Reviews mention

  • Exceptional hold for thick hair
  • Durable acetate construction
  • Bold, whimsical design aesthetics
  • Wide size and style range
  • Occasional spring durability issues
  • Mini claws too capacity-limited
  • Slides cause annoying hair snagging
  • Overly strong springs ergonomics

Chunks earns strong reviews that affirm it works: its jumbo and Nimbus claws reliably secure thick, long, and curly hair while looking striking. Reviews also flag weaknesses—springs can fail, minis run too small for full updos, slides snag hair, and the strong springs feel hard to open for some—making the brand excellent for hold and design, but fit and occasional durability quirks warrant attention.

  • I really like my Chunks hair clip! Before Chunks, I would just buy my hair clips from any old convenience store and when they would inevitably break, I'd just repurchase them because they were so cheap. But I've seen the difference in quality with Chunks! It's seriously durable and they have really funky styles. Perfect for gifting to the cool girl in your life :)

  • I am a die hard lover of CHUNKS hair accessories! Some are a bit too small for my thick hair but the nimbus and larger octopus clip do great. I love that they are ethically made in China, durable, and incredible prints and designs! Team Chunks!

  • Cute, creative hair accessories. I love their jumbo box claw clip. Definitely overpriced for what it is, but they make a lovely gift or treat for yourself if you want to elevate your everyday hair style!

  • True story - I got mugged while wearing a Chunks hair clip and fell backwards and hit my head. Not only did the clip not break (incredibly durable), it also protected my skull from hitting the sidewalk. Unbelievable product. Incredible hair clips.

  • Super cool designs and high quality feel. I have very thick long hair and their Jumbo Box claw clip works really well. However, if its just functionality you want you can find cheaper alternatives, you pay a premium for the designs/style.

  • I have been a customer of Chunks since 2020. Every clip Ive bought is still is beautiful, working condition. I often give Chunks as gifts because of the quality! The owner and creator of Chunks is transparent with manufacturing and all parts of production. The packaging is also adorable! The top three blue, pink and red, along with the bottom middle two, are chunks.

  • My husband got me a cute clip from Chunks for Christmas and I love it so much! The spring is STRONG! I broke one of my thumbs a couple years ago and ever since it has been hard to use and it's difficult to open this clip with that hand. For me, the strength of the clip is a plus though! My hair is very fine and slips out of clips easy but does not budget when I wear this. I really want more designs now. So cute!! My husband also said they have great customer service when he had a question about the order.

  • Chunks is the best hair clip/hair accessories brand!!! Bonus points for being women/POC owned and that their products are proudly made in China with high quality materials and labor practices that they highlight in their business. I’ve had most of my hair claws for several years and they’ve held up well even when in the shower (although I try not to let them get wet at all). They’re all super stylish and trendy and I love adding to my collection. There’s a ton of variety for all types of hair length and textures. I have quite long and thick hair and the claws hold it up well. Like I mentioned above they’re high quality so the price ranges from around $18-30 I believe but they’re totally worth it. I see lots of copycats but nothing compares to the real life Chunks and their cool designs!

  • The coolest hair accessories out there 👾 Seriously. I've upleveled my hair styling so much with Chunks. I get so many compliments on them. I like to keep my clothing fairly minimalist, so I love the pop of color and edge that Chunks clips bring. They're all super high quality, and there are different styles and sizes for all different types of hair. The only ones I don't love are the slides as my hair sometimes gets caught in them, but literally everything else from Chunks I've tried has been amazing.

  • Love it. I have a pet peeve of cheap hair accessories, I have very thick hair and a lot of cheaper brands either don't hold my hair, don't hold up, or both. Chunks is great quality, looks cute, and will actually do the job.

  • I received a couple of chunks claw clips as gifts and have had a really great experience with them both. I have a lot of thick, curly hair, and have broken my fair share of claw clips in the past. These have held up with consistent use for around two months. They are strong and I can feel the heft and durability of the plastic. After breaking so many clips with lots of hair, I’ll definitely choose to invest the extra little bit up front for chunks clips (and of course they’re so cute with so many designs to choose from)

  • I have bought hair accessories from Chunks three different times in the past two years, and my experience has always been great! Their designs are super cute and match my style well. I have straight, shoulder-length medium-thickness hair and the nimbus claws fit well for my entire head of hair, if not a little roomy. The mini claws don't fit much of my hair, and even for a half-up bun I need to use 2 for it to feel secure. I'm fine with this though because I like to mix and match the designs and I tend to wear them with a bubble pigtail look, or around a ponytail. I remember buying my blue wave clip hoping it would fit all my hair, but it definitely doesn't so I use it for half up styles. All my items are in great shape and the quality seems like they will hold up in the test of use and time! I always get compliments when I wear them, and I have defintely recommended Chunks to friends, one who actually went and bought some in a joint purchase we made (to save on shopping costs). Chunks' customer service is also great: I had made an order, and one of the claws I wanted went out of stock, but I saw they were back a few days later before my order was shipped. So I emailed them asking if they could add it to my order, and Kim responded promptly and made this super easy, plus she honoured the sale price I would have gotten originally.

    Feedback

    As a Canadian customer, I have two unfortunate cons about shopping with Chunks: 1. The prices of the products when converted to CAD are definitely up there, considering they are already quite a bit more expensive than other hair accessories we see around. Though I am happy to support a smaller, women-owned business, that also seems to have more responsible manufacturing than elsewhere. Plus their designs are defintely superior to anything else out there for me! 2. In my experience, shipping to Canada is not the quickest, my orders having taken near a month to arrive each time. And it's not like the shipping cost is on the cheap side either. Like I mentioned earlier, I made a joint purchase with a friend recently to cut down on the costs there for the both of us. But obviously these cons were not deterant enough to keep me from ordering from them several times, I just couldn't resist as you can see from the attached image of my little collection, so I would still recommend.

  • Lovely colours + super strong clips; great for thick hair!

  • I've loved chunks since the beginning!!! I have maybe 4 clips from chunks that I've owned for years, before they went big. They haven't broken or gotten damaged like any of my other hair products, and they just have a different feel to them. They're cute, and it makes me happy to see them in local boutiques and shops around San Francisco. I'll go to bat for them.

  • Gorgeous clips and hair accessories! I’ve followed them since they started. I love that they are Asian woman owned and proudly produce their clips in China. Fantastic quality

  • These are honestly the best clips I've ever used. Yes, you can buy a cheap pack of claw clips on the internet... but if you have long hair, thick hair or curly hair, a big clip from Chunks is about to change your life. It's the only clip I've ever found that not only has ROOM for all of my hair, but also stays secure and comfortably holds both the hair on the sides of the clip and the big bundle of hair within its jaws. I have some of the smaller clips and they're cute for fashion reasons but the big clips here are the be all end all for me.... they're one of a kind.

  • One of my favorite AAPI brands, the most aesthetically pleasing hair clips with the best holds! They often have great sales going on and fun new releases as well! I always have one in my bag just in case.

  • Obsessed - beautiful patterns and sizes. I feel like the cool kid whenever I'm wearing my claw clips. AAPI-founder.

  • I rave about Chunks to my friends & family ALL the time! Their products are my absolute favorite gift to give, especially for my friends with extremely thick or long hair. I have yet to find a hair clip that holds hair as well as these. I have even accidentally stepped on my clips before, and they haven't broken - they are extremely robust! My thick, coarse-haired friends literally swear by these clips; no other brand compares. The clips come in a variety of sizes to fit a wide variety of hair lengths. Plus, the wide range of whimsical colors (and extremely cute product names) are SO creative and fun!! I get compliments on my (excessive amount) of clips all the time. My favorite part of the website is the "Oopsies" section where you can find clips with cosmetic imperfections at a lower price. I love this business model because, not only does this allow more people to purchase and utilize the product, but it eliminates acetate waste too! The brand is also woman-owned, so that's another added bonus! Overall, could not recommend this brand enough. If you want to add a little ~spice~ or color to your outfits, colorful and funky hair accessories from Chunks are the perfect way to do it!
