No but Ive seen the in store signs. They look nice but they have heat controls, the chi doesnt. Makes me wonder... Hmmmm

 

[Natural Glow]

I have one of these. I love it. I've never used a real Chi so I can't compare the two but the Generic one works well for me. That Chi was just too much $$ for my blood.

 

[Prodigee19]

Thanks ladies, I think I may get one of these, I don't want to spend a lot of money if these work fine.

 

[Hair2Dye4]

I have that exact one (pink and all). I actually like it better than the CHI because of the temp control. I've done a friend's hair with her CHI and didn't like it as much as my bootleg. It's been going hard for over a year now with no probs, too.

Yup I got it in my email, and all them colors are nice tho for $59.99 But I'm not keen on purchasing one of those since I've heard sooo much about the REAL CHI and the Maxiglide, I'd hate to throw my money on one of these and they're nothing like the real thang. But if several gave a favorable review on it and the real one and it's pretty much just like the real one or EVEN better, then that could be the deal breaker for me, since I'm more interested in a CHI right now.

i got mine over three months ago for like 20 something dollars. it works extreemely good but then again i dont use it too often.

 

[KaramelDiva1978]

I have this one too, probably almost 2 years now. I like it also b/c of the temp control. I never used a real CHI, so I don't have much to compare it too. But the price and simplicity was a real attraction.

You know too, you can always return electrical items to Sally's in 30 days or less, so you can try after you buy and return for a full refund.

I just purchased this flat iron tonight. I was really anxious to test it so I did on a few of the curls from my strawset and I'm not disappointed. Now I really can't compare it to the real CHI, but in my opinion it does a great job for the price!

Before I get one of those "need pics" icons I'll add one or two below.

 

[cicilypayne]

I'm considering it

 

[MsAngie]

I have one, and it works great; I haven't tried a CHI, though.

I was considering getting this iron but lucked out and got the FHI for $61.75 at frizyy2silky.com The colors are really cute though.

I have one of these. I love it. I've never used a real Chi so I can't compare the two but the Generic one works well for me. That Chi was just too much $$ for my blood.

Ditto. Best straightening iron for the price.

I have one myself...and what sold me on the product, just like other members stated, was the temperature control (I like this notion since my hair is fine)...I love the product...Currently, I just am trying to find ways to extend how long my hair lasts when it's straightened...
