FLEXI-8 REVIEW AND ~~GIVEAWAY~~



Sponsored by Tomoson.com



"The Flexi-8 is an attractive, flexible, durable and comfortable alternative to the plastic Claw clip.

It has been hailed as everything from the "wonder bra for hair" to a "god-send".

The Flexi-8 has become so popular via word-of-mouth, blogs and boards that we have shipped to over 39 different countries all over the globe.

Only found at Craft Shows, Festivals and the company websites, the Flexi-8 is virtually unheard of...so far"

I was very excited to get to try the Flexi-8.

I have very thick hair. To try and tame my main, I have to use four different products every time I wash it, and it still is very thick!!!

I was sent 5 Flexi-8's in various sizes. The two smaller ones would not hold up all my hair, but they looked great as little side barrettes.

The bigger ones are fabulous!! They held up my hair with no trouble what so ever!!

They are very easy to use, and very comfortable to wear.

These are some of my favorite designs from their site.



Princess Tiara dangle with tiny heart beadwork-






Perfect Purple stone cluster with matching beadwork-



Curls and swirls adorned with black and pearls-




"Here is our bio:
We've been in the hair goods business since 1992 when my wife wanted that first pair of beaded chopsticks. She bought the materials to make them, but then decided to go get the expensive ones at Nordstrom instead. I took her materials, fascinated by what they were selling for, and started making them myself in the garage. Enthusiastic, admiring friends bought them up. Suppliers referred us to contacts with major retailers nationwide and several million pairs later, everlasting success was assured........almost.

Trials and tribulations ensued, the product line expanded and contracted, and we lived life utterly dependent on what huge retailers sold or didn't sell for us. After 9/11 things got even tougher, and we retracted into the "lean times" I call it the black years-where we literally couldn't make rent. It was as if everything I tired failed. My Wife Missy, finally had had enough and sent me into the garage with instructions to, "pull out some of your old beads and wire, make something and go sell it......NOW or else" All Husbands know what "or else" means!!

I had so much raw inventory left over from my seven years of trying to make a go of big retailers and as fate would have it, one of the products I had the most materials for was the Flexi-8 clip.

I quickly began assembling product for a weekend marketplace near our home. I went to the marketplace with barely enough capital to get in, buy a hot dog and get home. By the end of the first weekend I had left with over $1,000. At the time, it was so significant. It represented hope. Tears and Joy followed. The real epiphany came when I realized I had kept doing the same thing for years and expected a different result. I now had a road map. I understood that no one would understand really how good my products were unless I demonstrated them.

Need for more financial stability led me to experiment with sales at a local farmers market where I quickly confirmed all the benefits, and potential, of direct selling. Then another moment of truth unfolded before me: I wanted to do an event but I couldn't be in two places at once. My friend, Shannon, suggested she would cover the Farmers Market if I wanted to do another event. Another "ah-ah" moment....duplicate my effort without cloning!

Thus, I sowed the seeds of a whole different way of distribution for our company without the impersonal retail shopping experience. Product demonstration, instant customer feedback, immediate cash results! Wow! A whole new world opened up, and with utility patent in hand, I set out to spread my enthusiasm for the Flexi-8 clip directly to others. They have responded all over the world. We have shipped to over 38 Countries! And without the willingness of my wife Missy to allow me to follow this path, the amazing life we share might not have materialized."
