Experience Handmade Quality at TEGEN Hair Accessories
About Us
Who Are We
TEGEN is made possible by a small, close-knit team with a real love for beautiful, one-of-a-kind hair accessories. The business was founded in Brighton in 2012 by Tegen, and grew out of a boutique shop in the heart of Brighton's Lanes. We specialise in luxury, sustainable French hair accessories, and over the years we have become skilled and passionate about finding the perfect French clips for every one of our customers. Following the closure of our Brighton shop in 2020, we moved completely online so we could keep looking after customers wherever they are. If you are planning a trip to Brighton, our offices are located at 14 Tichborne Street, where we can take appointments if you would like in-person advice or recommendations. Book a personal appointment with us. You can also get in touch via phone, email or live chat and one of our team will be here to help you find the perfect accessory.
What We Aim To Do
Our mission is to create sustainable, high-quality, and long-lasting hair accessories that cannot be found on the high street. Our French hair accessories are made from the most durable and robust mechanisms meaning they will outlast plastic, high-street alternatives for years. Our inclusive approach means that no matter what hair type you have, we will work to find a luxury product suitable for you based on hair type, colour and occasion. We stand by our products and have complete trust in every accessory made, this is why our TEGEN Promise Guarantee covers all of our products. We strive to provide specialised, personal recommendations - get in touch and tell us a bit about your hair and we will do our best to help.
Our Products
We are very proud of our vast range of French accessories. No matter how thick, fine or ‘unruly’ your hair, we are confident that we have just the thing for you! Our signature line of stunning French Ooh La La! hair accessories is lovingly handmade one by one from sustainable cellulose acetate by a family-run business in Oyonnax, France. Each hair clip is perfected to an exacting 10 step process ensuring the highest quality. This small team has been hand-making these hair clips since 1892, so we know they are the best of the best.
Our Philosophy
We have worked with the same small, family-run workshop in France since 2012, and they have been making truly beautiful hair clips since 1892. We collaborate to design and create beautiful, unique products from sustainable materials such as cellulose acetate that are polished and finished to the highest standard. We are passionate about quality and believe our hair accessories are worth the investment. Our hair accessories will last you for a lifetime compared to high street alternatives. We believe your hair is worth investing in.
Our Achievements
We are proud to share that we won the Best Marketing Campaign award at the BizX Awards 2022, where we were also finalists for Best Customer Service, Best Overall Company, Best E-Commerce Business and Best Retailer.
