Not worried about whether Jennifer sees my post, just wanted to respond so others could see that other men get their hair set. We still have a number of beauty parlors in our area that do wash & sets. True they are not as popular as they once were, however, there still are quite a few around.

So I just found this forum and was wondering how many of you have actually seen men getting wet sets at the salons you go to or work at.
My second question is do women actually have their hair set at the salons still.

My husband & I go every week......we have seen two other men get wet sets in the 6+ years we have been going. Our hairdresser though said that there were about 3-4 other men that come to get weekly sets also.

I've set my own hair many times over the years, but never had it done at a salon. I rarely do these days, but when I do it usually looks so good I wonder why I don't more often. Society at large has gotten away from formality in many ways and hair setting is one of those rituals that fit into the formal look more. Usually when I say something is out of fashion it's back in a year or two, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if hairsetting returns to popularity at some point.

As a guy, I love getting my hair set in rollers and getting perms and color/highlights.  My wife loves my hair with curls and encourages me to keep it curly.

I'm a guy and I get roller sets with perm rods on average of once a month. I have naturally curly hair but it's more of a wave whereas the perm rods give it more of a defined curly pattern. At first as a guy, I felt awkward going to the salon to have this done but in general I haven't gotten the sideways looks that I thought I was going to get. I feel no shame at all.
