Who is Fiona Franchimon? The visionary spirit behind N°1 Hairpin
With her passion, precision and beauty, Fiona Franchimon is redefining the codes of luxury hairdressing.
Born near The Hague in the Netherlands, Fiona has never considered hair as a mere support. For her, it’s a means of expression, a language. From the age of 13, she embraced the profession of hairdresser, with a clear ambition: to offer more than what the industry was offering at the time.
A show like a haute couture atelier
In 2010, Fiona opened her own salon in the heart of the Netherlands, in the town of Zeist. She quickly established her style, halfway between technical rigor and a made-to-measure approach. She develops her own cutting and coloring methods, inspired by her travels around the world, where she studies hair texture, behavior and traditions.
Her objective is simple: to offer each customer a personalized, demanding and luxurious experience. She doesn’t sell a service, she offers an encounter with oneself through beauty.
The birth of N°1 Hairpin
It was in this spirit of innovation that, in 2017, Fiona conceived what would become her flagship product: the N°1 Hairpin. After three years of development, she has perfected a revolutionary tool, designed for every woman, every hair, every desire.
More than 2.5 million users worldwide have already adopted it. And why? Because this unique clip alone replaces five conventional pins, offering a firm, invisible and comfortable hold.
Its patented curved shape naturally follows the line of the skull. It inserts in seconds, doesn’t mark or break hair, and lets you create an infinite number of hairstyles: chignons, twists, half-ups, with or without mirrors.
Efficient elegance
The Hairpin is more than just practical. It embodies a vision of functional luxury. Unlike the aggressive metal tongs and gimmicky accessories that abound, it fits into a modern routine: time-saving, hair care, minimal aesthetics.
Fiona doesn’t follow trends: she anticipates them. Her accessory has been spotted on Fashion Week catwalks, used by renowned hairdressers and recommended by specialist magazines.
Instructions for use: simplicity and maintenance
Nothing could be simpler: part your hair as usual, twist slightly, insert the Hairpin following the curve of the scalp, and fix in the opposite direction to the parting for maximum hold. 30 seconds is all it takes for an elegant, long-lasting, pain-free result.
Fiona Franchimon doesn’t just do hair. She’s transforming the way women interact with their hair. With her N°1 Hairpin, she offers a simple, effective and aesthetically pleasing tool – equal to the demands of everyday life and exceptional events alike.
