Remington S1051 Salon Quality, Professional Ceramic Hair Straightener Review

Remington S1051 Salon Quality, Professional Ceramic Hair Straightener

I have used several straighteners over the past 5 years or so, mostly on sets. I love my CHI, and this product seems aimed at that market.
The package is nice, with a nice unisex design,and can be used for storage. The unit heats up quite quickly- plenty of heat in 20-30 seconds.
A HUGE plus for me is the digital display of the temp - I like this a LOT, because I truly don't want or need the 420 degree super hot salon setting for my reasonably short hair!
The one inch size is perfect for me, and quite easy to use. I would imagine most guys and ladies with medium to short hair would also find this to be just perfect.
I am not an expert but I dont think it (the size) would be ideal for those with longer curly hair- it would work, but might be rather time consuming-better to get a wider unit.
As for ease of use, it took me perhaps 2 minutes to get the look I wanted. It was quite easy to get to the scalp without any burning or 'the sizzle effect' which is never a good thing.
Quality control was great, as the plates fit exactly as designed ( on some inferior units they dont) and all the buttons functioned with ease. This seems to truly be a top-quality unit.
Instructions are minimal, and rather oddly printed on newsprint(considering the rather deluxe presentation of the box) - they assume you know what you are doing if you buy this one!
What I loved was the temp control and LCD display you just hit "+" or "-" to adjust the temp! In this respect it wins over my trusty CHI.
After using it this morning, my hair stayed in order all day -and it was HUMID here! no touch-up required. I first used it at 645am,and as I write this it is 745pm - still looking great.
The cord is a bit shorter at 6ft, which I like as well. It has a burst of heat function (turbo) that worked well too. For those that travel it has dual voltage, which is also nice and unexpected at this price level.
AND... because no review ( from me anyway) would be complete without some strange multi-use of a product- YES the Remington WILL put a crease in your pants and give a shirt sleeve a razor sharp press as well.
( what can I say, learned that wardrobe people on a show...!)
Aside from that unintended use, I do give this five stars for ease of use , high-end packaging, and the ability to select the perfect temp for your hair.
Were I not to know, I would have assumed this unit would be in the $80-100 range, if not a bit more.
I am very pleased, and to tell the truth, did not think I would like it this much. A real winner! Give this one a try.

Remington Ac2015 Tstudio Salon Collection Pearl Ceramic Hair Dryer Review

I've used inexpensive blow-dryers for decades (my two most recent are a Conair Ionic Cord-keeper and a compact Vidal Sassoon, both 1875 watts) but upon using this model, I'm a convert to you-get-what-you-pay-for.
This Remington is the standard professional shape (not collapsible), with the standard heat options (cool, warm, hot; plus a button for a burst of cold), airflow options (medium and high; the enclosed concentrator and diffuser can be attached to further customize the airflow), and 1875 watts.
But that's the end of "standard." This model is slightly heavier than my other dryers, the weight being a sturdier motor that's warranted for 4 years. The motor makes it the first dryer with enough oomph that I can hold it the recommended 8-inches away from my head and still get great heat and airflow to my hair. (And it's the first time the tips of my thumb and index finger are healing; they were constantly dry and cracked from needing to hold my old blow-dryers too close to my hand that holds the styling brush.) It has a fabulous surface -- a sort of velvety-smooth composite that creates just the slightest bit of drag so the dryer doesn't slide around or off a countertop. And the best? It's the quietest blow-dryer I've heard, made even better by a pitch that's low and whooshy, not high and whiney. Oh-so-highly recommended!

Conair Ceramic Straightener, 2 Inch Review

Conair Ceramic Straightener, 2 Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
ConAir's last flat iron was a big fat lemon. I loathed it so much, I refused to buy another one by this company. I went out and spent about eighty bucks for a HAI straighter instead. It's worth every penny, believe you me. But then I tried ConAir's new ceramic straightener. And man, was I floored.
I had to borrow a friend's, since I'd left mine at home. What a surprise! Heats up quickly, and hair glides smoothly past the plates, leaving hair not only straight, but shiny. I had gone to sleep with just-from-the-shower wet hair and woke up with a horrible resmeblance to some feathery 70's boufant do. A sweep over with the Conair ceramic flat iron left me with soft, shiny and straight hair in less than 15 minutes. I've had nothing but frizzy trouble since moving to SW Florida, and my hair refuses to go flat without the use of a good flat iron. I'm happy to say this particular ConAir flat iron makes up for a multitude of past sins, and doesn't put a dent in your budget. Comes with 2 brush attachments that slide on the side of the plates. Also features a "power" and "turbo power" button, which I can only assume means "turbo" is volcano-like hot, which is exactly what it felt like.

Vidal Sassoon Sable Professional Hair Straightener Review

This product was a complete waste of money. It did nothing for my hair except pull it. Also, it took more than 30 MINUTES to heat up and even then it was NOT hot at all. Plus, when I used it, there was an awful and strong smell. Do not buy this product even to try it out. You will be disappointed. Instead, buy the Remington Wet to Dry for only $24 bucks from Target. Now thats an amazing product. Much better than this piece of crap!!

Remington Short Cut Clipper Rechargeable, Cordless, Haircut Kit Review

Remington Short Cut Clipper Rechargeable, Cordless, Haircut Kit
Average Reviews:

Alas, the days of needing to go to a hair stylist - or even needing a comb - are long gone for me. I've been cutting my hair at home for years since I don't see the point in paying someone to cut what little I have left. I've used traditional clippers and they work well, but it's almost impossible to cut your own hair using regular clippers - you need someone to help, especially on the back of your head.
The Shortcut trimmer solves that problem perfectly. It's no harder to use than a brush. Just adjust the setting to the length you want, then move it slowly across your head.
It comes with two types of guides. One is for traditional hair cutting. The other is for shaving your head bald (or very, very close). You have to use the correct guide if you expect to get good results. The reviewer who had a problem with this clearly was using the incorrect guide. The manual explains this - always pays to take a minute to read the manual before using a product.
Very easy to clean. The blades are washable (although the unit itself is not) or you can just brush out the hair with the cleaning brush. Not too loud - about the same as a conventional hair clipper.
You get the best results if you cut just a bit at a time. For example, if you want to end up with 1/4 inch hair, start at the highest setting. After making a few passes , dial it down one notch. Repeat until you're at the length you want. Once you have your hair at the length you want, you can do a touch-up trim once a week to keep it at that length. Now that I have the hang of it, it takes me about 5 min to give myself a haircut.
It also has a trimmer for sideburns and around your ears. It cuts well, but it can be a bit unwieldy to use around the ears. I have a smaller trimmer that I use for that. The trimmer on the Shortcut does do a good job on sideburns.
So, with the caveat that you need to learn how to use it correctly, this is a fantastic product. Highly recommend.
