About our wigs

Hair is personal. So is everything we make.

Behind every Angel Wig is Angela De Franceschi - and a craft refined over 37 years of wig making.

Meet Angela

42 years behind the chair, 37 devoted to wigs

Angela De Franceschi began as a hairdresser and discovered her life's work when she met clients whose hair loss no salon could help. For the last 37 years she has dedicated herself entirely to wig making, and she has crafted soft-based suction wigs in Melbourne since 1995, pioneering them here.

A suction wig is not bought off a shelf. Your scalp is 3D scanned and moulded, real human hair is matched to your natural colour and texture, and the finished piece is cut and styled on you, for you. The result holds so securely that clients swim, sail and dance in it.

Just as important is how it happens: privately, patiently and with complete confidentiality. Many clients arrive anxious after years of hiding, and many fly in from all over Australia to sit in Angela's chair. They leave wearing their hair with freedom.

What we make

Three ways to wear your freedom

From full custom suction wigs to subtle camouflage, everything is matched to your colour, texture and lifestyle.

Full coverage

Custom suction wigs

Our signature. A soft base moulded to your scalp holds through swimming, sport and wind with no tapes or glues. Real human hair implanted into flesh-like scalp material gives a natural hairline and parting.

  • Individually moulded to your head
  • 100% real human hair
  • Secure in water and wind
  • Cut and styled on you

Localised hair loss

Partial hair pieces

Toppers, crown pieces and fringe pieces that blend seamlessly with your existing hair. Ideal for localised alopecia, thinning crowns and part-lines.

  • Colour and texture matched
  • Blends invisibly with your hair
  • Light and comfortable all day
  • Multiple attachment options

Diffuse thinning

Camouflage products

For diffuse alopecia and pattern baldness where a full piece is not needed. Camouflage products add density and coverage that looks and feels natural.

  • Instant visual density
  • Suits early-stage thinning
  • Simple to apply at home
  • Guidance included at consultation

Styling & care

Treat it like your own hair

Your vacuum fit hair prosthesis arrives ready for cutting and styling. Because it is real human hair, it behaves like your own - and Angela walks you through a simple care routine at your fitting.

  • Wash your wig every 7 to 10 days - the salon stocks the gentle, conditioning products that suit it best
  • Foil highlights, body or curl can be added to achieve your preferred style
  • With proper care, the life expectancy of your hairpiece is 2 to 3 years
  • Guaranteed against defective workmanship for 6 months after delivery; normal repairs can be expected after the first year
  • Expect your Freedom Hair wig approximately 4 months after your order is placed

Subsidies & support

Help with the cost

In Victoria, medical hair loss can entitle you to a government wig subsidy, children can access grants of up to $6,000, and health insurance extras may also help. We have gathered everything on one page.
