Highlights Hair NYC has become a go to destination for foil highlights, balayage and hair color throughout the Upper East Side. Our colorists blend technical training with an eye for what actually flatters your skin tone, so highlights for blonde hair, highlights for dark hair and highlights for long hair all get the same careful attention. Clients come to us searching for highlights near me and stay because of the relationships we build over years of appointments.
We believe hair color should feel effortless to maintain. That is why every foil highlights or balayage highlights appointment includes guidance on home care, gloss treatment schedules and root touch up timing, so your dimensional color always looks fresh between visits. From partial highlights for subtle change to full highlights for a total transformation, we walk you through the options before a single foil goes in.
Highlights Hair NYC sits at 128 E 84th St Suite 1 in the heart of the Upper East Side, where we have built a reputation as a highlights specialist salon serving New York City. Our team focuses specifically on foil highlights, balayage highlights, ombre highlights and full hair coloring, which means every colorist behind the chair has spent years refining a narrow set of techniques rather than trying to do everything for everyone.
That specialization shows in the results. Clients arrive describing what they picture, whether that is sunkissed highlights for summer, a subtle highlight hair color refresh, or a full color correction after a box dye mishap, and we translate that into a plan using foiling, hand painting or a combination of both. We also offer supporting services including hair toner, gloss treatment, keratin treatment, hair extensions and haircut and style, so your color and your cut work together instead of being treated as separate appointments.
We are proud to serve a wide range of hair types and starting colors. Highlights for dark hair require a different lightening strategy than highlights for blonde hair, and our consultations always begin by assessing your natural level, hair history and desired outcome before recommending a service. The result is dimensional color that looks intentional, not accidental, and hair that stays healthy through the process thanks to bond building treatments woven into every lightening service.
Our professional hairstylists specialize in dimensional color, foil highlights and healthy hair care, bringing a luxury salon experience to every visit.

From foil highlights to keratin treatments, every service is customized to your hair type, tone and maintenance preferences.
Our foil highlights service is the foundation of Highlights Hair NYC. Using individually wrapped foil sections, our colorists lift and place color with precision, creating consistent, dimensional highlights that photograph beautifully in any light. This technique works especially well for clients who want a more uniform, salon fresh finish rather than a softer graduated look.
We size and place each foil based on your hair density, part and desired brightness, then finish with a toner to fine tune the shade. Foil highlights pair well with a root touch up for clients maintaining color long term, or as a standalone refresh for special occasions.
Book Foil Highlights
Balayage highlights are hand painted directly onto the hair for a soft, sun-kissed effect that grows out gracefully, reducing how often you need a touch up. Ombre highlights build on that technique with a deeper root that gradually lightens toward the ends, giving a bold yet natural transition.
Both approaches are popular for clients seeking sunkissed highlights or a low maintenance take on dimensional color. We tailor placement to your face shape, hair length and how dramatic or subtle you want the contrast to be.
Book Balayage
Not every client wants the same amount of color change, which is why we offer both partial and full highlight sessions. Partial highlights focus on the top and front sections of hair for a subtle lift, ideal for highlights for long hair or clients easing into a new color routine.
Full highlights cover the entire head for maximum brightness and dimension, well suited to highlights for blonde hair or a complete transformation. We help you choose the right coverage during your consultation so results match your expectations.
Book Highlights
Keeping your color looking fresh between highlight appointments starts with regular root touch ups and full hair coloring services. We match your regrowth to your existing highlight hair color, blending the line between old and new growth so there is no visible demarcation.
This service also covers all over hair color for clients who want a single, rich shade rather than dimensional highlights, or as prep work before a balayage or foil service.
Book Root Touch Up
Toner is what turns raw lightened hair into a finished, dimensional color, removing brassy or yellow tones and refining the shade to exactly what you pictured. Our hair toner service is included with most highlight appointments and can also be booked on its own as a refresh between visits.
Gloss treatments add shine and lock in tone while smoothing the hair cuticle, giving highlighted hair that healthy, reflective finish that makes color color look more expensive and last longer.
Book Toner or Gloss
Color correction is one of our most requested specialty services, whether you are recovering from a box dye at home, an uneven previous salon visit, or highlights that turned brassier than expected. Our colorists assess the hair's condition and existing pigment before mapping out a safe, multi step plan.
We prioritize hair health throughout the correction process, sometimes spacing sessions to avoid over processing, so you leave with color that looks intentional rather than rushed.
Book Color Correction
Going and staying blonde takes a specific skill set, from lifting dark hair in careful stages to maintaining a cool, brass free tone over time. As a blonde specialist salon, we handle everything from highlight hair color to full dimensional color transformations.
Our approach combines foiling, balayage and toning techniques as needed, always with an eye toward protecting hair integrity so blonde hair stays soft and healthy, not brittle.
Book Blonde Services
Our hair extensions service adds length, volume and fullness while blending seamlessly with your natural highlights or base color. We help you choose the right method and match tone precisely, so extensions look like an extension of your own hair, not an obvious add on.
Extensions pair especially well with balayage or ombre highlights, since the graduated color hides the join line and creates a naturally dimensional result at any length.
Book Extensions
Our keratin treatment smooths frizz, reduces styling time and adds a healthy shine, especially helpful for hair that has been lightened through repeated highlight services. The treatment coats the hair shaft with protein, sealing in moisture and reducing breakage.
This is a favorite pairing for clients who love their new highlights but want easier day to day styling, and it is part of our broader commitment to healthy hair care.
Book Keratin Treatment
A great highlight deserves a great cut to show it off. Our professional hairstylists shape and style hair to complement your new color, adding movement that lets dimensional highlights catch the light from every angle.
Whether you want a fresh trim, a full restyle or simply a blowout to finish your appointment, we treat cut and color as one cohesive service rather than two separate steps.
Book Haircut and Style
Every visit to Highlights Hair NYC includes more than a single service, it is a full luxury salon experience built around your comfort and your hair's long term health. We use quality products, bond builders and personalized aftercare advice for every dimensional color appointment.
