Product Rating: 5 Key Word : PROFESSIONAL
Reviewer: anonymous   Thu Mar 06 2008

this is a professional waver, its not a crimper, that is totally different. With alot, well mostly all Professional thermal tools you wont get the spring handle, they'll always be marcel. This is designed to be used in professional settings, that is why SOME of you are having trouble getting perfect waves, you can also try flipping the waver and using it that way will produce a deeper wave and maybe be easier to control, if not Vidal Sassoon has a similar waver which doesn't get as hot but comes with a spring handle for the do it yourself stylist.

Product Rating: 3 Tough to hold, but gets the right look
Reviewer: Chelsie from Toronto, Ontario  Thu Feb 14 2008

It is pretty difficult to hold, but once you master the right technique, your hair looks fabulous.

Product Rating: 3 Hot Tools Professional 3 Gold Barrel Waver
Reviewer: Kimmie from Ketchikan, Alaska  Sun Feb 10 2008

I have wanted a waver for a long time, but when I went to get one, I couldn't find any, so I was happy to find one :)
The only thing I don't like about the waver is that the handle isn't springy...you have to manually lift it off your hair to continue down the piece you're waving. I have small hands so its kinda hard to do it. Once you get the hang of it its not bad.

Reviewer: Annie from Illinois  Wed Jan 30 2008

Heats up quickly, easy to use, waves are gentle and not too overstated. Recommend this product as great value and quality for the price!

Product Rating: 2 Too Hot
Reviewer: Ashlei from ATL  Wed Jun 20 2007

I have long healthy hair. I used this product on high and it burned my hair. I would not recommend this. Hair looks naturally wavy whe you braid it anywayz.

Product Rating: 2 Not a great poduct
Reviewer: Star from NY  Fri Apr 20 2007

I own almost every curling iron from hot tools because I think they are unbelievable and the curls actually hold for 2 days even if I brush through my hair, butI was very dissapointed in this weaver. It is a bit hard to hold and you have to hold it in one place for a very long time to get any sort of wave. For long hair like mine it takes wayto long to even bother. If you want deep waves this is deffinitly not the product. The results are similar as to if you braided your wet hair in a few brades and then undid them in the morning. It looks too 80's in my opinion. I use the 1.5 inch curling iron and get much better results for waves.

Product Rating: 1 Not User Friendly
Reviewer: Ashley from Salt Lake  Fri Apr 13 2007

I love my hair when I used my old 3 barrel, but when it was time to upgrade, I bought this one. However, there is no spring, and it is awkward to use. I don't like the way it opens downward either...I want the wave to start at the top of my head, not curving under. Looked bad when I did my hair. I returned it.

Product Rating: 5 Great product!
Reviewer: Keleah   Mon Jan 15 2007

I'm a cosmetologist and while I was in school, a couple girls and I used this product and our hair looked great. Even on my thick hair, not frizzy. I guess the people who have used this that didn't like it(caused hair to be frizzy, etc) must not have used product in their hair prior to using it. Key is: good product + this curler = A great style(that's not frizzy). I own one and love it.

Reviewer: Laurel from The HOOD, NY  Thu Jan 11 2007

I recently purchased my waver about two weeks ago. Everybody has been complementing me about my hair. It looks so pretty and isn't frizzy. I love it and recommend it to anybody looking for wavy hair!

Product Rating: 1 This thing is TERRIBLE!!!!
Reviewer: Michelle from Minneapolis, MN  Thu Jan 04 2007

I bought this thing because someone had reccomended it, big mistake! My hair looked like I stuck my finger in a light socket! Horribly frizzy and puffy! I had to take a shower and re-do my hair (I was late to work!) I was not going to leave my house with hair like that. Don't waste your money on this thing unless you want to look like a mess.

Product Rating: 5 Crimper 3 Barrel
Reviewer: Vickie from Oregon  Sat Dec 23 2006

My daughter and her friends love this tool. They do each others hair for hours. It takes my awhile to do my daughters hair but it's really cute when I'm done and she's able to do it herself. She's only 10.

Product Rating: 3 Worth a try..
Reviewer: Bea   Fri Dec 08 2006

I had been looking for a deep waver without success and decided to try the Hot Tools 3 barrel waver. It does a good job but the waves aren't as deep as I'd like and it doesn't get very hot. I found a deep waver last night by Vidal Sasson so I'm looking forward to giving it a try.

Product Rating: 5 it works really good!!
Reviewer: Siri   Sun Dec 03 2006

All of my friends and teachers ask me how i do my hair! i just take a shower at night, put some moose and gel in, go to bed, and in the morning i turn it on, and let it get reallllly hot and if you wait a while for it to get warm, it works fast! its really cuuuute =]

Product Rating: 5 heres a tip
Reviewer: kristen   Sat Nov 11 2006

i love it. i couldnt do my hair without it. right after i curl my hair i look like a poodle. so i take my mousse and dab
it (about quarter size) in my palm. i rub my hands together and than smooth it over the top of my hair. (dont run fingers through hair). it calms it down right away and holds the curl for the rest of the night. it is the best curling iron ever!!

Product Rating: 4 works for me!
Reviewer: Hez from Winnipeg Canada  Wed Oct 18 2006

I bought this product in March (and Folica shipped it all the way to Japan!) and I am happy with it. It does take a long time for me to wave all of my shoulder-length hair (about an hour) but I get compliments every time I do it. It's a great way to spice up your look when you are getting ready for a night on the town.

Product Rating: 1 wasnt impressed
Reviewer: Kayleigh from Salem, Virginia  Thu Oct 12 2006

I bought this triple barrel iron from my cosmotology teacher in high school bc i have really fine, stick-straight hair...but after using the iron i dont complain much about my straight hair. it made me look like i belong in a Dilbert comic strip. i hated it!

Product Rating: 3 its ok i guess
Reviewer: jennifer from new york  Thu Oct 12 2006

well it takes a really long time to do your hair because you have to hold it in a spot for about 10 seconds..and remember thats only one spot out of a lot. soon enough the waves die out and just become frizzish by the end of the day.

Product Rating: 5 its great
Reviewer: brittany   Mon Sep 18 2006

this product works great and i get compliments about my hair everytime i use it!

Product Rating: 4 Hot Tools Triple Barrel Curling Iron...Good
Reviewer: Katie from New York  Fri Sep 15 2006

This product works well. Although the instructions tell you not to use hair spray with the curling iron, I had to in order to keep the curl. I sprayed a 2 inch section with hair spray, combed it out, and then curled it.

Product Rating: 2 Not as good as expected
Reviewer: Heather Daugherty from IN  Tue Aug 29 2006

I had a different impression of the type of wave that this iron produced. It is not what I expected. I don't know how often I will be using it.
