“I wouldn't be complete without them!”
Written on: 16/04/2013 by 3CSmith
I bought my first pair of GHDs back in 2008, they were my first pair of straighteners that actually belonged to me. I chose GHDs as my sister had them and they were amazing. I bought mine from Amazon.co.uk, an offical retailer of GHD and they are completely authentic. I have now had my GHDs for 5 years, I've straightened my hair nearly every day for the entire 5 years and they still work as well as the day I bought them. They make my hair extremely straight, they also bring out the shine. I... (read more)

I'm onto my 6th pair now - 1st pair - stopped working within 1 year 2nd pair (wide plate straighteners) - stopped working within 18 months 3rd Pair - bought to replace the 2nd pair - stopped working within 6 months. I finally got smart and contacted the company to enquire about warranties. They told me to send them back to them for inspection. 4th pair - Within a week (after sending 3rd pair to ghd), they sent me a new pair (Oct 2012). Within one week, the new pair went dead completely.... (read more)

i would totally recommend it to people who have thick long hair because it takes litterally a minute to heat up and only have to use it for a few minutes and it will be straight, good for morning when you go the school/work because you can get up more late knowing your ghd will maake you hair a good hair day! with ghd you will have good hair days everyday by the way i have a ghd IV salon styler which is great and make my hair dead straight and when its windy it doesnt mess your hair up. if...

“not worth the price!!”

I bought a GHD flat iron on sale for $180 and it came in a fancy package that made me really happy , but when I used the flat iron it did not left my hair as smooth and shinny as I expect for the price I payed I had high expectations . I had a Corioliss pro for five years and I swear it worked better than the ghd and left my hair smooth and shinny . Ghd costs much more than Corioliss but did nit work better. (read more)
“Never buy GHD flat irons!”
Written on: 06/11/2012
I purchased two flat irons ranging in prices from $185-$230+ and both stopped working soon after the manufacturer warranty expired! I called customer service each time explaining how they stopped working and I no longer have my receipts, so would provide them with the date codes, which mean absolutely nothing to them, and was told they cannot replace the defective stylers at all. Gee what a coincidence they stopped working after the warranties expired! Honestly, other flat irons work much... (read more)

I've worked with GHD flat irons at my salon before but now they're not lasting for very long! After purchasing this one and failing terribly, I've given up on GHD for good and switching over to Karmin. The Karmin G3 has really proved it's worth and it's given me the professional quality that GHD hasn't! (read more)

Written on: 14/06/2012
I had my first GHD straighteners for over 4 years and they were wonderful. When they eventually stopped working, I automatically went out and bought a new set. What a disaster. The new model is nothing like the original version. They do not straighten the hair as easily, they snag your hair and are certainly not as hot as the old ones. Overall not worth the money. How sad (read more)

Written on: 02/06/2012
I have used GHDS for about 8 years and had no problems with the original styler, they were perfect and did everything that i required them to do. However when the limited edition ones came out i was bought a pair for Christmas and since then i have had nothing but problems in the last 2 years i have had to keep sending them back and them sending me a new pair each a different edition. Every time they break its a wiring and heating up fault. I appreciate that they do replace them for me but... (read more)
“Melted GHDs”

I bought a pair of limited edition white GHDs about 3 years ago while living in the UK. I use them max once a month. I went to use them the other day, turned them on and noticed a funny smell. Turns out the element on them has melted. For the price you pay for these, I'm really disappointed!! I have logged a complaint on the GHD site about 2 weeks ago and got a response saying someone would be in touch - still waiting...... (read more)
“Really excellent quality, reliable and long lasting.”
Written on: 31/05/2012 by Tinastamp (2 reviews written)
I've had my GHD for about two years now, and apart from a short delay in it heating up, it's perfect. Never had any problems with it, and It's so handy for transporting around. I'm a little paranoid about leaving it switched on, but my friend just told me there's a special setting on it which means it turns itself off... I never knew! Love them. (read more)
“GHD are now awful - BUY CLOUD 9 INSTEAD :)”
Written on: 08/05/2012 by pokerstraight (2 reviews written)
I’ve had GHD's for over 10 years (4 pairs all together) and previously loved them, but my last pair just weren't the same as my originals but when these recently broke I decided to give GHD's a final go thinking their technology would be much better. So recently bought my 4th pair and they were awful. They are now very cheaply made compared to previous models and they just do not straighten your hair well. They really snag and you have to go over and over each piece of hair to get it half... (read more)
“GHDs - A BRAND TRADING ON REPUTATION FOR SHORT TERM...”
Written on: 28/04/2012 by shepherdsdelight (3 reviews written)
My first pair of GHDs lasted 7 years but my Mk4 replacement is now currently away for repair although only purchased at the end of August 2009. They have been playing up for about 4 months so that is 2 and a quarter years. They cost £90 so not very good at all. I will not be buying another pair because when I took them to the repairers (have you noticed how many repair places are advertised now? That in itself is an indicator) the lady in the shop said that my model was the worst yet... (read more)
“BUYER BEWARE; AWFUL”
Written on: 22/04/2012 by sassybstar
I have had two sets of GHD straighteners over a period of eight years and my husband bought me some new ones for Christmas. By the first week of March, the irons no longer heated. I took them back and the hair salon (not my hair salon, one my husband came across) exchanged them, advising that GHD straighteners were more commonly being returned. For some reason, they just weren't the same as they used to be. I took the new set home. They lasted until the first week of April. They were... (read more)

hear hear! my husband bought me a new set of GHD scarlets for xmas 2011, they caused me so much pain with snagging i dreaded using them every day, every morning i left the house with an awful headache after using them, i was very dissapointed that in feb this year i returned them back to GHD and within a few days i received a brand new replacement set, now (april) i am once again experiencing the same problem and have been for a few weeks.... this morning i had to give in and ive had to dig out my old gold classic GHD's and the difference in there performance is extremely noticeable plus no snagging and no pain or headaches what so ever! i have once again contacted GHD direct, im not after a straight swap (scarlets for scarlets) im wanting them to exchange my scarlets for the older gold classic pair (no dought at my own cost because the scarlets are far more expensive) but im willing to see if a newer set of gold classics perform as good as my old set, failing this i will be taking it further, its upset my husband because he believed he was paying out all that money because he was buying me the best!

“ghd Gold Classic styler”
Written on: 12/04/2012
These were bought to replace my old classic GHD's and what a mistake I have made. I have always had two pairs of GHD's, the classic and the large plates and still have the large plates thank goodness as the new type are an inferior product. GHD's have always been the best and in the past I have been of the opinion you get what you pay for but will now be looking at cloud nine as a replacement. The new GHD's are not as hot, I have to go over the hair more than once now and the style doesn't... (read more)

Having owned a pair of GHD's before and being really impressed with them, i decided to get another pair. I wish i'd kept my money! As others have said, the old ones used to glide through your hair, these don't. Also, they don't heat up nearly as well. Have went back to using my remingtons! Will be sending a letter of complaint!

I had ghd hair straighteners, my first set; they lasted 5 years. I had thought ghd was the best product around and would have recommended ghd without reservation. However since i owned my first ghds they seem to have adopted the 'lets not build things to last so that people buy a new one' At first i was thrilled with my new IV straighteners, but after a few months they made a constant bleeping. Later this was accompanied by a crackling noise from the wire. And now, well they dont even heat... (read more)

I bought a second set of GHD straighteners after my beloved and faithful straighteners packed in after about 8 years... yes 8 years of daily usage! It was because of their long life that I decided to buy another set. However my new set was very different. It did not glide through my hair as smoothly and would catch my hair. After about a year it kept switching itself off and on which made it beep constantly. This was very annoying. Then eventually they gave up. I am disappointed as they are... (read more)

Really disappointed by GHD!
Everybody says they're perfect but it's not true!
I don't think it worth the price. The quality is not so great and they don't offer anything with the straightener, like a bag for example.
It's too expensive and I found a better company of hair straightner, which quality is much better and price a bit lower.

Totally agree. I bought the red ones a few months ago, after years of a love for GHD - what happened? They don't straighten and they don't curl.
