Product Insights
The Croissant Clip from Simons offers a polished gold metal construction at $15 CAD, undercutting comparable metal alternatives by two-thirds, with an 8 cm width that balances standard acetate and compact metal clips. Its strong grip and hold secure thick hair effectively for half-up styles, but the weight may cause scalp fatigue during all-day wear and fine hair may slip; the gold finish can tarnish over time with moisture or hair products.

Deep Research
How the metal build holds up for daily wear
- Metal hair claws like this gold-tone clip typically deliver a functional lifespan measured in years rather than months — industry durability ratings classify metal as 'Very High' at 3–7 years of daily use, compared to just 2–6 months for common ABS/resin plastic clips, a difference confirmed by user reports of metal clips lasting three years with no sign of failure while plastic ones snap before first use.
- The clip's all-metal body brings a noticeable heft that aids in holding thick hair, and it delivers the firm, stable grip that hairstyling sources single out as a strength of metal over plastic — though that same weight can cause scalp fatigue during extended all-day wear, a compromise many heavy-haired users accept for the hold security.
Wearing a croissant-shaped clip without the bulk
- At 8 cm wide, this clip trims roughly 1.5 cm off the width of standard acetate croissant clips like the Maison Thomassin version, giving it a less conspicuous footprint that still reads instantly as a croissant — a practical compromise for half-up styles or finer hair where a full 9.5 cm pastry clip would feel oversized.
How this clip compares to other croissant styles
- At 3 inches (8 cm), the Simons clip is larger than the 7 cm metal Ankorstore croissant/shell clip (€13.95 MSRP) and slightly smaller than the 9.5 cm acetate Maison Thomassin clip, positioning it as a substantial statement claw that remains manageable for medium-to-long hair.
- Unlike the dominant acetate and resin croissant clips on the market — such as the Maison Thomassin acetate clip (€21, ~CAD $30) or the Brim on Fifth rhinestone-studded acetate clip ($18 USD, ~CAD $25) — the Simons clip is made of gold-toned metal, offering a polished, reflective aesthetic that elevates it from a novelty accessory to something closer to costume jewelry.
- The only comparable metal croissant-shaped hair accessory encountered is the Ettika Croissant Chic Hair Pin, a designer piece at $40 USD (CAD ~$55); the Simons clip delivers the same gold-toned, food-shaped novelty at CAD $15, less than one-third the cost.
