Customer Reviews of CHI Turbo Microchip Ceramic Hairstyling Iron 1"
Customer Review: Buyer Beware!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought one of these for each of my daughters (two total). My daughters knew these were really expensive flatirons and were very careful to not wind the cord around the unit or kink it in any way. After 6 months one of them seemed to acquire a short in the cord and would only work sporadically. No problem, I thought, it's still under warranty. I called Farouk and they REFUSED to honor the warranty stating that I had bought it online and, therefore, that voided out their warranty! The customer service rep said if I would have read the warranty I would have seen this. I pointed out to her that this would have been impossible since I didn't have the warranty to read until I had already bought the product. Her response was that I could have gone to their website and read the warranty before I bought it! Who does that? So, although the product itself is wonderful when it works, I would caution everyone against doing business with this company.Customer Review: CHI-masing

I have used many flat irons before and none have worked, but then I tried my cousin's CHI one day and I was amazed. You don't even get these results in the hair salons (unless you are living the life of Mary-Kate and Ashley). Yesterday I just bought a CHI Turbo 1" and it heated up speedy fast. I just plugged it in and it was already getting really hot. Plus the fact that this has many temperatures. Because of this CHI Turbo, when I went on a date last night, I was running behind and then I realized I forgot to flat iron my hair (forgetting I had my CHI). When I remembered I had one I didn't need to worry, because with CHI.. you can forget.
Also I am 13 years old and you don't get burnt easily. I have only been burnt once behind my ear and I didn't even realize I got burnt until my mom saw the the next day. I wouldn't call it the most safe thing in the world but it is safer than any flat iron I have ever used in my entire life.
Customer Review: Too Hot to Handle
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this straightener through NoCurls on Amazon. After one use, it fried itself and would not light up at all, even after I switched outlets and tried to reset them. It worked pretty decent the one time I tried it but I went against the advice of my friends who told me they had them too and they only worked one or two times before overheating. My ceramic one from Walmart has been working just fine for over a year now.
Oh and I suggest that you DO NOT buy this or anything from NoCurls. They have absolutely terrible customer service. First they wanted to keep 30% of what I paid to restock the defective product. Then they threatened not to refund my money after I had already returned the product because I wrote bad feedback about their customer service. After I removed what I wrote and two months of unreturned emails and waiting for my refund, I finally had to get Amazon to assist me with the refund. Please be aware.
Customer Review: Have been using it for over three years, LOVE IT
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently bought this product for my mom because she, too, has fallen in love with the magic of the CHI. I have been using this tool for over three years, and it works just as well as it did when I first took it out of the box. It makes my hair so sleek and so glossy, everyone always asks me if I've had it done, even though it was only 45 minutes of my own time (I have thick curly hair). It is worth every penny, and it will become an indispensable part of your hair routine. I do not straighten my hair everyday, but I usually straighten my bangs and I see FAR LESS damage to my hair than my friends who use metal straighteners.
I am a proud convert to the cult of CHI, and I can never go back to regular straightening irons. My friends have ceramic ones that work just as well, or better, but my hair stylist used this on me, and I can honestly say that this is my favorite hair straightner.
It's worth it! Love this thing!
Customer Review: Returning this product
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this today, really excited and nervous at the same time. I read all the other reviews and notcied the problems they had, so I made sure to check it before I decided to keep it. The powere light kept flickering and it didn't get up to the highest temp. like it should have. Instead of risking it for this product, I am returning it and purchasing the original in a salon. I haven't heard the same problems with the original CHI and by purchasing it in the salon, I will be covered by the warrenty. It did end up costing more, but it worked right out of the box and it is covered for a year. Make sure you know that the warranty for this product is VOID is purchased online.
I love my new CHI that I bought this evening and definately will not say, "don't buy a CHI at all." I would just be willing to pay a little more and get a valad warranty. It might cost you less in the long run.
