Starlight Hair Studio is a private studio at 1593 U.S. 22 in Watchung, NJ, inside Phenix Salon Suites in the left hallway of the building.

Color is the main focus. First-time color clients complete a consultation, either in person or through the New Client Request Form. Color corrections begin with a $25 consult that includes a strand test, and it is required before correction appointments are booked. Custom color sessions are priced at $100 per hour, from 2 to 5 hours, and include K18, a haircut and styling. The 2-hour session covers root touch-ups, single process color, vivid refreshes, toning or glossing, and crown highlights. Longer sessions move into balayage, lived-in color, multi-color vivids and major color changes or corrections. Shorter options include a root touch-up with grey coverage and blending, and an all-over toning gloss, each with a haircut and styling.
Outside of color, the studio offers haircuts from a $20 bang trim up to a transformational cut and style, along with shag reshaping and children's cuts. Smoothing options are Amika Smooth Over Treatment, which lasts about 6 to 7 weeks, and Express Keratin Treatment using La Brasiliana Spruzzi, lasting up to 2 months. A blowout package gives five blowouts for the price of four, and styling is available for everyday looks as well as special occasions such as weddings and quinceañeras, where a consultation sets exact pricing and timing.
Booking requires a valid credit or debit card on file. Cancellations or reschedules are requested at least 24 hours ahead; otherwise a fee of 25% of the service price applies. A no-show is charged 50% of the service price, payable before rebooking, and repeated no-shows can lead to a booking ban. A 15-minute grace period applies to late arrivals. Refunds are not offered, but adjustments within reason can be requested within 7 days. Accepted payments are cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and exact cash, with a pay-over-time option on orders of $50 or more. The studio is gratuity free, and hourly-priced services are subject to yearly price increases. Children are welcome with an appointment, and one guest is allowed per appointment.
Works with one client at a time, consulting before color work and building custom sessions around the length and look each client wants. The stylist consults before services and explains each step during the appointment, according to client reviews on the site.
A cozy, private studio with an inclusive feel.
