Our Story

What is a HairValier?

(hair-vuh-leer)

Derived from combining “hair” and “lavalier” to bring you the HairValier. A lavalier is an item of jewelry recognized for its drop from a chain or necklace, usually consisting of a stone or chandelier pendant. Similarly, a HairValier is a patent pending clip-in braided hair extension adorned with a pendant that we call a "Valier."

The beauty of a HairValier is its interchangeability. With just one braid, there are endless possible combinations as all braids and Valiers are universally compatible. The combinations multiply when you add more braids and Valiers to your collection.

Where it all began

What started as a last-minute request from a client looking for a unique style for an upcoming high school dance, turned into a fascination with an interchangeable hair jewelry system. From there, Nikki committed herself to creating a lasting hair accessory that boasted a multi-functional, trendy, unique, and personal way to express one's independent style to the world.
