My friend and I were walking through Parramatta shopping centre where we saw a stand. The guy said he would straighten our hair for free so we went along with it. The hair turned out amazing as I have thick and bushy hair. He convinced us to buy the product and because it had a good result we brought it only to take it home and realise that it wasn't half as good as the guys one was. It cost us $180, the heat fluctuates, it damaged my hair extremely even when I used a good heat protectant spray and did treatments and didn't even hold the straightness, a $40 Remington hair straighter would do better work that this one. Not only did the guy lie to us and made it seem so amazing (which his straighten was but the one I received was horrible) there was no refunds unless it was broken/faulty. I now have a Halo hair straighten which was $209.99 and was honestly the most amazing hair straighter in the world, and considering my hair is extremely hard to straighten and keep it's hold it works wonders. Don't feel pressured and give into the sellers trying to sell their straighteners to you because as I learnt it does nothing but waste your money.

Excellent flat iron. I got it in North Carolina (2007-2008) at one of those booths where they push you to purchase it. I am referring to the Corioliss Professional Straightening iron not a chi product as far as I know. It is the best I have ever tried so far. I have never had any problems with mine. I am writing this review in 2014 so it is pretty old and it is still working well. I don't use it everyday, maybe ten times a year. I go through stages where I use it and where I don't so that is just an estimate. My favorite feature is the temperature choices you have. When I start using it, I set it to the highest and after a few minutes I lowered it. Never had any negative issues with it at all. My hair is thick, red, curly and lots of volume, so this product is ideal for me.

I bought the phi flat iron ,and I find the handle is weak and it pulls my hair,,it also seems to stick to my hair..I. Thought using a spray would help,with the sticking to my hair but it doesn't.I have very thick hair so I took extremely small sections thinking this might help but unfortunately it didn't.I either bought a lemon or this product is not useful for thick hair..I will be throwing mine in the garbage,,sadly

Me and my friend were just casually walking by one of the booths and were approached by one of the people and were asked very politely if we would like to get our hair done. So as typical girls we said sure! Worst idea we have ever had! The staff were so pushy, forcing us to buy their products and not letting us leave until we did, every excuse we had they found a way to push even harder for us to buy it! By the end we nearly ran away because we felt so intimidated. They started doing our hair and in between they would shove the products at out faces! Felt really horrible afterwards! :(

Plate broke off in half! Never been dropped only took it out while in use. I went to straighten my hair and as I pulled the straightener down my hair the top part of the straightener bent up breaking it in half ! Neve have I seen Or heard of this before and nope no help in getting a replacement just had to kiss my $250 + dollars goodbye - ouch :( I will never buy one of these from that kiosk again !

ive had these straightners 8months.they are now snapped they have been looked after and never dropped yet the spring came out and they snapped on the plastic.my first impressions was the plastic looked very flimsy but I decided to keep them as they did straighten my hair ok.wish I hadn't now and wish id payed the extra for ghds I can only presume the heat caused them to break.i hardly used them as I own wide plate ghds for my own long hair .I bought them as I needed a smaller plate for short haired clients.would not purchase again and would not recommend.wish id of read the reviews seemed 2 be a few that have cracked

I would never recommend this brand to anyone. The sales assistants were very rude. When I asked to speak to the manager in regards to a problem and refunding my lay-by she yelled at me and told me that I was embarrassed to show my face. She yelled at me several times, and when I told her to stop she said Im not yelling im telling you what I think and if you dont like it, its not my problem. After being yelled at for over 5 minutes, she told me that im not her customer and she doesnt have to deal with me and for me to leave. Great customer service yeh? The head office where u file complaints is dodgy you cant even get a call back. I WOULD NOT EVER GO TO THIS PLACE. They do not pride themselves on customer services.

I bought my corioliss at Chadstone shopping centre in Melbourne. Basically it cost over $200 and all it does is create these ugly shirley temple curls. The sales assistant promised it would do all sorts of styles - and yet all I can get are these tight curls that last about an hour before they drop into an even uglier crimp look. At the same time corioliss kept pushing this clip in hair feather for $15. I bought one only to find the Reject Shop were selling them for $4, half an hour later. Avoid!

I love my chi! It works so well, and I had it for about 5 years before it burned out and had to get another one! I know you are thinking only five years? but I used it everyday! Totally got my money's work, straitens every piece of hair, and keeps it srtait all day.

Complete waste of money. The sales people rip you off and when you speakto head office they ignore your telephone calls. They make it look so easy in the store but when you get it home it doesn't work.

I like this product. My sister bought this product for me since i told her that i needed a hair straightener, even IF my hair is straight. But it wasn't the straight to the point that I want it to be. Another reason was also because i had a new hair style that required me to have it styled a certain way. I had this hair straightener for 3 years, and it is still working perfectly. I love it. My hair has never been fried or damaged, or have a lot of split ends. If i MUST change my idea of hair straightener then I would probably try Royale, because someone had tired to sell me this product, and it worked like this product, but I think it was a bit better. Maybe it was just me not using my straightener right when curling and re-straightening it again. But i LOVE this product. Nothing has ever happened to it. It is still in perfect condition. =D
