Great product!

I bought this for my niece's birthday and she loves it! The price was the best I could find - great product, price, and shipping!

Worked excellent...for a day.

I waited for months to buy a Chi and finally decided to buy from Amazon because of how low their price was compared to all the other sites. My Chi was excellent (by far the best hair straightner I have tried) but unfortunately, the second time I went to use it, it would not turn on. I ended up sending it back to Amazon and was issued a refund because the supplier was out of stock and they couldn't guarantee when it could be fulfilled. If you decide to buy one, don't be alarmed if it stops working.

Broken or imposter CHI

2008-07-17
I was very excited to recieve my CHI straightner which I had heard so much about. When I recieved it promptly in the mail, I plugged it in and it would not turn on. Also the red bulb for the on indicator light was missing. So I never got to try it. When I returned it, I was told that the seller did not have a replacement. The item was a bit flimsy and I am wondering if it might have been an imposter. I am sorry I didn't get to try a "CHI"

Best Product Ever

I bought this product 1 year ago and have been completely satisfied with it. Before this one, I have tried a few similar products bought from target. They are totally waste of money. This one is more expensive but very efficient in hairstyling. It can be done in 5-10 mins, depends on your hair length and volume. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants straight hair. Keep it in mind that, use it after your hair is completely dry. It's not supposed to use with wet hair.

Great product for on-the-go person

I can be very lazy when it comes to doing my hair. I like to just come out of the shower and go... but my hair type does not let me do that. It can be frizzy. So using this product is the next best thing. It heats up super fast and is easy to use. After applying some sort of protectant (Frizz-ease), I just slide it down. The recessed plates helps not to burn your ears or face. I have yet to burn myself! And that is saying alot considering how inept I can be. With minimal effort the frizz and fly-aways are gone and with a little more work, I can get it silky straight. The only down side is that since my hair is thin, getting it so straight does make it look more thin. But it definitely is a great alternative to the wrist-aching feat of blow-drying and much faster.

Even though it is higher in price, it is money well spent and your hair will thank you!

IS NOT EXACTLY LIKE THE EXPENSIVE VERSION, BUT IS REALLY GOOD

My mother in law has a CHI Iron, and she paid almost $200 dollars. Sometimes I borrowed it, and it was exactly like the one used in the hair salon, I wanted to buy it, but it simply looked too expensive, so when I saw it in Amazon at $70 dlls I just bought it, I received it very fast, and I noticed that although the box and the iron look the same, the material that is made is different (not the ceramic plates, but the black material), is ligther than the one of my mother in law, but still works great, my hair becomes smooth and silky. To me, it makes sense the difference in the material, cause is cheaper, but the main function does not have a problem, I recomend it.

Very Satisfied

I have wavy hair that can be hard to manage. When I use the Farouk CHI flat iron it tames my hair! It actually stays straight the whole day, and the next! I would highly recommend this product.

Wonderful product - caution to those with fine hair

2008-07-23
I was shocked to see how well this product worked on my curly, thin hair. No matter what I did in the past, if my hair was exposed to humidity it would curl and frizz up. When I use the Farouk CHI iron, my hair stays straight all day long - and mostly frizz free.

I'd like to caution those with thin hair. Although I use a 'heat protective spray' before i use the flat iron, I've noticed more hair falling out than usual. I can't use this product everyday. At least if I go bald, the few strands that are left will be nice and straight. :)

Fast and easy

This is a great product! I have very curly hair and I love how this straightener takes the guessing out of straightening it. There are no temperature settings or steam settings, just on and off which takes the guessing out of it.

It takes me 10 minutes to straighten my hair which took me 30 minutes to straighten with my hot tools straightener. And it gets it much straighter! I highly recommend this product!

LOVE IT!
