About

Indie Darling Salon is a hair salon in Cedar Knolls, NJ, open Tuesday and Thursday from 11 AM to 8 PM, Wednesday from 10 AM to 5 PM, and Friday from 10 AM to 8 PM, and closed Monday, Saturday and Sunday. Bookings are made through the salon's GlossGenius page.

Color is the center of the menu. Services range from face framing highlights and partial or full foil highlights to hand-painted balayage, babylights, custom foil, balayage and ombre combinations, and color melts that blend several shades from darkest to lightest. Larger transformations, color correction, Mermaids-style creative color and all-over blonding are priced by the hour, with no limit on the technique or product used, and they require a consultation and deposit.

Haircuts come in named options that scale with hair length and texture. House cuts include a personalized design consultation, shampoo and conditioner, an aromatherapy hot towel, a blow-out, a styling tutorial and dry refinement. Almost Famous cuts add a gloss bomb and a deep conditioning treatment. Blowouts, a clarifying treatment, braids, and a night-out style service round out the menu.

New color guests must have a consultation before an appointment is accepted. Consultations are mostly held in person, though video chat may be allowed in certain cases. The consultation itself is free and takes 30 minutes. Cancellations within 48 hours of an appointment carry a charge of half the appointment total plus a product fee, and no-call, no-show appointments are charged the full appointment total. Buy Now, Pay Later is available in person for bookings from $50 to $4,000, subject to approval before the appointment.

Color work starts with a consultation for new color guests, and each service lists its own timing and what is included.
