My hairdresser uses it and it is the BOMB. She didn't pay 450 though. She went to a Bronner Brothers hair show at the very end and the FHI booth was trying to unload their last ones. She got it for 150.
The FHI Platform is also listed on Amazon for $284 http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_hpc?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=fhi+runway
Ebay has one for 245 for those interested. I still wouldn't pay out that kind of money, but its wayyy cheaper than 450.

Yes, I think you could get it directly from her. Her website is www.pinkcorset.com. I spoke with the owner, Maribel. I got her number and address directly from FHI. The Fhi iron isn't on her website though. She told me my iron would be here Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. (She ordered it for me). I asked her how she was able to give it to me for such a low price, and she said that it was b/c she sells corsets too. When it gets here, I'll be sure to post an update with a review of her customer service. She asked for a deposit of half the price, which I gave her over the phone so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do the same thing.
Hi there,
Have you received your iron, yet? If so, how is it?
tia,
tishee
Can someone please answer this? Why is this flat iron SOOOOO expensive? Is it magic? Does it straighten by just waving it over your hair like a magic wand? Does it grow your hair while you are using it? I can't seem to find out what it does that is soo different from the others?
Does anyone have this iron? Do tell? What are the results? Show pics. Something...

Sorry Everyone, the name of this post should read, "Why does the FHI RUNWAY cost $450. The FHI Platform is not as expensive.
they're using the fact that it's used by professionals in the modelling world and the 6-layer ceramic plates to sell the iron. it's not enough though, imo.
eta: oh, it also dawned on me that fhi probably aren't banking on your average consumer to buy this iron. it's probably for salon stylists. this kind of iron would put up with a lot of usage for quite a while. so this is a good investments to them.
WOW!!!! If you don't mind my asking, where did you come across a deal like that for $250 that also included the Fhi Nano blowdryer for FREE? My sister is a hair stylist as well and she could sure use a discount like this one and so could I! (I know you bought it 2 years ago, but does that deal still exist?)
Even though I understand all the great technology and what not behind it, I would never buy one. 450 is too much for an iron especially when it isn't the best in terms of heat conduction and distribution.
The only reason it is 450 is because other ceramic iron companies don't have one comparable yet. If Chi, Solia, and Sedu came out with one using the same format, it wouldn't be 450.
You mention that it isn't the best in terms of heat conduction and distribution. Do you know one which is?? I wouldn't mind getting a better one than what I have now. Thanks.
I got my iron back in December and I love it! It works great, only caveat is you have to make sure you clean the plates when they are cool because they are white they show use.

I'll pm you.
