Meet The Owner

   

The founder, creator, and owner of PLUG BUDDIES BRAND is Hailey Fons. She is a lover of festivals, live music, and adventure. She studied music in school and has attended countless live music events and festivals. After an injury to her ear in 2021, the use of earplugs became a top priority in her life so as to prolong her ability to enjoy live music, but also protect her hearing. 

PLUG BUDDIES BRAND was born from Hailey's experience sitting on the side of a path at a festival, rummaging through her bags, attempting to locate 1 of the 2 ear plugs she had been wearing during the set she had just attended. She was plucked from her festival joy and thrust into frustration and annoyance of having lost an earplug that she had purchased specifically for attending live music events. That loss of investment as well as having 2 more days of a festival to go, caused Hailey to think there must be a better way to keep track of these little plugs. 

PLUG BUDDIES BRAND is Hailey's passion project. She started making them for herself and continued attending events. People would notice them in a crowd, seeing her confidently removing her earplugs during conversations with strangers or during performer breaks, dropping her earplugs to dangle from her earrings safely attached to her ears! The excited reactions and desire from people she met on her adventures is what lead to this store!

Hailey believes no one should have to sacrifice style for function and that protecting your ears should be a first priority at loud events. PROTECT YOUR EARS AND YOUR OUTFITS WITH PLUG BUDDIES.
