Big Disappointment,

This review is from: CHI 1" Original Ceramic Style Flat Iron by Farouk (Misc.)
I've been using a Chi iron for 5 years now and I must admit that they get the job done. My problem is that I live in Florida and the weather... well it's not the best weather for straight hair, especially if you're naturally curly. I lost my Chi iron a couple of months ago (the one I've had for years) so I decided to get the same one. We all know they are super expensive, so when I saw the cheap prices of $65 and so on I decided to buy it here. I got it within a couple of days from the day of purchase and it worked wonders... the first two months. I was straightening my hair for a date with my boyfriend when all of a sudden it TURNED OFF!! I figured it had over heated or something so I let it cool down. Nothing. My iron hasn't worked ever since and I have it sitting in my room,completely new, and useless!! I tried to contact the seller but he/she couldn't do anything about it. My recommendation: Make sure it has warranty!!! :P

Doesn't seem like a true Chi,

I owned a Chi previous to this purchase and loved it. When I bought this one, the pictures looked exactly the same as the one I owned so I thought I was getting a really good deal. When I got the product, it was not the same as the REAL Chi I had owned. This one is a lot lighter, has a different outlet plug, doesn't get near as hot, and pulls on your hair. Overrall, not what I thought I was getting when I bought it. I could have gone to a drug store and bought a $20 hair staightner for the same quality.

Faux CHI,

This is not a real CHI flatiron. It does not work as well as a CHI, it does not get as hot as a CHI, is not made from the same quality material as a CHI, does not come with a 2 year warranty like a CHI, the Farouk name stamp comes off after a week, there is not a serial number on the iron like a real CHI, does not have a model number on it like a real CHI, even the box it comes in is thin cardboard compared to the box the real CHI comes in. At the price paid it is simply a rip off and was returned. In all fairness to there being different vendors mine came from Good Stuff Ever through Amazon - but never again.
