    Good While It Lasted
    I had a good experience with my iron! I loved it! It heated up really quickly, I liked that I was able to adjust the temperature, and I loved that it wasn't that heavy or bulky. I am mixed Japanese/Black and have LOTS of really curly, fine hair. I started out using a CHI but switched to PM Smoothing iron. I like it better than the CHI. I took off a star because I dropped it about 2 feet from my dresser and it just stopped working... at a really inopportune time might I add. I really needed it and I won't have a flat iron for a big event I have coming up. I ordered the Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Iron from this site and I'm waiting for it to arrive in Japan. I'm hoping it will last me longer than my PM which I've had for 3 years. At least it lasted longer than the 3 CHI's i've owned in the past... they lasted 2 years tops. (I do use my iron everyday though...)
    I will say though, that the PM Smoothing iron doesn't really hold up in high humidity. My hair frizzed easily even with the products I use to prevent frizz and to protect my hair from the heat. I even have my hair texture controlled so yeah...

    Looking forward to getting the SEDU and seeing how that compares to the other brands I've owned!

    Absolutely AMAZING. I have difficult hair and this was the first one ever used in a salon that got my hair completely straight. I bought one and have used it for 5 yrs! It's finally starting to crap out on me after that long and I'm so sad :-( But ABSOLUTELY feel confident in this purchase. I straighten my hair 2-3 times a week and my hair still looks healthy and glossy. Easy to curl and flip too. I can't say enough good things about this iron!

    I have had this Flat Iron since I was 16 im not 21 almost 22. My mom bought it for me for my sweet 16. It was my 1st flat iron and I have never used another one :).. This iron is my best friend for my hair. I keep it in a case and I take it every time I leave my house for an over night trip or even a vacation. I really don't know what I would do with out this Flat Iron, my hair is frizzy and wavy and this flat iron makes my hair so smooth and straight!!! So sad to see I cant get another one for friends/ family..

    I Love My Pm
    I purchased my PM in 04. I was torn between this and the Chi but choose this bc of the temp control. I couldn't have asked for a better flat iron. It has been wonderful up until a couple of weeks ago when it started shorting out. Now it no longer works and I can't seem to find one online anywhere. I have been very happy with mine and beings that it lasted 6 years, I definately got my money's worth. I really want another one just like this but I am not having any luck and now I don't know what to do. People say they have problems with their flat irons pulling their hair and when having my hair done by my stylist, it has happened with the differnt ones that she has used over the years... but I have never had that problem with my PM. I don't know about the new PM I can only speak for this particular model. I love it and hope that I can find it again~

    Great Tool...until It's Not Anymore
    I love love loved my Lime Green Paul Mitchell tool...had it for 3 wonderful years until one day...it started shorting out. :( It was a sad sad sad day when the hair gods took it away. I bought a CHI and I hate hate hate it- that's why I'm here- I wanted to see if I could reinvest in the same iron. Alas! I'm not the only one who experienced a bad bad bad cord and PM took it off the market. But I loved my LGPM flat iron so so so much that I am willing to select another more expensive iron from their product lineup.
