Heats up quickly, and straightens faster and easier than any other flat iron I've owned. I have had this exact one since 2007 and am STILL using it!! After Countless times of dropping... countless trips to Europe, un-raveling it by simply swinging it out by the cord when it was wrapped up.. and it is still a champion and still working. I am going to try the Solia because it might straighten better after having this for 3 years, but this still works awesome! Might as well get another iron though in case... You wont be disappointed.. :)This worked great for the first six months, but then the "ceramic" started peeling off. The plates look like metal underneath. Now it snags on my hair & I need to get a new one. Should have know this price was too good to be true for a Chi! I bought this for my daughter and was very happy with my purchase. Very cute design!! Shipping was excellent also!! Would definitely buy from this seller again!! I have very very naturally curly hair, and it is thick. I have tried numerous brands of flat irons and nothing works like a Chi. The life span on them seems to be about 5 years, at the 5 year mark the cord usually gets a short in it and you have to wiggle it and hold your mouth just right to get it to stay on. When mine quit, (got that one in 2007) I had to find one and find it quick, but I wasn't willing to pay the outrageous salon prices for one. In salons where I live, they retail for around $150-$175. So I immediately got on Amazon, I get a lot of items from this site. I wanted a pink one, and if possible a pink breast cancer one (my mom has been fighting her battle with it for 5 years now.)
When I came across this one I really liked it and the price was very reasonable. It is pink, and I couldn't make out the details from the picture posted. When it arrived I was very pleased. It is pink and it is covered in little shiny silver breast cancer ribbons all over it. I really like the design. I purchased it from the seller Beauty Concepts for $74.99 I believe. It is a limited edition iron and came with a nice pink Chi brand bag, it is pretty good sized. The flat iron is the genuine Farouk Chi brand, not a knock off. I have seen several that claim to be the Chi brand, but aren't as advertised. All the Chi irons I have had, had the standard on/off switch and indicator light. No dials to adjust the temperature, which wouldn't be helpful to me since my hair is so thick and curly that I would keep it on high anyway. This one is just like every other Chi I have owned (except the color and design) and works great. It is the 1" Chi, which is also all I have ever owned, so if the size description worries you, it shouldn't, it is a standard size. When this one hits the 5 year mark and dies (I say this because out of the 3 I have had, each lasted 5 years) I will definitely buy from this seller again if possible.
