Spotted: Tassi @ TJMaxx

Colonel Meow — Sat, 20 Sep 2014 02:39:19 GMT

I've been on the fence about ordering a Tassi from QVC. They are currently listed at $18.50 for a set of two, with $5.70 S&H. I'm been using a Tassi knockoff that I bought from either Walgreen's or CVS, but the elastic is almost shot.

So, imagine my delight when I found a real Tassi at TJMaxx for $5.99! They were not located in the beauty/bath&body area, though. I actually spotted the display by accident when I tried to enter the checkout line on the wrong end.

They were part of the "last-minute, on the go, grab bag" type of display that is typically placed at the register line. (This wouldn't be the place I would even look for a product such as the Tassi.) So, be on the lookout if you've ever wanted to try a Tassi for an excellent price!

I found some last year at our local Marshalls, and got one for me and one for a couple of friends. Then before I went away on business I found another one and got it to keep in my suitcase. Great price, indeed.

This is the first time I had seen it at TJ's. And I was lucky that the only color available was red, which is my favorite. Were all of yours offered in one color, or was a variety available?

The first time I got a green one, a zebra one (kept that one!) and a pink one. The more recent one I got the only one, royal blue.

I have something similar to the Tassi, but not exactly like a Tassi. It is a pair called Turbie Twist I got from Bed, Bath and Beyond. I love those things! If you have longer hair or really any length of hair, those things are a God-send. I won't be without them now. So glad I took the plunge.

I also have a Turbie Twist, and I agree that they are great. But it's a hair towel - not really the same thing. The Tassi is primarily used to sweep your hair off your face when cleansing or applying makeup. They are also good for keeping your hair up off your shoulders and dry when showering.

Oh heck. I use a homemade version…I use a wide headband and then put a hairband on my hair…does the exact same thing for nothing. Works for me.

LOL, that works, too! The primary reason I like the Tassi-types is that you don't need to use a hairband to "roll" your hair up into it. (Hairbands usually make dents in my hair, which means that I need to run the flat-iron through it again.)

Colonel I'm with you - I love my Tassi. It doesn't matter how long my hair is (or was...) it keeps it off my face and doesn't ruin my style. In fact, I usually have it on for about an hour in the mornings thru my shower and straight through 'til the end of my makeup session. It never bothers my style and my hair stays clean.

I WILL be checking TJs on my next day off for another at that price!!!

I found the Tassie at TJ MAXX and got two....love them because I have fine hair and a regular head band leaves dents in my hair, too. I had been on the fence about ordering because of the cost w shipping, etc. I am checking for more each time I go to the MAXX. Now I would pay more for them since I KNOW I love it. It makes washing my face and putting on products so much easier and no hair crinkles.

Yes, for that price I was considering going back to get more (even though the only color was red). I've seen reviews that say the elastic gives out over time, and I would like to stock up in that event!

Good to know, thanks. I don't get to my TJs as often as I'd like to, but when I'm there I usually have a few specific things I'm looking for. I will now look for the Tassi!

Thanks for the heads up. I've found them there before and went back today--there were two in the sale bin(full packaging) for $4.50 each. Won't be without these.

Well, you got an even better deal than me, didn't you?

I've probably had my Tassi for ten years, and the elastic has never worn out. I use it every day. I have a set of two that I ordered from QVC.

The newer Tassis have less substantial elastic that won't last as long. However, the design is worth having to replace it occasionally. My two originals from quite a few years ago still feel "stronger" than the newer ones. (I have a rotation ). Thanks again to Colonel Meow.
