Try buying magnetic rollers and doing your rollersets at home. You may want to buy a cheap hood dryer or just air dry it which takes a couple of hours. It's better to learn most of the styles you get at your salons because not all salons are reliable.
MY mother bids me bind my hair
With bands of rosy hue,
Tie up my sleeves with ribbons rare,
And lace my bodice blue.
Well I don't know about the salon you go to, but being a native Angeleno I can tell you that it is certainly not true that no one believes in roller setting on the west coast.. I get rollersets regularly, and no one has ever had a problem doing it..
I would say that you need to look around for a different stylist.. IF the person you're seeing cannot/will not do the service you want, then you need to speak up and refuse services you do not want..
I'll give you an example.. I learned the hard way that I cannot highlightn my hair without suffering severe breakage.. As a result my stylists KNOW that I will not allow them to do coloring services other than depositing color to cover my grey hairs.. No highlights or anything else.. Last year I went to a new stylist who INSISTED (despite my protests) that HE could highlight my hair and that I would not experience breakage.. I told him very politely but FIRMLY that I would add tracks or extensions strands if I ever wanted highlights from now on.. I will not EVER highlight my hair again.. When he persisted, I just simply told him NO and asked him to drop it.. and that was that..
I'm a big believer that it's my money and time and that I will not pay for services I don't want.. You need to do the same with the next stylist you deal with, or you can talk to the stylist you've been using and express your frustration and see if she is willing to rectify the situation..

Hello All-- I've been searching all morning for website that could help me and hopefully this is it.
I'm from NYC but have been living in San Diego for the last year and a half. My hair has been completely damaged since I've moved here. Back home I would go to the Dominican hair salons once a week where they would roller-set my hair. My hair was healthy to the point that I stopped getting relaxers three years ago. Unfortunately no one seems to believe in roller setting on the west coast. I've been to five different hair dressers and although they all promised me on the phone that they would roller set my hair when I got to the salon they all convinced me that the hot comb was better. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER. Now my hair is falling out and thinning in the front. I can't find anyone in this area that can roller set my hair and get it back to the way that I had it before I moved here. I cry almost every time I look at my hair. It has become so thin in the front from the hot comb. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do. I desperately need to see a hair consultant to tell me what I need to do.
