Choose my finishSee how it worksDesigned around your hair
The curved profile follows the head. The locking shape holds the twist with Fiona’s distinctive turn-and-slide technique.
A finish worth showing
Choose a rose, white or yellow gold finish. Let the sculptural pin become part of the hairstyle, like a piece of jewellery.
The movement makes the difference
A little technique.
A lovely result.
Steel has a firmer feel than the original pin. Follow Fiona’s demonstration to learn the angle and placement, without forcing the pin.

About this piece
Experience the pinnacle of hair adornment with the Nº1 HAIRPIN Steel. Inspired by the sun-drenched elegance of the French Riviera, this high-end styling tool is meticulously crafted from premium steel. It represents the perfect intersection of fine jewelry and patented hair-care engineering, designed for those who view their hair as their most precious accessory.
Unlike the resin collection, the Steel version offers a weighted, luxurious feel while maintaining the signature 3D curved architecture that Fiona Franchimon is known for. This pin is not just a tool; it is a timeless piece designed to elevate everything from a casual day look to the most sophisticated bridal or red-carpet updo.
Recommended for:
- All hair types, especially medium to thick hair densities
- Special occasions: Weddings, galas, and formal events
- A luxurious, high-end gift for the beauty connoisseur
- Clients seeking a visible, metallic "jewelry" accent in their hair
Benefits:
- Premium Steel Construction: Offers a lifetime of durability with a sophisticated, weighted balance.
- Radiant Rose Gold Finish: A warm, flattering hue that adds a luminous glow to all hair colors, particularly stunning in blonde, copper, and brunette tones.
- Patented Structural Grip: Engineered to replace five bobby pins, providing an uncompromising, all-day hold.
- Anatomical Precision: The curved shape follows the scalp's contour, ensuring the pin sits flush and comfortably without pressure.
- Heirloom Quality: A hygienic and permanent addition to your styling ritual that will not lose its shape or tension over time.
How to use:
- Gather: Prepare your hair into a twist, bun, or sophisticated chignon.
- Position: Hold the style in place. Spread the Nº1 HAIRPIN Steel slightly sideways.
- Insert: Slide the pin upward along the scalp, ensuring it catches both the base hair and the gathered style.
- Lock: Push the pin in the opposite direction of the hair's tension to engage the patented lock for an effortless, jewelry-like finish.
Loshen & Crem’s recommendation:
At Loshen & Crem, we consider the Nº1 HAIRPIN Steel to be an investment in both style and hair health. Traditional metal clips are often harsh and abrasive; however, this steel pin is polished to a mirror-finish to ensure it glides through the hair without catching or tearing the cuticle. It is our premier recommendation for brides or as a timeless gift for someone who appreciates the finer things in life.
Technical Specifications:
- Material: High-grade Stainless Steel
- Design: Globally Patented 3D Curved Architecture
- Quantity: 1 Exclusive Steel Pin per luxury gift box
- Care: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its radiant metallic luster.
