Well the one I have that cost me no more than 30 bucks doesn't want to heat up anymore. So I was looking for a new one. I saw some that are well over a hundred bucks. Can anyone tell me why some are so expensive and is it worth it buying a more expensive one? |

Usually you're paying for tourmaline or full ceramic plates, and more control over tempature. Durability is implied, but like anything else, these irons break. My Solia was $105 when I bought it about this time last year (it's $88 now) and it's been a great iron. The only thing I've noticed is that some of the blue "ceramic" is chipping, but Folica.com gave me an extended warranty that I will be taking advantage of. One big difference between my store-boughts and professional irons is perception. The professional irons feel heavier and give you a different impression than say, a Conair. It's a mind thing. ------------- Make every day you have count, before the time comes for you to count every day you have. |
But on the whole, you'll probably find that most people get better results with professional irons, and therefore gladly pay more for them.Posted By: gossipqueen

| I had been looking for a good flat iron for a long time. i bought this really expensive one from a salon and it burned a part of my hair so in a rage i took it back even though i wasnt allowed to return it and got my money back anyway! but then i tried a flat iron that my cousin bought when she went to new york. I tried it and it worked wonders. I have thick long hair with tight ringlet curls when wet. This flat iron called REMINGTON WET TO STRAIGHT worked wonders on my hair. its so straight it doesnt even frizz in humidity. It was only about 39 dollars i had to order it since i live in canada but it was well worth it. saves a lot of time! |
