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.
