Amazon Verified Purchase
I've only had this flat iron for a little over a week, so I'll be sure to update this review after I've used it a bit more. For now, I just want to say that this is a great little flat iron for shorter hair! The small half-inch plates on this are so different and the way that the tongs fit together really do make them seem like a pair of chopsticks.
I actually bought this after seeing a video on the primary internet video website of someone who used this to curl her short bob into cute spirals. (I'd post the link here, but Amazon usually doesn't allow the posting of internet links; if you check the video site, search for "Chopsticks" and "Pursebuzz.") I bought a 1-inch curling iron last month, but my hair is so short (just about four inches below my ears in the back and only two inches in the front) that that curling iron was too long. The Chopstick iron works perfectly to make cute little waves. The rounded edge creates the curls, and it's been fun to experiment with it to get different shapes and sizes.
Since it is so small, I'd suggest buying a one-inch flat iron if you want to actually straighten your hair, unless you have really short hair, in which case this would be great. I have pretty thick hair, and it would take me forever to use this to straighten my hair, even though my hair is short.
This iron also has a digital temperature gauge, and it heats up to a max of 400, which has been fine for my thick, coarse hair. There is also no "off" switch (or at least no way to turn it off that I can find); once you're done using it, you just unplug it.
The only real negative is that this doesn't come with a pouch or mat to keep it in, so I had to purchase one separately at my local beauty supply store. I had also read reviews of other Metropolis flat irons that said that they come with a sample of their flat iron spray, but this one doesn't come with that either. (I usually use CHI Silk Infusion before blowdrying and then Osis Flat Iron Spray right before using a flat iron.)
Amazon also had the lowest price by far that I'd seen for this iron. I was really nervous about purchasing it since I couldn't find very many on-line reviews of it, but I'm really glad I did. If you have shorter hair, you'll hopefully really like this iron!

This flat iron is great. It heats up really quickly, runs smooth thru the hair without pulling and gives you a nice finish. It just takes too long to do my hair b/c it's so narrow, so I had to return it. I would recommend this product to people with really short or fine/thin hair.
Don't Buy Any Metropolis product, Although it's a great product at first when it starts breaking which it does (I've had it happen a lot with this brand) they have you return defective items at your own expense, no tracking number or papers and when you call on the status they play dumb. Oh we didn't get it, where is your tracker number??? REALLY!! After 2 calls they screen your phone number and wont answer any calls. $150 for a straightener that has broken twice on me is not worth it .... there are other products with better customer service out there, these guys simply dog you till you give up. I don't like to label people but THIEVES comes to mind when I think of their product and service. Don't waste your time and money!
