Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Let me just say that the DVD included with the Remington S-1051 Sleek n Curl Tstudio iron is worth the price of the tool, itself -and this product is fabulous! The DVD presented the kind of information that stylists pick up at the International Hair Shows in Manhattan. The effects are stunning and the instruction is understandable for the novice, but sophisticated enough for the experienced operator.

I am a retired New York City salon owner. I can honestly say that if I was still in that line of work and had seen this product demonstrated at one of the hair shows, I would have purchased one for every station in my shop -even at a higher price.

If you are in the market for a new styling tool, this one is highly recommended. And because of its versatility, it also makes a wonderful gift for anyone in your circle!

I have wanted a ceramic/tourmaline flat iron for a while. My stylist let me expierament with hers, but it was $140 to buy. So I was looking for one that was a 1" and was contoured on the outside (as this is), so that I could use it to create curls and crimps etc. Having it be ceramic was a MUST, because otherwise, it is just frying and damaging your hair like a curling iron. The ceramic creates the negative ions that close your hairshaft giving it that sleek, no frizz look.

Yes, there are many other similairly priced flat irons on the market, but none of them are ceramic, and meet the other qualifications I was looking for. This is the only one at this price range that has all of these features.

In order to turn it on, you have to hold down the power button for about 5 seconds like you would with many computers or electronic devices. Pushing it and then waiting 5 seconds will not work as the other reviewer stated that she had tried. Also regarding what the first reviewer said, I kept accidentally adjusting the heat with my hand while it was in use, until I read the instruction manual. It states in there, to lock the keys, you just hold down the button for 2 seconds. You do the same thing to unlock it, so you can turn it off. Problem solved.

As with any flat iron, using it takes some practice. But it gives me amazing results and is every bit as good as the ones I've tried that are over $100.00. I have created so many new hairstyles that I could never have achieved with rollers and curling irons and every other product I use. I love being able to do so many new things with my hair. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Over the last year I have tested out several straighteners. This one rates somewhere in between my favorite (Healthy Infusions by Wahl Pro Straightener, 1 1/4") and my least (Remington S9950 Shine Therapy Straightener, 1").

Pros:

~ Left my hair smooth and straight using the highest setting.

~ Outside where you hold the plates closed stayed cool to the touch.

~ The included DVD is great! Both my daughter and I learned several new ways to use our flat irons.

Cons:

~ To get my hair smooth and straight I had to go over each section 2-3 times.

~ Took too long to heat up.

~ The temperature lock worked, but because of the button placement I did end up turning it off a couple times.

Because of my natural curl, I have found some straighteners work very well and others aren't worth my time. This one did do a good job, but the time it took get that result was far too much. I'd recommend the Remington S-1051 Sleek n Curl Tstudio Collection Titanium Straightner with Tourmaline 1" Slim Plates to someone with a slight wave or curl looking to replace or purchase a new straightener and who might benefit from the informative, easy to follow DVD that it comes with.

Honest reviews on Remington S-1051 Sleek n Curl Digital Ceramic Hair Straightener

I got rid of my CHI thinking I should give my hair a vacation from heat, but after deciding I could not live without straightened hair, I wanted to get another iron without spending a lot of money. I decided to buy this one, but it caught a few strands of hair during the first use and it did not get my hair very straight. It just looked like I used the blow dryer to straighten it. Since it made my hair silky I would rate it a 3 star. I ended up taking mine back.

I did my homework and read all the reviews before purchasing this product. There were so many positive comments I decided they outweighed the negative, but have since changed my mind.

I bought this iron to replace an older flat iron, so I have at least one other iron to compare. The only positive things I can say are:

Lightweight

Easy to use

Temperature controls were not a problem for me as in other reviews (perhaps the product has been redesigned)

Drawbacks:

My hair caught in the seams of the plates very badly

I needed a much higher temperature (100 degrees more!!) than my old flat iron to get my hair straightened

Left my hair dry and frizzy

It took me much longer to straighten my hair than with my old iron, requiring a dozen or more passes (and I have soft, easy to straighten hair)

Personally, I found the video rather cheesy, but that's just me

Overall I am very disappointed and will be returning this flat iron.
