I've never used a marcel curling iron before and I've had the chance to test it out a few times so far, but it does take some getting used to.....but I actually like it more. It definitely takes some practice, so be sure to take the time to do a trial run before you do it for real! But the curls are beautiful and they hold! And I've never had a curling iron that actually holds curl in my hair! So, A++ for this curling iron!

Absolutely fantastic PROFESSIONAL curling iron...BUT you need to know what you are doing...There is no tip to hold on to...You can easily burn yourself and fry your hair if you are not used to using this kind of an iron...

I looove it, my only concern is that it takes long to get your curls done cuz if u take a lot of hair it won’t work, u have to do it little by little, but the curls you get are amazing! and also have to be careful because, of course, it’s gonna get really hot

The curling iron is great! Does the trick, it's lightweight and doesn't burn or pull the hair like some others do...Hot Tools is a well trusted brand so I know I’ll get quality curls every time!!
Great investment
