    The single best hair styling item ever! MUST HAVE!
    Reviewer: Michelle from Bourbonnais, IL   2009-06-08

    My hairdresser introduced me to this flat iron and my life has changed dramatically! I have fine but very straight hair (I am asian) and nothing does what this iron does! I am able to use this as a curling iron, straightening iron and just about everything in between. The iron heats up fast and goes to 390 degrees which is what I need to put any life into my hair. The iron is easy to use and durable which is a major plus. I have never seen such a versatile iron before and this website had the best prices on the internet! I spent the most on this iron as I have ever spent on a hair appliance and let me tell you, it was worth every penny. I use this almost on a daily basis. It is easily transported and comes with a storage bag. I absolutely love love love this product.

    Big disappointment
    Reviewer: Dana Seidl from Hershey, PA   2009-05-19

    Maybe the HAI Tong iron works well to straighten hair, but it did absolutely nothing to curl my hair as the description said it would. I tried everything I could think of: moving it slowly through the hair to give it more time to set which created funny little jerky marcel waves, curling it around it iron itself which made kinks, and holding for a long time on the ends which did a good job of frying the hair and making splits. I'm going back to a regular curling iron which is what I should have bought in the first place. Thank goodness for Folica's return policy.

    Happily Surprised...
    Reviewer: Yvette Babcan from Toronto, Ontario, Canada   2009-05-01

    I was happily surprised by this iron/tong. It quickly turned my long hair from frizzy/curly to straight, silky and shiny...in record time. You have the option of flipping your hair up, or curling it under as you straighten. Unlike regular flat irons, it has the ability to give you a bit of lift at the roots giving the illusion of a blow dry rather than that completely flat against your head -- I just used a flat iron look. I'm wondering if I'm going to have much use for my T3 straightener (which I also love) anymore...

    Great Performer - I used it for 1-2 years
    Reviewer: Vaunda Noerenberg from Atlanta, GA   2008-07-20

    I was skeptical at first of the crescent-curved tong/iron but found it so easy to use without burning fingers or skin. It imparted a great shine. I was totally hooked after less than one week. Recently, I accidentally jerked the cord (virtually tripping over it) and apparently broke the connecting wires inside the cord assembly. I would think you could replace the cord, as it is a modular unit. I truly appreciated the controlled temperature settings and the quick warm-up and cool-down; as well as - especially! the gloss-effect on normal naturally curly hair (shines the "nap")for the fringe/bangs. I agree with others that it lasts like no other! No other implement I have owned (or has been used on my hair) has been this easy or effective (Outstanding performer)(and only 55 watts!if you remember to turn it off when done! ;-).

    Reviewer: Kim Miller from Orange Park FL Salon Nouveau   2008-06-29

    this is a great tool, I am a hairdresser in orange park FL, and alot of my clients really enjoy the change of soft Beachy waves as opposed to the flat iron that is so common now a days. I find it easy to use and it does so many different things.
