I have the green and black Paul Mitchell flat iron which I bought from my hair salon about 3 years ago and it still works great. I wanted to buy a new flat iron just in case my old one breaks and I first bought an FHI limited edition. I returned it because it changed the texture of my hair in a very strange way regardless of which temperature setting I used and it took a long time to straighten my hair with it. I was very dissatisfied with it. So, I decided to buy another Paul Mitchell iron and I chose this one. This iron is just great. It straightens without damaging hair and I use it at the highest setting. It leaves your hair shiny and smooth. It takes me about ten minutes if I first wash my hair and lightly blow dry. In between washings,I use it to style my hair in just a couple of minutes. (I have shoulder length, medium thick, frizzy hair.) This is an excellent flat iron and I plan to stick with the Paul Mitchell stylers.

I am new to flat ironing and purchased this flat iron at the suggestion of my stylist-it is the one she uses and I have been happy with the results when she does my hair except for one time when I think she needed to clean the residue off her plates. When I first got the product I took it to the salon and had my stylist do my hair so my inexperience would not be a factor if I was not happy with the results. I am glad I did becuase it pulled my hair to the point where it looked kind of static-y, and she was pulling hair off the plates about every 4-5 swipes toward the end. When I asked she said hers did the same thing when it was new. I am admittedly a novice with this type of styling but that seemed odd to me. I went to a store that sells different types of flat irons and ran some of them over my hair (they weren't plugged in) just to see the difference-only this one and one really cheap one pulled. I deduced it was the silicone strips because none of the other irons had those, including the 1.25 Paul Mitchell iron, which I also tried. The other things most people look for in a flat iron are met by this product: it heats up in 60 seconds, it is easy to grip, cools off quickly, 1-2 glides to get the hair really straight, and the result is soft with a nice shine. However, it seems to me that prolonged use with that kind of pulling is damaging and a new product should not do that. It is too bad, otherwise this is a great iron and would have received a 5 star rating from me.Want Paul Mitchell Protools Express Ionstyle Professional Styler Discount?
I got this straightener about 6 years ago or so when I think it first came out. I just got my second one in the mail today. This is by far the best straightener I have ever used. I have naturally curly/frizzy thick hair and I only have to pull this through a strand of hair once and its straight and shiny. My hair never looks dead or damaged from using this one even if I go 6+ months without a haircut. The only reason I am on my second one is because after 6 years my first one is starting to smell funny, kinda like burnt (but I wasn't the best at keeping up on cleaning it and I use product in my hair). But for lasting me this long and using it every single day I am not complaining. I have tried plenty of other products and NOTHING compares to this. My mom will be getting this one too some time soon because she has loved using mine any chance she gets. I would 100% without a doubt recommend this straightener to anyone and everyone. And I just want to mention since I do have curly frizzy hair I wanted to point out that the gripper strips have never pulled my hair to where it hurts or falls out. That is actually the best part of this straightener. Bottom line if you are thinking about ordering this one you should, you won't regret it.Save 31% Off
