CHI flat irons? (NBR)

RedRobin81 · June 2009

I have wildly curly hair. I like to mix it up and occasionally blow dry and flat iron it smooth and purdy

I got my hair cut last week, and the stylist used a chi flat iron...it was amazing! I never put any thought into switching from my much cheaper brand because it got the job done...but now I am wondering if it could be worth the money!

Do any of you use a chi? If you've used others, do you find the chi was worth the expense?

*I recently rented my house up north, so I have a little extra cash flow. I could afford to make the switch, but I'm a cautious spender and I wanted some real ladies opinions.*

TIA!

My friends have been raving to me about the CHI for months. They love it.

I have one and love it. I will never go back to one of the cheaper ones again.

Absolutely love mine! Not only does it do a better job, but it is so much quicker as well!

I, too, use a Chi. I think they are great and worth every penny. If you live near an Ulta, I'm sure you can find a coupon on line. I've also seen them at Marshalls for $70.00.

Ulta was where I got my hair cut! BUT...it's 2 hours away lol.

Thanks to everyone who responded! It's just one of those things I would have hated to buy and realize it was just as good as my cheaper iron. Thanks again for all your opnions!

Chi is a good mid price brand, however they are known to die out within a year.

I loved it when my hair was longer... now that it's shorter I don't always have to use it.

just be careful, if it drop it, it will shatter.

If you find a place like harmon beauty supply it will be cheaper than getting it from the salon.

GL!

I know my SIL and I both have had ours longer than a year and they still work. I love it and like the PP said I'd never go back to a cheaper brand.

I have one and I love it! I just got it, and now I'm converted for life. I got it on Amazon for 60% off!

I have had mine for about 4 years - and it is still going strong! To me, absolutely worth it - doesn't cause breakage like the cheap ones do! I got mine at Ulta - with a coupon, so be sure to check!

RedRobin81 · June 2009

Ok, you've all twisted my arm.

I will be looking into this today, and again, thanks for all your opinions!

wifeyvana · June 2009

I used several different flat irons before recently switching to a Chi and I absolutely LOVE it! I got mine at ULTA on sale and with a coupon

nursebrooke**** · June 2009

The Costco near my house has them right now for like $55-60, which is a great deal!

anniekh · June 2009

Love mine. Works great, heats up fast, etc... and I've had it for like 4 years and it's still going strong!

I used to sell CHI and GHD (Good Hair Day - out of the UK)....Chi is decent, but if you want to do anything more than just straightening (like curling, waving, etc) get a GHD, they have plates that rock back and forth so you can do more than just straightening, you'll notice the Chi rocks a bit too, but the GHD is better ( I sold both companies). Since I was making the investment, I wanted something that was an awesome straightener and could curl. Go on youtube to see GHD how- to videos (you Chi users can do it too! but the curls, effects typically don't last as long). Sorry this got lengthy...

no way, i have had mine for about 6 years and it still works amazing. Plus they have a lifetime warranty, if it ever breaks you send them the iron and like 20 bucks and the send you a new one. FOREVER. as long as there is CHI, you can get a new one, and as many times as you need to.

OMG I'm addicted to mine! It was completely with the cost!

KelMel · June 2009

Considering every high end salon I go to has them and recommends them, I can't imagine they really break that quickly. I have had mine for years, as has my sister and mother. I think my mom's is the oldest at 7 years.
