Write a review about the BaByliss Pro Professional Porcelain Ceramic Curling Iron



Product Rating: 2 faulty?
Reviewer: Jordan from Salt Lake City, UT  Thu Aug 13 2009

I bought this curling iron to replace the BaByliss one I had before and really liked (the cord wore out b/c I was wrapping it around the iron to store it, probably my fault).
I have been really frustrated with my purchase because the iron has a strange power problem or something--it has a red light when it's off and a green light when it's on and hot, but mine constantly starts flashing both at the same time and the iron goes cold. I've tested it in different plugs in my house and in hotel rooms, and it does it in all of them, making it very difficult to use. I won't purchase another BaByliss product now because I'm worried I'll get another one like this. However, when it actually works, it is a great curling iron.

Product Rating: 3 Heats quickly...not durable
Reviewer: Katie   Fri Jun 12 2009

I liked this curling iron--heated quickly, very hot, didn't stick to my hair. My hair holds curl well anyway, but this was perfect for days when I wanted to straighten my hair--I'd blow my hair out with a round brush, then use this to smooth and curve ends under. After 2 years, it broke--the heating element must have fried or something. I paid quite a bit for mine (from a salon), and expected a lot more life out of it. It's ironic that one of my old drugstore curling irons from 10-15 years ago still works great! Guess you don't always get what you pay for.

Reviewer: Dominique from Canada  Tue Mar 24 2009

I was really impressed when i first got this it was cheap and better than my old curling iron! it curls really good and fast .. it does damage my hair after a while

Product Rating: 2 Clip very weak.
Reviewer: Benny from Toronto, Canada  Tue Jan 13 2009

Was very disappointed with this iron. The clip is very weak and does not provide a secure grip when curling hair. Thought it was just the iron I received but other reviews confirm same problem. Sending it back right away.

Product Rating: 5 great curling iron
Reviewer: anonymous   Thu Dec 25 2008

I highly recommend this curling iron. It gets hot quickly. It grips the hair very well, so I don't have to go back and redo the parts that fell out. It never rips out my hair as some other irons do. Overall I am extremely pleased!

Product Rating: 4 Worked great, then broke.
Reviewer: Michelle from Omaha, NE  Wed Dec 03 2008

I bought this curling iron (3/4" barrel) about two months ago. I loved it - it curled my hair wonderfully, even at the top, and without products, my wavy hair stayed curled for 2 days without needing touch-ups.
Then I travelled with it, plugged it in at the guest bathroom, got one curl in and heard a pop. It cooled down and hasn't worked since. I'm giving this brand another shot because I LOVED how it curled my hair, and hoping I just got a fluke iron. Will update with a review when I get it!

Product Rating: 4 Great tool
Reviewer: Kaisha from Baltimore, Maryland  Sun Nov 02 2008

I'm a cosmetology student in Baltimore, MD and this curling tool came in our kit and it works wonders for your hair if you know how to use it, as well as the products you use with it. If you already take you care of your hair and want a good curling iron to go with, this is the one for you. Not intended for everyday useage.

Product Rating: 2 Not that great...
Reviewer: Jeanne in Naples   Wed Aug 06 2008

Based on the reviews, I ordered this "cheap substitute" of a CHI. Do not be deceived. I don't believe for a minute it gets hotter than a CHI and it certainly doesn't have the spring grip of a CHI (the spring is weak, requiring less hair per roll = more time). I'm going to return and hope they still have one of the discontinued CHI's laying around!

Product Rating: 1 A very disappointing curling iron.
Reviewer: Terese from Avalon, CA  Sun Jul 27 2008

My decision to purchase this curling iron was based the great reviews. So needless to say I was pretty shocked when I finally received my curling iron and used it.

I was so looking forward to receiving a nice and reliable curling iron that would fit all of my basic needs.(get hot, be easy to use, and make my hair pretty)

I was so disappointed. Here is a specific list of why makes this curling iron a challenge to use and an inferior curling iron overall.
The top clamp doesn't hold down the hair tightly in place very well. It is pretty loose so my hair easily slipped out.

The iron gets very hot which would be a great attributes if the "safety end" was even remotely cool enough to touch so you can maneuver the iron though the process of curling your hair.
The thumb rest is too large to quickly take your finder on and off so by the time you get a hold of the thing your hair is toast. (I don't have small hands so this is really odd)

My hair was getting more and more static cling as I was doing my hair in sections, it wasn't my $200 Mason Pearson brush creating the cling. This has not happened before.

The result, I spent more time trying to create a nice hair style with disappointing results.
I am not going to reveal my favorite curling iron because I don't want anyone to write off my review as a promotion for a different brand. I just want to prevent someone from making the same mistake as I did.

Product Rating: 2 starts to get hot in 10 minutes... little too long for my preference
Reviewer: clarissa   Thu Jul 10 2008

I am not sure if 10 minutes to warm up is considered fast but i personally found that to be way too long. The curling was fine but didnt last very long - possibly I didnt wait long enough for the thing to get suficiently hot. I decided to return it and stick to my solia flat iron that straightens and lightly curls with a 5 seconds warm up time.

Product Rating: 5 it really works!
Reviewer: zoha   Thu Jul 03 2008

this curler is two in one!
it straightens and curls!
i love it!

Product Rating: 4 Very Satisfied
Reviewer: Nikki from NJ  Tue Jun 10 2008

I purchased the 1 1/2" & I LOVE it. I have thin, manageable hair & this product styles it quickly, nicely & does not burn my hair. I'm sure it depends on what setting is used & I use 16 or 18. I was looking for a product that heats quick & styles even quicker, this is it. My curls hold for most of the day even without styling products, such as gel or hairspray. I only use hairspray to curl my hair when I'm going out dancing & I dance all night all types of music & when I'm dancing Salsa with all the turn patterns & my hair flying everywhere, my curls hang in there. Hot hOt hoT

Product Rating: 5 Fabulous!
Reviewer: Amy from North Carolina  Thu Apr 17 2008

Curls last until you wash your hair. Really does heat up instantly. Best curling iron I've ever owned!

Product Rating: 5 My BaByliss Porcelain Ceramic Curling Iron
Reviewer: Sarah from Houston, Texas  Thu Feb 28 2008

I absolutely love this lightweight ceramic curling iron! It curls fabulously and I even have to say that it curls better than the ceramic Chi curling iron which I've used for years -- and it's half the price -- plus it's even lighter in weight. Great deal, great price, great product! I would definitely recommend this to anyone!

Product Rating: 5 Great Product
Reviewer: Anonymous from Florida  Wed Aug 29 2007

This is a great product.
The construction is solid and durable.
The time for this product to warm up is very quick...it is ready to use within a minute of plugging in...a great time saver!
