D*** you...Carusos!

[Menina Preta]

So ya, it's 10.20 PM, I dried my hair 'free' under my soft bonnet and wanted to put in a little curl/straighten it a bit using my recently bought Carusos. Why the h*** is the plug some 'worldwide dual voltage' mess, the one with the round plugs? I don't have a single outlet in my apt that can fit that mess...Bah erplexed

Anyways, for the ladies with Carusos, do you have regular American plugs or the worldwide dual voltage (round) ones?

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

When I had my Caruso set it was with the regular type plug.

Thanks...this is what I get for purchasing stuff at TJ Maxx ...either a big hit or a big miss...boo.

yeah regular plugs here, lol. And I have TWO units, lol.

Hah, this is going right back to the store. Also, when I opened up the package, the rollers and the unit had a fine layer of dust on it. It's probably a good thing that I couldn't get it to work tonight or perhaps I would've gotten some type of electric shock from the unit being so dang old.

How much do Carusos go for in hair supply stores?

Anyways, I guess it'll be a bun tom, lol.

I got my caruso set from Sally's Beauty Supply for $29.99 and they came with 30 rollers. I too have the regular plug outlet thingy. I just used my caruso's today and in 30 minutes I had a cute little spiral set. I hope you get to a Sally's soon! I'm about to post my pics...

You can get a travel adapter for a few dollars at walmart, its usually in the luggage section. Mine has the regular american plug, but i bought it on amazon.

Yeah Sally's has it for $29.99 30 rollers, plus I got a box of the jumbos for free with a coupon... Plus I had 14 from the last unit I had (that stopped working), AND I purchased rollers from Ebay... I think I have nearly a hundred caruso rollers, lol

See...mine has only 14 rollers. I think mine is the travel set; thus, explaining the plug issue, lol. Boo, there are no Sally's around here...at allll. The closest one is in NJ and/or deep in the depths of Brooklyn.

I was thinking about that, but I think I'll just return it, get a store credit, and perhaps use it towards a new dress or sweater.

Yep...bought mine from TJ Maxx and the same thing happened to me! I promptly took it back and complained to the staff that they should have a sign on the box or something to let people know it's a European plug!

The original one I had was the travel set with the 14 rollers. The difference btw the travel set and the regular one is just the unit:

Regular two roller unit

Travel set single unit

Both of the ones I purchased looked like the single unit travel size, but one box had more rollers than the other. You'd be best to get it from a BSS it sounds like, or even Amazon or Ebay (I purchased mine originally from Amazon).
