Customer Reviews of Hot Tools 2 " Professional Crimper (#1191)
Customer Review: Several Cons - but I'm keeping the crimper
Summary: 2 Stars
1. I purchased this a few weeks ago for $27.50. Now I see the price has gone down to $21.50. However, I got free amazon shipping and that appears to no longer be an option, so I guess everything evens out.
2. As at least one other reviewer said, this does SEEM to burn your hair. In contrast, I use a 3-barrel iron that will blister my skin with one split-second slip, and yet I can leave it in my hair for 45 seconds with no burning smell. It makes me wonder - is there some kind of coating on this crimper that creates the burning smell, and I only THINK it's burnt hair? The second time I used it, my hair smelled burnt all day. I was afraid that when I washed the crimps out I would discover that my hair was totally damaged - but to my surprise it appeared OK. I do have some breakage but I can't be sure it was the crimper.
3. As another reviewer said, the metal plates are not covered on the sides, and so you can easily burn your scalp when crimping close to your head. Since the sides of the crimper don't actually crimp your hair, why aren't they covered in the black protective stuff? I see this as something the manufacturer might want to correct. Which leads me to #4...
4. Don't expect this to stand straight on your bathroom counter top - it won't. It will roll onto its side where the hot metal plates are exposed and possibly burn that too.
5. I'm not real fond of handle, having to push and hold it hard to close the crimper. I think I'd prefer the style where the whole thing opens and closes like a straightening iron does. This crimper makes my hand/thumb ache after only a short time.
6. Despite all the things I would change about this iron, I like the crimps, and I get compliments when I use it. Would I get this crimper again? No. But I'd still get a crimper - this is my first, and it's a fun style.
I hope this helps all crimpers-to-be in the world :)
