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…
I absolutely loved my experience at this salon! I originally thought I was going to need bleach to get the color I wanted but they explained that I actually didn’t need it and I’m so glad I listened to them! My hair came out even better than I expected and I’m genuinely so happy with the results. It was bleach FREE…
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.
Stella gave me the most beautiful transformation. She has an amazing eye for detail and made sure everything was perfect before I left.
First, my stylist, Oksana is AMAZING! I’ve never had such a perfect color since I’ve been coloring my hair and that’s been a long time, I’m 76 so when I say it’s been a long time, it Has! Her Hairstyling is amazing, there’s never been anyone who has styled my wavy hair as perfectly as she does! She is the best…
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.
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 cannot recommend Oksana at Shear Bliss enough! She gave me the best haircut and balayage of my life—and that’s saying something after 35 years! 🤩 From the moment I sat in her chair, she really listened to what I wanted, gave thoughtful advice, and absolutely nailed the look. The balayage is flawlessly blended,…
Daisy is exceptional! I hadn’t had my hair done in over a year, and she completely brought it back to life. Her skill and confidence with balayage made me feel so comfortable throughout the appointment. The result looks and feels expensive, while still being soft and natural. I absolutely love it, and I can already tell it’s going to grow out beautifully.
Taylor did an amazing job on my color and style! Great experience and service. All hands on deck from Taylor, Caroline & Tina!’
Book with Stella!! She gave me the most amazing layered haircut and recommended a treatment that made my hair shiny and less frizzy. She really put time and care into both the cut and styling. I couldn’t be happier!
I came in on a Thursday to get a color correction balayage with taylor and it was absolutely beautiful,The service was not only extraordinary but the stylists specifically make sure your time is spent comfortably and you leave feeling absolutely great I would 100% recommend this salon to anyone thinking about it -…
I am beyond satisfied with my experience and highly recommend Shear Bliss NYC Salon to anyone looking for fabulous hair and fantastic service! I really loved how Laura did my hair! She is very nice and talented and did a fabulous job. She really listened to what I wanted and made it happen. I will definitely come back here again!
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 ✨✨
Laura is amazing! She really listened to what I wanted and made my hair look even better than I imagined. My hair feels healthier, looks beautiful, and I’ve been getting so many compliments. Highly recommend her if you want someone you can truly trust with your hair!
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!!
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!!
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.
Taylor did an amazing job!!! I come to him every time. Highly recommend
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!
I came in for a balayage on dark hair and Melina did a wonderful job beginning with a thorough consultation. She took her time to ensure I was satisfied with the results and I am indeed very happy with the outcome! I have very thick hair that can be difficult to deal with but she did a fantastic job. I would…
Michelle did a cut and blow dry for me! It was amazinggggg! will def be coming back, great service and results.
Caroline, did a whole "makeover" something I REALLY needed and absolutely nailed it! Fabulous work, fast and very attentive! HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!
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 :)!!
Elsa did a fabulous job in color correcting my hair challenge. I appreciate her customer service, dedication, and art. I highly recommend her.
⸻ 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…
I had an unfortunate experience at a recent hair appointment elsewhere, and Laura truly saved the day. She took the time to coach me through exactly what I needed to say to the other stylist to get the issue corrected, which I really appreciated. On top of that, she expertly cut my clip-in extensions to blend…
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.
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’ve been with Oksana for almost a year. This time I wanted to change my color and I had a complicated history with my previous processes, but she took time to really ask me what I would/wouldn’t be good with and met me in exactly where I was trying to go. Also haircuts. Beautiful job each time. It’s like so…
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…
Everyone knows once you find a good salon with perfect stylists you never go elsewhere and this place is definitely that! Taylor fixed my blunt blond job and blended it so beautifully that I had to come back when I made the choice to go red. They know what they’re doing and Taylor especially has great instincts on…
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!
I did a haircut with Laura, I love how caring and kind she is, I did went without any idea of what to do, she gave me recommendations of what will be pro with my type of hair and face shape, also she gave me some advice of how to take care of my hair and products that will work great, loved hair can’t wait to visit NYC and do it again!
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 !
Maria did such an amazing job on my hair! She helped my hair get back to a more natural color that I love so much. I’m so impressed and happy with how it looks. 🥰
Got a same day appointment with Michelle and had an amazing experience. I got exactly what I wanted and everyone was incredibly professional and courteous. I will be returning for my next haircut.
I have dark hair and wanted to lighten it but didn't want to deal with touching it up often and Elsa suggested doing a balayage for low maintenance. After trying to find a shade that would work, Elsa worked her magic. I felt like a new person. Thank you Elsa!
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
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!!!
Maria did a fantastic job with my balayage. She was kind, attentive and explained what she was doing really well. Exceeded my expectations and was able to achieve the reference photo I shared with minimal damage.
I've been coming to Shear Bliss for almost a year now, and every visit has been nothing short of exceptional! Adela is my go-to stylist—she's incredibly talented and consistently brings my vision to life. I've gone from black to vibrant red, and then to brown with highlights, and each transformation has been spot on…
I absolutely loved my stylist Laura! She did such an amazing job with my hair. Her hospitality was the best she knew what she was doing and made sure to ask how I felt during each step of my hair cut/coloring process and I appreciated that. I would definitely go again in the future!
Marina was extremely efficient and competent while maintaining a professional prose.
Oksana is the absolute best along with the entire team at Shear Bliss. They all work as a team which makes you feel right at home. The salon is clean and has a great vibe to it with great music. This is my third time getting my hair done by Oksana and she has impressed every time especially given my back and forth…
I got my hair cut and colored by Maria and she KILLED IT!! I’m so happy to have found somewhere I truly love and she made me feel so confident and beautiful. I’ve tried a lot of different places since moving to the city and this was by far my best experience.
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…
I have been coming to the salon for the past 5 years. They are amazing. Knowledgeable, professional and very talented. My last experience was with Adela. She did my balayage and I can’t be more satisfied with the results.
Elsa is absolutely an artist.I have been searching for ages to find a place that could do really good blond baylayage .. The this place perfectly blended shadow root if you want absolute color match too. And they saves my formula for next time 5 stars
MARIA!!!! What else can I say? She is superb and the salon is amazing. This is the 3rd time I’ve gotten a balayage / color / blowout from Maria and she SLAYS every time. She is actually insanely talented, and I feel like a superstar and definitely look like one. The results will last months because the work is that…
Amazing hair salon in Kips Bay. Now my second time coming here. Always efficient and captured exactly what I want. Thank you so much!
Taylor was the best balayage artist I have ever had! He gave me an incredible color. And an amazing cut. I feel special! Will surely be coming back more for him.
Maria was lovely and gave me just what I wanted even though I didn’t explain it very well. Left feeling very cute!
Adela is the best! I am in love with my hair! The staff at Shear Bliss are very friendly and professional especially my stylist, Adela! Adela listened to exactly what I wanted and even offered great suggestions! The end result was beyond my expectations! My hair looks amazing and feels healthier than ever! Top notch experience!

Laura was great! I’m loving my haircut- 10/10. Thank you again ❤️
I recently had the pleasure of getting my hair done by Elsa, and I am beyond impressed! I have fine hair, which is difficult to lighten without causing damage, but Elsa is incredibly knowledgeable about how to process fine hair with minimal to no damage. She truly takes the time to ensure that my hair remains…

I got half head highlights by David, it was sooo good!!
Had a wonderful experience with a cut and blow dry with Marina!! Will definitely come back.
I have been getting my haircut here for several years now and David always does an amazing job cutting and styling my hair!
I’ve been getting my hair done at Shearbliss NYC since 2021 by the one and only Maria. Maria is phenomenal! I’ve done everything from brown to blonde, and each time Maria made sure my hair remained healthy at the salon and educated me on what products would be best to use to keep it healthy and vivid. Recently I…
Adela did my hair and was absolutely fantastic! She cut exactly what I asked while making sure it was healthy and not too short or too dead at the end. And the blow out is one of the best i’ve gotten! Definitely recommend. She even protected it from the snow after for me with a little wrap. Best in the area!!
The best salon! Elsa in particular has been cutting and styling my hair for over 2 years and always does a fantastic job. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a basic cut and blow dry to more complex coloring
Good service and talented staff! Daisy always makes sure my hair looks amazing!!
Amazing blowout. Staff is super sweet. Definitely recommended Marina for a great experience and amazing blowout

Her attention to detail and talent are unmatched, and I always leave feeling amazing. If you’re looking…

I spent a few days in Manhattan and went to get my hair cut and dried… ended up getting a single process as well!
