An Honest Bellami Hair Extensions Review: Why Celebs Swear By It

The day I discovered hair extensions was a very special day. I spent most of my childhood idolizing celebrities and wondering how their hair always looked impossibly long and luscious. Meanwhile, I was at home trying every brush, serum, and styling hack under the sun—never quite landing anywhere close. I wish those years had come with a disclaimer: It’s hair extensions! You’re not the problem.

Ever since my first install, there have been very few times when I haven’t had extensions in. I’ve been obsessed since day one. For the past few years, I lived in a sew-in and loved the ease of it, but recently I started craving something new. That curiosity led me straight to the Bellami salon—and honestly, they’ve made me look and feel better than ever.

There’s a reason this particular hair extension brand has been beloved by celebrities since the beginning. In Hollywood, “hair extensions” are practically synonymous with Bellami. The brand never sacrifices quality and delivers a full luxury experience from start to finish. I’m genuinely grateful to live so close to its NYC location, where they install everything in-house. Once I found that out, I had no choice but to book an appointment. Here’s how it went down.

A week before the appointment, I went in for a consultation so they could really understand my hair and what I was looking for. They did a full color match and then walked me through the different installation options to figure out what would work best for my texture. K-tips, clip-ins, ponytails—there were infinite options to choose from, and I got to thinking.
