Product Rating: 5 Bretta's thought
Reviewer: Labretta Edmondson from Cibolo, TX  Wed Oct 25 2006

I bought this for my 14 yr. old daughter, who is has to have a good hair day everyday! This does it for her. She loves the body it leaves her hair with. I love its none - damaging effects on her hair. This is not the average hair straightener. I think it was well worth the $$!

Product Rating: 4 Does the job well short-term but fried my hair in the long-term
Reviewer: Shannon L from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada  Wed Oct 25 2006

Great hair straightener gets super hot super fast but I've been using it for over a year and my hair is fried at the ends. Just bought the Sedu in hopes that it will be less damaging.

Reviewer: Patti from SW Florida  Sun Oct 22 2006

The first time I tried this flat iron, I wasn't really blown away. My hair is wavy and fine so it's not difficult to straighten, even with a cheap straightner. By the second or third time I used it I started to see that this *was* a quality flat iron. It makes my hair way more soft and silky than other flat irons and keeps it that way even in the summer humidity of Florida. It also heats up within seconds. I am however nervous about all the problems with the cord that I've read about. The warranty states that "it does not cover shorts in the power supply cord or plug". I'm hoping I won't be faced with this problem because I really like this iron and don't want to get screwed out of $80 within a year!

Product Rating: 5 Good iron to learn on
Reviewer: anonymous from virginia  Thu Oct 19 2006

This is my first straight iron, but I find it very easy to learn how to straighten my hair on. I like the stick straight result.

Folica was great, awesome deal for the flat iron plus they also gave me a free pouch for the flat iron. I would definetly order from them again.

Reviewer: DEBBIE from FLORIDA  Mon Oct 16 2006

I REALLY LIKE THE PRODUCT. IT DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO. I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE THE HUMIDITY IS A KILLER AND IT KEEPS MY HAIR STRAIGHT ALL DAY. I AM VERY HAPPY I PURCHASED THIS PRODUCT.

Product Rating: 5 terrific!!!!
Reviewer: Cheryl L. Shaw from Los Angeles, CA  Sat Oct 14 2006

For a first time user of a true ceramic iron at home, I was thoroughly ecstatic. My stylist has been recommending this for months and I finally purchased one: I'm loving it!!!!

Product Rating: 5 Great Flat Iron
Reviewer: m from Irvine, CA  Fri Oct 13 2006

My hairdresser recommended that I buy this flat iron. From someone with extremely curly hair, I noticed how much better this flat iron works than others I have used. It gets my hair straighter and keeps it straighter for longer. Highly recommend.

Product Rating: 2 broke after 4 months
Reviewer: Julie from California  Thu Oct 05 2006

I have gone through 2 Hai flat Irons in 8 months. They were never dropped, missused, or anything, but after about 4 months they both just stopped working. Their performance as a straightener is great, thats why I bought the second one, but for the price, I was hoping for something that lasted longer than 4 months. They should sell them as disposable flat irons.

Product Rating: 5 GREAT PRODUCT!!!!!
Reviewer: HAI lover from Mill Valley, CA  Wed Oct 04 2006

this is my second purchase of the HAI ceramic flat iron. It works INCREDIBLY well!! I had my first one for 4+ years until my roommate in college threw a pile of books on it and stepped on the pile, which broke the joint of the two plates. EVEN THOUGHT THE JOINT WAS BROKEN, the flat iron STILL WORKED GREAT!!! I just had to maneuver the plates when I straightened my hair. I'm over trying to do that so I decided to just give in and invest in my 2nd HAI flat iron. Its a purchase well made, it will last you forever and give you the straightest, most soft hair ever. I reccommend it to all my friends!!! What I love most is using it on a friend with really really super curly hair who says "no flat iron, but a professional one, will make my hair straight with no frizz." Then to see the expression on her face when she sees her straight hair....its really a miracle!!!

Reviewer: Nikki from Honolulu, HI  Thu Sep 28 2006

I'm very disappointed in this product. I currently own a sedu and wanted something that works like the chi so after reading all the good reviews about hai i decided to purchase one. The first time I used it, it was okay, it didn't give up much shine but after giving it a few days I started to like it. Within only two weeks of owning it, it shut off on me while I was using it. I thought maybe it was the socket so I tried putting it in another socket. That didn't work. I didn't wind up the cord once since I've owned it like everyone else said not to do. No wonder it's affordable, You get what you pay for unfortunately for me, it lasted less than two weeks. I'm getting a Paul Mitchell instead, something that will actually work and I can depend on.

Product Rating: 3 Power cord issues
Reviewer: Rachel Steel   Wed Sep 27 2006

I have purchased two of these HAI Convertible Flat Irons. I love their ability to straiten my naturally thick and wavy hair. However, they both had power cord issues which caused me to be unable to use them any longer. The first lasted about two years, which is why I purchased the second. However, the second only lasted six months!!! I didn't even use it every day! I was pretty disappointed, and will probably purchase a different flat iron this time around.

Product Rating: 5 it's so nice!!

very good!!

Product Rating: 4 love it but......
Reviewer: V Stanley   Wed Sep 27 2006

I love this hair straightener, however, I have had to replace it pretty often. I have purchased 3 of the same straightener in 9 months!!! At $85 per it gets pretty expensive. Just thought you'd all like to know.vst

Reviewer: Alanna from Norwalk, CT  Mon Sep 25 2006

Excellent product, I used it every single day for 2-3 years and it finally died. I went and bought the Solia to see if any better (b/c the heat on a Solia goes up to 450 degrees) but it wasn't worth it. So I went back to the HAI, glad I did. It is the best product by far b/c it straightens AND curls your hair at the ends if you want it to. With Solia the ends came out square and ugly! Plus the 450 degree heat took away any body your hair might've had. The edges of the HAI are much smoother and rounded so that you can flip your hair, curl the ends, or just bump it. Excellent product! Would purchase again in a few years! (Remember that's only if you use it every day...but lower the heat for daily use!) Hope this helps...

Product Rating: 5 5 years
Reviewer: Andrea from Palos Verdes, CA  Mon Sep 25 2006

For those of you that claim the HAI does not last long, I beg to differ. I am now going on my fifth year of owning the HAI, and I am just now researching for other products trying to compare. After 5 years, it still works, however I think some of the wires inside have loosened, becuase I need to sometimes play around with the cord to get it in place to start up. Then it's fine. So for people that are claiming they've only had it for a month or so, that's just because you don't take care of it. I've had it for 5 years!

Product Rating: 5 I love it!
Reviewer: Liz Lucero from Laguna Hills, CA.  Fri Sep 22 2006

This the best flat iron I have ever used. I am a stylist and it is so sleek and does amazing flips and waves as well. The quality is unsurpassed, the temp settings are a big plus, something I like over the Chi. I highly recommend it!

Product Rating: 5 Straight and Shiny
Reviewer: Melissa from Carlsbad, CA  Thu Sep 21 2006

The HAI Convertible flat iron makes my naturally curly hair straight and shiny. I purchased my first one in 2002 and it lasted almost 4 years of using it almost every day! This product survived numerous trips and moves and never lost it's heat strength. It's definitely worth the investment.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Product Rating: 5 Awesome Iron!!!
Reviewer: Kris   Wed Sep 20 2006

I have used various cheaper irons from Target and have always been satisfied but not thrilled with the results. I recently moved to New York and was definitely unhappy with the effects that the humidity has on my hair so I decided it was time to upgrade to a better iron. This the one to get. Despite light to moderate rain, humidity, sweat, etc, my hair still stays straight and sleek. This iron is totally worth the money! It arrived quickly, is easy to use, and the results are wonderful. I highly recommend it!
