2dancersmum Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I want to send my DD off to vocational school with a good supply of hair pins and nets. I know on the old forum people spoke of buying tubs of pins but wondered if anyone could reccommend where I could get these from. I have seen some online but I have no idea if the pins are good or flimsy. Anyone able to help/advise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballet0 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 we just buy them from boots and my dd has a tub to put them in plus you can cash in your reward points x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amber21 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Some of the hairdressing suppliers even though they sell to trade some also have retail websites where it may work out cheaper. If you are friendly with your hairdresser they maybe able to get you a large supply on their next visit or delivery to their suppliers. Good luck Ax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildflowers Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 We live close to this supplier and have found the tubs of pins they sell good - not too flimsy and good value http://www.hairbitz.com/ they also had a fantastic deal on bun nets - we got something like 12 packs of 3 for the ridiculous price of £2.50 or similar.....HOWEVER, before this I did buy dd one pack of 12 of the 'bunhead' pins - dd swears by them, expensive but 12 pins was more than enough to keep a nice neat bun in. She unfortunately 'lost' them at a summer school so made do with the large tub but has begged me to buy them again! May have got them from dance direct, can't remember, will have a look and let you know! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemongirl Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Personally I've found 'normal' hairnets better for buns - you can wrap them over a few times and they seem to hold the bun in more securely. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumofballetmaddaughter Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 My daughter buys her pins/grips from Sallys (hairdressing/beauty supplier) as she's found them to be very durable and better than any others she's tried. The last set she bought came in a plastic box/carry case with different compartments in for the various types of grips. She usually buys her bun/hair nets from Dance Direct or Boots.

dancemad Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Morrisons pins are VERY strong & last forever. Definately hair nets & not bun nets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi4ballet Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Superdrug hair pins and bun nets have been my DD's favourite for years!!! We've always bought their bun nets as well, but I noticed the last time I got some that they have not only put the price up, but reduced the number of nets in the packet from 3 to 2!

wildflowers Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) further to my earlier post, agree, it was hair nets rather than bun nets, as my girls also like to wrap them around 2 or 3 times Edited August 22, 2012 by wildflowers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitschqueen_1 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 My own hairdresser kindly orders my DD huge tubs of hair grips and hair pins from her wholesaler. Cheapest hairnets I have found come from 247 dancewear in Rochdale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 They're not cheap but I always buy Capezio Bunheads hairpins and hairnets. The hairnets are big, durable, and the light brown exactly matches my dd's hair. They're about 99p for 3. The pins are a little expensive but are thick, long, and you only need 4 per bun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Beelam Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Bunheads (capezio) are the only pins & nets to use - once tried, you never go back...they do cards of bobby pins which are nicely coated to protect from hair damage too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
