Lilla Rose has been in the hair goods business since 1992 when John Dorsey’s wife wanted a pair of beaded chopsticks and decided to make them himself. He was intrigued by the market and started developing products for major retailers – from his garage. During this time he developed his patented hair clip – the Flexi clip. In time, he discovered the best way to sell his patented clips was with direct sales to customers. That’s because it’s when you have a clip in your hair that you truly understand how comfortable and different they are. To do this, he needed more sales people than himself and he started selling through independent stylists in the traditional network marketing model.

Lilla Rose is no longer a MLM

In February 2024, Lilla Rose changed from the network marketing model to an affiliate/wholesale model. There are no teams. If you buy from a link on this site I will earn a commission on the sale. My only goal is to serve you well before and after the sale so you will be inclined to buy through my link next time.

I was with Lilla Rose before this switch and tell you without hesitation that the company was never a pushy company. I only ever had one ‘team member’ – a friend who joined for the discount – and no one ever pressured me to grow my team further. There have never been any extreme sales minimums. It truly is a company that treats its sales team like family.

As a rep I have interacted with the office staff numerous times. I have always been greeted warmly and always get my issue resolved quickly. The staff is ready to go above and beyond to make sure that the end customer is happy.

It’s definitely a company you should feel comfortable supporting with your hard earned dollars.

If you’re wondering about me – this is a side business – you can read more about me on my main site here. I sell Lilla Rose because it’s a great product that I use every day that more people need to know about.

Where are Lilla Rose products made

I’m not privy to all the details of the business, I’m just a rep, but I’m pretty sure most of the products are made overseas in Asia – likely for the reasons most of our goods in the US are made there – it’s less expensive and we expect certain prices.

Although most products are now made overseas, the company is still based in Southern California. John remains heavily involved in the day to day business, working alongside his employees including his very first employee. The company is still small and truly cares about their customers’ hair health.

Also note, the design of the hairclips is patented. So if someone is selling something that looks like Lilla Rose, and it isn’t…

All Lilla Rose products are designed to be comfortable, secure, and durable as well as beautiful. The company works hard to design products that are gentle on your hair as they hold securely.

Lilla Rose has an ever expanding product line. Besides an everchanging selection of hair clips, they also sell hair sticks, hairbands, u-pins, bobbies and more.
