Excellent quick service from Folica. It was very easy to order and received the item within a few days. I would recommend this company for any of your beauty supplies.

Reviewer: Marilyn Lake from Fort Lee, New Jersey  Mon Dec 11 2006

Hi all! My daughter is half black, so her hair is very curly.. (she hates it)I have bought the other brands in the pharmacy, but when i came across the Chi flat iron and purchased it, it was the best investment I could have made for my daughter's hair.. She love the results and I do also.. It has also saved us alot of time when doing her hair..We also tried the Slik infusion and it is excellent for softness.. We will always recommend it to friends who need it... Thanks again!

The flat iron is wonderful and is by far the best price. I researched this product a good bit and then shopped around for days and this website had it for the best price.

Reviewer: Ashley from Louisiana  Mon Nov 20 2006

I absolutely love my chi. I have had it for about 3 years now, and it still works great. I have naturally striaght hair but the days that I wake up and there are bends in my hair, or I go to sleep with my hair wet and in a bun, the chi straightens my hair in about 3 min. I live in Louisiana so the fact that my hair stays straight after using the chi in this humidity is amazing.

Product Rating: 5 Nice!
Reviewer: maggie from new orleans , LA  Sun Nov 19 2006

I have had this Straightener for about FOUR years. And it is just now starting to not work as well. It never really dried my hair out that much. And I am amazed that I am just now having to replace it.

Product Rating: 5 Best Flat Iron
Reviewer: Danine Leaver from Yellville, AR  Sat Nov 18 2006

I was so impressed and delighted to find a product that did what I needed for my hair. Those cheap flat irons only ruined my hair more, since I have been using the CHI flat iron my hair has looked and flet more healthy, I have more confidence in myself. The mat was also a great product, no more leaving my flat iron lying around collecting floating air particals. When I travel it also helps keep it all together. I am very pleased to spend the money I did to get such a great outcome. Thanks!

Reviewer: Dawn K. from Chicago, IL  Fri Nov 17 2006

A girlfriend of mine recommended I try her Turbo Chi. She said it was the best iron she's ever used. I was hesitant because I've never paid that kind of money for any kind of hair tool. So I tried it and she was right (thanks Tara!). I had salon perfect hair in minutes! I bought one the next day! I have, in my opinion, unmanageable hair. Some parts are wavy, some frizzy, some barely curly. I've always had to use some kind of anti frizz product and it always took forever to straighten. This iron takes half the time to straighten. Before, the slightest hint of humidy would start making my hair fuzzy immediately. Now, nothing. I can walk in light rain/drizzle and my hair stays straight! I never thought that could happen. I can even wear my hair in a pony tail after it's been straightened, and I don't have the "dent." My hair even feels lighter. It's truly amazing. I've had mine now for almost a month and I am 100% satisfied. The girl I work with just bought one too. This iron is worth every cent. One word of caution though, try not to get hooked on it like I did at first and use it twice a day (once in the morning and again after workouts), because it does get really really hot, and even though it's ceramic, it will start drying your hair out. Just make sure you do a deep conditioning every few weeks. Lastly, the price is right on this web site (I paid $120). My beautician could only get it for like $10.00 less, but it didn't come with the heat pouch which I love as well!

Product Rating: 3 Chi is good but blew up after one year
Reviewer: Sam from CA  Sat Nov 11 2006

I got a Chi a bit over a year ago. I have wavy/curly, coarse hair. The Chi worked well and I was overall happy with it. It does takes a while to flat iron my hair (1 hour or so) I didn't use the Chi often, maybe once or twice a month at most over the last year. Last month I went to turn it on and it's completely dead! Won't turn on, no light, no power at all. For the price the product should last longer so this was disappointing. I now use the Maxiglide because it is much faster to straighten my hair and will probably purchase a Solia flat iron for finishing touches. The Maxiglide works well but hair is not totally straight but the look is good so to change up the look I'd like another ceramic flat iron to create a totally straight, shiny look similar to the Chi. I will not buy a Chi again and hope that the Solia will last longer than my Chi did.

Product Rating: 3 Not as good as the regular Chi
Reviewer: Deneen Gomez from San Antonio  Fri Nov 10 2006

I bought the Turbo Chi after buying the original Chi because I wanted a flat iron with an adjustable temperature setting. The Turbo Chi doesn't glide through my hair as smoothly as the original Chi. It also seems that the sides of the Turbo chi aren't raised as high as the original Chi (the raised sides is what aids in creating the slightly curled look). I wish I had kept my original Chi. I would d just have to keep unplugging it to control the temperature from getting to hot. The turbo Chi also has a red velvet covering. I don't know what the covering is for and I don't like it.

Reviewer: Christy   Tue Nov 07 2006

I just bought a chi straightener and it works wonders on my hair. I had tried other straighteners and they were pulling out my hair. The Chi Turbo striaghtener does not pull out my hair and it keeps it from getting curly. My hair is VERY VERY curly, but when i use the Chi striaghtener and other chi products it is as straight as a pin. If you have somewhat thick blonde or whatever color hair use Chi, I highly recommend it.

Product Rating: 5 Very Satisfied
Reviewer: Liz from South Dakota  Tue Nov 07 2006

I was very happy with my purchase in this CHI straightener. My hair is very curly and it when I used this product it gives it a natural straight look without frying my hair at all.

Reviewer: Ken Tutor from Tampa, FL  Mon Nov 06 2006

Got the hair iron when promised at the great price. My duaghters love it. They have had 4 other brands and none work this good. The vendor was great.

Product Rating: 4 Best Iron I've owned!
Reviewer: Mrs. D from St. Louis, MO  Mon Nov 06 2006

This is a great iron. I'm a black woman so I need a good heated iron to get my hair straight. Initially, I purchased the original Chi. I deceided to upgrade because the turbo protects against burns with the felt outside and the black tip. However, I must mention that I think the original got hotter than the Turbo. But I'm happy I made the switch.

Reviewer: Marion Tapp from Lousiville, Kentucky  Mon Nov 06 2006

I love CHI Flat Iron. It make my hair smooth and soft. It doesn't ruin my hair like the other flat irons did. It's the flat iron used by many hair stylists, who have all recomended it.

Reviewer: stacey schroeder from iowa  Mon Nov 06 2006

I wasnt as impressed with the flat iron as much as I thought I would for what I paid for it..

Product Rating: 4 I am very satisfied with my CHI 1" turbo iron
Reviewer: Florence from Houston Texas  Mon Nov 06 2006

I had a CHI 1" turbo iron and my daughter took it with her to college - I ordered the sedu but I felt it was too strong for my fine hair - I returned it for the CHI and I am very happy with it.
Folica has excellent customer service and they made it very easy to exchange it. I will buy from Folica again.
