Now, for the negative reviews of the straightener:
- I just wish it had some kind of a safety system, what if I forget to turn it off and it keeps heating up for 30 minutes?
- Mine arrived broken, so I’m waiting for a replacement.. Hope it arrives as fast as the first time!
- The plates can never touch each other completely, might work if you have a lion’s mane of a hair, but mine is all thin..
- It takes a whole minute to heat up, I’m tired of waiting for it every morning..
- The controls on this product are at a very unusual placement.
My Overall Quality Rating:
The very first thing that comes to mind at the very end of our shirt journey is- great quality at a very affordable price.
It does offer a lot of features of a professional hair straightener at a price of a home product.
I have never used this product at work, but some of my colleagues have and they are very satisfied, as well as the customers.
I myself am a firm believer in using expensive products in my own business, but this one couldn’t offer more for the price.
And as a professional, after reading all of the negative reviews I haven’t seen any deal-breakers or cause for alarm.
The one down side that did catch my eye is the absence of a safety switch, so make sure you keep it well away from anything flammable and double-check if the product is off before you leave for work.
My overall impression is– great quality at an affordable price.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone that doesn’t want to spend a small fortune, yet wants the look of somebody who did.
