great until it melts

I LOVED this straightener for the two years I owned it - took perfect care of it, never dropped it, never left it turned on too long.... today as I was waiting for it to heat up I smelled a faint burning... didn't think much of it until I put the straightener to my hair - lo and behold, one of the plates, as if in slow motion, slid off the plastic arm and dangled by a wire. I thought it must have slipped out, but no - the iron had MELTED the plastic that holds the plates in place and before I had a chance to turn it off the second plate also slid out, my bathroom smelled foul - burned plastic and hair, and the thing kept melting as I was holding it waiting for it to cool. I was all around horrified. the thing is, while it worked it was amazing - the best thing that ever happened to my hair... now i have to deicide whether to buy another or try this one again.

HAI Stik Ceramic Pressing Flat Hair Iron

I have owned many flat irons before this. But this one is the best yet. I actually had to purchase a second one, because I accidentally stepped on my first one and I snapped one of the arms off! :~( It was totally my fault. My hair is already straight to begin with, but the Hai Flat Iron gets my hair FLAT when I want it to be flat. It looks just like Jen Anistons hair when she was on friends. It heats up in seconds, and gets my hair stick straight with just one pass. I get ready in 1/2 the time, thanks to this little baby!!!

This is the second flat iron I purchased since I was so impressed with the first one which I purchased approx. 2 years ago. Unfortunately, they have changed the design from my original purchase and I have been unable to detect a light indicating the iron is on. I returned the purchase thinking there was a possible defect and received the same identical unit back. Needless to say, I am very unhappy with my purchase.
excellent straighteners

I'm 13 and I live in Boston MA. I just got these straighteners a few weeks ago and they are amazing! I have very curly frizzy hair and it use to take me over 2 hours to straighten my hair. With these starighteners it takes 30 minues or less! They are amazing! If you straighten your hair and then you go outside and its humid your hair will still stay dead straight! My hair comes out shiny and gorgeous every time I do it! I really think if you need new straighteners you should get these they are defenetly worth the money!
I Highly Recommend It

I purchased the HAI stik pressing iron almost 3 years ago during the time while my hair was in its natural state. I learned about it in San Antonio, TX, a student at the beauty school used this exact iron to press my hair. It staightened so well it felt like she had put a relaxer on my hair. I tried the conventional pressing comb, but it did not straighten my hair like this iron. Trust me my hair is coarse and thick, I definitely understand why my mom put a relaxer in my hair at the tender age of 3. Now that my hair is relaxed again I still use it and it still works like a charm. It has not burned my hair, my hair is healthy, and since I use it between touch-ups it straightens and smoothes all the way to the root. I always get comments on my hair, even from my hairdresser. I love it.....I highly recommend it to those of you who have very thick and coarse hair like mine...........
peice of sh* broke twice but works good

im sooo annoyed with this straightner...i took such good care of it...never dropped it or anything...the stupid thing just stopped working while i was using it. i tried the reset button but that didnt work...so i got a new one under warranty...that thing worked really good...it did the same thing 3 months later and these losers told me i cant get a new one cuz the warranty is up...sumthing about thier policy...i think thats crap. other than the fact that it breaks so easily...eveyone i know wiht different hair types...i mean like coarse thick hair, short normal hair wahtever it be...has loved the straightner. if u have super thick hard 2 straighten hair try using that straight and sexy spray stuff...the red bottle...thennnn straightn it...works like a charm:)
Pretty Satisifed

this is the second straightner i've been through in a year (this same exact model). i really like the straightner and think it does a pretty good job. But unfortunately the first one the i bought, the cord did not work unless i bent it and clipped it to the handle. Now that i got my second one i found that it has to be above a specific heat in order for it to turn on. Both of these are electrical problems and are not covered in the warranty. Overall, i think the straightner is a good investment at a very reasonable price.
Not So Great

The HAI Stik Cermaic Pressing Flat Iron did not work so great. Yes, it gets your hair straight, but at the same time it dries out your hair and makes it frizzy. It does not seem to add any shine or luster. I have the $85 HAI Convertable Ceramic Flat Iron, and it works great. I bought it a long time ago and it is still going strong. It makes my hair shiny, smooth, and sraight. In short, get the $85 HAI Ceramic Convertable Ceramic Flat Iron, not the $75 HAI Stik Ceramic Pressing Flat Iron.
pretty pleased

the hai straightener is a good product, though it is quite costly. it heats up quickly and is hotter than any other iron i've had, but something about it bothers me. i feel like it randomly drops in heat even though the red light is still on. make sure you read all reviews before purchasing this product. and if you have long hair, go for atleast a 1.5" iron.
excellent until it broke

I loved this straightner until it broke. It just feel apart and now all that is left is two unconnected arms of the straightner... so sad. I've had it for 8 months took very good care of it, but one day it just feel apart, literally. I wish at least i dropped it for it to break, but nope, just straighening my hair one day and it completely feel apart. I am thinking and calling them to see if they can fix it or buy a new one. The good thing is it went down 10 in 8 months... pretty cool. However, i don't think i will buy the same one again...
pretty good iron

Ive had it for about a month now, and i swear its not as effective now as it was the first week i started using it. doesnt really make a diff tho, its still ridiculously hot and does the job. dont see any signs of my hair being fried too badly just yet. best thing about it is that it heats up incredibly fast, and the temperature control is great.
Liked the size

This is a fabulous product at a great price. I have owned one for 2 years and I just bought one for my mom. I spent a great deal more at a salon for mine, but found the exact same product at Folica for a much better price.
great product

I bought this for my sister for Christmas after readinging so many positive reviews on Amazon. It also has the solid ceramic plates instead of just a coating which was important.
Well, I spoke to my sister and she says she absolutely LOVES it and is addicted to it! She said it was very easy to use and very effective and left her hir very shiny not to mention straight.
Great Ceramic Iron!

I bought my first HAI Stik about 2 years ago, and it still works like a charm. Heats up instantly, doesn't rip my hair out and leaves my locks perfectly straight, soft and shiny. I would definitely recommend this iron to anyone looking not to spend a fortune, but looking none-the-less to get a great ceramic flat-iron. I have medium length, baby fine hair, and the iron's temperature controls allow me to select the perfect heat setting. I bought this for my roommate as a holiday gift because she loved it and used mine all the time (her and I have the same hair type). It's all-around a great buy and a great ceramic iron!

I bought this for my girlfriend since she hated her hair straighter. She loves it. She says it is ten times better then her old one. It's not cheap though.
