Reviewers choose the Hot Tools Professional Spring Curling Iron more often than any other brand because of its professional quality and affordable price tag. Experts say these curling irons, which are available in eight sizes, are built to withstand daily use by professional stylists. The barrels are coated with 24-karat gold, which reviewers say is an excellent heat conductor but may be more apt to damage to hair than ceramic or tourmaline barrels. Users appreciate the 10 variable heat settings and say curls last all day. Because these curling irons are made for salon use, though, they don't have automatic shutoff, which could be a safety concern. Some users complain that the springs wear out quickly, but Hot Tools now includes two extra springs with each curling iron sold. If you prefer a ceramic curling iron, reviewers say that the Infiniti by Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron (*Est. $25) works well.
We found user reviews at Folica.com, Amazon.com and MakeupAlley.com to be not only plentiful, but also useful in gauging long-term customer satisfaction. A video review by beauty blog PurseBuzz.com, posted on YouTube, shows how to use the curling irons and compares them to other high-end brands.
