past several years to get my hair and balayage done from Taylor. He is amazing, talented and I always leave the salon feeling like a million bucks. Taylor really listens to what each client wants and always over delivers. Please don't leave NYC;) Thanks again for a gorgeous…
When I walked in, everyone was very welcoming. They asked if I wanted water or something to drink while I waited. After shampoo Michelle right away began on my hair ,then started working on the blowout and styling. She asked how I would like my hair done, what kind of style I preferred, and whether I wanted more…
Elsa is the sweetest. Cares about hair health while still achieving the end goal. Love her!!
This is the best salon ever! Maria who colored & styled my hair is incredible!! Besides being an extremely well skilled hair dresser ,she is so caring and really takes the time to understand ur needs & is so patient and sweet ! I absolutely loved the work she had done to my hair, the color is exactly what I wanted…
Everyone was so nice! Michelle knew exactly what I was looking to do to my hair and executed it perfectly. She also helped fix what I had tried to do on my own - and botched. It looks perfect now!! Thank you Michelle for the perfect color and amazing haircut!
Laura is amazing I’ve been coming here for almost 4 years and she always delivers. Laura makes sure she understands the vision and checks in to ensure both parties are envisioning the same color. Franchescha her assistant is equally as attentive. Thanks Shear Bliss for always giving confidence!
I’ve been going to Mia for a few years now and she is phenomenal!! She’s always consistent and does exactly what you ask. I’m so picky with my hair, especially the length/layers and she does an amazing job each time! Highly recommend Mia, she’s so sweet and you’ll always leave loving your hair.
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
Laura was so incredible!
I have been using.Caroline for many years and I highly recommend her!! She is a perfectionist and really aims to please her clients! The hair she gets for extensions is extremely high-quality and she is the best in the business !
10/10 experience with Elsa! Absolutely love how my hair came out. She took her time with my cut and gave a fabulous blow dry. I will defining be returning to Elsa!
I came to Laura so she could work a miracle—and she did. A few months ago, I got a terrible haircut in Chinatown, and they ruined my hair doing a Japanese straightening treatment. My ends were a mess, but I went to Laura, and she gave them shape without having to cut my hair super short. Now it looks healthy again.…
Laura was amazing!!! Loved it here!
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!
Had the best haircut and blowout experience with Taylor 😍😍😍😍😍. He did my long layers perfectly 🤩🤩🤩.
Laura was amazing! She gave me a long layer, face framing cut and it was a really great experience! I would definitely come back again
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!
I came to Elsa for help to fix my damaged hair and discolored highlights. She literally saved my hair, made my hair look good again, and made me feel good again. It was a big job and she stayed late after salon closing to finish. Elsa, I am very grateful, can’t wait to come back!!
Michelle gave me an amazing haircut and blow dry ! She is very talented and professional!
Jenn is amazing! Super sweet and attentive - my blowout came out smooth, bouncy, and healthy. I definitely recommend her!
Hidden gem and Maria is AWESOME! I stumbled upon Shear Bliss after searching for quality cuts at accessible rates in NY; I just recently moved back to the city and was searching for a new hairplace to test out but I can definitely say that I found the stylist & salon I'm going to stick with! Maria knows so much…
Seriously such a great salon! I didn’t have an appointment but they were still able to get me in right away. Everyone was super nice, Michelle did my hair and she did a stunning job! The coffee was also so good haha
Mia L is amazing! I love her technique and I always leave with the best haircut.
This was my first time here and I absolutely loved it!! Laura did an amazing job with the balayage and color consultation, and the hair cut. I 100% recommend!!!!
Elsa did a great job listening to what I want and recreating it perfectly! Love this salon ❤️
Taylor , he did good job , the color was amazing , I loved it.
Taylor did my haircut and was very precise and good and fast. He is getting my hair very healthy for my wedding and I would recommend!
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…
This was my first time here and Laura gave me an awesome haircut and made sure I loved it before letting me leave. I would recommend and come back!
