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.
Laura did an exceptional job with my hair. I showed her an inspo pic of the color I wanted and she made it happen exactly how I wanted. I am so happy with the experience! Will be going back for sure.
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 !
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.
Taylor was fantastic! She understood the look I was going for immediately and somehow made it even better than I imagined. Definitely coming back.
David is incredibly talented. Professional, knowledgeable, and so precise with his work. My hair has never looked this polished.
Stella gave me the most beautiful transformation. She has an amazing eye for detail and made sure everything was perfect before I left.
Laura made my entire appointment feel effortless. She listened carefully, gave r great recommendations, and my hair turned out absolutely gorgeous.
I had such a beautiful experience with Lana. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and the final result was sophisticated, polished, and exactly what I wanted.
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 had the best experience with Caroline! She color corrected my hair and added a row of extensions, and I genuinely couldn’t be happier with the results.She is incredibly talented, so sweet, funny, and made the entire appointment such a fun experience. I felt completely comfortable in her chair, and you can tell she…
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…
I came in with a botched balayage after getting my hair done elsewhere for years, and I’m so grateful I found this salon. Adela took the time to do a thorough consultation, listened carefully to exactly what I wanted, and created a plan to fix my hair while keeping it healthy. She was so patient, detail-oriented,…
This was great! Got hair done here and they were so diligent and got the exact look I wanted :)
Huge Thanks to Lana and her crew for an amazing experience! I had an amazing experience at this salon! I spent nearly six hours there as a student model, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The two instructors who worked on my hair were incredibly talented, patient, and detail-oriented. They completely…
Today I had my haircut with Taylor and also did a semi permanent gloss treatment! I was looking for a solution to cover some grey hairs but didn’t want to start with permanent dye. I had never dyed or colored my hair before so I was very nervous but Taylor was very reassuring and understanding. He did an amazing job…
This salon is SO wonderful and Elsa did an incredible job with my hair!! Color, cut, and the best service. Staff is also ridiculously sweet. Can’t believe this gem is so close in the neighborhood. Will definitely be back for more with Elsa and Shear Bliss!!!
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
Mia is amazing! She made my hair so beautiful and from now on I'm only using her. Thank you Mia!😘
I started working with Oksana to color and cut my hair. She is amazing! I started graying a few years ago and always loved my natural color, yet every hair colorist I went too could never get it right (always too dark, too red, grew out bad) until Oksana! My hair looks amazing - it’s exactly the color I wanted ,…
Laura is fantastic!! Have been coming here for years, truly never disappoints.
Michelle is amazing! First time there, came in for a trim and she brought my hair back to life. Great service all around
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.
Mia fixed a truly horrible highlight job I had done at another salon. She really took the time to understand what I wanted and knew exactly how to execute. This was my first time at Shear Bliss and I will definitely be going back! Thank you Mia!!!
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!
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!
Stella is an amazing hairstylist! Her hands are truly magic. I came in with all white hair from not having time to take care of it, and she transformed it into something beautiful, just like she always does. Thank you, Stella — you are truly the best!”
Daisy was wonderful! She did such a wonderful job bringing me back to blonde. She was such a wonderful, nice human as well.
I usually don't write reviews (because lazy) but the service here was so exceptional that I can't gatekeep. This isn't a highlight job, it's a labor of love! I came in with very damaged hair. I was training for an ultramarathon and more running means more sweating means more frequent washing. My colorist Mia gave my…
Another visit (orange dress): I had a wedding this weekend and Taylor was kind enough to fit me into his morning so I could refresh my color (Color Gloss, cut, blow dry). So happy and thankful he helped me ahead of the festivities. Another perfect result, can’t recommend Taylor and this salon enough! :) 2nd visit…
I had the most amazing experience here! Adela you are a genius, thank you so much for bringing my hair back to life! Your expertise really shows!!!
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…
Elsa did an amazing job on my hair she delivered everything I asked for, couldn’t be happier ! Thank you Elsa your the best
Laura did magic with my hair. I found this salon on Instagram and fell in love with Laura's work but also all of the wonderful colorist here. The salon was so welcoming, clean, warm and just very friendly. They had lots going on and all were so kind and helpful. Laura is so talented and amazing and I am so glad I…
Had an amazing experience with the beautiful Emily. She brought me back to my natural color after bleaching for years. So friendly, so sweet, and so so easy to work with. Helped me gain my confidence. Will be coming back for my girl Emily.
I’ve gone to Shear Bliss three times now and every time, I leave feeling like every penny spent was worth it! Yesterday I did a balayage cut and blow with Elsa and loved every second of my experience!!!! From the girl who assisted her Kamilla to all the ladies working there. They treat you like family and Elsa…
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…
Over the past year, I’ve visited Shear Bliss for multiple services (single process, highlights, haircut, blowout) and Taylor always takes great care of me. He’s reliable and consistent—he listens to what I’m looking for, makes recommendations, and is careful to maintain the health of my hair. Upon request, he’s…
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…
