    Great Marcel Iron!
    I have been looking for a good marcel iron ever since my last one died on me, so I decided to try this brand based on all the great reviews. I purchased the 1 1/4" size and it works great! It heats up quickly, and I like how it has an on/off switch, temperature settings, and a swivel cord. My only complaint is how heavy it is! My last one, the Gold N' Hot brand, was significantly lighter and easier to maneuver (however, within a year I went through 2 irons from this brand due to power failure). Anyways, I'm sure I will get used to it. Overall, a great product!

    Disappointing.
    I bought this after having read all the positive glowing reviews. I was thoroughly disappointed.

    Although I quickly got the hang of using the Marcel, the curls it produced were frizzy and did not even stay in my hair for a minute. I followed all the instructions and prepared my hair as advised. Still, the curls dropped before I'd even finished the next piece of hair.

    Also, the lack of a 'cool tip' make this iron extremely dangerous. I wore a kevlar glove and was very very careful with the iron, however I still managed to give myself two severe burns.

    I ended up returning this iron and buying a 1" flat iron to curl my hair with.

    Unless you already have glossy non-frizzy hair that curls easily, I'd recommend a different product.

    Best Kept Secret For Long Lasting Curls!
    This iron saves time when doing clients' hair because of its heat settings and easy lock/unlocking mechanism in the handle. No matter how hard their hair is to curl, this iron always gives a perfect frizz free curl that holds. Heats up super fast (literally in seconds!) I have it in 3 sizes 3/4", 1", and 1 1/4". A must-have in every stylist's bag.

    I Really Hate This Curling Iron!
    I really did not like this curling iron!
    i had really high expectations for it because of all the great reviews.
    It is not easy to use at all and the clamp doesnt stay tight, it lets hair slip. the handle isn't easy to use.
    I curled my hair and about two minutes later the curls turned into a yucky wave, my hair is usually easy to curl so i dont know why this happened.
    There is nothing to grab onto on the top so that isn't any help either.
    One other thing i really didn't like about it is that none of the curls are ever the same, it makes totally different curls every time and it really bothers me because it happens even when i curl the strands of hair the same.
    I am taking this back because i majorly disliked it.

    Must Have Styling Tool!
    Great professional iron, can't beat the price! I am a stylist and have been loving this iron for 3 years, it heats up fast and works beautifully. Although a marcel is a tricky adjustment at first i recommend this iron for consumers too. Watch a tutorial on youtube or have a stylist show you how to use it! It actually works much better than the spring iron version, its completely different. This iron is a must have styling tool.

    Falls Apart!
    falls apart. Do not waste your money! Screws too tight and cracking the plastic piece that holds the cord.

    At Last
    My mom used the marcel styled curling irons all her life and this is what I grew up using. I went to Sally's and they only carried a no name brand for $13 and they didn't even get hot and I hated using the spring arm ones. Came back to Folica.com found what I wanted it was shipped right away, I bought the 3/4 barrel now I will be purchasing the 1/2 barrel. My theory if it ain't broken don't fix it, I'll only use marcel styled curling irons

    A Must Buy!
    Having looked everywhere for a 3/8" curling iron and not finding one, I looked at this website and was delighted to find exactly what I wanted. Arruved quickly and is great. Highly recommend this product.
