Customer Reviews of Farouk CHI GF1539 Turbo Big 2 Inch Ceramic Flat Iron Hair Straightener
Customer Review: It works and it is worth the money.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been battling with my hair for years. It is VERY thick and wavy an never seems to cooperate. In previous years I had bought a Conair and a Revlon flat iron, which basically did nothing for me. It would look as if I hadn't even attempted to straighten it. So, I literally went for years wearing nothing but a pony tail. The initial shock of the cost of the Chi flat iron made me put off buying it for a year, but I realized that I was just wasting money buying these cheaper products and that I should invest in something that would actually work (believe me that was a big deal because I am literally the cheapest person I know). My hairdresser had used the iron on my hair before so I was positive it would work.
As soon as I decided to buy this product there was a nationwide backorder and no web site I could find had any in stock. This was the only place that had any or was receiving any in a reasonable amount of time. Overall I was extremely satisfied with the product and the supplier. It arrived in a orderly fashion and the very first time I used the iron I had salon perfect hair.
I recommend this product to ANYONE with rebellious hair. It works and it is worth the money. Don't waste you time on cheaper products. Life's short and you should be happy with the way you look
Customer Review: i find that my hair is less damaged and the chi is so easy to use.
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this straightener! It works wonders on my hair! I have really naturally curly hair and it usually takes about an hour to straighten my hair, now it only takes abot 20-30 minutes! i find that my hair is less damaged and the chi is so easy to use.. I am sooo happy. the supplier was also very prompt I recieved my order on the day that was expected and with no problems! thank you!Customer Review: I already went through 3 cheap irons...

People, don't even bother wasting your money on Conair, Vidal Sasson or any kind of cheap irons that you can get at Target or Walmart. CHI works like a charm. It heats up fast, and your hair stay straight a day long (unlike the cheap ones, my hair won't stay straight for a whole day) -- I live in San Francisco, theres tends to be alot of moist in my area, but my hair would still stay straight without having to straighten over and over...Also, the time it takes to straighten your hair with CHI is way faster than the cheap iron. I already went through 3 cheap irons, before I decided to get CHI (since it was pricey) But after I got the CHI, I am glad I made that decision. I totally recommend this product to anyone.Customer Review: The only upside was the great customer service by Amazon even though I had to pay to ship both irons back .
Summary: 1 Stars
The first iron I had melted my hair and burnt out on the first use...the replacement also burnt out the first time I used it. I do have bad luck but...this is rediculous. The only upside was the great customer service by Amazon (even though I had to pay to ship both irons back). Do not buy CHI products.Customer Review: This was a case of "you get what you pay for"!
Summary: 5 Stars
CHI manufactures this 2" size, and 1" and 0.7" widths in the same line also. My first inclination was to buy the 2" size - that would make the process faster, right? Well, I was advised and found out to be true that bigger is not better in this situation, for reasons stated below. So while I highly recommend the CHI Turbo straightener, I would recommend the smaller widths unless you know for a fact that you prefer the larger plates. The following section is my review for the 0.7" (which is mistakenly advertised as 0.07"), which I think is helpful even if you decide on the 2" model, so forgive my copy-and-paste.
I was suspect of the need for "ceramic ions" and "far infrared technology", but this iron was highly recommended by salon personnel, so I decided to dish out the money and try it. You don't need to believe the hype to realize that this is a top quality product. This was a case of "you get what you pay for"! It is lightweight and ergonomic, heats up almost immediately, has a slider bar for varying heat from 176-356F (80-180C), and velvety felt that protects you from burns (also allows me to get closer to my ears and scalp without getting burned). The latter feature is worth the money to me alone, and the the ceramic feels much gentler to my hair (I have baby fine hair very prone to breakage). Two other things to keep in mind when choosing a straightener:
1) size matters - smaller size is better - it's more maneuverable, and doing smaller sections at a time will produce better results.
2) not all ceramic is created equal - there are solid ceramic plates or plates COATED with ceramic that are cheaper. the ceramic layer on the coated plates can peel off and is supposedly damaging to your hair (not to mention your product is ruined).
So yes, this iron is more expensive, but hopefully it will last for years of top-notch straightening.
