“No Slippy Clips® have been used as clips for dogs for several years now,” reveals Salyer, “Following the success of our magnetic pinch clip, it was natural for us to extend into this $40 multibillion dollar market by adding two more clips.”

Unable to find anything that would stay in her infant daughter’s fine hair, one frustrated mother took matters into her own hands and developed a velvet-lined pinch clip. It was definitely an improvement over what was available, but when a magnet was added to the design, improvement became innovation, and a truly non-slip clip was invented. Launched in 2002, No Slippy Hair Clippy® has created a unique niche in the baby accessory market, where its ingenuity is widely recognized and rewarded.
