Joico Kpak New steam Iron

⏳ Limited Access:

Register today to view all forum posts.

I used mine for the first time this morning, and it is all that I hoped it would be. My hair is smooth, soft, and moist. I got all the way to my roots, and I swear it looks like I went to a shop and got it done. I am very happy with my Vapor Iron, it is by far the best flat iron I've ever used. :grin: I used about 3/4 of the what I filled the reserve with, and the steam was subtle.

ETA: Oh, I washed my hair last night, and then applied L'Occitane Repairing Shine Mask and washed it out after about 30 minutes. I applied Phillip B. Lovin Leave In Conditioner, and a tad bit of Seyani Butter, and then blow dried about 80%. I wrapped my hair up over night, and then used the Vapor Iron this morning.
:love: your hair!!! Getting this iron is so tempting....:spinning:

You are talking my language when you mentioned L'Occitane Repairing Shine Mask....that stuff is the best stuff I have ever used....EVER!!!
 
I bet in a few months time it will be cheaper and all sorts of coupons will come out, those that are not in a hurry should wait it out imo.
 
It's been 2 days since I used the iron, and my hair looks and feels like it did right after I used it. I've wrapped my hair up, and when I comb it down I didn't have as much breakage or shedding as I normally would. By now my hair would also start to look and feel dryer.

thanks for the update.

Mine felt similar along down the line. Today was the first day I woke up kinda dry and frizzy. That's about 5 days of good stuff.
 
i'm glad no one is bidding on the iron.do they really think we would buy it still, knowing that others got it for 40 bucks cheaper + received and extra larger refill? yeaaaaaaaaaa right! I hope we can find another distributor.

I hope no one else is supporting these thieves...really?!?! I was considering buying one until they pulled that stunt!

This iron will be like CHI,FHI, etc in a few months...u will be able to purchase it anywhere - Ulta, Trade Secret, and there will probably be a gang of them on Ebay soon enough...and reasonably priced without all of the gouging

Yeah...SalonSource dropped the ball on this one!

I am beyond aggravated with Salon Source. I mean, come on: after getting feedback on eBay from four people, they up and list the iron for $139???

At the moment, they don't have any items listed. In any event, I wouldn't deal with them any further.

Well it's great that you were able to purchase it before they realized they what kind of commodity they had on their hands...

I bet it will be great for this Houston humidity!!
 
i will wait a year until they flood ebay. I have a perfectly working chi turbo anyway. I will just up my conditioning and pre-striaghtening routine until i can get my hands one. I just had my hopes up you kno?
 
I got mine from Backstage Brittany. Right now she only has HAI flat irons up for bid. Perhaps she will have more. She's got good ratings and the price was 99.95.
 
^^^Just FYI, I am almost certain that this "backstagebrittany" eBay seller is an affiliate of Salon Source. When I was in initial talks with Salon Source about the LHCF discount, I was told that backstagebrittany.com was their retail sales website.
 
Mahogany Jazz thank you SO much for your update. I am really wanting this iron BAD because my raggedy little Infiniti is on its last legs. *sigh*

I refuse to pay $139 though. I'm going to hold out as long as I can with this Infiniti and see if the price comes down.

If so, then they are up to something hinky, because that BSB has almost 900, 100 percent rating. No reason to "wait" to buy it now. And, like I said, I paid 99.95.

Oh yes, I definitely call shenanigans. The only reason I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt is because they claimed they were going to give our members a special discount through the new seller they created for that purpose.

I see. Well they are just weird. Hopefully they will have to eat those irons until the price comes down.
 
Awww. you brought me down from my buzz. I wanted this but I had a bad time with Joico's Smoothing Balm. Gave me serious poof and frizz when I was trying to be straight that week.

No! No party-poopers!!

:lol:

Why did I JUST see these posts? :lachen: I hadn't been checking back on this thread. Sorry, ladies! Well, I'm only half-way through reading the thread, but everyone seems happy with the iron.

As always, Happy Hair Growing! :grin:

ETA: oh wow, that sucks about Salon Source...

So, I did a little investigating for you ladies without a Vapor Iron, and I came up with a company called Beauty Systems with a price of $109. I tried searching for a website for them, and I came up with CosmoProf. There's one in my city, and I know for a fact you have to have a license to even get in the door! However, I called the number and the rep didn't ask if I was licensed at all.

Beauty Systems

I pray you all have better luck with this company. Also, if they don't ask about a license, I wouldn't tell.

I'm soo tempted or call and order one!
 
I used the iron this past weekend. Since I have fine hair, I do not like to flat iron my hair supper straight. The iron left my hair feeling soft and full unlike some irons that take away all of the body from my hair. The iron is a little bigger then most, but very well built, the outside plates get a little warm, but other then that I'm happy with it!

Here are my pic's

The first two pic's are blowdried hair the last two are flatiron results!
