No, I'm not yanking your Toni Pony!
When I noticed the Toni Pony stock dwindling down to just a few colors and a smattering of styles, I was afraid Toni might be packing up her fake hair and leaving HSN just like Ken Paves did.
Sadly, it's true, Toni Brattin hair extensions and beauty products will no longer be carried on HSN.
What are they doing at HSN to scare the hair extensions off these vendors?
I contacted Toni, and this was the statement she gave me about the situation:
"I have been offered an amazing opportunity to partner with one of the most recognized companies in the world, AVON. This wonderful opportunity will allow me to spread my wings and help women around the world."You can now find Toni's products on her website, ToniBrattin.com, and at Avon.com.

ReplyDeleteFor a minute there I thought Toni was headed for ShopNBC.

DeleteGood luck Miss Toni, she's just the best and I love her products, but, she'll make a whole lot more money with Avon, so, more power to her, and, HSN continues its mumbo jumbo selling of stuff, over priced tacky or, tacky cheap, which is good, makes me shop thre less!

DeleteBut I am going to miss flex pays! I have a very fixed income & flex pays are what made Toni's products affordable to me. And I just peeked at your Avon link - there were only 4 styles available & only 6 hair colors to choose from. Unfortunately Toni's site is not much better. Hopefully there will be a much bigger selection of pieces, ponies, clips, etc soon. Thank you for letting me know what's going on.
ReplyDeleteI hope Toni returns to her "roots" & higher quality products. I adored one of her front fillers, but the more recent version was so different from the original, though it was sold under the same name and description. Shorter hair, cheaper hard to manage clips, and less comfortable netting/webbing which showed due to the shorter product. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI love Toni products.. I sell Avon and Toni only has 6 colors available there. I was not happy with the DEMOs I ordered and had to return them..I think the hairpieces were better on HSN. Sorry Avon

DeleteI am NOT happy about toni going to Avon. I have also seen what they have to offer, no red hair. I have around 8 pieces of her hair additions AND LOVE THEM! I wear them often and every Sunday to church. When she first started with HSN they were afordable and good quality, in the last yr not so much. Need to start replacing them but also need to be able to afford them. BTW, they were the only ones that matched my red hair PERFECTLY!
DeleteShe was a nutjob and glad she's gone. She abused that black model Ingabore all the time and always shoving her fake titties in everyones face. what a sicky!!!
ReplyDeleteWHY DO PEOPLE LIKE YOU HAVE TO SAY NASTY THINGS ABOUT A PERSON. I KNOW IT'S YOUR OPINION BUT YOU COULD HAVE LEFT THE LAST PART OUT. IT WAS NOT NICE. ;0((
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteHaHaHa!!! I agree with you... She was a nut job!!! And also thought her fixation with Ingabore was creepy!!!
DeleteToni had 2 fave models...more recently, Ingabore. Earlier days, Carla. Both models have/had thin short hair. They were a good showcase for how much you could do with Toni's hairpieces, even with little hair of your own. It wasn't a fixation, it was just good business showmanship.
DeleteThis is an old thread, but since people are adding to it so will I.
DeleteI bought 2 Toni ponies back in 2001 or 2002, when she was on HSN. I still have them, still use them, and they still look great. They are the 12" flip ones; one curly and one straight. I have a decent amount of hair, but my own ponytails are wimpy. So I got these to add some bounce and volume, and for bad hair days. My hair is shoulder length, wavy to curly, can be frizzy, does what it darn well pleases. Can be blown out straight, when I have the time and patience.
For days I'm not feeling well, don't feel like washing &/or styling, I can pull my own hair back, attach a Toni pony, fluff up my bangs and be ready in a minute. Or, for a dressier affair, with little time to spend on my hair, do the same, maybe use the curly pony, after putting a couple curls in my own pony, or not. Add a pair of dangly, sparkly earrings, touch up makeup and you're ready.
I would say I wear one or the other on the average of 1-2 times/month. There are periods where a few months go by and I don't wear them, but that is seldom.
I don't wash them much, don't use spray or other products on them, no heat...just finger combing and fluffing, mostly. A little comb came with them; I use it to smooth the outside of the straight one occasionally.
I've never tried her wigs; don't need one. But if I should, I'd try hers first, having had such good luck with the ponies. They have been a great help getting me to work, parties, etc, when I've had zero time to do my hair.
And, I like Toni. She's down to earth and friendly, and I bet she's a fun bff to have. Say what you will, HSN made a big mistake letting her go. Some say it was Mindy Grossman trying to make HSN more upscale. PLEEEEEEEEEASE. With joy mangano on there, upscale is not a word I'd use to describe it. Not to mention the gushing, desperate hosts (ala colleen Lopez, Runyan, and the like).
Good luck Toni. Looks like you're doing fine on evine live. Best to you.
Toni is the real deal. She adored her models, worked well with the host, and embraced the viewers. I have 11 of her pieces and they are a hit with the young and the old. I always get wonderful compliments on my hair and that makes me feel GREAT! I will miss Toni's fun shows. She is entertaining to watch and made me laugh. Happy trails to you my " Hair Fairy ". Vavavavoooom!

DeleteI think most of the HSN hosts would scare anyone away, they are too over the top and the constant babling they do is SOOOOO annoying. I don't blame Toni for leaving, but she was good fit there, she's over the top too.
ReplyDeleteThe latest news on Toni as of 3/28/11 per an email I received from her site is that she in fact is now going to ShopNBC after all. I hope she will have a better stock of colors for her hair pieces then HSN did.

DeleteJeebus, Michwa, one post is enough, already.
DeleteI am a 66 year old woman and thought that I was ordering the product that I had gotten in the past from HSN that was Toni's i.e. tanning product. I ordered their new one which uses the name tanning secret and thought it was Toni's. However I realize it isn't but have order another supply as I am going to be gone on vacation and needed it as I can't take the heat of being in the sun anymore for the purpose of tanning. I have noticed that the tan doesn't last as long as it did the last time I ordered it. After I get back from vacation I will probably discontinue my order. I am on the auto ship at this time but there are no flex pays and so far I have have had to order the product three different times since my first order. The product does fades faster than I remember Toni's product fading. I have noticed that several products that I have ordered from HSH that are not Toni's are different i.e. Signature A products. Hope that this has helped other people with problems that they are having with HSN products. I have shopped with this company (HSN) since they first started. I don't think that I will continue shopping with them.
ReplyDeleteThank you,
CVL
Glad she's gone from HSN. Her wigs were awful. After sending back the third one, I gave up. They were way too big for your head, and the hair looked like it came from a doll's head.
ReplyDeleteGood riddance to trashy products.
I was a regular customer of Toni Brattin's. She was a wonderful addition to HSN. I enjoyed her smile and great sense of humor. Her wigs, hairpieces, etc are quality, beautiful colors, and good prices. I just went to her website and ordered the Alluring Wig. It is so nice to have found her. And I agree with the ladies. Most of the hosts on HSN are rude. They interrupt constantly, talking while someone else is talking and babble on and on. I get so tired of hearing them I eventually switch channels! Good to have you back Toni!!!
ReplyDeleteWell hello everyone. It's nice to hear that a lot of you miss the Queen of Hair and Tanning! Thank you for your kind postings. They are very appreciated. The Toni Brattin official website is changing regularly, bringing all the favorites as well as new! Register you email address and you will receive regular hair specials and updates! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have tons of Toni hair for sale - great prices - contact me! :) michwaswares@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI read on this blog about a woman named Michelle Hill who bought the entire stock of Toni Brattin pieces when Toni left HSN. I wrote to Michelle to ask if she had certain pieces that I wanted in the colors I was looking for. She had everything I asked for, and it was SO much cheaper than what the same exact pieces go for on other sites. She shipped them to me very quickly, and I was really happy with the way the whole transaction went. I'm a fan now, and will be going back for more. Thanks, Michy! If you'd like to write and see if she has your style and colors, this is the address: michwaswares@hotmail.com or you can call her at (517) 712-9622. Thanks, Tish.

ReplyDeleteNew FYI seems she has gone to ShopNBC now. There are a few pieces there and her tan product as well. Thanks for your blog!
ReplyDeleteI went on the web site michwawares and there wasn't one thing about Toni Brattin products that I could get up. Just wanted to let this be known in case there is a mistake.
ReplyDeletemichy you smell like a fake
ReplyDeleteShe never had enough shades for redheads; only the blonde red and dark red. There are shades in between. She has every shade of brown and blonde that you could want, but not red. Many people had posted comments on HSN about more shades of red and she never produced any. I had ordered many times in hopes that one would come close, but always had to send them back.
