From the Founder & CEO, Dr. Lisa Grain:
Wet Sets were a family ritual passed down from my Grandmother Ellen, to my Mother Carolyn, to me, and now to my Daughter Chelsea. It symbolized healthy hair care, personal nurturing, and love. Over time, quality rolling tools vanished. As a former Orthodontist that worked in the science and engineering of metals, combined with my family tradition of hair rituals, and love of bespoke design, I saw an opportunity to create something unique. I used my technical background, appreciation for craftsmanship, luxury and beauty to build the perfect rolling tool, creating the French Barrelette. French Barrelettes. A technologically advanced rolling tool, combining tradition with engineering, ensuring superior performance and versatile applications for Professional and at home hair styling. For those who know the power of a Roller…now discover French Barrelettes.
French Barrelettes x Fashion
In the mid-20th century, rollers transcended utility to become a symbol of glamour, confidence, and personal style. Today, the ritual of rolling hair on the Barrelettes is both an investment in hair health and an expression of elegance. Each French Barrelette reflects luxury, innovation, and creativity, and are the perfect hair accessory. Our couture design and bespoke production make the Barrelette jewelry for your hair. Wear them to showcase your own style and creative expression.
One Barrelette. Multiple applications
French Barrelettes can be used for both Dry Sets and Wet Sets. They work on most hair types and can also be used effectively on Extensions/Weaves, Wigs, Braids, Mirco/Sister Locs, and are gentler on color treated or compromised/thinning hair.
