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.

Wow these guys and girls not only destroyed my hair after paying $900 I witnessed them made a women's hair fall out from bleach? All I can say is be careful and sort reviews from lowest to get honest opinions. The hair is actually too embarrassing to post. That is how bad it was. Not nice people either.

This place is AMAZING!! I had a really awful multicolored head of hair after moving to NY from CA and trying various hair salons in NY. I stumbled across Shear Bliss and had TAYLOR do my hair.
