Product Integrity & Certification Standards

At Salon Bales, product integrity is more than a promise — it’s our practice.

Every product we offer is developed, processed, and packaged to meet strict global standards for clean luxury, professional use, and long-term scalp safety.

RAW & STEAM-PROCESSED HAIR QUALITY STANDARDS

We offer two hair categories:

RAW HAIR

  • 100% single-donor human hair
  • Cuticle-aligned and intact
  • No acid washing, silicone coating, or chemical stripping
  • Natural texture (non-altered)
  • Sterilized in ISO-certified clean rooms
  • Humidity-controlled packaging with sealed bundles
  • Includes Certificate of Analysis per batch

STEAM-PROCESSED TEXTURES

  • Gently processed using heat and purified water only
  • No chemical restructuring or dyeing
  • Used to achieve specialty curl or wave patterns not found in raw form
  • Clearly labeled by texture and batch
  • Same ethical sourcing and sterilization protocols as RAW hair
  • Designed for longevity and repeated installs

All textures — raw or steam-enhanced — meet our Salon Bales Standard of Integrity.

ETHICAL SOURCING & TRACEABILITY

Every strand we offer is:

  • Voluntarily donated or sold with full consent
  • Sourced through vetted temple or village partnerships
  • Free of synthetic blends or relabeled bulk hair
  • Traceable by batch ID, date, and origin region
  • Reviewed for gray hair count, lice, cuticle wear, and uniformity

Our Bales Verified™ Report is available on every product page.
