{Request} GHD Straightener

Cassiel

Hi All,
Yikes! Xmas gift purchase and the best I can find one at is €150. Hoping they can be got cheaper? Online purchase is excluded from my quest. So Dublin or nationwide or possibly up North as well.

Thanks in advance.

150 sounds pretty good if you are not/can't buy online. I bought some online for my girlfriend's birthday and they were in and around that price....

Kodo Straightener's are the exact same (same shape & heat to 210 degree celsius aswell) but a few yoyo's cheaper than the GHD's.. I bought mine at cost price for €80 a few months back. Just found one here http://www.ukhairdressers.com/store/details.asp?df=7276&ID=ko300V&fgg=6373
for €93 plus delivery

Edited: Oops sorry i didn't see the part of your post that said no online stores! Have a look for the Kodo anyway..

I know GHD's are the brand name, but they're ridiculously expensive. I bought a pair of remington ceramics in Roches a while ago for E35 and I find them excellent. And my hair is fairly thick and wiry, in other words quite hard to straighten

there are some half price deals on hair straighteners in Argos, was in there today and they had an Andrew Collinge one that was 125 for 65 euro so might be worth looking at. seems to have tons on offer in Argos 205 off toys as well!

I also have those. I had really expensive straighteners before that I was very disappointed with but stuck with them because of the price. But having read so many good reviews of the Remington Power Ceramic straighteners on handbag.com and elsewhere, I decided to buy them when I saw them in Roches. They are extremely good, now the trick is avoiding temptation to straighten every single day!!

I bought one for my girlfriend on www.hair-care.co.uk for £89, which is roughly €130, they delivered in about 3 days

Edit: Just saw the online exclusion too, sorry

KODO are brilliant, just as good if not better than GHD. Go to terri sales (hairdressers wholesalers) on Abbey Street (beside Supermacs). You will get a good and cheap one there.

HQ Hair cost about 120 with delivery, within 7 days!

I bought the ex a GHD last year and the stupid thing melted. just my 2c.

I bought one last year for my GF from ghdonline.co.uk.

Cost €140 including postage if I remember correctly plus it came with bottles of official GHD "stuff" (as if I know what it is!).

Very efficient service - shipped from NI within 2 days.

I just bought a set from www.hqhair.com - it's a UK site. The GHD's were €118, the shipping was €5 and I got them within 5 working days. Now I'm entirely addicted them and keep finding excuses to straighten my hair!!

Compared with €155 in Peter Mark, it's a steal.

I also had Babyliss professional ceramic straighteners which I bought from a hair product wholesalers....allegedly they're good enough for salon use but they aren't a patch on GHDs. You'd never get that bone-straight hair with straight ends etc from them. Go for the GHDs!!!!!

Boots has the remington ceramic straigteners for 42 for the 2X and 32 for the other remington ceramics . I was going to get GHDs but checked up on Reviewcentre.com and the remingtons got a better write up -also have a 3 yr guarantee which is good Im happy with them

Got the GHD for my better half two years ago in Peter Mark's for €155 - ouch! There were no alternatives back then, she had to have the GHD

The damn thing broke down a year later, just before the warranty was finished. Peter Mark's replaced it with a brand new one, no questions asked

Presumably if your willing to wait until the sales these guys will drop in price, even if only temp? Or do girls beauty products get exclusion from this kinda thing?!

Hi All,
Many thanks for the help! Decided to buy it online from HQhair - many thanks for highlighting this site BTW. Getting close to Xmas but, if you are into Pigsback.com then they have a promotion linked with HQhair it is something like 7 piggies for every € spent.

Happy Xmas!

What about a pair of Remington Wet 2 Straights? They're a bit cheaper than GHD's and ya can use it on wet hair.
