Like many great ideas, French Barrelettes began as a spark, born from curiosity, necessity, and the desire to reinvent something timeless. For decades, our founder, Lisa, had relied on a wet-set ritual passed down from her grandmother to her mother, and then to her. Week after week, she experienced the unmatched beauty of hair set on French bouffant rollers: healthier, shinier, and styled with elegance.

But as the years went on, the rollers she loved most disappeared. For over 15 years, there wasn’t a single product on the market that came close to the quality, durability, and design of the originals. What remained were cheap imitations, flimsy plastic, sponge, or Velcro rollers that frizzed, broke, or failed to deliver. The luxury, elegance, and integrity of the wet-set tradition had been lost.

Determined to restore and elevate this beauty ritual, Lisa spent years reimagining the roller from the inside out. With patience, innovation, and craftsmanship, she brought together the right materials and expertise to create something entirely new: French Barrelettes. Built with a stainless steel core, smooth polyester fabric, and thoughtful design, they are engineered to last while honoring the elegance of the past.

French Barrelettes are crafted with love, integrity, and the highest standards of quality, made for those who already know the secret of the wet set, and for those ready to discover it. As Lisa says: “French Barrelettes are like jewelry for the hair.”
