I got a hair cut for my curly hair. Anthony did such an amazing job my hair looked so full and my volume was perfect. He styled my curls just how I like it and the products he used were amazing. My hair was in tact for a whole week without having to restyle. I can't wait to come back and have another cut! The vibes were great! read more

If there is one thing I will not tolerate, it is a liar. And liars who cheat ppl out of their money, especially in this economy? No, ma'am! I have to preface by saying this is all done by the same stylist for the same service, a twisty blow-out. 1. First appointment, no charge based on a Facebook post looking for volunteers. 2. Second appointment was half off since I booked during my first session, $11. 3. Third appointment, the stylist is now level 1, so my visit was $31. 4. Fourth appointment, I ask her if she can pin my curls as she does them and then release them at the end. She says yes, cool. I go to pay, $41....? The receptionist says it's because I got my hair pinned. Okay, but no one told me there was an upcharge. I'm irritated but pay and decide I'm not coming back ever due to this. 5. Now, on Friday, 2.23, I decide that morning I needed a blowout because it's my birthday, and the only place that could get me in was here,so I booked it. I tell my new friend my plans and lo and behold, not only does she also go to this salon but gets blowouts regularly by the same girl. I tell her about the $10 upcharge for the pins, and she's shocked! She tells me she never gets charged and leaves with the pins! Ok, so now I'm going with this info in my back pocket. I go in and ask for the same blowout. The girl herself this time offers to pin the hair in the crown area for added volume with NO mention of an upcharge. I tell her, you know what, can you pin the whole thing actually. And she says, oh, that's a $10 upcharge. And I immediately tell her why, you don't charge my friend and literally pull out the text convo to show her. She stutters and says, oh she didn't pay last time? No, she's NEVER paid the extra charge I tell her. Then she suddenly decides that in a whole 'professional' salon, she doesn't have enough pins to pin my whole head. COME ON! What a joke. So I'm thinking it's my birthday (I told her this too) I'm not stressing, I don't have time, fine just pin the crown. She finishes my hair and we go up to pay. She says $41!! I'm sorry, what? I said I'm not paying the $10 upcharge for the pins. Now, she says, oh no it's not the pins, it's your long, thick hair. I'm like dumbfounded. My hair has been this length always and she has never said anything before. I'm in shock at this point, she really swindled me into paying that extra $10 like she initially wanted to. Again it's my birthday, I have a dinner to get to. My fault, but I decided to pay with cash, so now I have no record and no way to dispute with my bank. And what's even more mind-blowing, my same friend went again today, AND NO EXTRA CHARGES! Are you kidding me? What scam is this place running? Are they pocketing the upcharge money? How ridiculous is this? Soo unprofessional. read more

Was very pleased with stylist, Veronica! Confused as to why she isn't there any more?

I had a facial with Lola. She was superb, friendly and knowledgeable. Lola walked me through the process, explained each step and summarized each product. I was extremely happy and impressed with it. My face is radiant and glowing. I'm pleased with the experience and ambiance. I loved the fact that that Lola took the time to make some recommendations on products for my skin . Lola is absolutely the best! read more

Very bad service ..the stylist was very rude and did not wash my hair well.. I would not recommend this place to anyone

Hilights Salon - Blowout - Hair Salons Near Me - Lyndhurst, New Jersey

It's always nerve-racking when you have curly hair and have to go to someone new for a haircut. Nicole truly is a curly-expert and we had a really great appointment. She listened to me and reviewed my current curly practice so that we aligned on the cut before the scissors touched my hair. She gave a lot of helpful tips and tricks that I'll definitely be trying. This is one of the first times I haven't felt the need to rewash and style my hair right after leaving the salon. I wish I made the switch sooner. Also, shoutout to Rose who makes a mean cappuccino. Secondary shoutout to the amazing massage chairs at the washing station. read more

I got a trim with Cheyenne and a perm with Brenda last weekend and I'm very happy with the results. I waited to review until after I washed my hair post perm so that I could show it fresh and then washed for the first time. Cheyenne was quick and cut my hair while it was still straight very beautifully - I'm happy that she maintained the bulk of my length the way I wanted but still got some nice layers in! Brenda was very knowledgeable and I've had a perm done twice before (this is my 3rd) with a different salon but Brenda delivered quality I've never experienced!!! The salon itself is also really nice - the seats at the hair washing sinks even have massagers and recline to put your feet up! Overall a great experience and since I just moved to the area I'm going to make this my regular salon. read more

Got a hair cut here sometime ago. I asked for long layers with a short hair cut with some bangs I think. The lady cutting my hair seemed nervous kept walking away from me and leaving me alone. No explanation she just left - so the hair cut took a good bit amount of time. I need glasses to see so I could not see what she was doing until the very end, and when I do see my hair she gave me a wolf cut basically. She gave me so many layers, and they weren't even either! I did not ask for this. I thought it looked fine until I got home and realized I hated my hair, cried and went to another salon to fix it, and they couldn't fix it because a lot of the damage had been done already so I'm waiting to grow it out. I left a negative review to their personal website a couple days after the cut and no one reached out to me or anything. I even waited to see if they would. They didn't! They done care. My advice research the stylists, I had a really nice one before, I trusted a new one and was disappointed. read more

I had a terrible experience here. The stylist was rude and kept pulling my hair. I told her several times to be gentler but she kept using the same force. I told her I wanted a blonde balayge and even showed her a picture of me with the style I wanted because I have had it done before. I instead have a red tinge and no blonde. I also asked that she dye close to the root and she was about 3 inches off... Even my family told me my hair looked terrible. Very upsetting experience that I paid $252 for. This price was also different from what I was quoted before walking in. I was hoping to find a reliable stylist but instead I look like a red panda. They refuse to give any refund. I don't want someone from their salon touching my hair again! read more

I can only say good things about Hilights Salon! I first contacted the salon to inquire about having my hair lightened, which is something I've always wanted but was scared to do, and have since enjoyed every appointment at the salon. The salon is beautiful and their online appointment booking process is so easy! I had the pleasure of being taken care of by Analee and with the help of Joey (love him!) they gave me the hair that I always wanted (from natural black to bronde!) Even before seeing me, Analee was super informative and thorough with the process, what my expectations should be and aftercare. I had so many questions and she was so patient with me! I recently gave birth to my 3rd baby girl and with my chaotic schedule, I haven't been able to make it in for a touch up. I contacted Analee and she was kind enough to give me some helpful tips to keep my hair looking great until I get some Mommy time! I do not trust anyone else with my hair and I even bring my 9 year old to her. She is amazing and I highly recommend her! Oh and Joey! Don't even get me started on that gem! He's an amazing stylist as well and makes all of our appointments so much more fun. Can't wait for my next appointment. read more

EDIT: New haircut from Chanel today and it is gorgeous! So, I went in for a haircut and was really nervous because I've never had a long bob done before. Also, I didn't get any appointment with any level 2 stylist so I signed up for level 1 stylist CHANEL. I write her name in bold letters because she did a phenomenal job. 1. Patient, warm and fun. 2. Has control of her scissors 3. Likes to check with you every step of the way. I should also mention that the salon has high standards when it comes to sanitization. Gonna go back again ! read more

I've been going to Hilights for a few years now and have no regrets! I go to Ana Lee and she does amazing every time! It's so easy to book and I can always find a convenient time for appointments. Everyone at the salon is super friendly and welcoming. They follow covid regulations well and you feel safe while getting your hair done. Parking is also never an issue. As for my hair every time I have gone I have shown photos of what I wanted and every time I walk out super happy. Ana takes her time and listens to what you want. She is very patient to work to get the results the customer is looking for. I have really dark hair and usually want a lighter color so it usually takes basically half the day! I've gone to hair stylist before that literally could not figure out how to get my hair light. This is the first person to be able to actually give me what I'm looking for. It is definitely worth paying the price and a few hours to get what you're looking for. I usually pay about 300-400 for color, cut and styling. Which is well worth it. I would definitely recommend Hilights and going to Ana to anyone looking for a hairstylist! read more

Went in recently to get a trim, treatment, and blow out. Nicole took my hair from dry and brittle- like literally broom stick rough to this. And the softness was lasting with her recs. I have naturally curly hair so it can be very dry but the conditioner she recommend really made a difference. And the post treatment soft curls and blow out lasted all week with just gentle brushing. Hoping to go back soon to touch up on color! read more

First time here and I will definitely be coming back. The service is top-notch and the people/vibe are A+. I felt comfortable and ended up with exactly what I envisioned. I haven't colored my hair in over 6 years so I was a little anxious to begin with. Alexa was my stylist and she totally fed off my energy. I truly appreciate the level of care and attention every step of the way. I decided to come here based on other good reviews so I'm glad that I can contribute by giving another one. As for post-Covid care, the chair and shampoo stations had cue cards indicating they were sanitized and ready for a client. All stations had plexi glass in between them. The work stations are kept tidy during and between clients. They maintained social distancing between clients and adhere to the mask policy. Felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Process took about 4 hours end to end. read more

Highly recommend. Amazing staff! One of the best cut and color I've had. Professional and talented team!

Long overdue review: I asked for light brown (caramel) highlights, that I absolutely did not want blonde hair. After 4 hours she turned me around to blonde hair. I explained it was much lighter than I wanted, her response was, "I know, wait 2 weeks, it should darken, if not come back" Which seemed odd to me since in all my years of having my hair colored it never darkened over time, just lightened. BTW $360 hair cut for damaged hair and not at all the color I asked for. (Pictures below) So after a week I called to explain what happened. In that week my hair got lighter. The bleach they put on (unbeknownst to me) did not take to the dye they put on top. My hair was damaged from the bleach that was kept on too long and it was/is completely fried. My hair feels like straw/hey and is matted w/ knots when I brush it after the shower. (wasn't like that prior, prior to the appointment my hair was virgin undyed hair). The owner told me to come in to get it fixed. The 2nd time I went they said they were putting a conditioner treatment on my hair, and they were going to re-dye my hair. At the end of the appointment they were charging me $160. I explained the only reason I am here is because the salon messed my hair up the first time, so the manager came over (blonde very nice women) apologizing and explaining the owner wasn't there and she was not aware but will take care of it for me. 2 days later I go and wash my hair, (still feels like straw/hey and is matted in knots) and now one side of my hair is brown and the other is blonde. Needless to say I am not going back to have them "fix it" for the 3rd time, and will go somewhere else. read more

I found HiLights from a family friend and was recommended to try Mimi. Once I had seen what she did for both of my sisters, moms and nieces hair (yes we all come here) I was 100% convinced to go. The photos say it all.. she listens to what you want to get and the based on her expertise recommends what is best for your hair in order not to damage it in the process. Something that is foreign to other hairstylists who just rather get paid. The process takes long and is not cheap but it's completely worth it! Make sure to schedule your appointments! read more

Brenda is awesome. Permed my full had of grey hair. Beautiful job, and so knowledgeable. Lots of styling tips to keep the curls in place with no frizz. I returned a week later for a haircut.

Went here back in 2011 ans Trish was awesome. Small place not pricey, great cut and color. After a couple years prices started to sjy rocket, place got WAY bigger i found someone else. 2017 my daughter gets creative with her hair including blonde and grays and finally she agrees lets get this fixed professionally. We go to Highlights because its a Sunday and she agreed and i need to pounce before she changes her mind, theyre open and off we go. To be 1000% clear the stylist is beyond amazing and we see her for 2 more times and i can't say enough. One day i walk in and she isnt there. They give me a fairly new stylist who is unable to replicate the color. Yep she was a bit cheaper and my daughter won't say anything cause she is supernice but the color was totally off. 6 weeks later and i try to get an appt with original stylist with difficulty. They tell me she is now "advanced" and the prices are honestly pretty damn steep for a single process and cut etc. Im ok this is my teenager we switch back to original stylist. Everything is fine until a few months ago. Get a call that she has moved. We would like to reschedule etc. Where did she go? Um yeah i can um get that for you. She calls me back with the info. Wrong info. Thank god for mom super sleuth. Found her and been going since. Fast forward 3 months and now am getting texts to come back and offering discounts? Hmm where were these discounts when i was dropping $300 every 8 weeks? And will the stylist be a newbie or the same level and quality i had? Hmm Interesting way to get clients read more

I've been going here for half a year. At first, I went for a peek a boo with Chanel. She was SO sweet and gentle, which is needed for me because I have trust issues when it comes to my hair lol. Then she put purple in my peek a boo, which made me look so cool. Recently we went pink! Chanel remembered me and my personality and she suggested I go pink! She made it look so nice and I feel so confident and cool. Chanel is so sweet and kind, and really cares about her clients.

First time visit and already booked my return. Nicole was pleasant and gave me exactly what I asked for.

I've found my forever hairstylist (Gennifer)!! I've been to Hilights Salon twice now, both appointments with Gennifer. The wash is always so relaxing and they use quality products! (Currently i use Olaplex) Prior to finding Gen, I dredded blowouts! I always seemed to get burned when other stylist did it and my curls dropped by time I get home from the salon. With Gen, I have no worries and the blowouts/curls last! See photos attached! The second photo was two days later, with no retouch! read more

I was forced to find a salon close to home that would take a last minute appointment. Another salon I had an appointment with called to cancel my appt on a Saturday knowing I was leaving for vacation on monday. The very pleasant front desk girl squeezed me in for an appt that day I met with a stylist named Brenda. She was very good and a great listener. That is the sign of a good hair technician. Not only did she do exactly as I had asked but she suggested other possibilities that I may consider in the future. She's not a chit chatterer which suits me fine. All she does is concentrates on her work and pleasing her customer. The salon could be a little cleaner but it was still acceptable and I plan to return to have my hair done with Brenda again read more

It was very easy to make an appointment with this salon. I've called several places but none of them have made an appointment recently, but this salon made an appointment for the next day.

I liked their working style and style very much, everyone was friendly and very helpful. I will go again. read more

I've gotten my hair done on several occasions with Ana Lee and she did a fantastic job. Each session was 3-5 hours and she worked hard every minute of it. Major props because standing and highlighting hair for that long while listening to me talk about my life is not easy! I've attached my favorite style where I went red, never in my life would I have done red but she did such an amazing job, I absolutely adored it. The salon is extremely clean, the hair washes/massages are heavenly and there's even supplemental products you can conveniently get in the front. Overall, an extremely wholesome experience with some awesome gals/guys who run this super stylish place! read more

If I could give this salon as a whole a negative rating I would. I am new to the area and found the salon on yelp based off of the numerous positive reviews, however, unfortunately this is not the experience I had. From the start, the price quoted on the phone and the price during my "consult" were drastically different, but mistakingly, I decided to let that go. The stylist asked multiple times if I had box dye on my hair, which in hindsight, would have been a better option for me. I asked for a light brown/blonde balayage and root gray cover up. After FIVE HOURS of being in the salon, I looked like a gremlin. My hair was bright orange, broken, and damaged. While blow drying my hair, the stylist herself said I could come in for a "re-do" before I could gather my thoughts to complain. While this may seem nice, a free redo??? What about the 5 hrs of my time? What about the week I had to spray Lo'real cover up all over my head to go to work. Nobody at the salon seem to care about that. In fact, the stylist, Nicole, had the audacity to tell me, "her time is valuable too." In which I responded, well then you should have done your job correctly the first time. Worse than the stylist is the manager and owner. They expect full payment for services received, however, I did not receive remotely close to what was "consulted". They offered me a measly 30 dollars off after a long fight and damaging my hair beyond repair. Tiffany did the best she could to revive my hair with what was presented after I refused to go to the same stylist for the redo. I HIGHLY recommend her. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to NEVER come to this salon if you care about your sanity or hair. read more

UPDATE!! After writing a review, the same day I was contacted by the owner of the salon and the girl who made my hair, she apologized and offered to return to the salon to apply a glaze and do a treatment, to make my hair in the way that I wished. I really appreciated that! So today, I went to the salon (a little embarrassed by that bad review when I was mad) and explained exactly what I wanted. The first time I went I already saw that she worked very well and she was a professional, perhaps we did not understand each other. I wouldn't have come back if I see that she doesn't know how to do it. AnaLee took care of me super well with a good attitude all the time, answering my questions, and explaining me every step. She made my hair darker at the roots, looking more natural, and the treatment she applied recovered SO MUCH my hair. Now I really like what I see when I look at the mirror. When I was done, I went to pay, but they didn't charge me, even she didn't want to accept a little tip that I wanted to give her. I will definitely be back! The salon is amazing, organized and very clean, which is very important, and the girls are very nice! It deserves 5 STARS. Thank you so much! (I'll post a picture soon) read more

Def don't recommend this place. First of all terrible customer service. I had to reschedule an appointment due to being sick that day and they wouldn't cooperate and kept saying there would be a 25% fee if I rescheduled. I thought that was ridiculous and just cancelled my appointment altogether. If you're looking to go here just be aware that they do not allow rescheduling and will charge you 25%. They would rather lose you as a customer than try to work with you. Then when did I go here to get my hair done my hair stylist would NEVER blow dry my hair after. She always said she didn't have time to dry my hair so I always had to walk out of the salon with wet/very damp hair even tho I showed up to my appointments on time?! Walking out of a salon you should have perfectly done hair, I had to go home and dry and style my hair myself even tho I paid and tipped for a service. Literally made no sense why she couldn't just dry my hair. Overall not a great experience and won't be going back. Edit: The fee was never waived which is why I cancelled my appointment entirely. You can go back and read the text messages but clearly you guys were saying there was no waive whatsoever which was so difficult to deal with. Also every salon I've been to always blow dries your hair completely after so having not finished hair was very frustrating especially after paying to get my hair done. read more

After being a loyal customer of another salon for over 15 years, I decided to venture out and find a new one. You see, I wanted something off the beaten path. Something different. Something pink. After my emails to my now former stylist went unanswered, I headed out on a Yelp! Search and came across several salons offering the ombré effect but wasn't too impressed. Once Hilights came into my view, and viewing their pictures here on Yelp, I decided to check out their site and make that phone call. The girl who answered the phone was super sweet, warm & helpful. I decided that this was it and I was jumping ships, finally trying out a new salon. I couldn't wait and made my appointment for the very next day. My appointment was with Gina. I walked in & was immediately made to feel welcome. Gina discussed with me what I wanted done to my hair and went to grab swatches of different colors that were similar to what I wanted done. The third one was finally the WINNER. Gina was so helpful, warm and super sweet. The process of getting my hair to where I wanted it to be began. Everyone working asked me if I needed something to drink, eat or wanted magazines to read several times. It was during this process that I met the woman behind the voice on the phone the day before. Trish was just as friendly and warm in person. I watched as she interacted with her own customer. She was definitely an example on what a hair stylist should be. After several hours, the hair was finite and looked fabulous. I walked out feeling like a million dollars. My iPhone had died during this time and I couldn't take after pictures. Mehhhh. Gina snapped a few with her phone and I am just waiting to receive them so I can show the world the fabulousness that Gina & Hilights had done to my do. Everyone working in the salon was an example of what people want to see and work with when getting their hair did. They were all so friendly and welcoming. After beginning to write this review I realized that warm voice on the phone, Trish, is actually the owner of this salon. After this five-star experience, I am above pleased & a new loyal customer of theirs. I just wish I would have made the switch sooner. Going here was the 'hilight' of my day and changed my view on salon experiences. Bravo ladies! read more
