I went to the LA County Fair where Corioliss has a large display stand and chairs to do hair curling/straightening demonstrations with their flat iron. She curled the ends of my hair with a straightener and I LOVED it, so I paid $80 and went on my way. I used it 3 times since then. On the 4th try, it wouldn't get hot. It would warm up, and then turn off. I was luckily able to go back to the Fair to exchange it, which they did with no problems. But the new one I received won't stay on now. I've tried it in different outlets, started with the heat down low, power on OFF, then turned ON, and it still won't get hot. The light goes out and that's it. They have a stand at the Ontario Mills Mall, so now I have to go there to exchange it AGAIN because they do not issue refunds. On one hand, when I was able to curl my hair, it came out great, just like they advertise. It was shiny, silky, beautiful full curls that lasted all day. And I have super straight asian hair and was totally impressed with the results. But what's the point in standing up for a product that cost $80 and doesn't work when I want it to?! Definitely not worth the money or the hassle to drive around town to have it exchanged. There's got to be a more reliable flat iron out there that does the same thing but doesn't short out. I wish I knew this before I lost money on it.
hope this helps!The worse product I have ever purchase! It's not that cheap even after you use the coupons. Product came home looking used up, stretched, and been through a lot. After a few weeks of "debating" they send me another one WORSE than before. Not to mention my skin got rashes after unboxing the iron! There are marks and dust all over my friends iron and mine...we both order from different areas and different flat iron but the out come of this company product and service is the same. After this purchase I learned to never purchase from small companies like NUME. Made me cut the dusty, scratch up iron so that they can replace a dustier and more scratched up one and to be better off..in a different color! Made me waited a whole month to be disappointed all over again with this company. Please don't like me! Even Target can do better.I ordered this because of it's dual voltage function. I was hoping to take it with me to Europe this summer. When it arrived I tested it and found it to be a complete waste of money. The plates do not align so your hair doesn't heat or straighten evenly. It actually pulls your hair! I have returned it to the vendor and they will not give me a refund. They say I have a replacement from the manufacturer. That was nearly a month ago and so far I have no flat iron, no refund and no option but to buy something else from a more reputable vendor. Don't waste your money!
