So my cortex just got delivered to my mail box yesterday! I ordered it from foilca.com I heard about it through a friend who's older sister bought it from the mall kiosk for 200$ I paid 60$ + 15$ S&H What a steal from folica! The plates glide so smoothly over your hair and keep it straight all day long! But like other straightners, it wont last in misty weather. I love it already and it's just a dream to use. I've only had it for 2 days though. So I should write a review in a few months too.

I never wanted to do my own hair because it took me over 2 hours to do all my hair with the only one I had purchased. I used to pay $25 twice a week to get my hair washed and staightened. I only paidn $70 and it's work the money. It takes me 30 minutes to get my waist lenghth hair straightned. IT IS WONDERFUL

Don't let the other reviews fool you.

After reading the other reviews, many people reviewed the kiosk service rather then reviewing the product. I too tried this in at the kiosk over a year ago, and was amazed by the fast and soft results. I love the different temp settings and it does heat up fast. In comment to the other reviews, I was warned that if you drop the product then it won't heat up fast any more. Mine still heats up in a matter of seconds and stays hot. I highly recommend this flat iron but make sure you get it on here, I originally paid 90 after being told about a student discount.
What a deal from Folica

Wow! I bought this iron 3.5 years ago and it finally broke. I was really happy to look online and see it for only $60 bucks! This is the best iron I have ever had and I have had them all! YAY!
Mall versus Kiosk

You guys dont see what's behind those guys and gals running around you at the mall trying to sell stuff. If not for them you wouldn't even know this product existed. They I am sure paid a big buck to rent that kiosk to promote the product, therefore they need to sell it at the certain price to be able to make any money. No business can exist without making money otherwise it is called non-profit organization.. I bought this iron close to a year ago at the mall and I loved it. The demonstration on my hair left me speechless. Yes, I paid a big buck for it (around $140.00 with a bag) but if not for those guys I wouldnt even know this product existed. I dont have time to spend hours on-line looking for a flat iron as there are millions of them and there is no time to read all these reviews and specifications on each one of them. To tell you about this product: it is better than any other common brand I have ever used that never worked and I would throw them away after a while in disgust. This one gets really hot but if you dont like the high temperature, just turn it down. It also has the safety feature so that it turns itself down when it gets to a highest temperature and turns back on when it starts to cool down. Not that I encourage you to do that but I managed to leave the house for the entire day twice with the iron left on! but thank goodness for this feature: nothing happened! Unfortunately I used it with the gel that was not intended for the iron and I ruined it. And the kiosk at the mall is no longer there I guess it was too pricey to do business at the mall, so I am going to purchase it on line.
Now I feel stupid

OK, I am really P.O.'d I love this straightener. I will tell you my hair is kinky curly and with my Conair straightener it took 2 hours to do and then with any humidity it either frizzes or starts to waive and then curls up. 2 hours down the drain, with the chi it would take my stylist 30-40 min, it was straight however when I would sleep on it, by morning it was curly or frizzy so put a little product on it to tame it and curly again. With this, it takes me 10-15 max min and it is good all day I can sleep on it and then brush through it and it is great. However after the first time using it when I washed my hair it was more curly than ever, I guess my hair had curl withdrawl. So why am I P.O.'d I paid 110.00 for it, thinking that is ab out the same price for a chi and on here it is $60.00, what the hadies!! oh and by the way, with the warranty, I know people that have had trouble with the CHI warranty too, I just am going to be careful, I wipe it down when done, and put it back in the box. I just hope I don't have the physical issues.
greattt :)
