QUESTION FOR: Mzz Mac, Mahoganyjazz, La Mosca, tomnikid3, or anyone else who have received their iron....
Can you confirm if one of your ceramic plates slightly move in/out? The flat ceramic plate, not the steam plate.... the flat plate feels like it has like a spring in it. Mines is slightly moving, so i just wanted to confirm this is the design, and it's not a defect with my iron. I'm noticing that the plates do seal perfectly so perhaps it's designed that way. My sedu didn't seal perfectly, and my FHI barely seals perfectly.

Yes, the bottom plate has a little bit of give and appears to have a spring in it. It seems to be designed that way.

Also, FYI: There is a line of 6 steamholes down the middle of only 1 plate, so i would think that it would be impossible to steamburn your scalp.

I'm too tired to give it a whirl tonight but i'll give it a shot tomorrow morning. Yay!

Yeah - I checked mine v-iron and the bottom flat plate does the same as yours. I am actually glad that it has what you call a "floating" plate. If you look at some flat irons many descriptions they say "floating plates". This is a plus for me!!:yep:
 
Okay-All done!
I just finish v-ironing my hair and I really like this iron....it's a keeper.
I have nooo buyer's remorse whatsoever!.
I was a bad girl and didn't use any heat protectant other than the tressemme that I used before I blow dried.
My hair felt really smooth with each pass, which for 90% of my head, I only used one pass!

This iron is highly recommended! I no longer feel guilty using heat!
Oh this baby has an extended plate which allowed for me to get more hair straightened in less time. Hubby was like.....you done wit yo hair already?
 
i just looked again and it is still on bidding and not buy it now:nono: i hope they fix this cuz i really want to try this iron
 
^^^My contact is out of the office today, but she should be back tomorrow. I did just speak with a customer service representative to inquire about the eBay issue. She didn't really have much information except to say that they do intend to list the iron as a "buy it now" item. (I want to know what the timeline is.) My contact seems to have the most detailed information about this, so I will check back with her tomorrow.
 
^^^^Thank you so much la mosca for putting so much time and energy into this for us!
I really want this iron and I'm getting frustrated it isn't on ebay already!
And some people are really bidding on it.....I REFUSE!

I hear ya! I hope it is "outsiders" bidding on it. I'd hate to see LHCFers getting into bidding wars when they stated they would do a special deal just for LHCFers. And not only that, but they are using the seller name longhaircareforum --come on now!

La Mosca, ditto on the thanks. They oughta give you a lil cut when they do get it together. :D

Yes, I hope no one from our forum is bidding on this iron. I really want them to stand by their word and follow through with this. People aren't going to wait around forever for them to get their act together.

Yep, they've definitely lost the "impulse buy" crowd. I'm actually finding that I'm gradually losing interest too. They've given me too much time to think about it!

I am wondering if this might be some kind of stall tactic because they only have so many irons right now or something and they don't want too many orders coming in that they can't fulfill...just a thought

Yes, that occurred to me. Maybe that's what's going on. I just wish they would be more straightforward about it rather than telling me the issue will be fixed by a certain date and then failing to follow through.
 
I haven't been able to use my iron yet. Everyone coming in wants a rollerset....However, I'm going to use it Sunday (on my hair) for Valentines day!!!!
 
Ladies, I have another update:

I just got off the phone with Salon Source. I am told that eBay will not allow them to list they iron as a "buy it now" item until they have a minimum of five sales by auction. (I haven't independently confirmed this, by the way, but maybe a seasoned eBayer knows whether this sounds right.) For that reason, they have to list the iron as an auction item, but they have tried to make the auction run as quickly as possible to prevent a lot of bidding. I am told that they intend to honor the $99.95 price. I guess this might explain why they have two auctions going right now.

So that is the status. I'm not an eBayer, so I'm not sure what the right course of action is. My guess is that if you're still interested in dealing with Salon Source via eBay, you will want to bid on the iron, but for the minimum bid of $99.95 and no more. If there are subsequent bids that raise the price after you bid, I suppose you should probably communicate with Salon Source from there to make sure you get the iron from them at the agreed-upon price. In any event, based on their representations, the iron should be available as a "buy it now" item after they make five sales.

well if someone bids on it they can make their max bid to be the 99.95 and no more. i wonder if i should just go drive to jc penny and get the fhi platform
thanks for the info
 
No idea why Salon Source cannot simply do phone orders, you quote LHCF and you get the thing for $99.95 plus P + P!!!!??!! Anyway, I am in the UK so I cannot use it, its just sad that something like selling these things cannot be simple.

Yes, I have no clue why they are making it so complicated. Well, I did my best . . .
 
Just for consistency sake, I asked them on Ebay about this deal: Here is the response I received:

"Dear natieya,

We apologize for not having the "buy it now" option. We set up
a special ebay account just for longhaircareforum, but since it is
new ebay won't allow us to add the buy it now option until we
have 4 positive feedbacks. We have the item available for bid at
99.95 (which is really low). The suggested price is $169. You
are welcome to bid and you will probably ay very close to the
$100 price. The kit includes a 3 oz treatment. After that you
can buy a 10 oz for about $16"

- longhaircareforum

So, it looks like they are telling the truth (or at least keeping their story straight). I may buy one once they reach their 4 feedbacks. We'll see. :)

Thanks again, la mosca, for all your hard work with this. :)

 
I did a buy it now from "backstagebrittany." The seller had a long list of good ratings, so I hope it works out.
 
Darn this thread. :wallbash: I was just about to buy a maxiglide now I'm all confused. I never even tried Joico products but that whole vaporfuel things sound tempting. I don't think I ever owned a flat-iron with a floating plate either. This is a hard decision to make. PS I'm a natural who has recently come from heat-damage anonymous counseling.
 
do you think that I could purchase a Maxiglide and use it with the liquid used with the Joico Iron? On ebay, the only Kpak flat iron I found was 179.99 which is too expensive for me
 
Just writing a quick post to thank La Mosca for working on this, regardless of the outcome of the eBay offering!

Have a wonderful weekend!
 
^^^Yea, that was only a temporary promo. I think it ended 1-2 days after that was posted.

I see they have 2 more irons up that have been bid on. Remember you ladies need to post your reviews (hopefully positive) so they can hurry up and do the Buy it Now option! Please & thank you! :grin:
 
I am so glad I got this iron.I did my hair with it last night.I havent relaxed since October.I have never used a flat iron that makes my hair feel moisturized/healthy afterwards.I was able to wrap my hair!I lost hair throughout the whole wash/detangle,blowdry phase...but none for flat ironing!
