Shear Bliss NYC Salon for curly hair

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!
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!
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!
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!
After getting my hair butchered at a different salon, Caroline totally saved my hair and I couldn’t be more grateful! When I came in my layers were in chunks, my color was striped, uneven, multicolored, and extremely brassy. Caroline was able to clean up and even out my layers, and fix and blend my color seamlessly.…
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!
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…
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…
Elsa did a fabulous job in color correcting my hair challenge. I appreciate her customer service, dedication, and art. I highly recommend her.
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…
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!! 🫶🏼🎀
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!!!!
I love everything about this place! The customer service is amazing. Elsa did my hair, and she took care of it like no one else ever has. I was afraid to get a balayage again, but she gave me the confidence to try it. She didn’t damage or break my hair—instead, she brought it back to life.
Laura was great! I’m loving my haircut- 10/10. Thank you again ❤️
Stella and the entire staff here are incredible! I’ve been seeing her for three years and I couldn’t be happier. Every time I come in she does something different to elevate my look. I get so many compliments when I leave the salon. Trust Stella, she will give you amazing hair! I get highlights, coloring, and…
If you live in NYC and haven't gone to Arsen, you are missing out! All the other reviews about him are correct - he really does take his time to listen to what you want and brainstorms with you the various options available to your specific hair needs, formulates the colors to a T (even does tests to make sure they…
Have been here twice now. First time I saw Lana for a haircut, she did a fantastic job. I have extremely curly hair that I wear only curly so getting a stylist that understands curls is super important. Lana did a great job. Second time I came to get balayage and a cut with Arsen - he is a fantastic colorist, I…
Taylor have done an amazing job with my hair before my hair was very unhealthy and now even though I have went from brown to a lighter blonde my hair looks healthy. He was very descriptive with how my hair was gonna look later and what is best for my hair and that was very nice of him I would recommend coming to…
