Product Insights
The Shiny Minimalist Barrettes Set Of 3 from Simons is a $9 three-pack of snap-clip barrettes that undercuts comparable products by over 60%. Designed for fine to medium hair and small sections, the one-handed snap mechanism holds securely, and rotating among the clips preserves spring tension over time. The trade-off: the barrettes lack grip for thick hair or full styles, and their glossy finish requires non-abrasive cleaning with rubbing alcohol to remove hairspray without scratching. The listed 'Red' color is actually a deep reddish-brown and amber.

Deep Research
Caring for the shiny plastic finish
- Even light scrubbing with abrasive pads or gritty cleansers can scratch the glossy finish and permanently mar the smooth surface, so stick to soft cloths and non-abrasive solutions to keep the barrettes looking new.
- As with any painted accessory, apply any cleaner to an inconspicuous spot like the back of the clip first — this ensures the red finish won't fade or peel when cleaned, a step particularly important for high-shine coatings.
- When dulling hairspray buildup appears on the shiny plastic barrettes, saturating a soft cloth with rubbing alcohol and gently wiping removes the residue without clouding the gloss, as the alcohol dissolves the spray and evaporates without leaving streaks on the painted surface.
How the metal clasp holds hair
- The snap-clip design opens and closes with a simple press on the metal plate, allowing one-handed re-clipping without a mirror — a practical advantage for on-the-go touch-ups and quick style changes.
- Because the entire holding power comes from the metal spring’s tension, a set of three identical clips allows you to rotate them, ensuring that no single clip bears the brunt of daily wear — this keeps the snap crisp and the hold reliable long after a single barrette might have loosened.
Comparing price to other minimalist sets
- Within Simons’ own accessory collection, barrette sets span from $6 to $15 CAD, with the $9 price point of this 3-pack anchoring the brand’s core value tier—where most 2- and 3-packs live—and steering clear of the higher $12–$15 bands reserved for embellished or specialty finishes.
- A comparable 3-pack of women’s barrettes from Target’s Alilang brand retails at $16.99–$23.00 USD, making the Simons shiny set—priced at roughly $6.50 USD—one of the most affordable minimalist options available from a fashion retailer.

Q&A
3 answered- Are these barrettes suitable for fine, medium, or thick hair? Do they have a strong grip?
- These barrettes are small (1.75 inches) with a plastic body and metal spring—best suited for fine to medium hair. They provide a decent hold for small sections but may not have enough grip for thick hair or full styles.
- Are there other color options besides red? What shades are available?
- Currently, this listing shows the Shiny Minimalist Barrettes in red only. We do not have information on additional color options from this specific set.
- What is the total length of the barrette including the clamp? Is it designed for holding small sections or a full ponytail?
- The barrette measures 1.75 inches (4.5 cm) in total length—this is the full size including the clamp. It is designed for holding small sections of hair (such as a half-up style or accent pieces), not a full ponytail.
