great info! I started this article but then was at a loss where to find the right kind of info for it. I suspect that if more Wikipedians were women this one would have been done by now :) Pschemp | Talk 20:09, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the corrections! I went for a perm today, and since I tend to check lots of things in the WP I discovered the German one in disarray (most of the information is in the Karl Nessler article!) and the English one, well, a stub :) And I was angry that I had not taken my digital camera with me to make a nice picture of the process... We live and learn! --WiseWoman 20:32, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jackpot!

Got a hold of a cosmetology textbook today and went nuts getting info for this article.  :) I feel like a wikispy. Changes coming soon. Pschemp | Talk 23:23, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

The permanent wave inventors name is CHARLES Nessler, not Karl Nessler.

I think maybe there should be some discussion of the poor choice of naming. I mean, the wave wears off...... 130.102.2.60 05:42, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
