Oh, I didn't know that.
There are a lot of beautiful dragon hairsticks out there then ;)

Thanks Angel! I was one of the ones looking for that.I did get a PM from the other gal that was on the search for it.

Still no dragonpin/barette.I emailed her and haven't gotten a response yet.I am waiting on pins and needles here!!!!

I have one. It makes quite a dramatic statement.
I like to wear hairsticks to convey a subtle message, mood or to just display my quirky sense of humor. (Yes, I dress for my mood . . . I'm still 6-years-old on the inside.)
This one is fun to wear for so many reasons and I always get a compliment when I wear it.

Strangely enough it's more expensive on etsy than on ebay:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10515343
Used to be the other way round.

[eadwine]

I always keep an eye on those things. Just buy wherever is the best deal I'd say ;)

thanks! I already ordered it 3 1/2 weeks or so ago and haven't gotten it yet :(

[eadwine]

It can take quite some time for it to get to you.. so don't despair just yet!

[AJoifulNoise]

*strokes screen and dreams* One of these days I'll be able to buy pretty things like that.

[soleluna]

I wanted to get it (since I wanted to do some retail therapy) but a friend told me I would have problems with customs if the seller sends it to me from outside the EU..

[eadwine]

Ehh.. that is nonsense.

As long as the value is low you are safe to order anything you like from outside the EU.

[soleluna]

You sure? thanks then!!

[shrimp]

thanks! I already ordered it 3 1/2 weeks or so ago and haven't gotten it yet :(


I'm still waiting on my order too.... bored now..............................
(still it will be a nice surprise when it does arrive and with a nice long gap between purchases)

[soleluna]

I just bought this (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10515343), this (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9725653) and this (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10515365)! I'm so happy! I hope they are as good as they look!

[eadwine]

You sure? thanks then!!

Yes I am sure. The same laws apply here. When value on the box coming from a business outside Europe gets to be over a certain amount (22 Euros in NLs case) you run the risk of customs slapping extra taxes on the purchase, depending on the value stated. I am pretty certain that is what the person was talking about.

Que is pretty cheap, so I doubt you have anything to worry about. Have fun with the purchases! :D

[Gwaihiril]

Ooh....pretty.

I notice that it says it's 6.5", but I assume that means overall length. How long is the functional stick? I've had problems with sticks being too short and falling out of a bun.

Even if you do have to pay customs - it's about 25% of the total value, which in this case is still cheap.

Once you start buying this in the 300EUR and up range, it's something to consider (ask me how I know. Or don't, I'd rather forget).

[Buraqina]

I'm so glad you posted that link on here - I don't often indulge in hair toys and it usually has to be something pretty special to get my attention but I found a couple of gorgeous pieces that I immediately fell in love with on there! :D http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=8001135
and http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=8001134 Have to say I can't wait to recieve them :)

I've been hit by customs charges before, and it hurts (the items coming to me were of high value) but I find they tend to ignore smaller purchases like these so you should be fine with buying them. Just my experiences :)

[Miss Murphy]

I just received two aprons I bought on etsy, shiped from the US. The amount stated by the seller was 40USD, but customs stamped it as "exempt from duty".

[Patrycja]

I just bought this (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10515343), this (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9725653) and this (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10515365)! I'm so happy! I hope they are as good as they look!

I'm waiting on the dragon barrette/pin and I'm going to order the dragon hairpin next.I like the butterfly pin :)

[sapphire-o]

Can you ladies use these to actually hold up your hair? Looks like everything is so short and delicate. My hair is not thick but I still need at least 5" functional length.

[soleluna]

I hope so, but will let you know!

[eadwine]

I have the owl stick which is long enough in usable length, but I don't dare put the same forces on it as on my regular wooden sticks, so it is held up with scroos mosly, the bun.

[soleluna]

Update: they arrive.. and they hold wonderfully! bun, french twist, whatever!

[eadwine]

Pictureeeess!!! :D

[soleluna]

as soon as my sister lends me the camera :D

[Loreyanne_H]

Soleluna, they are so beautiful!!!

[Flying Betty]

Has anyone tried one of the QueCraft forks? They look like fun and I've been trying to find a cheap fork to see if they'll actually hold my hair or not.
