Metal hair clips

Product Detailed Description

Stamped metal hair clips earn their keep on salon back bars, in commuter bags and on retail pegboards where a small, sturdy accessory has to survive daily handling. The draw is simple: a metal body, a tempered spring and a hinge or rivet that keeps its grip.

Build and feel

Bodies are formed from steel, iron or aluminum, then plated, painted or powder coated for a surface that resists tarnish and holds color across a carton. Spring tension, smooth edges and coating adhesion are the details that separate a clip that works from one that snags or sheds finish, so check all three on a sample before committing.

Where they sell

• Salon chains buying for back-bar use
• Promotional suppliers pairing clips with packaging for events
• Importers assembling assortments by finish and size
• Gift shops serving bridal parties and students

Jaw clips, alligator formats and simple barrette mechanisms each suit a different program. A plain finish reads clean and modern; an antique look adds character. Logos print well on the flat body, making these a practical giveaway that lasts beyond a single season.

Review gauge, spring material and plating method, compare finishes across the range, and confirm the format matches the audience before ordering.
