We have some exciting news to share — and honestly, it still feels surreal to say out loud.

Indigo Collective has been named one of the Best Full-Service Hair Salons in New Jersey by BestofNJ.com, recognized as the featured salon for Hunterdon County. Out of every salon across this entire state, our little corner of Lebanon, NJ made the list — and we are so, so grateful.

This one belongs to every single guest who has trusted us with their hair, their time, and their confidence. Thank you!!

What This Recognition Means to Us

BestofNJ.com is dedicated to spotlighting the very best local businesses the Garden State has to offer — from restaurants and retailers to service providers who go above and beyond for their communities. Being featured among New Jersey’s top hair salons is not something we take lightly.

For our team, this is confirmation that the work we pour into every appointment — the attention to detail, the ongoing education, the commitment to using only the best products — is being seen and felt. It reinforces why we do what we do every day.

And for anyone searching for a Lebanon NJ hair salon, a Hunterdon County hair salon, or simply the best Aveda salon in NJ — we hope this gives you a little extra confidence that you’ve found the right place.

What Sets Indigo Collective Apart

We are an Aveda Concept Salon located at 1386 US-22 West, Suite 5, Lebanon, NJ. That means we operate under the highest standards Aveda sets for salons — in education, guest experience, and environmental responsibility. Every product we use is vegan, cruelty-free, and eco-friendly, and that commitment runs through every part of how we operate.

Here is what makes us different:

Specialized Services You Won’t Find Everywhere

We specialize in the services that require the most skill and experience — balayage, blondes, brunette enhancement, and fashion colors, as well as hair extensions (beaded weft and keratin bonded), hair loss solutions, and precision, curly, and textured cuts. These are not afterthoughts on our menu. They are what we are known for.

A Team That Never Stops Learning

Our stylists bring a depth of expertise and a genuine passion for their craft. Indigo Collective is a three-time Salon Today Top 200 honoree, and we maintain that standard through ongoing Aveda education and a culture that celebrates growth. We are not a salon where stylists show up and coast. We are a team that pushes each other to be better every season.

Sustainability Is Not Just a Talking Point

From eco-friendly shower heads that reduce water and energy consumption by 65%, to real towels, eco-conscious cleaning products, and a dedicated commitment to zero waste in our color mixing — sustainability is baked into how we run Indigo Collective. When you sit in our chair, you can feel good about the products touching your hair and the practices behind the scenes.

A Guest Experience That Feels Personal

Our clients are mostly busy, career-driven women who value their time and expect exceptional results. We build relationships, not just appointments. With an 80%+ client retention rate and over half our guests pre-booking before they leave, the numbers speak for themselves — but what matters most to us is simply that every guest walks out feeling like the best version of themselves.

Together, our team serves clients not just in Lebanon but across Hunterdon County and the surrounding area — including Annandale, Somerville, Califon, Hackettstown, Raritan, High Bridge, Bridgewater, Glen Gardner, and Flemington.

A Note of Gratitude

To our guests: none of this happens without you. Your loyalty, your referrals, your trust, and your willingness to let us try something new — that is what built this salon. Every five-star review, every time you sent a friend our way, every appointment you pre-booked before walking out the door — it all adds up to this moment.

To the BestofNJ.com team: thank you for recognizing the salons that are doing things the right way, and for shining a light on what is possible right here in Hunterdon County.
