After years of buying flat irons,but never parting with the money for a CHI, I'm so glad I eventually did !! This product works really well. I picked the 3/4" as I have short hair, and need to be able to grab small sections of hair and create funky flips, like my sylist does. My stylist uses a CHI and recommended the brand, but the salon sells this model for $135, so the Overstock price is great. It's virtually impossible to burn yourself with this iron, which is amazing, and my hair is so shiny and straight in 1 pass. Would buy another in a heartbeat if this one broke.
