Bairnsdale’s Ella Baché salon has solidified its position as one of the premier skincare clinics in the country, securing first place in Victoria and fifth place nationally at the prestigious 2026 Ella Awards, held on Sydney Harbour on Saturday, August 15.
The national recognition coincides with a major milestone for the iconic brand, which is celebrating 90 years of operation.
Out of 16 salons across Victoria and 89 across Australia, the Bairnsdale team finished the competitive year ranked number one in the state and fifth in the nation.
To achieve these top-tier rankings, salons are evaluated against a rigorous set of criteria.
This includes meeting all business key performance indicators (KPIs), delivering exceptional customer service, maintaining excellent salon presentation, and demonstrating a commitment to continuous therapist training and upskilling.
As a designated high-performance clinic, the Bairnsdale salon is equipped with the latest technology and machinery to treat a wide array of skin concerns.
Therapists at the salon are recognised for their meticulous attention to detail and their dedication to guiding clients through personalised, long-term skin health journeys.
The salon offers a diverse menu of advanced and traditional treatments to the East Gippsland community, including:
– Advanced skin diagnosis
– Classic and high-performance facials
– IPL and Laser therapies (for hair removal and skin rejuvenation)
– LED light treatments
– Microneedling and micro/hydrodermabrasion treatments
– Waxing, tinting, and body massages

The stellar results at this year’s national awards demonstrate that metropolitan clinics are not the only ones delivering top-tier skincare, with Bairnsdale’s dedicated team proving they can match and exceed the standard on a national stage.
