Great results.....shoddy product

I absolutely LOVE my Chi, but they have SOOO many issues. After about 6 months the ON/OFF button broke off and had to use a bobby pin to get it to come on. Then THAT stopped working after a few days. I ended up buying a Sedu, which doesn't compare to a CHI. However, the cord and buttons work beautifully.
The makers of the CHI need to upgrade their standards for the price consumers are paying for a shoddy product.
LOVE IT

I borrowed a Chi from a friend years ago and loved it and since have loved it and refuse to use anything less than a Chi. Their dryers are great as well!
Chi is the very best!

I've never used any other hair straightener, however; I've never had to. I've had the same one since 2004 and it still works. I've bought 4 others for friends and family. They LOVE it too.
African American Short Hair with No Perm!

These flat irons are absolutely wonderful!!! I have perm on the tappered parts of my hair but not on the top where the hair is the longest. In between my salon visits (every other week) these flat irons with Chi silk works wonders, I am very pleased!!! I will be able to keep my hair short and get it colored without the breakage.
Great product!!!!

I have really naturally curly hair and am part black. I thought that the CHI worked okay. I beleive I have seen better, however it did work. Although two weeks after buying it, it stopped working completely! I asked someone that worked at folica and they stated that this is the norm with the CHI iron... Just FYI
Better than Solia!

I replaced my Chi when it broke after 18 mths - decided to try Solia because it had a two year warranty and a lot of great reviews. Umm... NOT A CHI! The Chi gets my hair stick straight - not even humidity can ruin it. I look like Chaka Khan after just ten minutes outside with the Solia. Confusing cuz the Solia supposedly gets hotter? Anyways - stick with 'ole faithful! I returned the Solia for another Chi AND am sending the broken one back to get fixed for only $35. I will never be stuck without a back-up straightener again!
LOVE THE CHI

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LUV my CHI!! It is the best flat iron ever!! i tworks so much better than the solvia or any other flat iron. my hair is thick and curly and it straightens my hair in like 30 minutes!! and u can contro the heat on my chi nano. u can get a stand to hold it while you are straigthing your hair. you can also get a pouch to hold it while its still hot if you are travling or at school or in a rush. I LOVE MY CHI! ive had it for 2 years and it still works good. DONT BUY A SOLVIA!!! BUY A CHI!!

I love the chi but my on/off switch also broke. It lasted three years but it's so dang annoying that it broke. It was in perfect condition.
WAY BETTER THAN SOLIA

I have curly, frizzy, thick hair. I had 2 Chi Flat Irons but broke them both. I decided to try the Solia Flat Iron after reading the reviews and seeing that it was hotter than the chi and had bigger irons. After using it once, I knew it was not even close to being as good as the Chi. It took longer, didn't feel as hot, and I didn't like the bigger irons. I recently bought another Chi and love it. It straightens so much quicker and is straight all day long. Don't waste your money on the Solia. Chi is the best straighter ever..and I have tried a lot of straighteners.
HATE ITTT

I had a cheap $20 wet to dry straightener, and it made my hair even poofier and frizzy.My friend loves to do peoples hair and talked me into letting her straighten my hair with her CHI. I was blown away! i hated straighteners because i thought they were all bad like mine. I have straight hair that is so poofy and has a little crimp in it.( its weird).Anyways it made my hair soo soft and straight and it didnt smell like it was burnt.It only took 30 minutes and i have medium length extremely thickhair. I couldn't stop touching my hair. I wore my hair to school and everyone gave me so many compliments even guys said they liked my hair! This is definately one of the best straighteners in the world, if you have a cheep $20 straightener than you need to buy the CHI. Some people say oh i had it for 6 months and it broke. that is because they porbably wrapped the cord around the straightener or dropped it. My friend has had hers for 2 years and it still going great.
in love!!!!

i just got my new chi. it is by far the best straightner i have ever used. i use it everyday. i have very curly thick and frizzy hair and the chi tames the wildness. it has left my hair feeling soft and shiny. totally worth the money!!

The chi flat iron is clearly overated. The on/off button broke after a year so the flat iron wouldn't work anymore. Plus, while it worked, i tried many of my friend's flat iron that would work 10 times better than my Chi.
What a waste of money!

I read reviews and did my research and I finaly decided that a chi was what I needed for my long, coarse, curly, frizzy hair.I ordered a chi hair straightener and couldnt wait to get it in the mail when it did finaly got here and i used it I couldnt have been more dissappointed! It straightened my hair but my hair looked horrible it was frizzy and burnt looking and to top off my horrible experience 2 hours later my hair started to curl and frizz! I would NOT recommend this product to anyone!!! It was a huge waste of money and I couldnt be more dissapointed!!!
Not very good

Not good. Two have burnt out. One in less than a year and the other in two years (which i guess isn't too bad but for the price it should last longer). Starts smoking and smells bad and the on/off button stops working.
the chi is alright.

ive just gotten mine. it straightens my hair decently, but i dont see what the fuss is all about. there are many hair straighteners that are just as good or better. the one thing that bugs me about the chi is that while straightening my hair, it also makes it static-y

I have had my chi for a couple years now and have had no problems with it yet! keep in mind its all about how you care for your products. My hairdresser when I purchased it from her said that the only thing I should not do is wrap my cord around it because it will losen the wires and prevent it from working... SO.. DO NOT WRAP YOUR CORD and the product will last... im going on year 3 :)
BTW.. I have curly hair and lots of it and it cut my time in half
LONGEST LASTING!

I got my chi when I was in 9th grade....I am now a Sophomore in college! It worked amazingly up until I went to England and decided to try a cheapy converter and it blew :( I loved that iron! It made my hair look and feel shiny, soft, and I could do so many different things with it. The curls I could get were gorgeous! No matter what style you want to get, the chi is the way to go!
It was good until it just wouldn't turn on

i have been useing the chi for about 3 years now and i have had to replace 2 or 3 times because it just stopped working one day it does the job but isn't long lasting it doesn't have a heat dialer on it so you can't determine the heat. i just bought a andis flat iron 2day but haven't used it yet but i'm thinking about taking it back and getting a solia since i have been hearing such good reviews. it gets hair straight but i just wouldn't say it's the best flat iron you can use
ehhh

ok so i got this in october and by early april it was broken & wouldnt turn on unless i holded down the actual hot part of the flat iron. it worked really good while i had it, except my hair would go super staticy a lot.
it def wasnt worth the 150 bucks i paid for it
