About

Edge + Aura is a private salon studio in the upper East Wing of a historic factory building in Valparaiso that was once home to Valparaiso Institute of Technology. It sits at the corner of Joliet Road and Lincolnway and is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from noon to 8 p.m., and Saturday from noon to 5 p.m.

The salon launched in 2025 and says it wants to make space for people who have not felt at home in traditional salons, close to home in Valparaiso. Its core work is color and extensions, paired with precision cutting and custom color.

On recommendations, the salon says it aims to suggest what improves the result rather than whatever trend or popular product is current, and to be open about its pricing. Pricing is all-in, with services bundled instead of sold as add-ons, and the salon states that no gratuity is expected and that it does not upsell. Services can be booked online, with text messages kept for time-sensitive updates. A virtual consultation form and a policy and authorization form are available on the website.

The salon sells gift cards, and clients can check a gift card balance online. It has started a private-label line of luxury human hair extensions. Two offerings are announced for 2026: the Emersive Head Spa Experience and Non-Surgical Hairloss Solutions.

Recommendations are meant to improve the result rather than follow trends or popular products, with transparent advice and clear, all-in pricing.

A private studio tucked into the East Wing of a historic former technical institute building.
