The business was started because of, and inspired by, my daughter. She received beautiful bows on her first birthday from our friends. I was amazed at how well the alligator clip held in her thin and fine hair, and I was hooked! I started getting her used to wearing them by placing them in her hair while in front of the mirror. Once the bow was in place I would add, “look how pretty”! That must be how it started because my daughter now calls hair bows "pretties". After deciding to start my own business selling the bows that I make, I thought it was only fitting to name the business using her words. Thus Pretties, Bows and Accessories was created. And growing!
