Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Watch out for counterfeit on Amazon???! Or a lemon? NOTE: I gave 4 stars in respect to the real Babyliss straightener. Not this dud I received. Received mine today. The box looked legit but upon opening, I noticed that there were scratches and marks on it off the bat. The top has unfinished plastic cut. Not only is workmanship sloppy, it is not the standard of profession warranted by Babyliss Pro. (picture uploaded to Amazon) I shared one with my roommate back in university for a couple of years. The texture of a legit Babyliss straightener glides on hair smoothly, leaves hair soft and smooth, heats up instantly, and you see results within minutes. My roommate has it for 5 years now and it is working in top-notch condition as the day she received it. The one I received DID not do any of the above. It straightens but it is comparable to a cheap straightener from a drug store. My hair is left somewhat straight and rough. The straightener is VERY light and feels all plastic! (Granted, Babyliss straighteners are light but it doesn't feel cheap) The power cord is also loose (i.e, in the future it is very likely to not transmit not enough power to the straightener) Anyway, I am not gonna leave the seller's name bc Idk if they know of it or not...so please, inspect yours upon arrival. Real Babyliss straightener heats up in ~30 seconds and your hair should be smooth and completely straighten. It DOES NOT take several glides to get a section straight (Mine was set at '45' which confirms my suspicions)
