Highlights in Newark, NJ
Newark has 4 salons in our directory that list highlights as a service. That's a small, easy-to-scan set — you're not wading through hundreds of listings, but you also won't find them all offering identical results, since a "highlights" tag only confirms the work happens there, not which technique or style a given salon leans toward.
The four salons span three separate Newark zip codes, so geography probably won't be your limiting factor. What matters more is fit: a color specialist who does beautiful subtle babylights might not be the same one you want for a bold, high-contrast look, so it's worth describing the specific result you're after before you book.
How to Pick a Color Specialist Here
Ask to see recent photos of foiling or balayage work close to what you want — technique varies a lot between salons, and a portfolio tells you more than a service tag ever will. It's also fair to ask how long the appointment will run and whether a patch test is standard for new color clients, especially if you have sensitive skin or haven't colored your hair before.
Because the "highlights" tag here can cover anything from full foils to face-framing balayage, don't assume every salon on this list handles both the same way. A quick call to describe what you want — and to ask what kind of color work they do most often — will save you a redo.
The Rating and Booking Picture
All 4 salons on this list have at least one rating, and together they average 4.7 stars — a strong aggregate if you're trying to shortlist quickly. Booking online is the exception rather than the rule here: only 25% of these salons currently offer it, so plan on a phone call or walk-in for most of them. Review counts also vary from salon to salon, so when you're comparing options, weigh a rating built on more reviews more heavily than one based on just a handful.
