I had it for about a year and I don't use it very often. (average three times a month) I was using like normal and it just turned off. I can not get it to turn back on again. I called the company and they were useless!!! DO NOT BUY! (read more)

Written on: 19/06/2010
I had the Hardcore Flat Iron for almost a year. Towards the end, I noticed little things like it wouldnt heat up right away anymore. Then it would not turn on but after waiting an hour it would eventually come on. The final straw was when it overheated causing me to burn off half of my bangs. It did fine the rest of my hair. I contacted the company and they wanted me to pay to ship it back and then send them money to send me a new one. I dont think so (read more)

The cord is very poor quality. It shorts out and shoots sparks. I don't see a UL listing on it so it's probably not safe to use. (read more)

Written on: 23/03/2010
After 8 months (very light usuage) the cord seemed to come loose and it would stay on with adjusting the cord. Now I have stopped using it altogether because it sounds like it is shorting out. As I mentioned this is with very light usuage - maybe two to three times per week at the most. After reading the other reviews I definitely would not recommend this product because of the danger!

Written on: 03/09/2009
I have purchased 2 'lil hottie' flat irons. Initially, they heat well, but eventually the heating element seems to weaken. Also, the switch design (on the cord)is terrible, as it continually catches on the counter and switches to 'off' which is an awful nuisance and inconvenience. I have wanted to send an email to the manufacturer regarding this poor design, but I have been unable to find the company on the internet. The positive aspect of the TIGI Hardcore Flat Iron is that is is very easy... (read more)

I love my TIGI Hardcore Flat Iron straighteners. Im not happy though after less then one year the swivel cord has caused it not to work! I want a replacement but dont have my receipt I want to find somewhere or someone to repair it! I have to say this is the best one Ive ever purchased and it has not caused damage to my hair!

I absolutely love the Tigi hardcore flat iron straightener! My mother gave it to me for my birthday and it was the best one I have ever had! I cannot find it in any stores though and I haven't found any discounts or coupons for it! I really want another one of the hardcore straighteners! The only little thing wrong was that mine lasted for about two months! Overall, I love these straighteners! (read more)

Written on: 07/05/2009 by LanaBStar (1 review written)
I've had this iron (Lil' Hottie) for about 3 or 4 years and used it on a near daily basis. My hair is fine and ranges from short to medium length. This iron has always done the trick, great for getting those little unruly bangs to calm down.
The iron heats up fast and has never pulled my hair like other people said, maybe they aren't using the Hardcore version? The Hardcore line is the professional one meant for use in salons and such, but TIGI also has another lower priced line of hair tools...

I got the Tigi Hardcore Flat Iron (in 2 sizes) way back in 2001 and I still have both of them now. I absolutely LOVE it, it heats up fast, gives me the pin straight hair and it doesn't frizz my hair. I never had a problem with it snagging my hair and I have semi-wavy coarse hair. (read more)

Written on: 26/06/2008
The TIGI Hardcore Flat Iron is poor. It pulls your hair, it takes a long time to heat up, it takes a long time to straighten your hair, by the next day your hair can lose shape and go back to being almost the way it was before you ironed it, it makes your hand sore. I threw my money away on this trash. I don't recommend it to anybody. (read more)

I am a little nervous about the TIGI Hardcore! I noticed that most of the posts were old so maybe since mine is newer i won't have that problem! I guess we'll have to wait and see. (read more)

Written on: 01/08/2007 by Tweety8395 (1 review written)
Obviously, I'm not the only one that has had their TIGI Hardcore Flat Iron catch on fire. Today I plugged into my masterbath, and was going to let it heat up- as I was leaving it started sparking and black smoke poured out! I'm so glad I didn't get out of the bathroom, because my infant daughter was asleep in her crib, in the bedroom! Can you imagine? I'm shaken just thinking about it! Now, I will try to resolve this with the company, but by other reviews, it looks to be a task! (read more)

I've had my TIGI Hardcore Flat Iron for about a year, and I was generally happy with it at first, and appreciated having a flat iron that heated up quickly. Although, a couple of days ago, I went to plug it in my bathroom and it blew the outlet out. I thought maybe it was just a bad outlet, but then when I went to try it in my other bathroom, it did the same thing. Being stubborn, I tried one more outlet in my bathroom, determined that it would work, and it didn't only blow the outlet,... (read more)

I posted a review about a month ago about the TIGI Hardcore Flatiron that caught on fire in my bathroom. Well today another one (that they replaced from the salon) blew sparks in my face and then died. Thank God it didn't catch on fire like the last one. This is such a waste of money. Try a CHI. Hardcore products are not reliable and I was even at different outlets when the different flatiron blew. Look around before you waste $100. All they want to do for me is replace the cost with their... (read more)

I've had my Flatiron for about a year now, and it has so far done a good job at what it is supposed to accomplish, but today...it caught on fire in my bathroom. I plugged it in the wall...turned it on and set it on the counter and the entire inside compartment caught fire only a couple seconds after I set it down. The flames were at least six inches higher than the flatiron and went up the entire handle. I haven't resolved this issue yet with TIGI, I think the only thing they may do is... (read more)

I am very disappointed with the TIGI Hardcore Flatiron, I has a ceramic straightner before that didn't do as much damage as this one does. Although the ceramic one just decided to stop working after a while, I still got about 2-3 years out of it. The one good thing about it is that I contacted to company and no questions were asked, they sent me a new one in the mail, the only downer is that it said no the sheet for the delivery people that thing is only worth $60.00. My overall review for... (read more)

Written on: 15/01/2004 by misscrys224 (1 review written)
I love thTIGI Hardcore flatiron. The high heat setting allows me to flatiron my entire head of very very thick and coarse hair in about 10 mins. It also leaves my hair looking shiny and feeling silky. It is a little pricey but very much worth the money. My friend is a hairstylist and the one she uses for work still works just as well as mine does and she's had hers for over a year. (read more)
