(More customer reviews)There is no need to pay the $300 (or whatever price you can negotiate for this) at the Jose Eber Kiosk in the malls. They use high pressure sales tactics telling you that Amazon and other companies who sell this are most likely selling refurbished or second hand products. If you do your homework you will find that companies such as Dead Sea who sells on Amazon are authorized distributors of the products. If you buy from the Jose Eber Kiosk you WILL get the EXACT same product for 7 times the price you should have paid. They do offer a lifetime warranty but keep in mind you would have to break your flat iron 7 times to make up the difference in price. Make sure to tell anyone you know looking for a flat iron NOT to buy this iron from the kiosk.
Okay, so onto to review the actual iron. My hair is coarse and naturally curly but not in a neat way that makes it easy to wear curly hair, so I like to straighten it. Typically I use the Chi, which works the best on my hair and I also like the Babyliss line. Both of these flat irons are a bit pricey but work and not all flat irons work. Here are the highlights of the Jose Eber iron:
It leaves my hair very shiny sleek and smooth looking
It doesn't break off my hair like the Chi tends to do
The comb that comes with it is amazing...and maybe why I like the iron (haven't tried the comb with the Chi)
The wet to dry works but it makes my hair poker straight with no body at all so I never use. I blow dry to add volume but have used it on damp hair. Also with the wet to dry feature, it takes a lot longer than blow drying as the wetter your hair the more times you have to pull the iron through it to get it dry. My hair is thick and this was a long process and I didn't like the results.
The curling part is difficult to get the hang of but works if you can figure it out (I can't consistently do it). Again, the comb is the key here as the comb grips the hair tightly and the flat iron doesn't have a tight grip on the hair. This is something that is easier to do on someone else than to do on yourself.
All and all I am very happy with the flat iron and super happy with the comb. The comb is not high quality material so I am concerned about how long it will hold up and I think it is a staple to liking this flat iron. I was one of the unfortunate people who got pressured into buying this at a mall Kiosk and have told all my friends to buy it from Amazon. Those who have all had great experiences and received the exact same BRAND NEW flat iron that I paid 7 times as much for.
