Customer Reviews of Farouk CHI Auto-Digital Advanced Wet to Dry Ceramic Ionic Flat Iron 1-1/4" with Free Stand and Thermal Pouch
Customer Review: Works great
Summary: 5 Stars
I have only owned one other "professional" flat iron before. That was the Solia. It worked well for several years, but after 4 years of use I decided I needed something new! I had heard a lot about the chi, and my stylist uses it on my hair. I was hesitant to buy it at first but after going through many reviews of different flat irons I decided to go ahead and purchase this one.
I do not use it on my hair when it is wet. I have used it on my hair when it was about 90 percent dry. My hair is very long, wavy and frizzy, and this flat iron can straighten my hair in about 10 minutes. It can also be used for curls, however this took some practice for me. I have had it for 6 months now and have had no problems with it.
Overall, I think this is a great flat iron!
Customer Review: heats up fast, holder is great
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this product. Used someone else's and found it worked much better than my Hot Tools. This heats up in less than a minute, and saves lots of time. It stays hot and you can read the temp and know that halfway through it is still just as hot as the beginning of doing your hair. Allows me to finish the end with a curve, and not just broomstick straight. This was the best price I could find, and I checked everywhere. Having the place to put the iron while working keeps it secure. I used to end up knocking the flat irons down when I just put them down on the counter. This is spring locked into the holster, so it doesn't come out if you lean against the cord. I really like this flatiron. I have thick hair, and it works really fast and leaves me with a good shine, and a lasting style.Customer Review: Damaged product
Summary: 3 Stars
Was not a pleasant experience, I purchased the product the first week of December for Christmas. The product arrived damaged a few days later, I contacted Discountjungle for a refund and stated the full amount to be refunded which they approved with an RMA #, along with the reason for my return. I was asked if I wanted a replacement; but, was never informed they would charge a 10% fee if I refused the replacement and just returned the product. After a month they finally sent confirmation of a refund which was not the full amount I had originally paid for the product. In the end all Discountjungle had to say in an email to me was... "We are sorry to find out that you were not aware of our return policy..." I am sure the product would have been great but it was never gifted for use.Customer Review: Only works for 3 months!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased my Chi Wet to Dry iron from Discount Jungle online. The iron works great - when it works! After 2 months of minimal use, it started turning off in the middle of my styling for no reason. Discount Jungle gave me a replacement and the same thing happened after 3 months. This time the temperture display would zero out and then it wouldn't turn on at all. Discount Jungle wouldn't replace it and neither would Farouk since I bought it online. It's a shame because it really styled well. I only used it about 2-3 times per week and it was never subjected to any physical abuse. It's just a bad product. My hair sytlist had trouble with hers as well. Try a different iron or at least buy it directly from Farouk so you can use the warranty.Customer Review: My new CHI iron
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the digital temperature setting, as well as the ability to set a timer to turn off the iron. GREAT! I also love the stand and pouch - very cool!
It works great - except it doesn't seem to glide quite as smoothly through your hair at first because there are vent holes in the iron. Once you get used to it, it's fine, and it actually straightens better than my old plain one inch CHI, IMO.
My only addition I would love for this product is for the timer to have an option for a default maximum that is always set, so that it would always turn itself off after say one hour, if you accidentally leave it on.
Other than that - great product, great buy.
