Our Story
How it all began…
Jen, a runner, stay-at-home mom, and group fitness junkie, was always on the lookout for the perfect headband. One that was stylish enough to take her from the studio to preschool pickup, yet functional enough to stay in place without causing headaches. After much searching and even more disappointment, she sat down in front of her sewing machine with the cutest fabric
she could find and the first very first UrbanHalos were born!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She was so inspired by the patterns and colors brought to life that she knew she needed the perfect name for this new creation. The name “UrbanHalo” embraces the idea that each one of us is an angel to someone on this side of heaven… it hopes to inspire the God-given, passionate, joyful, adventurous, strong but humble, world-changing, active, forward-paying, loving, spirit inside of each of us.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A lot has changed since that first headband was sewn. Jen quickly discovered that the right material was key to the function of a headband. So she sought out to find the right material. After endless searching, samples and tests, she found a fabric mill {in the fabulous USA} to create just the perfect blend {lovingly referred to as ******}! This velvety-soft signature fabric is custom printed, using an eco-friendly waterless process, in each season’s hottest prints and colors.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jen then began sharing her halos with friends and family. Suddenly, an entrepreneurial seed was starting to bloom. She brought her halos into ten different local retailers and asked them to take a chance on her new line… by the end of the week all ten locations agreed to carry her halos! It wasn’t long before the halo love spread… not only can these be now found in the coolest boutiques, studios and salons across the US, but this little dream has also created jobs, supported families and allowed Jen to give back to causes that make the world a better place to be.
