Amanda was amazing!! So nice and my hair turned out great!! She knew exactly how to make my hair look the best it could.
OKSANA is amazing. I have never been happier with my hair color. She is consistent. And I walk out of the salon very happy. My color is perfect and blowouts are always the way I like it. I would highly recommend her
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…
Had an incredible first time experience at this salon. Came in for color and a cut. I was very impressed with the skill and service that my stylist, Melina, provided. She was very knowledgeable and really went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience. Super professional and talented. I would highly…
I had my haircut and coloring done by Melina for the first time, and I’m so happy with the results! She was friendly, professional, and really took the time to understand what I wanted. I absolutely love how my hair turned out—the color and haircut are exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you, Melina, for making my…
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…
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 !
Daisy was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is so informative about the process for my hair! She was careful to keep my hair healthy, but still got me my desired results! She will be my go to stylist from here on out!
Had such a great experience! Everyone was so kind / attentive, and I loved how my hair turned out. Thank you to Elsa and Tina!!
I finally found the perfect hairstylist! Mia at Shear Bliss did an amazing job on my balayage and keratin treatment. She's super sweet, professional, and I'm completely in love with my hair. The salon itself is great too, welcoming and well run. Mia's my go-to now. Highly recommend booking with her!
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.
I had such an amazing experience at Shear Bliss! I got a cut and dry, and was able to book an appointment last minute. Originally, I was nervous since my hair is fine, thin, and very straight (I have standard Asian hair that’s somewhat difficult to work with). When I walked in, everyone was welcoming. I met Tina,…
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.
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…
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 had a phenomenal experience with Taylor. I had never dyed my hair before and he was absolutely wonderful from making me feel at ease to advising me. I have thin black hair and he gave me a no bleach balyage that makes me feel beyond summer ready. Ill definitely be coming back to him!
This was my first time at this Salon. Was very busy however Elsa is very welcoming and really listened to what I wanted. She was very professional and easy to talk to at the same time. She did not rush me or any step of the process. I will absolutely be booking more haircut with her.
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!
Kasia (Kate) was amazing! She covered my grey roots, punched up the shine on my hair and refined my cut into a beautiful and stylish bob!
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!’
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…
I went on a Friday afternoon and it was busy! But Taylor took so much time to make sure that every detail of my haircut was perfect. O absolutely love how it turned out and would 100% recommend him as stylist!
Taylor is the best!!!!! He does the best haircuts and the best blowouts ever!!!!!
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 ✨✨
I had a wash, blow dry, and cut with David, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. I arrived a bit early, and they kindly offered to get me started early, which I really appreciated. I had extremely long hair that I hadn’t cut in about a year, and David managed to shape and style it so beautifully.…
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!
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!!!
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 🤗🤗🤗🤗
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!
ELSA WAS AMAZING! She somehow did exactly what I wanted with minimal direction. Crushed layers and made me feel like a new person. So happy with this choice!!! Will definitely be back
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!
Here’s a natural, polished Google review in English: ⸻ I had an amazing experience at this salon! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and both the haircut and treatment were of the highest quality. I was especially impressed by the Oksana’s exceptional skills in cutting and styling—truly outstanding. I highly…
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
Laura is one of the best stylists! I’m very picky and she does a great job every time
If you have trust issues when it comes to your hair- Elsa ELIMINATES THEM. I have not had a professional touch my hair in 10 years until finding Elsa today!!! She made me feel so heard and understood how important it was to me to keep my length. She cut off my dead ends, gave me super long layers/face framing pieces…
Elsa was amazing!!
Shear Bliss is an amazing salon. I have been coming here for 4 years and always go to Laura and she is the best!!! Everyone here is very nice very professional and lovely. Laura always cuts and blow dries my hair perfectly!!!!
I went to Elsa for a haircut and she was amazing!!! She is a pro and knows exactly what she is doing - I am so happy with the results. She is very friendly and communicative. She made me feel comfortable and even reached out to me after my appointment to make sure I was happy with the results. I will definitely be…
Mia is amazing! She made my hair so beautiful and from now on I'm only using her. Thank you Mia!😘
Been going there for 5 years now. Consistent, amazing hair gloss and haircuts !
Daisy did a fantastic job on my hair! I’ve been growing it out to eventually fully go back to my natural hair color after a decade as a blonde and she did such an amazing job blending the natural and the dyed parts of my hair together. She also fixed an uneven haircut from another salon. Will definitely be back!!
David was AMAZING!!!! I usually don’t get my hair done due to traumatic experiences with past hairdressers in my area (Delaware) but this was truly such an amazing experience with him and I will definitely be back! My hair has never looked so perfect genuinely.
David did my hair and he was so thoughtful and did Such an amazing job!
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!!
Had such a great experience with Elsa! I went to her for the first time almost two weeks ago for a trim and a deep conditioning treatment. I told her I’m trying to grow out my hair and only wanted to trim the dead and she is the first hand dresser that listened and only took off how much was needed and nothing more!…
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!
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.
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 really took care of me! Gave me a really great cut and color. She really listened to what I wanted. I highly recommend her 😊
Laura is fantastic!! Have been coming here for years, truly never disappoints.
Michelle gave me a lovely conditioning treatment and blow out! Great for curly hair
This is my second time at Shear Bliss and Taylor did such an amazing job with my hair. He listened to exactly what I wanted and exceeded expectations! I recommend seeing Taylor if you’re ever looking for a voluminous blowout! He’s also so fun to talk and the customer service was incredible.
Shear Bliss never disappoints!! David was great and gave me exactly what I wanted - a nice low maintenance trim while still keeping a good amount of length.
Second time coming into Shear Bliss, it’s been about 4 years (whoops) since my last haircut, but David was phenomenal. Quick, professional and reshaped, thinned out and layered my hair perfectly. I will definitely be coming back (sooner this time), cannot recommend Shear Bliss and David enough!
Michelle is the best. She always does a wonderful job with my haircut and blow outs. She even did a K18 treatment which made me my hair healthier and shinier. Would recommend going to Michelle
Caroline, did a whole "makeover" something I REALLY needed and absolutely nailed it! Fabulous work, fast and very attentive! HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!
I went to Shear Bliss because I live across the street and needed a last-minute haircut—and I’m so glad I did. Mia gave me the most beautiful cut. She’s incredibly skilled with layers and bangs, and everything turned out exactly how I hoped. I highly recommend going here and asking for Mia! ❤️
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!
Mia is AMAZING! She is very professional, kind and gives you excellent recommendations! I am totally coming back to Shear Bliss for another styling by Mia.
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 :)!!
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…
Love this salon! Best hair color and blowouts Accommodating with scheduling too!
Michelle is amazing! First time there, came in for a trim and she brought my hair back to life. Great service all around
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…
Michelle is fantastic! She is extremely professional, and take my words to deliver the perfect blowout I envisioned! Plus, she always gives me amazing advise/tips/tricks to keep my hair healthy in between my blowouts and haircuts. 10/10 - could not recommend more!
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.
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…
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 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!! 🫶🏼🎀
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…
When I walked in, everyone was very welcoming. They asked if I wanted water or something to drink while I waited. After shampoo Michelle right away began on my hair ,then started working on the blowout and styling. She asked how I would like my hair done, what kind of style I preferred, and whether I wanted more…
Elsa is the sweetest. Cares about hair health while still achieving the end goal. Love her!!
Maria did an amazing job with my balayage! I’ve been to other places in the city and nothing compares to her. She is truly a talented individual. Will be coming back to her in future.
This is the best salon ever! Maria who colored & styled my hair is incredible!! Besides being an extremely well skilled hair dresser ,she is so caring and really takes the time to understand ur needs & is so patient and sweet ! I absolutely loved the work she had done to my hair, the color is exactly what I wanted…
Laura is amazing I’ve been coming here for almost 4 years and she always delivers. Laura makes sure she understands the vision and checks in to ensure both parties are envisioning the same color. Franchescha her assistant is equally as attentive. Thanks Shear Bliss for always giving confidence!
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 have been using.Caroline for many years and I highly recommend her!! She is a perfectionist and really aims to please her clients! The hair she gets for extensions is extremely high-quality and she is the best in the business !
10/10 experience with Elsa! Absolutely love how my hair came out. She took her time with my cut and gave a fabulous blow dry. I will defining be returning to Elsa!
Had the best haircut and blowout experience with Taylor 😍😍😍😍😍. He did my long layers perfectly 🤩🤩🤩.
Marina took me from washed out natural hair to perfect pink! She really made me feel beautiful and the whole team was really kind.
Laura was amazing! She gave me a long layer, face framing cut and it was a really great experience! I would definitely come back again
Michelle gave me an amazing haircut and blow dry ! She is very talented and professional!
Daisy was wonderful! She did such a wonderful job bringing me back to blonde. She was such a wonderful, nice human as well.
I asked for a very specific haircut and was convinced to get something else. When asked “what do you think?” I suggested more layers and still didn’t get what I asked for. It seemed like I was thrown the least desired hair dresser who didn’t know what she was doing. Unfortunately, I will not be back.
Hidden gem and Maria is AWESOME! I stumbled upon Shear Bliss after searching for quality cuts at accessible rates in NY; I just recently moved back to the city and was searching for a new hairplace to test out but I can definitely say that I found the stylist & salon I'm going to stick with! Maria knows so much…
Mia L is amazing! I love her technique and I always leave with the best haircut.
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…
Shear Bliss is amazing. Elsa has attended me several times and has been an absolute gem. Not only does she listen to my wants and needs, she is also very honest and truly cares about the health of my hair. She is kind, gentle and very efficient. In addition, her work has caused me to feel so much more confident!…
I received a haircut on Saturday, with Stella, and she did an incredible job. My hair is chin length—I told her I wanted an angled bob and she knew exactly what to do. Throughout the day and at an event that evening, I received so many compliments on my hair because of Stella's vision and skill. I will definitely be back :)
This is my 4th time coming to Shear Bliss and every time I had a great experience. I booked with Mia twice recently and she was so kind and patient with me. I saw her IG account of her work and really liked how she did layers so when I told her what I wanted for my haircut, she talked me through what worked best for…
This was my first time here and Laura gave me an awesome haircut and made sure I loved it before letting me leave. I would recommend and come back!
Excellent, consistent shampoo, cut, and blow dry! I always see Laura, and she works with me to create a perfect style every time, whether a maintenance trim or making a big change in length or style. All the staff are friendly and excellent at what they do.
Taylor is incredible - love my new hair! Refreshed highlights, did balayage and a fresh haircut. Perfect blonde for summer
Michelle (@Michellescolortouch did an amazingg job - she was very detail-oriented, took her time and listened to all of my preferences! I have long wavy/curly hair and bangs! Thank you so much! I’ll definitely be back!
I went in as a last minute request! I had an emergency that required a wash and blowdry! They accommodated me last minute. Both Michelle’s were wonderful and my stylist Michelle did an amazing job styling my hair, truly the best blowdry service I’ve had in a while. My hair has so much sheen and softness! I have…
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.
Elsa did a wonderful job! 5 star experience. Found my new salon after just moving here. She asked all the right questions to ensure I got exactly what I wanted. Thank you Elsa at Shear Bliss!!
Stella is incredible!! Such a professional and a lovely person! This is the best haircut experience I’ve ever had! I underwent a big haircut and had they did amazing!!
Such a great experience with Michelle!!!
Absolutely loved my cut and blowout! They actually nailed the layered cuts and bouncy blowout i was looking for, which years of Chinatown haircuts wasn’t giving me. Will def return.
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! .
Loved my experience!! Very smooth process. I came in for balayage with Elsa and left exactly (actually even better) than what I was hoping for. She want the team were great; made my hair color look so natural!
amazing haircut with Taylor! Beyond professional and nice and treats your hair gently in the best way. I will be coming back and i Would recommend this to anybody! Taylor is AMAZING
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 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!!!
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…
Shear Bliss is my new go-to spot, I was able to get my haircut by David and he did an amazing job, it’s exactly what I pictured! Super clean, communicative, and overall soooo happy with my experience there
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!
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…
