THE BACIAMI DIFFERENCE
At BACÌAMI, we don’t just sell hair—we set a higher standard for what salon-quality extensions should be. Every decision in our product development process is driven by real in-salon performance and the lived experience of our founder, Mel, who has spent over two decades behind the chair. Our extensions were designed not in a boardroom, but in a salon—crafted to meet the demands of professional stylists and the expectations of modern clients. From our ethical sourcing practices to our gentle processing techniques, every strand is chosen with purpose and tested with care. This is luxury hair that’s built to last, built to perform, and built for you.
NO ACID BATHS. NO COMPROMISES.
Many mass-market hair companies rely on acid bathing—a harsh chemical shortcut used to dissolve the cuticle and reduce matting. But the truth is, this process damages the hair beyond repair. It weakens the strand, compromises its structure, and leads to long-term issues like tangling, frizzing, and premature breakage. At BACÌAMI, we take a different approach. Our hair is never acid-bathed. Instead, we carefully preserve the natural cuticle layer and ensure that every strand is aligned and intact. This means the hair behaves like your own—smooth, strong, tangle-free, and soft to the touch. It also means it lasts longer, styles better, and stays looking beautiful month after month.
RICH, LONG-LASTING COLOUR THAT STAYS TRUE
Creating high-lift blonde extensions that retain their integrity is one of the hardest challenges in the hair industry—but it’s where BACÌAMI shines. Our blonde tones go through a slow, controlled 7-day lightening process that maintains the hair’s natural softness while lifting it to luminous, clean-toned perfection. We use only premium American colour pigments, known for their vibrancy, UV resistance, and fade-resistance—so you won’t find your icy blondes turning brassy or dull after a few washes. Your clients can enjoy low-maintenance glamour with colour that holds its tone and its value—so you can spend less time correcting and more time creating.
ETHICALLY SOURCED, EXPERTLY SELECTED
We don’t believe in blending hair from different sources or rushing production just to scale. Every BACÌAMI bundle is carefully selected from healthy, youthful donors and handled in small batches to ensure consistency, integrity and quality. Our direct, hands-on partnership with our manufacturing team allows us to oversee every step of the process—from donor to final packaging. The result? A consistent product that stylists can rely on, with no unexpected surprises in texture, tone, or thickness. It’s professional-grade hair that performs every time—because when your reputation is on the line, consistency is everything.
DESIGNED FOR THE AUSTRALIAN MARKET
From Queensland humidity to dry coastal winds and intense heat styling, Australian salon clients ask a lot of their hair—and our extensions are designed to meet that challenge. With a naturally dense structure, our hair holds styles beautifully, resists environmental stressors, and keeps its shine and softness even after months of wear. It behaves naturally, blends seamlessly, and tolerates high-heat tools without becoming brittle or dull. Plus, its durability offers a better return on investment for both clients and stylists—making it a smart, stylish, and luxurious choice for salons who demand the best.
