Amanda was amazing!! So nice and my hair turned out great!! She knew exactly how to make my hair look the best it could.
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!
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 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…
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 such a great experience! Everyone was so kind / attentive, and I loved how my hair turned out. Thank you to Elsa and Tina!!
Had a great time with Taylor today. He took his time to do my hair without damaging it. I would definitely come back
Really happy with my experience! Lana did my haircut and highlights without bleach, and the result is exactly what I wanted: soft, natural, sun-kissed highlights with no brassy or copper tones. Highly recommend her! Max finished with a beautiful round-brush blowout. The salon has a friendly atmosphere, and the…
I got my hair done with oksana and I highly recommend her. She has hands of gold no joke I was very worried to let anyone touch. She understood my version of what I wanted and did a fantastic job.
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
Elsa was AMAZING and meticulous with my semi-complicated dye request. It turned out PERFECT, 10/10!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.
Best blonde highlights ever. My hair is healthy and shiny. Must go if in NYC!
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.
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,…
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!
Elsa is my present stylist at Shear Bliss NYC. She recently did a wonderful work in my hair. I have long curly hair. Covering the grays and getting nice warm blond highlights, normally are my biggest concerns/requests. Elsa carefully listened to me and took time to find the best technique, process and color, while…
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…
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.
Horrific experience and by far the worst salon experience I have had in my life. I went to Taylor to lighten my black-colored hair, trusting that the process would be handled professionally and safely. Instead of approaching it gradually over multiple sessions, he decided to push my hair far beyond what it could…
Lana is a Godsend. I looked all over the city. Spare yourself the hassle. I found THE best colorist: trust the process 💓
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 ✨✨
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…
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.…
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 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I had such an incredible experience at this hair salon—truly exceeded every expectation. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and completely at ease. Lana’s work is truly a piece of art. Her attention to detail, creativity, and skill are unmatched. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and…
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…
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!
Carolyn is a hair magician! She completely transformed my look with a stunning new color, a flawless cut, and a style that looks straight out of a magazine. I’m obsessed with the results and left the salon feeling absolutely radiant—she is truly the best. Thank you for the best transformation!!
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!
Mia is amazing! She made my hair so beautiful and from now on I'm only using her. Thank you Mia!😘
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.
Caroline was a fantastic hair stylist! She gave me the best cut and color, and I genuinely enjoyed her company throughout the appointment. I came in with dirty blonde hair and walked out with gorgeous blonde highlights that I absolutely love. She really listened and nailed exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much, Caroline — I can’t wait to come back!
I got gorgeous highlights by Lana and they were truly to my liking achieving the lightness I wanted without harming my hair definitely coming back
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…
Caroline, did a whole "makeover" something I REALLY needed and absolutely nailed it! Fabulous work, fast and very attentive! HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!
Mia Liu is so awesome! First of all she’s so nice and pleasant! But also she is so talented with both color and cut. I love what Mia did with my hair and I enjoyed my time at shear bliss today!
Lana is the absolute best blond colorist in the city! Been coming here for 8 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Caroline did an amazing job fixing my hair and giving me a blonde that I LOVE!
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.
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!!!
It was my first time coming, and I found Taylor through a friend’s recommendation. After seeing his work on Instagram, I knew I’d never go anywhere else. My hair is thick and full, but he achieved the exact color I dreamed of. The result is absolutely stunning — way beyond my expectations!
Taylor and his team did a wonderful job on my hair, would 100% recommend them!
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
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!
My stylist was Taylor. I came in with previously highlighted blonde hair and I difficult ask of making me extremely blonde with as little yellow tones as possible. Taylor did an incredible job with the highlight and also toned my hair perfectly to give me the “white” blonde tones I was looking for! Would definitely…
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!!
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!”
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…
Laura went above and beyond to provide me the blonde I wanted. My hair was very damaged from previous work at a different salon; Laura explained the process to me and in the end delivered exactly what I wanted. They have made a returning client out of me!
Taylor is incredible - love my new hair! Refreshed highlights, did balayage and a fresh haircut. Perfect blonde for summer
Oksana has been doing my hair for three years now and she always does such an amazing job with highlights and balayage! Love this place and definitely recommend getting your hair done here!!
Just had a highlight done with Elsa. Best blonde I’ve had in years. It was my first time at Shear Bliss, and I was looking for a blonde specialist. The receptionist recommended Elsa and she did not disappoint! I had quite a bit of grow out since my last balayage/highlight, and asked Elsa to bring the blonde up to…
Oksana is the best.
Elsa did an INCREDIBLE job on my hair. I can’t believe how beautiful I feel right now 😭
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…
I decided to suprise my mom in getting her hair done.. and I chose this salon and requested Maria as her stylist… she didn’t disappoint. Magic hands and skills! Thank you so much for transforming my moms hair… from dark brown to blonde she looks absolutely amazing.. thank you again for treating her like a queen .. she’ll definitely be back
Lana is incredible. She’s Type A in the best way — meticulous, focused, and 100% confident in her craft. From the moment I sat down, she knew exactly what my hair needed and made recommendations based on both what I asked for and what would actually be healthiest and most flattering for me. Her vibe is no-nonsense,…
10/10 experience ! taylor is the best, wouldn’t trade him for anyone ! 🩵
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! .
I have been coming here for several years and they nail it every time! Taylor is amazing with blonde highlights !
Oksana has been doing my hair for almost 10 years and I would trust no one else but her to do my highlights! She is an expert with blondes and always gets the color exactly right. I am always receiving so many compliments on the color and health of my hair.
I saw Maria to get my highlights done and she did a great job !! She's knowledgeable and made me feel beautiful... I'll definitely be back plus the atmosphere of the salon was top notch loved how friendly everyone was and so attentive
Thank you Laura for my amazing hair ! I had a long time without dying my hair and I needed a change , Laura understood exactly what I want it! Will come back !!
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…
Maria worked magic on my hair! I came in with so much dead hair and wanted a whole makeover on my hair and she delivered. I did not know what I wanted and she was so patient and understanding with me. I look amazing and I have never loved my hair more! I cannot wait to come back in a few weeks to get my new hair…

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!
I have been coming to Shear Bliss since 2020 and specifically have seen Oksana for all my services. Oksana is a remarkably talented stylist with a vast depth of knowledge when it comes to hair and as someone who likes to switch up my style often, I greatly appreciate how she takes the time to hear what I’m looking…
ELSA G WAS AMAZING! I loved my time with her. She took such good care of me and I can’t wait to go back
Absolutely love Lana and this salon! I don’t have to tell her much somehow she just always can read my mind and do what’s exactly needed on my hair. Your hair is an investment and Lana handles business! Coming from a girl with super thick, difficult to work with hair - don’t hesitate booking an appt with Lana. Also…
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…
Michelle is amazing 👏. She knew exactly what I wanted and made it a reality. I'm getting so many compliments on my hair. I feel like a million bucks! I highly recommend her for your dream hairstyle!
I came to shear bliss for the first time last week and got hair coloring experience by the wonderfully talented Oksana! She did exactly what I wanted and how I wanted. She listened to everything I said and was not rude at all like the other places I have been definitely coming back 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…
My hairdresser was Elsa and I had such a great experience. My hair looks so good. The color and the cut are great, and she curled it so well!
I had Elsa and she was just excellent after not having my hair done for two years. She handled it with care and the perfect color.
I have been seeing Laura for almost one year now and she has completely transformed my hair! My hair used to be uneven tones of blonde but she has worked with me to get to a tone of blonde that I love. Laura and everyone at Shear Bliss is kind, knowledgeable, and professional. I would definitely recommend.
Had a wonderful hair experience My hair is literally so soft and beautiful It compliments me very nicely It’s so stylish. Will definitely use her again
Absolutely amazing service by Maria. After a miscommunication about the type of hair coloring I wanted, Maria went above and beyond to ensure I was 100% happy with the final results. I told her I wanted balayage, but what I really wanted was highlights. The balayage turned out gorgeous but I wanted something…
Would HIGHLY recommend this salon to anybody looking to get their hair done exactly like the picture!!!!! The staff & all stylists are very sweet & attentive! David Pinkhasov did an AMAZING job with my highlights! He took his time to ensure the perfect application & also used a less harsh version on bleach on my…
My stylist, Taylor, is a god. An absolute god. I am annoyingly picky about my blonde hair and he nails it every time. 11/10!
this is BY FAR the best salon in manhattan. a few months ago i saw Elsa for a brazilian blowout and just yesterday went for a balayage. Elsa spent 6 hours of her time making my hair exactly the way i had wanted. i went from brunette with previous dye to completely blonde and it looks fantastic. she took the extra…
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…
I came to Shear Bliss for the first time and Elsa did an amazing balayage ,she was so sweet and kind.I’m so happy with the result ,definitely be going back to her Thank you Shear Bliss !!
Laura is the absolute best! I've seen her both in fall and spring - I'm a natural blonde but tend to do slightly different color variations depending on the season. She is patient, listens to what you want, and the color always turns out AMAZING. Definitely recommend her if you are in the area!
The best salon I ave been I did my highlights there with Daisy she give me the best color 🤩 she make sure she took her time to archive what I was ask for , 100 % recommend. See you soon Daisy 🌸
This review is way overdue and I have to say I couldn't keep how amazing Daisy is to myself! I came in for a color transformation from dyed dark brown hair to icy blonde and platinum gray highlights and thats exactly what she managed to give me with the best results ever. She was brutally honest with me on how such…
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…
Laura did a great job with my highlights and trim, would definitely recommend this salon!
I went to Michelle for highlights and am absolutely IN LOVE with the job she did. Not only was she warm and friendly, she was knowledgeable and genuinely took the time to care for my hair and it’s specific needs. The color is stunning and I will definitely be going back to her and Shear Bliss!
I came to Shear Bliss with highlights from a different salon that were horrible - yellow, streaky, uneven, and a mess. Michelle immediately knew what to do to solve the problem and put in HOURS of work to get it done and made sure I left happy. She did an incredible job! It was no easy feat to fix my hair but she…
Had the best experience at Shear Bliss. My hair stylist was Adela, she was amazing. I got highlights, haircut and blowout. This was my first visit after moving to nyc and I’m so happy with my results. The salon is clean and well maintained. All the staff are beyond friendly. Will definitely be back!
Shear bliss is the best hair salon in NYC. I have been going to Lana for over 7 years. She saved my blonde hair. I have never met a hairstylist as professional and knowledgeable as she is. She is up to date with new techniques and products . Her goal is to make her clients very happy and satisfied with the results.…
I had a great experience at Shear Bliss; Maria was excellent throughout the entire process! She took the time to really understand what I was looking for and provided several options for how I could brighten up the color of my existing highlights so that they matched more seamlessly with the new highlights I was…
Oksana is the BEST!! I took a chance on her to do my blonde highlights many years ago and it was one of the best decisions I ever made! I still travel back to NYC every 3 months to get my highlights done because I have not yet found anyone as good as her. To this day, she is still just as caring and thoughtful with…
Lana is a genius with color. She can actually create those cool, completely non-brassy blonde tones so difficult for brunettes to achieve. They take so much time and care here. A full head of highlights and a cut took six hours, but SO worth it.
