Pibbs Poll

PIBBS poll

  • Total voters
    113
  • Poll closed .
Tenjoy, what happens after the poll closes? The numbers are pretty close in terms of the 512 vs the 514 and the different dates for ordering. Will there be a single choice( e.g., the 512 now), or multiple options ( e.g. the 512 or the 514 either now or Jan 15)? I'm curious because I definitely want to participate but know that I won't be ready until after the Holidays. I think a single option may make the numbers of actual purchasers lower than expected.
 
I would like to get the 514, but if it is the same size as 512 I would take that to. Dec 15 is find with me. My main concern is, as my hair get longer (1 inch & half past BSL) would there be room :help3: under the 514 or 512 for my hair?

I was thinking the same things. First Im going to go over this info with the Pibbs guy, Im sure he can be flexible. After the first 50, we can still order on later dates at the same rate.

They are the same size, I use the purple rollers (next size bigger than the gray) (because I like a very loose curl) at the hair salon and still fit so you should be fine
 
Please let me know when a choice has been made because I'm ready to purchase now.....just bought a little hand dryer to do my own dominican blow outs and i'm too excited:yep:
 
I don't have a preference for either the 512 or 514. From the reviews I've read, they bascially seem the same other than a couple differences. I can either go now or Jan., depending upon majority.

...and thanks Tenjoy for all your research in putting this together! :)
 
After reading that the 514's air flow is stronger than the 512,I'm wondering if I should just go for the 512.I need something thats stronger than this gold n hot and if I'm going to make a big purchase I want to make sure I get the best one..Any one have any imput about this?

ETA:this is my current dryer http://cgi.ebay.com/Gold-N-Hot-Hard-Bonnet-Hood-Portable-Salon-Hair-Dryer_W0QQitemZ280167724868QQcmdZViewItemwith 1400 watts and the 512 descriptions says it has 1000 watts and the 514 has 1070.Does the wattage matter?

The pibbs is different in the way it moves air. That is why it drys faster and it cover your head. The manufacturer also recommends wearing a hair net because it can "pick hair up" towards the fan. But "ethnic" hair dont really have to worry too much about that.

Thanks. I have a Hot Tools stand alone dryer now. The problem is i can't fit a head full of gray or larger rollers. Do you think the Pibbs would let me do that?

If the difference between the 512 and 514 is just the temp control knob then I want the cheaper one. Are there any other differences?

The 514 has 100 more watts and faster air flow. This per the guy were I bought mine. The place right next to the manufacturer. I bought the 514.

Not enough of a difference to pay $100 more in my opinion, and yes it will fit your grey rollers easily.

514 may have a tiny bit more flow/heat, but not enugh to make a difference, and the 512 get HOOOOOT, so you wont use the maxium setting anyway.

THANKS Vester and Tenjoy! That solves it for me. I want the 512 now please. :grin:
 
Still in like Flynn. I am still wavering between the 512 and 514, since my head is not small :look:
 
I voted that I am ready whenever to order and the 512 will work for me. If not the 514 is okay as well. Thanks for the research and poll.
 
i went to a beauty distributor this weekend and i asked about the pibbs. he had it on the floor and i asked him how much it was and he said 199. i dont know which model it was and i'm not sure if he was quoting me the professionally licensed rate since thats what i get. how much is it here??
 
I am looking forward to the results. I still want the 514 and was able to make up my mind by finding out the 512 has no temperature control.
