Product Rating: 5 Love it
Reviewer: Rebecca   Mon Mar 10 2008

I have tried so many cheaper products but nothing straightens my hair and leaves it looking so natural as the chi. I have bought one for my daugher as well and she loves it. If you take care of it, it lasts a long time (don't roll the cord).

Reviewer: Disappointed from Baton Rouge, LA  Wed Mar 05 2008

I bought this product, because I was told that the Chi iron would not dry my hair out like other styling tools..WRONG..my hair was so dry and rough after using it and it. My friend bought a cheap iron from Walmart and when I used it I felt soooo cheated because I had spent so much money on the CHI iron and the results with the cheaper iron were 10x better. Well I guess I've learned my lesson: Expensive is not always better!

Product Rating: 2 destroyed my high expectations
Reviewer: Tia from VA  Tue Feb 19 2008

When I first got the Chi turbo i was soo excited, because i heard it was the best flat iron money could buy. I had all these expectations that it was going to cut down on the time and make my hair smoother, shinier, and flatter. Before that i had a FH1, that was working on an inklet of power and it still did a better job than the chi turbo. Not only did it acutally cook and fry my hair, destroyed my ends, and add on to my split end count it took just as long to straighten as a typical conair or hot tools flat iron, with really upsetting results. But, my solia is arriving soon and many say that it's sooo much better so i can't wait to see how it works!

Product Rating: 4 Good Iron
Reviewer: Kwi Park from Dallas, TX  Sun Feb 17 2008

I don't think this iron is as great as everyone claims it to be. It works well but I've had better. Perhaps if the customer service I received was better, I would be more excited about the product.

Product Rating: 1 Hasn't even lasted 6 months
Reviewer: Sheena from dallas, tx  Sun Feb 17 2008

If there was a rating for no stars that's what i would choose..it worked great up until the 5th month of use. I'm extemely disapointed after my mother dropped her money into it for my graduation gift. I still have straightners from walmart that have out lasted it...

If i (or anyone else for that mater) are going to spend that much money on a straightener...i expect it to last a year...

Product Rating: 5 BUY IT
Reviewer: Teresa from New York  Fri Feb 15 2008

I used my cousin's chi turbo and my hair looked shinier, healthier and straighter. It cut down on the amount of time it took to do my hair also. I usually spend about 30 minutes doing my hair, but this only took about 10 minutes. There were less split ends in my hair too. I bought my own and it is coming in a couple of days. I can't wait because I already know how good it is. My cousin has had her's for a couple of years with no problems. So from what i know, it is a great buy. I recomend also buying a heat protector spray for your hair. You spray it on before you straightn and it protects your hair from being damaged, even though it wont get that damaged in the first place because of the chi's ceramic plates. Overal i think it will be a GREAT BUY!

Product Rating: 5 It's great!!
Reviewer: Kate   Fri Feb 08 2008

I was always discouraged using many other flat irons. This one has worked wonderfully for me. I would recommend it to anyone. It is smooth. It heats up quickly. It doesn't take up a whole lot of space. Altogether I have been very pleased with this iron.

Product Rating: 5 Great results in minutes!
Reviewer: Sarah E from New York, NY  Tue Feb 05 2008

I love this straightener, it is the best I have ever used. I have long wavy/frizzy hair and I can get my hair stick straight in 15 minutes for a quick job, a few mins longer when I want it to be perfect. I definitely recommend it!

Product Rating: 4 CHI Turbo
Reviewer: Brenda   Wed Jan 30 2008

This is a great flat iron. It used to take me anywhere from and hour to an hour and a half to straighten my daughters hair. Now, its done within 30 minutes and she can do it herself. We love it.

Product Rating: 5 AWESOME!
Reviewer: Courtney   Tue Jan 29 2008

I've had my CHI for almost 2 months and I LOVE it. My hair is straight, but it's very thick and course. The CHI makes it look shiny and healthy with very little effort!

Product Rating: 1 Rough plates
Reviewer: KAM from Michigan  Mon Jan 28 2008

I have the original CHI and I love the smooth plates but it is too hot for my highlighted hair and is damaging it. I thought the CHI Turbo would be the perfect answer because I assumed it would have the same smooth plates but with the option to adjust the heat. I was very unpleasantly surprised when, before I even turned it on, I noticed that the plate surfaces seemed quite rough. I turned it on and only tried it on two strands of hair before I turned it off again and knew I would be sending it back. The rough plates caused it to pull my hair badly. It was probably the worst flat iron I have ever tried.

Product Rating: 5 I LOVE MY CHI
Reviewer: KEYSHA from ATL  Mon Jan 28 2008

IT IS A MUST FOR MY HAIR. IT DOES WONDERS AND I LOVE IT.

Product Rating: 5 CHI Ceramic Flat Iron is amazing!
Reviewer: anonymous   Mon Jan 28 2008

I love this straightner! I've had two because I used the first one so much it died. But they last a long time and are very durable and I love that you can't burn yourself as easy as you can on the normal ones. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a straightner and this website is one of the best deals you'll find.

Reviewer: Nate Talbot from CT  Mon Jan 28 2008

Great iron, does what it's supposed to do. Makes my hair very smooth and soft. Heats up very fast.

Product Rating: 5 GREAT!
Reviewer: Layla   Sun Jan 27 2008

I'm in love. I already had a Chi straighter( the bigger one of the two) I decided to get this one because I had side swept bangs and couldn't really style them with the big chi. OY. I like this one SO MUCH BETTER. whenever I straighten my hair it looks AMAZING. So much so that people have asked me if I've gotten myself extensions or some kind of hair treatment. I LOVE IT!

Product Rating: 1 disappointed
Reviewer: Jeff Lofland from Fort Worth, Texas  Fri Jan 25 2008

I am expressing my extreme disappointment with this product. I purchased it for my best friend's daughter's sixteenth birthday present a little over two months ago. About a week ago she went to plug it in and it does not work! We looked at the paperwork and it only has a thirty day warranty. Now I am not sure how to go about replacing it. She loved her present and used it everyday! For something so expensive it is an extreme disappointment for it already to not work! Maybe this review will get to someone who can help me you all obviously have my email, hope to hear from someone soon to save customer satisfaction.
