Product Rating: 5 Very Pleased
Reviewer: anonymous   Tue Feb 26 2008

I am very happy with my flat iron. It heats up fast and works perfectly on the first pass through my hair. I have straight hair, I use the iron only to make it smooth and "finish off" the ends. I have not tried to "curl" with it. I am also pleased with the price I found here at folica. My hair dresser said she has never heard of it priced so low.

Product Rating: 5 Super Flat Iron, Incredible Price
Reviewer: Steph from verona, wi  Tue Feb 26 2008

This is a really HOT flat iron! It works wonders. The retail price of this iron is often OVER $200. I love it!

Product Rating: 2 DO NOT BUY - WASTE OF MONEY
Reviewer: Alexis from Los Angeles  Mon Feb 25 2008

I've had mine for less than a year and it has just shorted out. It worked well while it lasted, but don't pay upwards of $60 for something that won't even last longer than a year. I didn't even use it often!

Product Rating: 5 LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!
Reviewer: Ally   Mon Feb 25 2008

totally the best flat iron ever! Smooths my hair and definatley doesn't damage it as much as other flat irons do. It doesn't pull or fry my hair at all!

Product Rating: 4 i love my chi!
Reviewer: Anna   Sat Feb 23 2008

i used to have a cheap straightner from target, and my hair became extremely fried and dry. i have long dark hair, and it is naturally very shiny and soft but the inexpensive flat iron made it dull and frizzy. the chi SAVED my hair. i bought a serum to put in before straightening, and my hair slowly got increasingly better. it makes my hair so soft and shiny, and it didn't break my ends at all. I LOVE MY CHI. i couldn't live without it.

Product Rating: 4 chi straightener works well when it is working.
Reviewer: gina   Fri Feb 22 2008

i love the chi straightener, but i have had problems with it shutting off or not working after a certain amount of time. most recently, i had a straightener sent to me from folica that would not even turn on straight out of the box. for the amount of money you pay, the straightener should work for much longer than it does. it does work very well when it is working though.

Product Rating: 5 chi!
Reviewer: sek from maine  Thu Feb 21 2008

i was given a chi as a gift a few years ago and it has been great; my mom was always trying to steal it from me so i decided to finally buy her her own! my hair always comes out very straight, soft, and smoot--but it can also make great bouncy-curls! i would recommend this flat iron to everyone: from people with almost straight hair (who just need to iron out the cowlicks) to those with coarse and curly textures. however, i would like to mention that it is extremely hot, so i try not to over use it in order to spare my hair the damage.

Product Rating: 3 It's not much different really.....
Reviewer: Crystal from Illinois  Thu Feb 21 2008

I have been using an iron from Wal-Mart since I learned to style my hair so I was very excited to purchase this Chi. The first time I used it I didn't like it so much and I figured I just needed to get used to it but every time I've used it since I don't much care for it. It makes my hair have a lot of static and it doesn't straighten as well as my $20 one I bought. My hair still has a little curl. Maybe it's me, I don't know. I'll go back to my Wal-Mart one...

Product Rating: 4 I love it.........
Reviewer: jessie :)   Thu Feb 21 2008

My new Chi heats up so much quicker than my $20 Revlon flat iron and is a lot hotter so I'm able to achieve great results much faster than the old one. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is b/c my first Chi worked once than stopped, so I had to return it. But Folica.com sent me a new one in two weeks and I haven't had any issues with the new one what so ever.

Reviewer: Magdalena   Thu Feb 21 2008

Hey just got my chi from folica and I absolutely love it!!! It works so quickly and heats up really fast...since im always in a hurry its perfect

Product Rating: 5 Awesome straight or spiral curl
Reviewer: Lisa   Wed Feb 20 2008

I love this flat iron...not only does it get your hair silky straight but with a spiral motion you get the coolest spiral type curl!!! I kind of did it by accident but love the look of it...it can also just bend your hair for more "poof" near the crown of your head...really awesome product...heats up fast and very lightweight.

Product Rating: 3 Eh, not so great
Reviewer: Dara Smithe from Livingston, New Jersey  Tue Feb 19 2008

This flat iron is pretty good, but it doesn't make my hair soft and the next day my hair is dull and crispy and stiff. It does smooth my hair after blow drying, though. What I do like is that it can add a flip or bounce to the end of my hair. All in all, it's not what i expected.

Product Rating: 4 best iron I've ever owned
Reviewer: Valerie from Pittsburgh, PA  Tue Feb 19 2008

I'm one to skimp and buy things cheaper and boy does it show. After asking my hairdresser why her iron makes my hair look so silky smooth, she informed me it was the type of iron. When I found out the name, I quickly looked it up on line and ordered one. It's worth the money. If you want smooth and shiny hair, buy the Chi.

Product Rating: 1 Chi's have changed
Reviewer: Whitney from Chicago, IL  Tue Feb 19 2008

I was a proud owner of a Chi for four years until my original broke. I would recommend the Chi to anyone I knew throughout those 4 years. Times have changed, and so has the Chi. About one month ago my original 4 year old Chi broke! I was so devastated, I couldn't believe I'd have to buy a new one and retire my one and only. When I finally bought a new one I noticed right away how much lighter and cheaper it felt. It didn't straighten my hair as well as the older one did either. I honestly used this Chi two times before it broke. It just wouldn't heat up anymore. So I decided to read some reviews about the Chi and noticed a few people mention another straightener, Sedu. I researched enough to convince myself to buy this product and I absolutely love it! I hope anyone who is really looking for a wonderful straightener doesn't stop when their hear about the Chi, keep looking! Seriously, you'll be so much happier with the Sedu's results.

Product Rating: 5 I love it!
Reviewer: Michelle Chaudry from Birmingham, Alabama  Sun Feb 17 2008

I purchased the Chi flat iron from Folica at a great price. My cousin is an hairdresser and told me about the flat iron but she told me to expect to pay higher price. Anyway, I bought the iron and I absolutely love it.
It works wonder on "bad hair days".
Great product! Michelle

Reviewer: Melissa from california  Sun Feb 17 2008

I hated this flat iron I bought it on Amazon and it fried my hair and all I did was straighten a couple of pieces and it fried it there was no temperature setting and based on all these reviews I heard it breaks easily but long story short don't buy this flat iron it's not worth the money not unless you get it for free then you have nothing to lose
