I'm highly satisfied with my TIGI Hardcore Flat Iron. It has done it's job right. I've had my very first since I was in 8th grade, I am now 24 years old. Recently it has started to short out, and I'm on the hunt for a new one, but I'm very happy with the years that it lasted.

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!

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

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.

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!

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 to manuver on short hair.

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!

I really like my TIGI Hardcore straightner, until it stopped working and made weird noises when i plugged it ine. its less than a year old, and I dont have my receipt for the warranty. So now what do I do with it? Piece of crap!

I have sent my TIGI Hardcore Flat Iron back to the company 4 times. If Im going to pay $120 for my staightener, I should never have to send it back!

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 as well.
My hair goes through a LOT, I dye it all sorts of colors and bleach it willy nilly, and this iron has always been good to me and never added unnecessary damage.
Other great things is it has an extra long cord adn has dual voltage for when you travel to other countries. You just need a plug-in adapter and you're good to go and can enjoy your same flat iron in all countries. Not too many other flat irons can faithfully troop around the world with you like that.

I Love the TIGI flat-iron. Some people say its horrible but it is soooooo tottaly not. I have had this flat-iron for about a year so far it hasnt stoped heating up, and straigtens within seconds. It leaves my hair silky and shiny. Its worth alot of money because its a great product. Its absolutly, positivley worth the money.

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.

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.

Lasted more then 4 years. Straightened my naturally curly hair by only going over it once. Loved it and wish I could get another!
