Let me say this. I am not a stylist by no means. I can barely do my own hair. But here recently I was tasked out to do my friends hair for her wedding. Was I fretting it, you better believe it. So I had borrowed this product from my stylist friend. Well, I decided to curl my hair for the wedding, which is long and super fine, its really hard to keep a curl. This curling iron kept all day long. Not only did it do a great job on my hair, the bride's was gorgeous! Once again I am an amateur and had an hour of practice with it, and yet here I was doing hair for a wedding. I recommend this product to anyone. The handle took a minute to get used to, but once I figured it out, I had no problem. And the bride's hair, looked professionally done!! Kudos to me!
Great Product not for everyone

I love this iron. I began Cosmetology school with it and still use it....in fact it is the only iron I will use. It is ergonomically design for a stylist to use on a client so we keep our wrists healthy...In Carpal Tunnel Here!
But, unless you are trained to use this tool don't. You will burn yourself. Hurt your joints, or worse hurt your hair. Stick to your high quality spring load and for special days go to a cosmo school or a salon for a good curl with this iron. I hear more complaints on this product because people don't know how to use it properly than I do actual problems with the product....aahhhmmm....there's a reason why it is called professional.
Awesome Curling Iron

As a cosmetology student i definetly recomend this product to any professional or individual who wants to learn to use it the proper way. However if you do not know how to use it I do not suggest trying it out unless your willing to put the time to learning it properly.
So happy with this iron!

For my wedding day (almost 5 years ago) I wanted perfect, big, loose curls. The stylist used this curling iron (1 1/2 inch barrel) and my hair looked just how I'd hoped! Two weeks ago my stylist curled my hair with this iron (nearly every stylist I know uses it) and I just LOVED the way it looked! My hubby loved it too! I ordered one the next day and now I curl my hair with it everytime I go out for a date or big event! This iron gives salon quality results! I am NOT good with doing my own hair, but I watched tutorials on youtube and got a good hairspray and I can achieve the perfect curls on my own! It really does what it claims, it heats up quickly, stays hot, and the way the handle can move makes it easy to work with. You won't find a better price than Folica! I even went with a friend to a Cosmetologist only store and their price was higher! The only con with this iron is that it doesn't glide through hair. You have to keep it open as you slide it down your hair. In every other way though, this is the perfect iron! If you're on the fence about buying the Hot Tools Marcel Curling Iron, don't hesitate, DO IT!!! You won't be sorry!!
I LOVE MARCELS!!!!

I love this curling iron simply because with a traditional spring iron I always had trouble with them breaking within a year or so, with a marcel you don't have that problem..I actually bought a marcel by accident and was like how in the heck do I use this thing. Then after a few weeks I got the hang of it and I will NEVER go back to a spring curling iron again...if you have trouble with controlling it just keep both handles locked..that's how I use mine!!...It takes time to get the hang of it but in the end it's wayy worth it!!...

If I can use this tool, anyone can. I'm usually unsuccessful at styling my own hair. I don't have the patience, my hair's heavy and I live in a humid area. But when I received this product from Folica and my stylist told she'd practiced rolling a piece of paper with one hand to use the Marcel,I read the directions, practiced while it was cold, and it clicked for me. I'm already better at it and quicker than with blow drying, and I believe, with regular use, I'll be able to get it down to a science. With a midway heat setting, it stays for days!
Great!

I have a lot of hair, but it's very fine. It has always been very difficult to get my hair to stay curled for a long time. This iron actually gets HOT! It does not damage my hair. You do not need to leave this iron on your hair long because it does get VERY hot. After you learn how to work the handle, you will love it! You have much more control over the iron with this type of handle. If you have difficulty with the handle, try controlling it with your index finger under it and your other fingers on top of it. Great curling iron for difficult to curl hair!

This product is terrible Ive had it for along time now and its very hard to use because of the clasp thing. And it damages your hair and doesnt even give you a curl!

if you know how to use this curling iron it will create the most gorgeous curls ever... the only thing i don't like about this is their is no tip on the end so you have to be careful about not getting too close

Amazing product. I have long straight hair and this is the only tool I can find that will curl it and keep it curled all day long.

I absolutely love this curling iron. I am used to using a marceling iron so it is no problem for me to use the iron. But it does lock - so that is a bonus. Also, it does not leave those dreaded kinks in my hair like the 'snapping' irons do. It was a replacement for one I bought six years ago. My daughter was using it and so I bought the both of us a new one. My hair is difficult to curl and if there is not enough heat, it does nothing. This iron heats up immediately so I don't have to wait. And it does get hot. I would definelty recommend this iron to anyone who needs a hot iron that works.
excellent

I have always loved this curling iron and buying it from Folica.com was very easy and economical. Shipment was prompt and I would not hesitate to use Folica.com again! My previous Hot Tools Marcel Curling Iron gave me great daily service for 10 years before I dropped it on a cement floor and broke it.
love it!

This iron heats fast and produces a beautiful curl. Much better than any spring iron I've owned. It takes getting used to for sure and you can expect to get burned once or twice but once you get it figured out you will love it. I have medium thick naturally curly hair and with this iron I can get the loose waves I like unlike other irons that didn't even come close to getting the results I wanted.
I definitely recommend this product.
Really bad

I have been using this iron for at least 10 years, but couldn't find it on the market when mine died. Went online, and found it with Folica. Found others also, but...some were more expensive; some companies had a minimum, etc. I chose Folica because it met my needs at the best price. It was delivered promptly, and I couldn't be happier with Folica. THANKS!
