www.HairBonBons.comUnlike most mom-preneur stories, I did not start this company creating hair accessories for my daughter. I've always been a more artistic and creative person and it was an outlet. I discovered how adorable some of the hair accessories were when my sister and I went shopping together. Since she had a daughter, we went to a childrens boutique where I saw some of the fun little hair accessories that were out in the market. I thought to myself, hmmm.....I'll bet I can do this too. So that's when I started to play around with ideas.
Soon after I started my “new hobby” I decided to go back to school and study fashion design. There was a creative yearning inside me that wasn’t being fulfilled by my career. I originally began my career in merchandise buying/planning. My goal was to work my way up the career path and then to eventually land in product development so I can incorporate a bit of the natural creativity I had to offer. I got restless. My job was mostly about numbers and I was still seeking a way to fulfill that artistic side of me.
After I finished design school, I continued making girls’ hair accessories which turned into a passion to offer something that was more MODERN, UNIQUE, COLORFUL AND FUN!!!! So finally after years of ideas, I started Hair Bonbons…..hair candy for girls. I like to combine different color and print combination's along with an assortment of fabrics and textures to create accessories that stand out from the rest. A strong focus on these details is important to me.
What continues to inspire me and my designs are current fashion trends and believe it or not....sweets! When I see beautiful, decadent cupcakes with all that heavenly frosting, at a bakery or pastry shop, I'm inspired.....when I see images of colorful and sweet bonbons wrapped so ornately in pastels, I'm inspired!! So when you take a look at my assortment of "hair candy", don't be surprised if your sweet tooth is satisfied.
All hair bonbons are handmade by me with love and care and I take pride in all my pieces. I hope you enjoy and love them as much as I do!
