Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.

This salon performance hair straightener releases conditioning steam to hydrate and protect the hair while straightening, producing sleek, smooth, high-shine results that last. Wide diamond-ceramic coated plates and removable detangling combs provide thorough smoothing in a single pass. Ionic technology helps control frizz and enhance shine. The tool offers five digital heat settings from 150°C to 230°C and features an Advanced Ceramics™ heating system that maintains consistent high heat on every section for salon-quality results.

Advantages

The straightener hydrates hair with conditioning steam, reducing dryness during styling. Wide diamond-ceramic plates and detachable combs enable faster, more efficient smoothing in one pass. Ionic technology reduces frizz and increases shine. Digital temperature control with five settings and the Advanced Ceramics™ system ensure stable, even heat for predictable results.

Key specifications

  • Conditioning steam for hydration and protection
  • Wide diamond-ceramic coated plates
  • Removable detangling combs
  • Ionic technology to control frizz and add shine
  • 5 digital heat settings: 150°C – 230°C
  • Advanced Ceramics™ heating system for consistent heat

How to use

Fill the steam reservoir if required and switch the straightener on. Select the desired temperature between 150°C and 230°C using the digital controls according to hair type and condition. Work on clean, towel-dried or dry hair in sections, running the tool slowly from roots to ends; use the removable detangling combs to help guide hair and achieve a smooth finish. Allow hair to cool briefly after styling and apply a suitable finishing product if desired.

Recommendations

For best results, choose a lower temperature for fine or damaged hair and higher settings for thick or coarse hair. Use heat protection products before styling and rinse the steam system according to the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
