I bought the daily clip a bit less than a year ago and I really liked it at first because it held my hair well. But it quickly warped and became less tight fitting than when I first purchased it. Then... See more

I LOVE their Daily Clips and Soul…

I LOVE their Daily Clips and Soul Clips. I own 3 Daily Clips and I have just purchased my 3rd Soul Clip recently. They are the only claw clip that can hold in place for my thick, long hair 22in hair. I use them at the gym on the treadmill for my daily walks and they don’t come out! I will be planning to use these at my clinicals since they really keep my hair in place!!!!

KOV!

I just received my clips and they are gorgeous. So excited to use them this summer. Happy I was able to get some stuff from their archive sale. I had problems with my order and customer service helped me solve the issues :)

Scrunchies are PERFECTION!

I bought the scrunchies & i am absolutely obsessed with them! So stylish & cute. I will be getting these in every colour! <3
Delivery time was not the best, the carrier doesn’t update the tracking very often, I didn’t know what date it was being delivered & it took a while to get out to the west coast but that is not a reflection KOV. Still a solid 5 star experience, despite shipping delays that are outside of their control! :)

Most expensive hair accessoires

I bought two products from kov. One hair clip and one scrunchie. The scrunchie seems fine and soft for the hair. But my hair clip is clicking when I open it and there are dents and scratches on the surface.
I would also not recommend you to buy from there if you live outside of American or Canada. You most likely have to pay for customs duty on top of the expensive shipping. I had to pay 10 euro shipping plus 13 euro customs duty. That was the most expensive shipping I ever had to pay.
Never again!
I don't get it. If you have to pay that much for shipping, why can't you guarantee that there would be no additional charge for your customer?

Hi Laura,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It's always best to reach out to our support team if you have any issues with products in your order. We checked on your support ticket regarding customs charges but noticed there was no mention of any concern with your hair clip.

We encourage our international customers to check our Shipping & Returns page prior to purchase as all information regarding potential import duties and taxes are listed on this page. Unfortunately we're unable to control these charges as they are at the discretion of your issuing border authority.

Large Soul Clip WILL HOLD YOUR HAIR!

I ordered the large soul clip. When I opened my package, I was skeptical. There was no way that was going to fit my 31 inches of hair. I was delighted to be proven wrong. Incredible clip, decently fast arrival time even though they've recently gone viral on tiktok. I just ordered a 2nd clip & won't be purchasing clips from anywhere else from now on.

Love this company

Love this company! Super pleased with their products and the time they take to answer any questions their customers have. I have super long and thick hair and their L-XL Daily Clips are the only durable claw clips that keep my hair up without breaking after a couple uses. Highly recommend:)

I love everything from this brand

I love everything from this brand. I have the daily clip in medium, large, and XL. XL can hold my entire long, thick, straight hair up with no movement or slip! It’s so comfortable I’ve fallen asleep with it in. I always get compliments on it too!
The paddle brush is also incredible. It gets down to my scalp-something 99% of other brushes can’t do, and goes through the entire length. I never feel like it’s pulling my hair or the brush itself will break.
Bonus: the brand is woman owned!

Best hair clips!

I have bought more than one clip from this company. These are the only claw clips I trust holding up my hair. I work with children all day and never need to readjust the clip. It stays in all day! The customer service and treatment the company has towards their clients is amazing! As a consumer, this makes me feel heard. Thank you KOV!

Never received my order, no refund, no further assistance. Don’t buy!

I purchased 3 pieces from you in May which have never been delivered even though it seems delivered on their side.
I was in contact with Lexi and Kelsie however they are not able to refund, resend my order or assist any further.
Last email I received was we cannot assist any further. I am out of money&my order.
Wanted sincerely support a small business but should’ve gone with bigger brands that you can actually trust.

Hi there!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review - we appreciate your feedback! Kelsie and Lexi were happy to make an exception to our policies and offer a replacement to be sent to an alternative address, but by failing to provide one within a 50+ day span, we had to close your ticket.

I bought a Cloud clip in March and the coating started peeling after only very minimal use. When I contacted customer service, they only offered a 10% discount on a future purchase. These products are not worth the money, in my opinion. Don't buy into the TikTok hype.

Lost my order, terrible customer service

I have had a terrible experience with Kov. I ordered three clips and paid extra for first class mail shipping, totaling around $70. My order has been sitting in the same USPS warehouse since June 16th (12 days now). I have reached out to customer service team multiple times, and spoke with a representative named “Kelsie”. She seemed pleasant enough at first; but her only response has been “we don’t know anything, but I will let you know when we do”. That was over six days ago, and now no one has even responded to my last email. There was no offer to resend the order, or to provide a refund. I fully understand this may be an issue more with the shipping partner than Kov (which they were quick to point out to me when trying to deny accountability), but you would think Kov would try to make it right for the paying customer? I am now having to dispute the charge with my credit card company since no one at Kov can provide any information or solution. Really frustrating and disappointing, especially from a small company that should appreciate the business.

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review; we appreciate all feedback as we are always working to do better.

Rest assured, in the case of a lost parcel, you will always be issued either a replacement or refund; we would never leave an issue like this unresolved. An item is deemed as lost after 30 days without a tracking update, but we have indeed reached out to USPS on this matter and are waiting a response. Given that this is an issue on their end and not yet at 30 days, we have to wait for a status update from the carrier as there is a possibility that your order is still en-route but tracking updates are failing to trigger.

Customer service is a priority of ours, and it appears as though Kelsie has responded to all emails regarding your inquiry within 1 business day. Kindly note that our customer service team works Monday-Friday only, and not on holidays or weekends.

We really appreciate your patience on this Sarah, looking forward to making this right for you. x

Horrible, do not buy!

Horrible. My clip broke three days after I got it and even though their website says 30 day free warranty they wouldn’t replace it. They said the warranty doesn’t cover the WAY my clip broke, I should have bought the extended warranty. For a hair clip. Also the biggest clip didn’t hold my hair and so I can’t imagine it working for others my hair is very average. Rude and unhelpful customer service. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

In response to your reply. This is my name and this is my email and I have one review written. I did leave reviews on different platforms because of the big waste of time and money this was I wanted other people to know. I can leave as many bad reviews as I want, that’s my right. I’ve left one on this platform. Seems fair.

Hi Hannah,

Thanks for taking the time to write a review! We were able to review your order from January 2022 and can confirm that your Daily Clip in size Large was broken due to a personal incidental; it was not a manufacturing defect or a concern with a defective product.

We have been informed by our server provider that your email address has been flagged due to harassment - multiple fake profiles have been made within review platforms and on social apps by yourself.

We appreciate honest feedback as we always strive to do better.

Delivery time

The product itself is just as beautiful as expected. The only thing I wasn't satisfied with was the delivery time. I live in Europe and on theyre website is only one delivery time noted. I was informed of the extended shipping time only after I already paid.
I don't expect them to be as fast as Amazon, but at least write it on your website, if your are already shipping outside the USA..

Loved it for a few months….

I purchased the mega clip in October and I LOVED it. I do use the clip frequently and I have long thick hair. I follow the care instructions to a T and never jump/stomp/drop the clip like they show on TikTok. Unfortunately it broke at the seem where the claw piece is connected to the the part you that has the hinge while I was just walking through the grocery store. I didn’t realize there was only a 30 day warranty, but for the price and the supposed quality I would expect a longer warranty for a product that will have regular use and is supposed to be “indestructible”.
I also wrote a review on the site, but it has not been approved yet and the link they sent for a review no longer works.

5++ stars

Products are not only cute but also work great! Extremely durable and able to hold my thick hair. My order shipped before expected and arrived like 4 days after ordering. I also felt very appreciated by the email + thank you note following my order. I don't normally write reviews but my experience with Kov was so good that I had to!! 5++ stars

wow ...

I purchased 4 months ago and waited a while to give an honest review. I am SO happy with my purchase.

I bought the Cloud Clip and Soul Clip and I genuinely use them everyday. Both of them hold my hair perfectly. I have thick long hair and the Cloud is best for when I want it all up, but the Soul is so cute for a half up style. I don’t know why people complain about the price of these. $20 for a clip that lasts, is made with eco friendly materials, and from a female-owned small business is SO much more worth it than the $15 ones from Amazon.

Customer service was also super helpful as I was originally sent the wrong item with my order - they re-shipped it and asked I donate the original item to a women’s shelter…so thoughtful and kind.
