Heated rollers

Post by mardi »

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know where i can buy a set of heated hair rollers? I have tried Aqua, Worten, Box and no one sells them. Plenty of tongs and hairdyers but no rollers.

Cumbria Sue.
Think the supermarket is called Pão de Açúcar. You thinking of the one with the petrol station?

I wanted a heated brush last year - tried all the usual outlets - lots of tongs, but very few brushes, poor quality and all expensive. Whilst I would have liked to support the Portuguese economy, I ended up buying in the UK and taking it out with me. I also had trouble finding some basic tools, and ended up buying in UK and posting them out there.
Last time I was out there I tried to buy some basic terrace tiles - traditional Portuguese ones - from the main outlets. No such luck.
It seems that now the big boys have done the little shops and outlets out of business they are more interested in selling what makes them most money.

And the electrical store inside is called Box.
Very helpful people in there, but as Mardi has said already tried it.

Try the large Chinese stores in Portimao just behind the Renault car dealership near the riverfront. The one on the corner sells just about everything you could think of.

Panic over everyone. Couldn't find heated curlers anywhere so had to drive to Spain where i found exactly what i was looking for in El Corte Inglais. Aa bit drastic maybe but I know have happy hair again.
