HOT TOOLSPro Artist 24K Gold Marcel Iron | Long Lasting Curls, Waves (3/4 in)

Works great, heats up fast, very durable. The last one I bought lasted 15 years. The cord is a great length. Curls beautifully, my hair holds a curl for days. Classic design

This is a great item for anyone wanting to add curl to their hair. Easy to manage. Heats up quickly

Exactly what I wanted. Not easy to find as most have a clamp which I dislike.

I was so excited to get this curling iron it works so good it amazing like it works miracles because my hair will not hold a curl for nothing and I get curled hair i have to make sure that the curls are cooldown before I run my fingers through my hair this curling iron take a little practice to get to use it but once you get the hang of doing it is really easy the reason it takes practice is because this curling iron doesn’t have a spring to hold the bar down you have to use it almost like you were using chop sticks lol

I bought this curler after using a similar style one at a friend's house. I was overall impressed with the quality of the curler. It heats quickly and maintains its temperature consistently. The setup of the handle and the rotating feature do take some getting used to, but I found that once I adjusted it was actually a far superior way of wrapping my hair onto the iron that saved a good deal of wrist strain. My hair held the curl well and I found the total process took less time once I got used to the handle design. I've owned a few more expensive curling irons and found that this one held up well in comparison. The only con I've found is that the heavier handle can sometimes make balancing the iron on the built-in rest a little precarious. This was easily solved with the use of a silicone mat under the iron so that when it did tip my counter tops were not damaged. The cord is a good length and allows for easy reach for all parts of my hair. I've recommended this iron to a few friends, who also report enjoying the design. I opted for a smaller diameter iron than I usually do because I was finding that my curls were softening a lot as the day went on. Using a smaller diameter solved this issue, as the tighter curls softened to my preferred look as my hair cooled.

I couldn't be happier! It's been years since I have had curls. Ever since I became a mom (13 yrs. now), it was one of those things I just didn't have time for. To make things worse I have your typical Asian, straight, difficult to curl hair. When I did curl it, I remember the days I sat at my dressing table FOREVER... propping my elbow on table, waiting....and waiting for each curl to form with the curling iron. I just remember it being a grueling process and then became disappointed 1/2 way thru the day when my curls turned limp and lifeless.Now that kids are older, I figured it was time for change and missed my curls. I did some research, for I still didn't want to spend much time on my hair. Thanks to amazon reviews and YouTube I thought I'd give the Marcel a try. I was a little hestitant since this did not have your regular spring load clip, but after a week of daily use I got the hang of it. Just like many reviews stated, I agreed to practice w/o iron turned on. Manuevering clip manually can be awkward at 1st...but like everything else...practice makes perfect. I have medium length (just past my shoulder blades) and have a lot of it. I've had my Marcel about a month now and it takes me not even 15 minutes to curl all my hair...no kidding!!!! Best thing is that my curls last all day long. Now I am one that washes my hair on a daily basis, but if I didn't, I could wake up the next day, run my fingers thru my hair and could go another day with only doing a minor touch up to my bangs. Lastly, this iron gets VERY hot, so be careful! Be sure to use a thermal proctectant spray. I picked the Tresseme brand just because it had good reviews too. I will wait to compare w/ different brand once that is gone (1/4 bottle left).

Second one and still have issues. Back in April I purchased one and only used it once, I got a replacement. The second one was the same issue. Used it once and stopped working. I. Have. NEVER had any issue like this before.

Excellent produce!!!
