Shear Bliss

I had such a great experience. Holly was just super! Great atmosphere, will def go back.

Holly is absolutely phenomenal. She always knows exactly what I want to do before I even tell her and she is always down to try some of my crazy ideas.

you know how you notice when a friend's hair just starts to look better and better? Well I did and I needed a new stylist so I asked my friend and she told me she went to Holly at Sheer Bliss. I had an appointment with her to have my hair colored and I could not be happier. I went in with growing out blonde highlights and she worked with me and gave me the richest most beautiful color I have ever had. And she's an amazing conversationalist so that makes it even better! I am so happy to have found Holly!!

DO NOT NOT NOT NOT get your makeup done here. I requested an updo and makeup for an event I had and was told they could do both. Updo was great (and I would say HAIR WAS A FIVE STAR very good at hair here) however the young woman who "does makeup" wasn't even aware she was doing makeup that day and casually acted like that wouldn't be an issue, implying experience and talent to be able to do it, I was at a salon after all. Not the case. I showed her a picture of a smoky eye that I desired (see below first pic), she took TWO AND A HALF HOURS and I looked like a deranged version of a Candy Skull. She then blamed ME for her ineptitude and said it was the words I had used, (both "fanned out" and "crisp lines" both of which are possible at the same time but that's beside the point). I am positive semantics had nothing to do with the fact that she had no idea what she was doing, was clearly unable to replicate any acceptable variation of the photo I had shown to her, and left me with little to no time to prepare. The manager attempted to assist after I scrubbed the Halloween-skull esque horror off of my face, only to also, not have the time or experience to do professional makeup, she made me look like a washed out drug addict. Neither did highlight, blending, etc. i.e. what would be necessary to make my makeup look professional or come close to the photo shown. I came home and did my own makeup and did it well I may add, however had to be a bit late to the event. It was very upsetting to be told by the salon over the phone that they could do makeup, to be willing to pay for it since working with black shadow for a smokey cat eye can be tricky, only to sit in a chair for hours just to end up looking like a practicing middle school girl trying black eye-shadow for the first time, and then have the 19 year old blame me for it!!!! Just be sure you have a professional makeup artist do your makeup and do not get that done here. They shouldn't tell people they are capable of doing a face of full makeup that they charge for if all they have is a 19 year old girl without any extensive experience in the field taking a stab at it. This was extremely upsetting that day and I have learned my lesson with this. I will be asking for a portfolio and verifying reviews in the future if I ever risk getting my makeup done professionally again. Below please find in order 1. the picture I showed the "makeup artist" prior to her beginning the makeup, of what I wanted it to look like, 2. an example of what the first attempt looked like since I didn't get a chance to take a picture of that as I was too upset, followed by 3. the SECOND attempt photo where the manager attempted to fix this mess (I had already washed off the first two hour black hole eye effect shadow from the initial disaster before taking a picture) and then 4. finally a photo of what I did for myself at home afterward in the last photo. Clearly, possible.

Updated review: I went in originally for color & cut. The cut was/is beautiful and the color was actually very pretty, just not what I asked for. I asked for a vibrant red and came out with what I called black-red, super dark with a hint of red in the sunlight. The color itself as I said was really pretty, just not on me. Like, I really couldn't pull it off. I'm super pale and it looked odd. Being the first time I had attempted to get my hair colored, I just figured it would wash out. So I washed it....sometimes 2x/day. And it faded...some. But still dark and still not what I wanted. So I found a guy who said he could fix it and set the appointment, and we talked, and he definitely got me fired up about coming out of a salon unhappy with a different color than I asked for. So I wrote a review, mainly so the salon would know I was unhappy, and I even sent it in. I honestly expected nothing. I was fine going to my guy to get it fixed, I really was. And the I got a shock. I was emailed back and the salon offered to fix it! At first I was like, no, that's cool, but I thought it over and said "what's the worst that could happen?". I'm so glad I gave them another shot. When I got to my second appointment I was sat down and basically given some basic hair education. For real, I know nothing about hair & hair coloring. Apparently, if you're unhappy with your color, the best time to get it fixed is within about a week. Who knew. Anyway, the stylist told me what she was going to do, and it sounded good so we went with it. She definitely seems to know her stuff. Like wow. She knows more about hair and coloring and all that than I could ever. But that's what you want with someone adding chemicals to your hair, right? Honestly, I kinda went in not expecting any miracles. I'd been told it would be hard to get the bright red-orange color from my black-red hair, so I really set my expectations LOW. I was super surprised with how LONG she spent on my hair. They were doing this fix without cost even though it was quite some time later (like 7 weeks) and again, I had low expectations. I was there 3 hours. She really tried to get my hair as perfect as if I was a paying customer, which was awesome. Anyway, the final product is done, and I honestly still can't believe it. It's basically the exact color that I went in there for in the first place. I don't know how she did it (she did explain it to me, but it's kind of a blur now), and that's fine with me, but my hair is a miracle. It was my 6 year anniversary with my husband so I left the salon and went straight to an early dinner with my husband. He was amazed by my hair, said it looked like it did when we got married (which was the goal!!). And every time I went to the bathroom and caught a glimpse of my hair, I just smiled and got happy all over again. Like really happy. I hope the salon doesn't hate me, because they'll probably never get rid of me now. Customer for life. Oh, and check out Holly, she's the stylist who "fixed" my hair. Although please don't take up all her time because I expect to be able to book an appointment with her too. :)
