Product Rating: 5 Chi Ceramic Flat Iron
Reviewer: Heather from Missouri  Mon Feb 04 2008

My first Chi was a hand me down from my sister because the cord was broken. My dad ordered a new cord and fixed it and the Chi worked like a dream for about 5 more years until the ceramic plate came loose and started pulling my hair. I bought a new Chi in December 2007 and it too works like a dream so far, heats up hot and straightens my sometimes frizzy naturally wavy hair great! The service from Folica.com was super, and I received my Chi within only a couple of business days! I will definitely shop here again!

Product Rating: 5 Great Purchase
Reviewer: Michelle from KY  Mon Feb 04 2008

I received the 1" Chi Flat iron as a Christmas present from my husband and I love it. It is the best flat iron I have ever used and believe me I have wasted my money on several others. I recommend buying it over any other brand. It saves you so much time.

Product Rating: 4 Chi for a great price
Reviewer: Chris D. from Phila.,PA  Mon Feb 04 2008

I bought this product for my daughter. It was a XMas present & she loves it. he has very kinky hair & the Chi is the only Flat Iron that she has success with. The price here can't be beat. Also speedy standard shipping during the high holiday season. Will definitely shop here again. Thanks!

Product Rating: 5 Great product
Reviewer: anonymous from TN  Sun Feb 03 2008

I really love this straightener. I have used other brands of straighteners but nothing as wonderful as the Chi

Product Rating: 4 Really like it but now WOWed
Reviewer: Nance from Los Angeles  Sun Feb 03 2008

After hearing so many good things about Chi and only ever owning cheap stuff, I went out on a limb and bought this one. It is sooo much better than your average Target-type straightener. It gets very hot, straightens very well, and as described many many customers, it can also curl your hair which is amazing. My only thing is that I was expecting my hair to look very sleek and smooth. Although, that may have to do more with the hair products I use rather than the Chi straightener. Anyway, it's a good deal and no regrets!

Product Rating: 4 Works great!
Reviewer: Cynthia from New Orleans  Sun Feb 03 2008

I bought this for my daughter although I had reservations whether it would be substantially better than the cheaper models of flat irons. She loves it and it does make quite a difference in the softness and sheen of her hair. I am trying to have her be careful in how she handles the cord as so many other reviewers complained about the cord getting damaged. So far, so good.

This is the less expensive model of the Chi's but my hair stylist told me the other "bells and whistles" are not important. Having seen how this works, I tend to agree.

Product Rating: 2 Pretty good I guess...
Reviewer: Anabella Mollers from Not a happy camper village :)  Sun Feb 03 2008

My bff has this straightener.
It is supposed to curl your hair too.
But..
IT DOESN'T WORK!
When we try to curl it by wrapping it around,
It just goes wavy.
And we have to straighten it after.
Her hair is normally pretty straight,
But not that straight.
I wouldn't recommend this product.

Product Rating: 5 Chi Hair Straightner fast shipping!
Reviewer: Jenna   Sat Feb 02 2008

The hair straightner came only a few days after I ordered it. The case was very nice and the straightner works great! I am very happy with my purchase from folica!

Reviewer: teresa from San Angelo, TX  Sat Feb 02 2008

I bought this as a gift to my sister-in-law. It has doubled her business and given her an increased profit of 50%.

Product Rating: 4 Best straightner
Reviewer: Elizabeth Smith from Huntsville, AL  Sat Feb 02 2008

This is the best straightner we've tried. It doesn't damage the hair, even with frequent use. The heated end of the handle does get hot on the outside, but not dangerous. I would recommend this procduct and the quick delivery service of Folica to my friends.

Product Rating: 4 Good Flat Iron, lightweight, easy to use
Reviewer: Amy from Knoxville, TN  Sat Feb 02 2008

I liked the ease of use of this iron as well as the portability. It is a very small lightweight iron that pecks a lot power. I would reccommend this for anyone that wants a good flat iron for a reasonable price. Although I would not reccommend it for anyone with extremely curly hair or dried and damaged hair, it is fairly adaptable to all other hair types. It heats quickly. I would buy it again.

Product Rating: 5 Great Iron
Reviewer: Heather   Sat Feb 02 2008

Well worth the money- great flat iron that keeps hair straight even overnight.

Product Rating: 5 Great Performance For the Original CHI Flat Iron
Reviewer: Brenda   Sat Feb 02 2008

My daughter has very curly hair and likes to straighten it sometimes, it never really looked good when she would straighten it but now with the CHI flat iron it looks really great!! Her hair looks silky smooth and when she wear it curly she still uses the CHI to smooth out some of the fly away culs so now her curls look nice with out all those little frizzies sticking out.

Product Rating: 1 Not good product
Reviewer: Phyllis from ohio  Sat Feb 02 2008

I bought this for a christmas present and not even 30 days after the purchase the cord has given out and no longer works. Awful product for the price!

Product Rating: 3 i guess you could say " rip "on" and "rip off " = advice
Reviewer: O from Manitoba  Fri Feb 01 2008

I have went on many websites including Folica & Ebay , and have gone to many stores including Trade Secrets and The Cut Above. Every store I have gone to says, "If you get the CHI, you will have silky, smooth, straight hair." But that's if you get a good one. I was told that there are sometimes "badly made" CHIs......I don't know , a bug or something strange in them. Which can make them only last for 2 - 4 months. You would never know which one in the store is "good" or "bad" . You could be spending $200.00 on a bad CHI. Personally, I would go with the "Babyliss" or the "Metropolis" . They are 2 very good flat irons. I own both of them . So if I were you, I wouldn't even buy the CHI. I would buy the ones I had stated earlier. The ones I have go from $100.00 - $200.00 . I hope that helped.

Yes people it is the REAL CHI! It works better than any other straightener I have used and it is at HALF the cost here on Folica!
