Clip back is really nice, but you get more choices with the slide back. The only hazard with the clip back is getting your hair stuck in the point of contact. I didn't like the idea of slide back before because it's a 2 piece, but BJewelers attaches the rodpiece to the front. And it's really cool that they're adjustable to give more or less room for hair volume.

They also have something that looks like a really long hairscroo-- I have a mixture of homemade and authentic hairscroos and they're terrific.
ETA: it's called the Neeva Twist. http://bronzejewelers.com/hairpics.htm

They are very nice. They also have a trade-up program, so when your hair becomes too much for the snood you have, you can send it back for the next size up for a nominal fee.

well very well. Fran is incredibly nice and i's the handiest as a non-american to pay with paypal since they don't have a secure server and or otherwise forced to call you for your card information lol. they evn propose to customise sizes and stuff (she proposed for instance to make the teeth of the french twist comb a bit longer since i have long fine hair. i hope to be able to do a french twist pony with it.
i ordered three barrettes, the comb, and a hair pic with three colors. they still had to make the comb and the pic (since they are customized and will be sending them around monday (they are quick!!) and the postting is just around $20.

I use PayPal for lots of internet purchases. They have a secure server to handle the transactions and are becoming one of the most used and trusted "banking" methods on the internet.

I got my order in from Bronze Jewelers yesterday! I got the spiderweb slide:

and the Three Rose Tri-Color Pick:

http://www.bronzejewelers.com/hairpics.htm

Both are very well made and much prettier in person than they are in the pictures. I wore my spider slide today and it's held well with no pulling or slipping. They were easy to do business with and very fast. (gives off a glow of hairtoy happiness Cheesy

)

I can wear the rose hair pic if I put my hair in 2 cinnamon buns and put it through both of them; it will also stay in my french twist. My hair's thick, even though it's only 27 inches long, and that's probably why I can wear it now. I agree that someone with medium or fine hair would have to have long hair to keep the pic in place.
