hair steamers - who has one?

The Pibbs isn't digital... it has a knob for the timer and a knob for the temperature control (1-10 with 10 being the highest). This knob controls the amount of steam produced. The max time setting is 60 minutes. Umm... lets see what else :rolleyes:... oh, it has an indicator light to let you know when the water is low, and it also has a vent on the hood that you can open to regulate the amount of steam in the hood. I always leave it closed though. Hope that helps.

This helps a lot.

I'm waiting on Tammy from IBBE to get back to me with detailed descriptions of the other steamers I'm looking at. Then I'll make my final decision. Seems like this shouldn't be a big deal, but to me it is!
 
i ended up ordering a Aphrodite professional steamer :yay: i cant wait!!!

i'm surprised that a lot of people in the states dont get their hair "steamed" at salons. its very popular in england

Another small taste -- I ran a bath, turned on my space heater for 15 minutes with door closed until bathroom steamed up, slapped on some cholesterol conditioner, left the heater on (kept door closed), got in the bath with a book and a cup of Pepsi for 30 minutes and voila -- super moist hair and skin.

Thanks this is such a good idea
 
I just ordered one (free standing on wheels) from salonsrus.com and it was $139.00 w/free shipping. Since I live overseas the would not ship it to me but I had it shipped to my mom and then she will send it to me.

I got about a 2 week wait but I am cool with that as long as I get it before March 7 when I take these kinky twist out!!!!!

My Pibbs is coming in the mail AGAIN. I should have it by Tuesday. I dont know exactly what happened the first time but it started making a funny noise after I put water in it so I called Glamour Beauty and they are sending me another one Yea to customer service. What do you set your temp knob on? I am planning doing a treatment on Wednesday.:grin:

I normally ramp it up to 10... I figure the more steam, the better. :grin:
 
I just ordered one of these. After reading these reviews.

Next purchase is a Pibbs 514. Hopefully I can get the same deal but I'm only ordering one major hair item per month. Anything above $25 is a major hair item. :look: So the Pibbs will have to wait till next month. It's not like I do anything but airdry anyway but I want to rollerset or do the curlformers again.
 
I am on a personal 30 day buy nothing new for myself mission. At the end of my 30 days I am buying something big for myself. Thinking of getting a hair steamer with face attachment.
 
I just purchased the hair steamer and the hooded dryer from salonsrus....hope it was a good investment cause getting my hair steamed at $25 a pop is NOT the business

There is an attachment for the machine that you use on your scalp. Some machines come with it or you can buy it separately. It looks like this.

those that bought the salonsrus steamer , does it get really hot...i bought one but i was thinking it would get hotter than what i actually experienced...it was kinda lukewarm ...and i was under that steamer for 30-45 mins...and i did turn both switches on the back on...is there something im overlooking?
 
Your question regarding the steamer from salon R' us: I had the same problem as far as it getting hot and then I just turned on the "RED" switch,not both.
(The yellow switch will only produce some steam & luke warm) but with mine if I just turn on the red switch it gets a lot more steam and it gets hotter. Make sure the dial in the front (where you put your head in) is closed so no steam can escape.

Bless ur heart...imma steam again this weekend and ill be sure to try ur suggestion...thanks sooooooo much...yea the dial infront was closed so im sure its bcos i had both swithches on. Also, they didnt include the little cup that catches fluid in my box...imma call them tomorrow, cos i thought something was missing since water kept dripping out the front from the white lil pipe, until i saw a pic someone else posted and they actually did have a cup to catch the water.
 
I just ordered the table top model from Amazon.com.
I've always wanted one, especially the roll away, but I don't have room for it so I'll be happy with this one. It will actually work out better because it's portable which is a good thing since travel between 2 homes.
