Traditional Highlights
Foils vs. Balayage
Both techniques lighten hair, but the approach and end result are completely different.
Traditional Foils
Precise placement using fine sections wrapped in foils for maximum lift and contrast. Foils create bright, defined dimension from root to end—great for clients who love consistent lightness, cool tones, or high-impact blondes. Because the lift happens inside the foil, results are generally lighter and more uniform.
→ Best for: high-blonde looks, grey blending, or clients who want brightness starting closer to the scalp.
Traditional Balayage
Hand-painted lightening applied on the surface of the hair for a softer, more diffused transition. Balayage mimics natural sun-lightened tones with a seamless grow-out and lower maintenance schedule. It’s ideal for effortless, dimensional color that moves with the haircut.
→ Best for: low-maintenance brightness, dimensional brunettes, and that “lived-in blonde” aesthetic.
Edge + Aura’s take:
Foils deliver precision. Balayage delivers movement. We blend both when needed—because the right technique isn’t about trend, it’s about what your hair needs to look intentional, healthy, and effortlessly bright.

Modern Blonding
Modern Blonding takes traditional foils and balayage further. It’s a deeper, more refined level of balayage that uses a mix of advanced techniques—foils, teasylights, balayage, root smudging, and lowlights—to create that bright, dimensional, seamlessly blended blonde you see trending across social media. Think expensive without trying: soft contrast, strategic placement, and brightness that looks just as good in real life as it does online. → Best for: clients wanting tailored brightness, low-maintenance upkeep, and a balanced, “city-level” finish with real movement and depth.
Choose if you:
• Want seamless, modern brightness without harsh lines
• Prefer lower-maintenance upkeep and softer grow-out
• Need to blend old highlights, banding, or uneven tone
• Are starting your journey lighter or refreshing dimensional highlights after 14+ weeks
• Want that balanced, city-level finish with real movement and depth
Edge + Aura’s Take
At Edge + Aura, Modern Blonding isn’t about following trends—it’s about mastering them, then tailoring the approach to you. It’s a balance of strategy and restraint: knowing where to brighten, where to soften, and how to preserve the integrity of your hair along the way. We focus on healthy lift, precision placement, and balanced dimension that grows out softly and lives beautifully. The finish is refined yet effortless—color that looks expensive without trying and stays that way long after your appointment.
