Product Insights
Simons' Small Metal Star Barrettes Set Of 3, priced at $15 CAD and in stock, leverages a Y2K revival trend with celebrity endorsement from Rihanna, Beyoncé, Dua Lipa, and Bella Hadid; a Rihanna video appearance triggered a 50% category sales spike. At about $3.67 per barrette, they are cheaper than $4.25 rhinestone alternatives. The three 1.25-inch stars enable asymmetric placement to avoid a costume-like look, and the standard clasp closure secures small hair sections and fine hair, with cluster placement boosting hold. Nearly weightless, they prevent pulling and tension, and their plain silver styling transitions seamlessly from everyday to evening wear. However, the silver-toned alloy requires anti-tarnish storage, keeping away from water, hairspray, and perfume, and occasional polish. The main tradeoff is that the three identical plain metal stars offer versatile, non-costume styling versus rhinestone sets.
Verified claims
- Celebrity endorsement
- Rihanna, Beyoncé, Dua Lipa, and Bella Hadid have worn star clips, and a single music-video appearance helped fuel a 50% sales spike in the category.
- Value
- About $3.67 per barrette ($15 CAD for 3), cheaper than $4.25 for rhinestone alternatives.
- Y2K trend
- Star clips are a Y2K revival staple with celebrity and runway backing.
- Asymmetric placement
- Three 1.25-inch barrettes enable asymmetric placement, avoiding costume-like symmetry.
- Hair hold
- Each 1.25-inch barrette secures small hair sections such as side wisps, bangs, or a small half-up, and is suited to fine hair.
- Clasp mechanism
- Uses a snap-style clasp and is designed to secure and decorate sections of hair.
- Comfort
- At 1.25 inches, each clip holds only a modest amount of hair, so its own weight is negligible and it sits without sagging.
- Styling
- Polished silver stars transition seamlessly from everyday to evening wear without a costume vibe, with a minimal, classic, playful style and a whimsical mood suited to year-round, everyday women's wear.
- Care
- Silver-toned alloy needs anti-tarnish storage and occasional polish.
- Tarnish prevention
- Keep away from prolonged moisture and chemical contact; store in a dry, airtight container; buff with a soft polishing cloth.
- Design
- Set of three identical 1.25-inch (3.5 cm) five-point, hollow star barrettes in polished silver metal that can be worn individually or clustered for versatile, non-costume styling compared with rhinestone sets.
- Value comparison
- At $15 CAD (about $11 USD) for three plain metal stars, this set costs roughly $3.67 USD per barrette, under the Glitterati rhinestone-accented set's roughly $4.25 USD per barrette.
- Fine or slippery hair hold
- The small, flat metal clips hold fine, slippery hair better than bulky barrettes because they clasp small sections tightly; for very silky hair, a light spritz of hairspray or texture spray before clipping helps the hold last longer through the day.
- Measurement
- The 1.25-inch (3.5 cm) measurement is the overall length of each barrette end to end, not just the star motif.
- Material and finish
- The barrettes are silver metal, not plastic with a metallic silver coating; the exact base metal and whether the silver is a plated finish are not specified.

Decorative accent clips for a star-styled look
These small, open-frame star barrettes are made for adding a decorative touch to your hair, clipped along the side of the head. In the product image, the three shiny silver stars are arranged in a rough vertical cluster near the temple and cheekbone area, with each star sitting small and flat against the hair. Each star has a snap-style hinge with a narrow slot where the clip tongue slides into place.[1,2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Small Metal Star Barrettes Set Of 3: Choose this if you want a set of three small silver metal star barrettes for subtle accent styling. Each clip is an open five-point star with a hollowed center, a snap-style clasp, and a shiny polished finish, and measures about 1.25 inches (3.5 cm) long, so it covers only a small section of hair. The silver, one-size variant suits shoppers looking for dainty metallic accessories rather than larger statement clips.[1,2,3] | Shiny Minimalist Barrettes Set Of 3: Choose this if you want a practical, minimalist set of three teardrop snap clips in warm reddish-brown and amber tortoiseshell tones, with glossy shells and polished metal snap mechanisms. Each clip is about 1.75 inches (4.5 cm) long, made of plastic and metal in one size, and is intended by Simons to keep your hairstyle in place all day long.[4,5] | Diamond Metallic Barrettes Set Of 2: Choose this if you want a decorative accent for special occasions or everyday fine-hair styling: this set of 2 slim silver-tone metal barrettes features an open double-diamond design with an eye-catching metallic sparkle that even critical reviewers called cute, and one reviewer reported a secure, all-day hold without slipping on fine hair. Be aware the stiff hinge is hard to open and close, and several reviewers found it snagged or broke hair during application and removal, so the analysis suggests they are best suited to fine hair that is less prone to damage.[6,7] |
