Product Rating: 2 Not worth the $$
Reviewer: Charlotte from Edmonton, AB  Tue Aug 11 2009

Don't waste your money... or atleast have a backup after 14-16 months because that seems to be the average life-span for one

Product Rating: 5 LOVE MY CHI
Reviewer: Alyssa   Sun Aug 09 2009

I ordered a CHI flat iron off of here and i got it in 4 days...well anyway let me talk about the actual flat iron. It works amazing!!! I have extremely layered hair that would never flat iron. But my CHI works perfectly and it slides through my hair so easy. I get a pretty,silky && pin straight look every time!!! I am in love with this flat iron. lol, if you are thinking of getting this one off here, buy it and you won't regret it. In my opinion it is amazing :D

Reviewer: Charly   Tue Aug 04 2009

This was the first time ive gotten a good company flat iron, before i had a conair. and it sucked it allways pulled at my hair and it took forever to heat up, it was to heavy and clunky.
But then i got the chi for my birthday, and i loveeee it, it doesnt pull at my hair, and it really light and smooth feeling,
I naturally have curly hair that doent do well with the out doors, but now my hair acually stays straight when i go outside. i loveeeeee my new chi : D

I'd bought this Chi flat iron from the place where I get my hair done, however, I'd bought it for a little over $100. I say it was a waste of my money. It had worked very well for the first couple months, then the wire detached itself somehow. Maybe it was not handling it well, but i also noticed that the performance decreased more and more everytime i used it and i spent at least 2 hours straightening my shoulder-lenghth hair, after under 6 months. For all you daily flat iron users, i suggest not buying this product if you want flat, straight hair in less time. I do, however, suggest a Sedu flat iron, like the one suggested on the homepage. I am a thirteen year old, daily flat iron user, and i strongly suggest NOT to buy this flat iron. If you want quality that is worth your money, invest in a Sedu or Paul Mitchel!

Product Rating: 3 It works better than most irons, but still has glitches
Reviewer: Ellen from Florida  Sun Aug 02 2009

I've had my CHI since july of last year. It worked so well compared to the other irons I had before, but overtime I noticed my hair drying out. I would NOT recommend this to someone that lives in humid weather because your hair will stay nice for 10 minutes then frizz and become wavy/curly again. This is a good straightener for someone that doesn't straighten their hair alot and/or doesn't live in humid weather.

Product Rating: 5 amazing

Product Rating: 3 Good....for a bit
Reviewer: Brittney   Wed Jul 29 2009

When I first discovered the Chi I thought it was absolutely amazing and I've been using Chi flat irons for years. However, after experiencing at least 4 break down for various reasons (temp control broke and fried my hair, plates fell out, on/off switch broke off) and a couple which never worked as well as others to begin with I've decided to give up on this brand. I don't think the company uses very good quality control measures when making their products. I literally had one chi iron that was the most amazing, smoothest feeling flat iron I've ever used and then another one which was horrible, caught my hair and pulled with each stroke and they were the EXACT same model. Clearly there is an issue with quality control when you can get such drastic differences between individual products. I've decided to purchase a Sedu flat iron which I've heard are more durable and are of better quality.

Product Rating: 4 great straightener but doesn't last long!
Reviewer: Kinsey Lee   Tue Jul 28 2009

I've never owned a Chi myself but i have friends that do!
The straightener works GREAT! the only thing is that every Chi that ive know a friend having after about 6months aberage there is a electrical problem and you have to hold the cord just right for it to turn on! Which is a PAIN! and not long after that it stops workin all together!
One friend keeps buying them bc their so good with her hair but the other ones wont buy another one!
So it all depends on if you have the money or not and if its worth it! I personally wont own one but i head the Solia is good so i ordered that! =)

Product Rating: 5 best straightener EVER !
Reviewer: CHI LOVER ! from LOS ANGELES  Thu Jul 23 2009

Product Rating: 1 DON"T BUY IT!!!
Reviewer: lauren reddding from louisiana   Wed Jul 22 2009

i had my chi, and was never really fond of it, but used it anyways. it's only been a couple of months and it's already broken for no reason. it just will not turn on anymore. there are much better flat irons out there, so take my advice and don't buy a chi!!!

Product Rating: 4 Good, but broke down after a year
Reviewer: Cecilia   Sat Jul 18 2009

I have very curly, frizzy hair. This product worked great on me. It did not damage my hair and made my hair stay straight for days. However, I have had this product for about one year and already, it's not working. It only turns on when the plates are pressed together tightly, and so now I have to be careful when I want to use the flat iron so it won't turn off.

Product Rating: 5 Best flat iron ever <3
Reviewer: Tiffany from Nova Scotia  Fri Jul 17 2009

Before I got the CHI, I had a really bad straightener. My hair is naturally wavy & it would take forever to straighten my hair & it wouldn't even stay straight. The CHI straightened my hair super fast & it made it really straight. It also makes it pretty soft, too. I love it so much, it's the best flat iron I've ever used, by far. The only thing that I didn't really like about it, was that the exterior kind of got hot when it was on. But it's not that bad. I still loooove it. :)

Product Rating: 5 So Straight !!!!

I have a CHI and I loved it until it broke. This really worked well until it just magically broke one day.I had it for several years before it did. I'm pretty sure because of the swivel cord, the wiring is snapped, which does not make it easy for me to fix. I would not recommend because of the swivel cord.

Product Rating: 5 best flat iron ever!!!
Reviewer: Sam   Thu Jul 09 2009

i'm 15 and i've had this flat iron since Christmas. I've heard wonderful things about it, so I'd thought I would give it a go. The first time I tried out my Chi, I was amazed. My hair was silky and smooth. My chi was my 4th straightener, and the first 3 fried my hair. You will not regret buying the chi. It will change your life (I know, that sounds corny) I can go outside when it's raining and it will still be smooth and silky. I can also make really pretty curls with it. My hair is thick, but it still turns out great. Buy this flat iron if you haven't!

Product Rating: 5 AWESOME
