From redundancy to TikTok Success – Neath entrepreneur launches unique boho accessories business
FeatherHeads specialises in real feather hair extensions and bold boho accessories, tapping into the revival of festival-inspired fashion with a modern twist. Hair feather extensions are making a serious comeback in 2025 – and this time, they’re TikTok-powered, festival-fuelled, and Gen Z-approved.
Once a major style staple in 2010s (featured on shows like The Vampire Diaries and Made in Chelsea), hair feather extensions are now seeing a fresh revival. TikTok creators are embracing the trend for its boho aesthetic, personal expression, and nostalgic feel – with hashtags like #HairFeathers and. #FeatherExtensions gaining momentum, especially in the run-up to festival season.
Key highlights include:
- Ethically sourced, salon-quality feathers
- Zodiac jewellery sets for year-round appeal
- A low-cost ‘Business in a Box’ kit empowering new entrepreneurs to start their own feather installation services
I’ve worked in marketing and business support for over 10 years, and after facing redundancy due to funding cuts, I took the opportunity to blend my marketing expertise with a passion for tangible, creative products. Inspired by my self-employed parents (an electrician and a hairdresser), FeatherHeads represents freedom, personal expression, and entrepreneurial spirit. Overcoming a lifelong struggle with shyness and anxiety around public speaking, I’ve transformed personally – I now regularly host engaging TikTok Lives, and I’m building a vibrant online community.
I officially launched FeatherHeads on TikTok Shop in March 2025 and am now introducing ‘Business in a Box’ kits this month (available through my website www.hair-feathers.co.uk). These kits cost just £45 but contain £80+ worth of supplies, enabling budding entrepreneurs to offer hair feather installations. Even small-scale entrepreneurs can quickly turn a significant profit by offering feather installations at festivals, markets, or local events.
This launch offers readers a unique entrepreneurial opportunity, appealing especially to young people, aspiring small-business owners, festival enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a low-investment, high-return side hustle. The feather trend is not only vibrant and fun but also promotes sustainable, reusable, and ethically sourced fashion.
