Maiden America’s unbeatable Non-Slip Barrettes are only available

FOR DOGS & AGES 13+.

Until such time as we fully understand the requirements of CPSIA and whether costs of third party testing / labelling requirements make sense for our small company, the only reasonable choice at this time is NOT to market / sell for use by children.  Please bear with us while we work to update our site.

If you haven't heard about CPSIA (don't feel alone!), we encourage you to learn about it and the serious impact it is having on small business (especially handmade), libraries / books, schools, etc. here are a few resources we recommend: Amend The CPSIA, CPSIA Chronicles and What is the CPSIA?

"I give Maiden America props for being mom created, beautiful, and solving a common little girl hair issue like that I've heard so many times, "I lost my barrettes at school because they fell out at recess".

"What is the inspiration behind your non-slip barrettes? When did you decide to turn it into a business?..." continue reading interview by Business Opportunities Weblog Network

"I love her hair. Its gorgeous. But its also impossible to do anything with! Those little clippy barrettes don’t stay in. Even ponytails don’t stay in. The only success I’ve had is braiding it...Then I heard about Maiden America Non-Slip barrettes. When I was given the chance to review these, I mentioned it on Twitter and one of my Twitter people said “Let me know if they really are no-slip!”  They ARE! I did a little experiment. One morning I sent Princess to school with her regular clippy things in her hair. They were falling out before we even got to school. FAIL  The next day, I did her hair using the Maiden America barrettes. They stayed in all.day. I kid you not!" - That Crazy Mom

"Maiden America is known for their non-slip hair clips - and I will tell you that these suckers really don’t budge... Oh, and if you check out the Maiden America site and you’re dismayed by the prices (which start around $6-7), think about the money you’ve spent on clips that have slipped out, fallen out, been yanked out, and are now lost forever.  Really, if you’d just bought a few of these beauties to start with instead, you’d have come out ahead." - Mother Knows Best

"Since using Maiden America's clips; we have not lost a single clip in 7 days. These clips don't budge and also my daughter can't take them out. This is a God send for this mom whose little one is always removing her clips and running around like a crazy girl." - Maria's Space

Marias Space blog review Maiden America patent pending non slip hair barretts

"These gorgeous, sparkly, flowery hair clips are princess-approved and locally handmade by Maiden America. Special “nonslip” feature means these clips really stay in place, even on baby-fine hair. Support a super family-friendly local business and give a great gift at the same time!" - Parent Map April Raves

"I have to admit it was very entertaining watching her take the tiniest piece of her own hair (really, really tiny!), place one of her very pretty barrettes on it and ask people to try to pull the barrette out of her hair. People who pulled, tugged, and twisted to no avail were completely amazed, and then bought half a dozen sets." - My Spoiled Rotten Baby

Mom of Two Dancers Blog review Maiden America patent pending non slip barrettes

"There are three factors that I think make these barrettes something special. Non-Slip, Handmade, and Cuteness...this [Non-Slip] is no joke we put the barrette in Eva’s hair, went to the zoo and when we came home it was still in her hair. Not once did we have to adjust it or pick it up off the ground like we do with other barrettes...my one complaint is that it Eva isn’t that cooperative when we try and put her barrettes in her hair. We have some alligator style ones that go in very easy but they are also very easy to remove...so we distract her and get the barrette in. I’m glad that once it is in it stays in." - Read To Me, Dad

"I had the opportunity to try some of these great non-slip barrettes on my daughters hair. They stayed in her hair and look so adorable. I received so many compliments! They are also made with such great quality!" - Frugal Mommy of 2 Girls

Frugal Mommy of 2 Girls review Maiden America patent pending non slip hair clips

I have tried many barrettes in the past that claimed to be non-slip but once my girl got to going, so did the barrette.  Maiden America non-slip barrettes actually do what they promises to do - stay in the hair. - A Mom Speaks

"First lemme say, when they say these barrettes don't slip -- even from fine, silky, hair like Bethany's -- they are not kidding!!! They stay in place. For me that is huge not only because I can be confident she will not lose the barrettes but also because that means I have more options for fixing her hair." - Mama Drama

"I am very impressed with the quality of the barrettes I received, they look great and stay in place... They’re way cuter than the cheap plastic ones you can buy in discount stores and department stores that don’t stay in place." - Val's Views

Vals Views review Maiden America patent pending non slip hair barrette

"For both of my daughters, I prefer using the "french barrettes" -the ones with the little clasp in the middle. I know a lot of moms like the clippies but in my experience as a bow maker I have found that the barrettes actually hold the hair better. So, when we received the Maiden America barrettes and saw that they were attached to the MINI french clips I was THRILLED!" - My Trendy Tykes

"But, are they truly non-slip?  One of my daughters has thicker hair, which holds barrettes nicely, but the other has hair that is a bit more fine.  I'm pleased and delighted to report that the clips stayed exactly where I'd placed them.  No slipping, nosliding - and most importantly, they came home from school with the clips still in their hair." - Mom To The Screaming Masses

"The clips held her hair comfortably and securely and she looked adorable in it!" - Island Review

"The owner of a no-slip barrette company, Tristan, greeted us warmly, came out around her table to meet our kids. In a few minutes we were like old acquaintances: we heard about her kids, her friend with a child at Children's Hospital (my wife is an RN there), her passion for her company and what she's hoping to achieve in the community.  She was the essence of an "indie," wanting kids to be free of the incessant marketing they're exposed to..." - Brian Crouch

" beautiful barrettes that wouldn't slip, and wouldn't slide. They would stay put, no matter how fine her hair was, and how fuzzy curly it might be." - Creature Bug

"These barrettes for the tiniest of little girls, with the tiniest amount of hair, will stay put on their little heads all day. (We know because we tried them on our own "focus group" of granddaughters and their friends, aged eight months to two years old.)" - Gifts and Decorative Accessories Magazine

"I love the barettes because they really do stay in.  When we first got them, I opened the box to show the Toddler. After oohing and aahing and squealing, she started to cry a bit. I asked her what was wrong... "Nothing, Mama, they're just so pretty!" - Bananas & Toddlers

"They are made very well and didn't slip out of her hair. They also have great clasps so M was unable to take them out herself, which meant I could send her to school and she'd actually come home with it still in her hair." - DroolStreet Reviews

"Both of my younger girls have thin hair and barrettes, hair clips, etc. do not stay in their hair very well as all.  They slip down or fall out completely. So needless to say I was a little skeptical of these Non-Slip Barrettes.  Well my skepticism was quickly squashed with these barrettes. Not only did they not fall out, they did not budge from the place I put them in their hair. WOOOHOO!!   I can honestly say that I love these barrettes. The girls do too." - Laura Williams Musings

"Now I honestly say that as this campaign came my way, Lucy had just barely enough hair for barrettes, but since they said that these stay put in even the finest of hair, I couldn't resist. I was not disappointed. - Cheese Party Reviews

"But thanks to the gift my sister Tracey, just gave me, (The Non-Slip Hair Clip by Maiden America), I laugh in the face of my 9 month old's worst bed-head!" - Jessica New

"The biggest problem we have with barrettes is Marielle's obsession with pulling on them, and then promptly throwing them on the ground never to be seen again. These really are non-slip barrettes and will not budge." - Cootie Chronicles

"My daughter asked to wear, “lay-deee bug” almost every day for the past few weeks. These barrettes really do work too. They do not slip no matter what amount of hair I place in them and they do not pull or weigh down in a painful way." - Mummy's Product Reviews

"I was skeptical about the claim that these clips never slip, but dude. They don't.  The Poo wore hers to school AND the playground, then she wore them to the mall and outside to play in the yard.  Those suckers didn't budge." - The Full Mommy
