After takeoff; I (FA 2) smelled a strong odor of dirty bleach and [experienced] a headache; dizziness; tightening of throat; nausea and burning eyes. After level off the smell dissipated. Still felt very nauseated; headache; dizziness and tightness in throat throughout the flight. On descent the same smell continued with same symptoms. FA 4 started feeling nauseated and headache. After landing I could still smell the odor and ask FA 1 to come to the back of airplane and midway through the cabin she started feeling nauseated; headache and dizziness. Captain put the event in the logbook and the plane was taken out of service. FA 1; 2; and 4 went to clinic and then hospital for blood work. After 5 hours blood was taken. Results were normal. The blood work should have been drawn a lot earlier.
