Went here for the 1st time after an awful experience at a hectic, disorganized salon down the road. I’ve been dying my own hair for 16 years & this was going to my last attempt at having it professionally done if it was anything like the last one. I went to see Kelly Cascinai at Shear Bliss & all my fears have now been laid to rest! First off — love the salon! So relaxed, clean & roomy. The stations are big — you can spread all your belongings on the shelf without getting in your stylist’s way. Kelly’s bubbly, enthusiastic personality was great. I brought in some balayage photos of what I had in mind & it turned out exactly how I had envisioned. The color she used didn’t give me the tingly/itchy scalp either, which made waiting out the processing much easier. The next surprise? She cut my hair dry. Having naturally curly hair, cutting wet ends up taking about double the amount intended. I was very impressed with this approach. It freshened me up without sacrificing my length. She spent quite a bit of time blowing out & flat-ironing my wild curls afterward. I almost felt guilty that I had come to her via a Living Social deal, so I gave her a big tip LOL. I am so glad I found Kelly — there won’t be anymore disappointing do’s!

I have been putting off getting a well needed hair cut and decided to make an appointment. I called and spoke to kellie she was super nice and genuine, I explained to her that my hair stylist of 15 years had retired. You cant image how hard it was to venture a new and im so glad I did. She paired me up with Jessica Campbell and it was a pleasure, She’s good at listening. I explained how I invisioned my hair to look and she was able to put her own touch creating an awesome new look for me. I am so pleased. I was quick to make my next hair cut with her. Thank you so much for taking care of me. I look forward to my next visit. :)

Unilocal says I’ve been here 3 times. What keeps me coming back? My hair… you see, it grows. And when it grows it doesn’t always grow in the exact manner that I would like. Instead, it just grows here and there. Is that good enough for you Unilocal?Have I answered why I have been here so many times to your liking? I hope so. This is a pretty well stock salon. I know NOTHING about salons. They could be awesome. They could suck. They could have the best massages and they could have the worst nail people. I just don’t know. But what I do know is that Colleen Davidson is a great hair stylist. She does everyone in my family. And she has be doing things with my hair that I never did done before. I’m growing it out as much as an old man can. She is making it look as good as possible. So those 5 stars up there? They are for Colleen and the women who great me at the desk. Sorry I can’t tell you if they do back waxing or not.

I was soooo in need of a massage. Shannan was able to get me right in. She booked my apt and I had no wait time when I arrived. She was able to work on my back, neck, and shoulders enough to make my pain at the time go away before I even got off the table. Now let me tell you about the neck, head and face work she does… AMAZING!!! I suffer from cronic migraine disorder and she worked my neck till I could easily move without pain. She then worjed on my head OMG if you have never had a massage where they massage your head you have not lived. It is so amazing and she could still be doing it if I had the say. The face massage is amazing as well she opens up sinuses and breathing never felt so good. Talk about a head to toe massage. She is absolutely amazing and I will be back bext month for another massage. Best part is there is always some kind of special price. I am happy to say she gives a 10% or more discount to Teacher, Fire fighters, law enforcement, and Military. I am not in any of those professions, but I find it awsome. Thank you Shannan for my amazing massage. See you next month!!!

I went to see Shannon, the wonderful massage therapist for some body work. And let me just say AMAZEBALLZ! My job is physically demanding and my body takes a serious beating. I prefer deep tissue massage to anything else, and her technique is awesome. It was deep enough without being unbearable and really worked out all of the tension in my neck and shoulders. I was relaxed and comfortable and didnt want to leave! She offers gift certificates too which is going to be ideal for the holidays! I will be back!

It’s true — only my hairdresser knows for sure! People are so surprised when I tell them I haven’t been a natural blonde since 1979! I went to see Ashton a few years back on the advice of a friend, following an unfortunate«blonde dyes by her own hand» experience with the box from the drug store. My hair has a lot of red in it and tends to get that brassy, school bus yellow obviously fake blonde color. Over the years, I’ve had many stylists who just didn’t listen, and when the last stylist left to take on a new venture, I was stuck. Ashton saved the day. .. and my hair. She really listened and blended an ash blonde with a beige blonde and used a toner to give me back the soft wheat blonde of my youth. She puts on an all-over color and then does highlights at the same time, cutting the time spent in the chair in half. The highlights give my hair a multi-dimensional color that looks so natural. Her cuts are beautiful and even when my hair grows out, it still looks good. She coaches me and teaches me the tricks of the trade so that I can duplicate the look at home. Did you know you should dry your hair in the direction it grows? I used to flip it upside down which makes it frizzy! Who knew? And you can trust her advice on products — what works and what doesn’t. I also put my eyebrows in her talented hands. Waxing is an art form and requires a delicate touch. Ashton is so gentle that I finally got up the courage to try a leg wax at the beginning of summer. I am a giant baby so I really had my doubts. She promised that it wouldn’t be bad and she was right.

Jalissa Pearle is the best nail tech ever, she’s a nail guru. I’m never dissapointed. My husband always loves my nails too. She’s very much an artist, and very blessed at her trade. I have been doing hair for almost 21 years and ive seen it all, her work is the business! Lately I’m getting stiletto nails, does such a good job with the nail art. Go see her. And she’s reasonable with prices, doesn’t change extra for art. And she does all of the latest trends, I love that. I’d give her 100 stars if I could. Tip her well, she deserves it.

I have been coming to this salon for about five years to get my hair cut. Two years ago I started having my nails done at this salon as well. I see Jalissa Parle, nail technician, for gel overlay nails. Not only does she do quality nails at an affordable price($ 30), this girl has an outrageous supply of gel colors. Nearly every other time I visit her she has new colors for me to choose from. If I had to guess, I would say her collection offers over 150 different gel colors/sparkles. She does an excellent job hand drawing on my nails as well. I get them re-done every 2.5 weeks and I couldn’t imagine having anyone else do them for me. Her book fills quickly, so you are required to make appointments in advance, especially around the holiday season.

Jane has been cutting my hair(and now my husband’s hair) since my friend Daphne up and moved out to the boonies. I have to say, I love Jane and the way she cuts my hair. She always takes her time, and is always so friendly. Plus, she’s the one that talked me into cutting my hair into the super short pixie cut I had been contemplating forever and she did a fabulous job.

My husband is willing to drive me up to Reno from the Bay Area to have Tricia Zedek cut, color, and highlight my hair because the results are fantastic and i am so happy with it. It is hard to find someone with her talent and the care she takes with my hair. She is very knowledgeable and uses wonderful products on my hair and shares what i need to use to keep my hair healthy and looking at its best! She is always worth the 4 hour drive! u

I really like this salon but haven’t found a stylist that exhibited that WOW factor, that is until now. I recently booked a cut with Sarah Wittman and she gave me exactly what I wanted. I wanted a Jennifer Lawrence pixie and she delivered! I’m so excited!!! I had one stylist(not at this salon) totally botch up my pixie so I was nerves going in. Sarah fixed it up and showed me how to style it. This morning when I went to style it I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that I didn’t even need to use the flat iron. The cut is so good that it just fell into place! I simply blow dried my hair, added a little product and was ready to go! It’s a fun and easy cut to work with. I LOVE it!!! Shear Bliss carries Nicolas products which I’m a fan of, the receptionist is really nice, the products and services are reasonably priced(way cheaper than some mid-town salons), there’s a nice ambiance, and the salon is always busy which is a good sign.

I got a gift card here for Christmas and since my roots were pretty grown out, I figured I’d see how I liked them for color. Have to say, I’m pretty pleased. My styliest was Faustine and she was very friendly and professional. She was able to color and tone my roots(about 2 – 3 inches) in a little over an hour, and it looks great. Perfectly matches the color in the rest of my hair. The price was quite reasonable too. I’ve definitely found my new hair salon.

My friend, Colleen, is a hair stylist at Shear Bliss, so I come to visit her four to five times throughout the year. I asked her about waxing, and she recommended I try Marissa, and I love her! Julie at the front desk always greets me with a smile and announces me to the appropriate person. I was in conversation with Marissa about needing a pedicure, and she referred me to Tamara, who did a fabulous job with my feet and made me feel like I was walking on cloud 9! The service I get here each and every time is personal and exceptional. Appointments and checkouts are easy to do. And you can have a choice of reminder via e-mail, text, and/or phone call. I would definitely recommend this salon to anyone interested in looking and feeling great!
