I purchased these irons and got a notice from Amazon that the actual Farouk company made them aware that the seller was not selling an authentic product. Kudos to Amazon.com for not only notifying me, but refunding ALL of my money. They work ok, but definitely are not a Chi product. However, I got to keep them and they are better than my normal 15.00 flat irons
;-)

My daughter wanted one for Christmas so I ordered one to try out.. I thought I would pass it on if I didn't like it. I love it, and I don't go a day without using it. My hair is dry,thick and wavey. It gives my hair a much softer look.
It took a couple of pratice runs but I really like my new (long lasting) "soft" hair.

I love my CHI
Wouldn't trade it for any other brand
I have been using it for two years and it
is still in impecable condition....and best yet....my hair is looking great.
My daughter and I use it daily and we are both satisfied.
I wish all CHI products would come with an auto shut off system when the iron is not in motion for a set amount of time.
Other than that i absolutely recommend it!!!!

I really love this straightener. It takes me less than 10 minutes to do my hair now, and it comes out looking perfect and feeling like silk. Definately worth every penny. Wouldn't trade it for the world.

I was worried when I got my new Chi due to all the reviews about the fake Chi's being sold. I inspected this one from top to bottom comparing it to my original Chi that I bought probably 6-7 years ago. There were a few differences but when I went to the Farouk website, those changes were visible on their website Chi's so I'm satisfied this is not a fake. When testing it, it heated quickly. It moved through my hair easily while doing a great job with straightening. The only difference that I do not like is that it is a 35W instead of 40W like my old Chi. Also, when Amazon advertises that it is an ionic product it is misleading. No where on the original Chi does it say it is ionic. There is however, an ionic iron made by infraTECH by Chi. It is not this one.
I think this Chi will do fine. I can only hope the product wasn't cheapened and will last as long as my first one. This was bought from Customer First through Amazon. They were very fast in their delivery.

Worked great for about two weeks and then just stopped. Naturally I had already thrown out the box, etc. so I guess I'm just out the money. I knew the price was too good to be true; what a waste.

A FAKE!! I had no idea it was a fake until I returned it to Chi and they told me. It broke within a 8 months. . .

I ordered this item and have had it less than 6 months, the plates are chipping and it is turning black. I had a REAL Chi for 6 years before I had any trouble with it (and the only trouble was the cord). I am truly disappointed with this product that I have been using. It is unfortunate that people are no longer honest and do not say that they are selling an imitation. I may have purchased it anyway even if it was a knock off but they advertised it as the real thing. If you are looking for a good deal on a Chi you'd be better to buy from someone reputable. This seller is not.

i had been using my moms same model chi straightener before it accidentally slammed against the counter top and stopped working a few months ago, and i just had to order the same chi model. It works FANTASTIC! it doesnt pull your hair like other flat irons and it leaves your hair shiny and straight. there is only one setting, off and on but the heat manages to fully straighten my curly hair very well. i flat iron my hair almost everyday and this product does not leave my hair looking gross like other flat irons. also it cuts the time of straightening it works so well. i will never stray away from chi flat irons. deffinitley reccomend this product.

I ordered 2 Chi straighteners from this website, and they originally only sent one. I had to email them again to have the second one sent. Although the product was listed as "new," it is obvious that both straighteners were previously used. (They didn't even come in a full Chi box). The straighteners work just fine, but don't be fooled-these are not brand new.
