Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This professional-quality hair straightener--with two gold-tone plates that clamp hair between them--employs 170 watts of power to create smooth hairstyles from curly or wavy hair. The plates are full size (3-1/2 by 2 inches), and each has a separate heating system. The plates heat up in just 60 seconds and recover quickly to maintain a constant temperature. Because they're gold plated, they heat better, last longer, and help protect chemically treated hair. There are 10 heat settings from which to select, permitting you to use the straightener for any type of hair, from fine to medium to thick to coarse. The straightener measures 10-1/2 inches long. --Fred Brack

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!, May 24, 2003

This review is from: Revlon RV059 Perfect Heat Professional Full-Size Straightener (Health and Beauty)

As so many others have said already, this straightener is TRASH! I had been on the lookout for a straightener that gets hot enough to straighten my very thick, wavy hair. I've tried them all.

And then I found the Revlon RV059C. It heats up extremely quickly and is super hot. Sure, it caught a few hairs between the plates and ripped them out, but once I learned how to use it, this didn't happen as often. It straightened my hair fast (only took about 10 minutes) and got it silky smooth. I loved it!

Then it broke. The red light wouldn't work, and the plates wouldn't heat up. I kept it going for a while by banging it on the counter to jar the red light, but soon it died for good.

Of course, I thought, it was just this particular one. So I went out and bought a new one which worked beautifully - for about 3 months. Then presto, one plate stopped working. Simply wouldn't heat up.

OK, I thought. This is not the same problem as the last one. Maybe it's a fluke. Maybe I have just had bad luck. Maybe I shouldn't buy another one from the same company. But it's the only straightener I've found that really works! So what do I do? ::STUPID, STUPID:: I buy a new one.

Well, today, about a month later, the red light turned off. I've banged it on the counter, shaken it, switched electrical sockets, pleaded with it. But that infuriating red light refuses to turn on.

So here I sit, fuzzy haired and furious, desperately looking for a new brand. One that is reliable, one that works, one that gets blisteringly hot,one that doesn't break down.

One that is not Revlon.

Any suggestions? Please?

3.0 out of 5 stars You call it perfect... but is it?, July 15, 2002

The Revlon RV059C Perfect Heat Professional Hair Straightener is loved by thousands born with curly hair that thinks the other side has greener grass. This hair straightening tool works so good! It has turned my untameable hair into beautiful hair. I completely depend on this one tool to keep my hair looking good because it is too short to wear curly because it fluffs too much. Sounds like the perfect tool huh? Well it is... if you don't mind having to buy six of them. I am on my sixth purchase of the Revlon RV059C Perfect Heat Professional Straightener! Each one I bought have ended up breaking before I even had it for a month! Suddenly, in the middle of getting ready to go out, it will just stop working completely. Sometime's a plate just stops working, leaving you with another half an hour of straightening your hair. I have been using the Revlon Straightener since Christmas, and I have just gone through my sixth one because they break so easily. I know it has nothing to do with my house because it has broken at two of my friends houses before and now at my dad's house. I just bought this straightener to replace the one that the plate just stopped working, and it hasn't even been two weeks, and it has already broke. I was in the middle of straightening my hair and it just cut off and won't turn back on. Now I don't know what kind of straightener I should buy that will work as good as this one. I am very hesitant on buying my seventh straightener from the same company. By the way, my friend is going on her fourth one. So you decide.. perfect.. or not?

2.0 out of 5 stars RUN AWAY! QUICK!, December 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Revlon RV059 Perfect Heat Professional Full-Size Straightener (Health and Beauty)

I had this straightener for about three monthes before one day, when i see inside the straightener, there are little sparks going off and it smells different, like fire perhaps? Now I'm not an expert, but i knew something was wrong when that started happening so i quickly turned it off. The next day, i wanted to try it but the same thing happened and then suddenly the light went off and it just wouldn't work anymore. It completely burned out. This is a horrible straightener. It also pulls your hair out. If you want a good straightener, I'm afraid you might have to pay a bit more, but it's worth it. The best kinds are Ceramic Tools or Hot Tools and i recommend a ceramic one because its a lot better for your hair. Whatever you do, don't get Conair or Revlon. A good straightener is probably going to cost you over 30 dollars, but you'll be a lot happier, trust me.
