About Us

(Pictured: Chaya Rockford, designer of PROJECT6NYKIDS hair accessories with some of her nieces who also model for the company).

Hair accessories (and all things hair!) have been a part of my life since before I can remember. It's how my 4 sisters and I used to celebrate!

When our baby sister was born a month early, we spent that month making different crowns so we could give it to her the minute she came home. (Cool fact: in the image above, the girl on the right in our Glass Princess Headband in Rainbow is our baby sister's daughter).

Holiday Weekends? Us sisters were at it again! We'd pick from the forsythia bushes outside our home and make hair wreaths! (See photo of mini-me)!

In summary, our passion for crowns and headbands has been there since we were itty bitty! And it continues strong, just look at our timeline:
