 Worth the money June 13, 2005

I've wanted to get a hair straightener for some time, but was reluctant to spend a lot of money. I had my hair cut recently and the stylist was using this FHI straightener. She highly recommended it.
I opted for the cheaper item by hot tools. It was worthless. I returned it two days later for this model. I am so happy I did it! It looks like I just left the salon. It takes me less than ten minutes to do my hair, and it makes it look so smooth and shiny. Don't even waste your time and money this is the one you should get.
FHI Ionic Ceramic Styling Iron 1" September 5, 2005

I just purchased this iron after growing out my hair for the last six months. My hair is thick and quite coarse and it still works great. Having tried several less expensive flat irons, I was unprepared the great job that this iron would do. It's great! I suggest that everyone who wants a great flat iron, get this one. It makes your hair look like you just left the salon!!
Best Flat Irons I've Ever Used!!! July 7, 2006

This was my first time investing in more expensive flat irons. I used to use the Golden Hot line, but the irons (they were ceramic "plated")were no match for these. I did some research and read tons of reviews (from various web sites), and I must say that this product lives up to the hype. I was satisfied with how the transaction was handled as well. I received the product in a very timely fashion and it was worth every penny. I will be ordering from this vendor again. I would like to order another FHI iron, but a larger model.
Great! August 19, 2006

I think that this flat iron is the best your money can buy for you. Your hair will look even better than salon straight every day and works with the most thick, coarse, and wavy hair. It is also compatible to create natural waves without any crimp. The iron will live beyond it's warranty if properly used. I would recommend it to anyone.
FHI Heat Technique Ceramic Iron - 1 inch June 13, 2009

I just received this product two weeks ago, and have used it 3 times. It is well worth the price for a high quality product. I never bought a high-end flat iron before because I never knew the benefits. The products I used were good, but not as good as the quality I get from salons.
After a lot of research (I mean a lot), I was sold on the FHI flat iron. I went directly to the company website and read all the info, watched the product videos and even went to sites that only discussed beauty products. I know that seemed like a bit of overkill but I wasn't keen on forking over 100+ for a flat iron unless I was 100+ sold on the item.
After settling on the FHI model I went to a few sites to see if it was cheaper, I found an older model on Amazon, actually One Stop Shop, an Amazon seller, and was surprised by the price but wanted to get it even thought it wasn't the latest FHI model I saw on the company site.
I was so excited the first day I got it, I literally washed my hair right after work and commenced to full-out styling just to see how it held up. Well, I was extremely impressed. I like that it heats up quickly. The temperature setting is fixed to 410 degrees, which is more than enough for my hair. The latest models have temperature settings and go for about 100 dollars. I will tell you that I will purchase that one later since I am still floating on the FHI model I have now.
I did read mixed reviews on this product, some women (and men) floating over it and others writing disaster stories, like one I read saying the ceramic plates came out. So far so good with my product. But I will tell you, if you are a person that wants that 'out of the salon' feel you'll get it, if you take time to properly groom your hair and do the whole wash, deep condition, blow dry, straighten thing. Yes, the product is top of the line, but you have to use it like you know what your doing. I'm not a hair stylist but I have been doing my hair all my life, I go to the salon when I need a trim, or perm but it is far in-between since I don't like to drop close to 60 bucks every two weeks (I'm not frugal, but I'm busy with other bills you know).
I'm just warning the folks who are not familiar with styling their hair successfully, this product is definitely for a professional that can get to every inch of your hair. If you are using this on yourself (which I'm sure you are) be careful with the heat, on your hair and near your scalp, and try not to run the flat iron over the same section of hair since the heat is intense. I have very thick and coarse African American hair which I perm every 6-months, however a serious blow-dry and straightening makes my hair look so damn good I want that effect to take place everytime I style it. This product does it, I get a definite shine and it has major body and bounce. And it's very noticable from my economy brand flat iron that I used before (which I thought did an awesome job then, but I was seriously wrong after using this).
If you use this product wisely, and take care of your hair, you'll see a difference, and will not spend so much time in the salon.
