  1. I have long hair and also my mother your hair forks are very unique. How about some more hair sticks with a extra classic feminine touch ;0)

  2. We want to know, what do you want to see in your hairfork makers?
    - Honesty, integrity, fair pricing and excellent customer service. You guys do wonders across the board here.


    what is missing in the hair toy industry?
    - Quality. While I feel Gratoe has the quality aspect down pat, so many other toys are fragile and overpriced.


    what makes our forks your favorite, or your least favorite?
    -- What I love about your forks is the natural organic shape, the hold, the way you let the natural beauty of the wood shine. And you humor my increasingly outlandish custom requests ;)



    what would YOU do different, or want us to do better for our hair forks?
    -- More light forks :) The woods I tend to like are very dense and heavy (Lignium vitae and ebony), which can make for a very heavy fork. Many of your designs are lovely, but just too much for my hair, both weight-wise and width-wise

    Keep up the great work!

  4. Thank you Nightblooming, for your positive encouragements,! we are working on a micro line of forks that are our shapes but much smaller and thinner, with reinforced tops for strength! we don't want to add to the already present forks that snap at the top with hair pressures!!
    WE will work on this for you!! thank you for your candid replies! we love and appreciate it very much!

  5. So glad to see you have a Mini-site on Handmade Spark. I have you on my XMAS list this year to order something special for my daughter-in-law. She has very dark hair with red lights...I think one of the GOREOUS red forks would be perfect. Hope you will please keep HIDE A HEART HERE in mind when making your holiday list too. Have a great day!

  9. Yes, I'm really late commenting on this. Sorry!

    I'd like to see more longer forks. I need at least five inches of functional length and not many of yours have that. My hair is tailbone but very thick.
    I'd probably like to see less wood burning because even though it's pretty I've seen some where I love the wood but not the design.
    Could maybe you add a key to the sizes on Etsy, basically explaining the differnces in sizes and things of the difference lines? Just to have an at a glance thing to look at.

    I only have one of your forks so far but I really do intend to buy more!
