    Just bought them from a hair extension place in Grafton Buildings on South Anne Street- 21.99.

    Do NOT buy them from http://www.velcrosleeprollers.com/

    I ordered them from that site originally and was told they deliver within 3-5 working days. 6 weeks later I was still waiting, and all my contact with customer service (emails) had been ignored. Eventually complained on Twitter and they rang me. They were sooooo ignorant and patronising on the phone and not willing to admit the fault was with them. He was very rude about his Irish customers, so I had to just get a refund.

    Delighted I found them somewhere else! :)[/couldn't agree with you more I had same experience -- they were disgraceful and I only got a response when i took to twitter - shouldn't have to come to that!]

    Can you get these on or very near Henry St anywhere?

    Also my hair dries naturally quite thick, curly and a bit frizzy, would I need to blow dry straight before putting them in? Thanks

    Yup, that's how I eventually got a response too! Disgraceful service! Glad you found better ones elsewhere! :)

    Never heard of these before but they sound fab. Quick question though, how does the top/roots of your hair look when you've used them? While I'd.love Kate Middleton curls, I fear I might end up with Princess Anne roots.as well!

    If people are having problems sourcing them I got some Boots own brand sleep rollers a few weeks back because they were cheaper and they're brilliant! Work best with slightly damp hair and a little mousse. Also seen another version in Terrisales.

    Thanks :)

    just wondering how exactly you order from these guys? just facebook mail them? cant seem to see a website link, or any pricing details, on their page (i think fb may have recently changed how people can view shop pages tho)..


    If anyone knows somewhere else to buy them in city centre it would be great, my GHD's broke so need something new :)

    millies.ie & beautyemporium.ie both have them, I ordered mine from beautyemporium.ie €22.49 delivered 2 days after I'd ordered - happy out (going to try them over the weekend) :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 33 CherrySue


    I bought them for €20.49 from Cloud10Beauty.ie and used them for the first time last night. My hair took 12 (Just below shoulders, average thickness) and they seem to have worked BUT when they say call them 'Sleep' rollers? They're anything but, absolute torture - I spent the night tossing and turning trying to get comfortable and when I did doze it was to dream about taking them out.

    Can't see myself using them again unfortunately, the pay off just isn't worth losing a nights sleep for.

    Ended up ordering mine from Cara pharmacy, they have 20% off everything at the min! worked out at 15€ or so a set, free shipping over €50 and was getting a few more bits so actually ended up getting two bags of the rollers :o (my hair is long and thick so I originally wanted one normal bag and the ten extra ones anyways, this worked out about the same).


  • Registered Users Posts: 6 tinat1


    hey -- first time i tried had same -- but then put them in slightly looser in so far as not realy tight on top and seemed work ok - -maybe give one other go as my hair is brill since i using them

    Love love love cara pharmacy. They are soooo cheap. 20% off ends Sunday at midnight!


  • Registered Users Posts: 195 ✭✭Belle Morte


    Just wondering if the pack you got from Cara had 10 or 20 rollers in the pack? I can't find any info regarding the number included per set under the product info. Currently on a bit of a shopping sprenzy with Cara now thanks to you! :D

    Now I am guessing you get two sets so 20 rollers in total. You could ring one of their stores tomorrow they have a few in Cavan, sligo, and Donegal I think! I bought
    Mine from hairdressers and got 2 packs so 20 rollers in that bag. Cara are so super cheap I highly doubt they would only give you 10!


  • Registered Users Posts: 195 ✭✭Belle Morte


    Well I took the plunge anyhow and ordered, I'm sure there will be 20 in the set, will let you know once I get them however! :)

    question, what products (if any) is anyone using with them? it's so long since I used anything other than some oil / serum in my hair I haven't a notion :confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 32 lola.bella


    Used them again last night, was up at 1 taking them out just to sleep..


  • Registered Users Posts: 478 ✭✭closifer


    I ordered mine tonight! So excited! Question - do you blowdry your hait first to add shine/eliminate frizz. Do you pit them in dry or damp hair?? Just want a few tips to get it looking as well as possible first time round


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,845 ✭✭✭massy086


    This is where my gf got her,s and she love,s them!! http://www.facebook.com/HaloBeautySalon9 only in drumcondra

    I put mine in when my hair is blowdried straight, practically dry but not bone dry if you know what i mean. Or if its straight day old hair too.I spritz a bit of hairspray in when they're all in and that's pretty much it.

    I use 2 packs (20 in total) in my hair which sound similar to yours. While they do velcro to your hair its best to use a kirby clip in each one to secure it a bit better. It might take a go or 2 to get used to sleeping in them as they're not the most comfortable but if you persevere you wont notice after awhile.

    Mine just got delivered :)

    Any products/mouses or anything I should use in my hair tonight before blowdrying straight?


  • Registered Users Posts: 125 ✭✭BogManInc


    Mind me asking how many come in a set? 10 or 20?
