Re: Calista TSV - December 13, 2024

The old saying goes, "To each their own". I have the set from 2016. I have the short set. My hair was short then . But now my hair is shoulder length. I ordered the long set. I can still use the other set if I want to. I buy a lot from QVC. I am not one to write reviews. I just don't. If I were to write a review for the 2016 set I'd give it a positive review. I've had them 8 years and they are still working. Just my 2 cents worth.

Maybe there is a warehouse full of these unwanted rollers and QVC needs to move them out.


 

 

@Carmie.  For me with Calista products,  it's a case of....

Heck, I'm using sponge rollers everyday, used to use velcro rollers but I was losing alot of hair because I was pulling out instead of unrolling the curlers, the sponge rollers are inexpensive and works for me, LOL.

The reviews on the Q for this product are mostly bad. I got a set of 10 Remington rollers from Target . Theybwere inexpensive but they are my favorite the only downside is I wish it had maybe 2 more. But this is the set I always go back to.

@Bellini13back when I used to use hot rollers, I bought extra rollers for the set.  As I removed a roller I would add one of those extra ones and then move on to the next roloer.   Maybe you could get some extras for your machine.  I think I have Conair.  I know I still have that set and also a smaller travel-sized set since I would not have been without those rollers until I started getting perms.

 

I also still have a set of Hot Sticks.  Anybody remember those?  I used those on my daughter's stick straight hair for her dance recitals because those dance teachers always wanted the kids to have curly hair.  I burned my fingers on those things many times.

Everyone has to do what works for their hair.  To me, the style that hot rollers give screams the 80's/90's, and I have the pics to prove it.  lol  Straight hair is coming back in style, anyway, including bobs.


@AinhisgNever knew straight hair ever went out of style.  I'm beginning to see some more side parts vs center parts.  I think side parts are more flattering on most people anyways.  But I haven't been seeing a lot of curl.  I like curls.  That's why I get perms. But even with straight hair, including bobs, most people want volume.

I loved Amy's hair when she launched the TSV.  It's the best I've ever seen it.  She should stick with that style.  100% better than her regular style.

Yes!  For the past few months (or so), I've been using sponge/foam rollers, too!

 

I ran across an unopened bag of them from way, way back.  

 

They do work well.  I wear them overnight.

i think there are a lot of negative reviews because of operator error. they just need to try it a few time and find what's right for them. People try once and it doesn't look like it does on tv, so they give it a negative review. i've had good luck with her tools.

Re: Calista TSV - December 13, 2024

@scrapperlisa that was also my first thought. Hot rollers, really? I see they appeal to some people but I'm so over them.
