I've been a professional hairdresser for 5 years now and i do chair rental at a local mall. I have been a Diehard Chi supporter for a while but then one day during shift my Original Chi flat iron died on me. I was desperate for a new flat iron, I have appointments booked for the whole day and a flat iron is necessity. I was in panic then I remembered the Kiosk at the mall selling Cortex flat irons, I talked to the sales and told her my situation and I asked her if I can borrow a tester for the day. She happily borrowed it to me and wow i was impressed by the performance of the Cortex Tourmaline flat iron. Firstly the heat up was quick; I was up and running in less than 30 seconds. There were no catching or pulling of the hair, the tourmaline plate just glides right through. The results are silky smooth and really skinny. I was really happy with the results so at the end of the day, I went back to the kiosk and bought myself a cute pink cortex flat iron. I remember paying $139.99 at the mall! Grrrr it's cheaper online! Cortex flat irons are amazing and I would recommend it to everyone.
