Amazing Results!

by fonzblue at Citysearch

Julie is the best! She took the time to really look at my hair and proceeded to give me the best haircut I've possibly ever had. She really seemed to understand the ins-and-outs of fine, straight short hair. She also did a fabulous job correcting my color. And I was shocked when I paid--it is CHEAP! I cannot express how impressed I am by Julie's skill, and I am extraordinarily picky about my hair. I also looked on as Rhonda was cutting hair, and she did a spectacular job as well.

• Pros: Very flexible, Very skilled, Very comfortable
• Cons: None

Wonderful Hair By A Wonderful Stylist.

by alyrmc at Citysearch

I found Bliss after a long search for a new stylist. While I'm very paranoid about going somewhere new and getting a butcher job, I also hate when I see a new stylist and after a few visits end up with the same hair cut no matter what pictures or requests provide. This was never the case with Bliss.

I found them on citysearch and called to make an appointment with Julie. It is hard to get an actual person on the phone because of their limited staff/bustling business, but I've never had to wait long for a very friendly call back after I leave a voicemail.

During my first visit, Julie was very warm, friendly, and welcoming...which is awesome when you are a new client coming into a tight-knit salon (like me). She was excellent at understanding what I wanted, and more importantly, what I didn't want. I have very wavy and thick hair that doesn't always work with the short hair styles that I desire. I usually have to style the heck out of my hair to make it look decent. But Julie gave me the first cut that actually looked awesome even if I just washed and let it air dry. When I returned a second time she gave me a gorgeous cut with some dramatic bangs that any other stylist might have have toned down or botched completely. She is a great listener and is really good at providing a cut based on what the client is looking for. I never felt rushed, mistreated, uncomfortable or ignored. I hope anyone looking for a new salon will give Bliss a try. It's a wonderful experience for a great value.

*And for the one-star reviews. I hope people realize that 3 one-star reviews in a huge batch of perfect, glowing ones might indicate that a few people will never be pleased with anything, rather than the quality of the salon itself.

• Pros: Awesome stylists, Great Parking, Listens to clients, Warm and Friendly atmosphere.
• Cons: You do have to call at least a week ahead of time, but they will do whatever they can to work you in!

personalized service

by juliebliss22 at Citysearch

Hi, this is Julie, co-owner of Bliss. I just wanted to thank all of our wonderful clients who left us such nice reviews. For those of you who left us bad reviews, I am sorry we did not meet your expectations. I would like to think of our salon as a friendly, and down to earth place. If you are looking for a Kenneths or Penzones, we are not that place! We are a very small salon (only 3 stylists) We do not have set hours, as we all book our own appointments. We can be much more flexable this way. We also work by appointment only, and usually book up at least a week in advanced. We all have at least 18 years of experience. If you are looking for a small personalized salon, please call us.

• Pros: experience, parking
• Cons: we do not take same day appointments

doesn't listen to client

by columbus1234 at Citysearch

I've tried many salons, and I cannot seem to fine one that I like. So through city search I found bliss. I was excited after reading all of the good reviews, but after going to bliss I was very disappointed. The stylist didn;t listen to what I wanted for my hair and did what she thought was right. I also felt rushed. Wasn't at all what I expected.

• Pros: none

BEST SALON IN COLUMBUS

by 1881 at Citysearch

AFTER TRYING MANY SALONS IN MANY STATES, BLISS IS THE BEST. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR THE WORKING GIRLS, THE BEST COLOR I HAVE EVER HAD AND A GREAT CUT. JULIE MADE ME FEEL LIKE SHE HAD KNOWN ME FOREVER, AND REALLY LISTENED TO MY HAIR CONCERNS. I TRAVEL 2 HOURS FOR AN APPOINTMENT AND IT IS WELL WORTH THE TRIP. IT IS WONDERFUL TO HAVE A SALON I CAN DEPEND ON. JULIA ABRAMS

Best haircuts and color in town!!!

by Blissfulcustomer at Citysearch

I've tried numerous stylists at numerous salons and was unhappy for a variety of reasons - not only my hair but atmosphere, lack of communication, etc. Then I met someone with the best cut and color I had seen in years. She referred me to her salon - Bliss - and I've been hooked ever since. I drive about 40 miles to get my hair done by Rhonda. I've never left less than blissful about my hair and the experience. There's a reason Rhonda is booked so tightly - she is fantastic with cuts and color - and very nice to deal with and talk with. I've never been happier with a salon!

• Pros: Skill with cuts and color, parking, friendly staff, atmosphere
• Cons: Far away from me - but that doesn't stop me!

Bliss is the BEST!!

by Suzanka at Citysearch

I moved to Columbus over four years ago from Seattle. I had gone through a plethora of salons before stumbling across Bliss. I have been seeing Rhonda for over two years. From the first time I met her I knew she really cared about me. She listened to my concerns and my past experiences. She listened to what I had in mind for my hair and was open to give me suggestions. Thanks to Rhonda's wonderful creativity I LOVE my hair.

Recently I decided to completely change my color. Rhonda gave me her opinion and I chose to do what I wanted. I hated the color. I sheepishly called Rhonda the next day and she not only got me in within a week, she fixed it for free!! I am always treated well by everyone at the salon and look forward to my visits. Rhonda takes the time to get to know her clients which is why everyone always comes out of Bliss looking fabulous!!!!

• Pros: The best hair salon in town!
• Cons: Their books fill up quickly, but so worth the wait!

UNblissful

by UNblissful at Citysearch

After reading the reviews on city search, I decided to try out bliss. I recently moved to the Columbus area, so I needed a new salon. After speaking to the styliest on the phone, she told me she could do my cut blind folded because she's done it so many times. I was pumped to chop my hair off, and on the day of my appointment she cancled 4 hours ahead of time. Then we rescheduled for next week, and she told me for new clients she schedules extra time (1 hour instead of 45 min). She ended up not scheduling any extra time, and I felt rushed the whole time. I cut off more than 10 inches and was looking forward to giving my hair to locks of love. First the stylist told me you can't send colored hair in, which is untrue. Then she told me that it wouldn't be a full ten inches ( which is was). Being excited to chop my hair off, after the first main cut of all of the length, I asked to see my hair in the back. The stylist rudely told me that she "Didn't have time to show me every cut," eventhough I just asked to see the first one. I asked if I could part my hair in the front like I always do before she cut it, and I could tell she was annoyed. At the end of the cut, she rudely mentioned somethig about if I just let her do her job then my hair would be fine. I would have if she knew what she was doing. Her next client was there waiting well into 15 minuetes before I was done, and I felt very rushed to get out of there. It wasn't until I got home and realized how bad the cut was. I ended up getting it re-done by a stylist who is still in school and I love it. Not only was it rude service but the stylist was so arrogant she didn't listen to her client on what they wanted and just did what she thought was right! Not the experience I was hoping for...

• Pros: Parking is the only good thing at Bliss
• Cons: Rushed and rude atmosphere

Rhonda is the best!!

by brynkelly at Citysearch

I live in NYC now, but I was a client at Bliss for three years. I could go to any of the top-name salons in Manhattan, but I still miss Bliss! Rhonda, my stylist, is creative, talented and fun. She always very patiently explains how she's styling my hair so I can replicate the look at home. She's great with all textures of hair, too -- she managed to tame my wild curls! Whenever I left Bliss, I always felt like a million bucks. Some day when I am back in Ohio visiting relatives, I just might call her up to see if she can fit me in!

• Pros: bright, clean, fun, friendly, talented stylists
• Cons: not cheap, but worth it

Such High Hopes

by nousrname at Citysearch

After reading the reviews and one recommendation from a co-worker, I was excited to try Bliss. What a disappointment. After giving a descriptive and detailed list of what I wanted, I received the exact opposite. The stylist chose to "texturize" my hair excessively leaving me with approximately 1/3 of my original hair. I cannot begin to describe how terrible this looks. The stylist was ten minutes late, the cleanliness level left something to be desired and she had me sit under a dryer for 20 minutes rather than hand dry my hair so she could attend to personal phone calls. After my scalp was singed from the heat and I turned off the dryer she stayed on the phone another five minutes before returning to her job. Really awful experience. Terrible haircut and service.
