Yes, I think you could get it directly from her. Her website is www.pinkcorset.com. I spoke with the owner, Maribel. I got her number and address directly from FHI. The Fhi iron isn't on her website though. She told me my iron would be here Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. (She ordered it for me). I asked her how she was able to give it to me for such a low price, and she said that it was b/c she sells corsets too. When it gets here, I'll be sure to post an update with a review of her customer service. She asked for a deposit of half the price, which I gave her over the phone so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do the same thing. :yep:

Thank you so much for this info! I was going to hold off on getting this but I might be able to do it sooner now. :)

Ladies, after you get yours and use them can you please post results or a review? I would love to hear how you like them.:yep:

I just got off the phone with her. She told me the same thing. Apparently the ladies on here have overwhelmed her with orders. She got in a shipment of Runways last week, and they are GONE already. She added mine to the waiting list. So all we can do is wait. I will update when she calls me back.

:yawn:

Dang, ya'll don't play!!!!!!! :lol: She need to give me commission for hooking her up! :lol:
 
Re: Why does the FHI PLATFORM cost $450??!!

I just talked to Maribel. She told me the same thing. She wasn't able to get her whole shipment in b/c they are sold out. I'll have to wait until December to get mine. I don't mind. It will be a Xmas present, instead of a birthday present. :yep:

Wow, there's a waiting list now!:blush:

Yep there is a definite waiting list:lachen:. But she is the only person that will sell it to us for wholesale price (without having to take a risk and order it from an unknown retailer). All the ATL folks wanted to charge me $400 and up, so I will gladly wait patiently:grin:
 
Re: Why does the FHI PLATFORM cost $450??!!

Anyone get their iron yet from Maribel?

Anyone else got the Runway recently and want to update us on its performance?

No one is getting an iron until December. That's basically what she told me. Her supplier will not have any until this time.
 
Re: Why does the FHI PLATFORM cost $450??!!

So um...who purchased their iron yet?:look: I know I'm patiently waiting till December, I knew I had to order it since I was informed that a large number of ladies from a "hair site" were ordering them up:giggle:
 
Re: Why does the FHI PLATFORM cost $450??!!

I have the FHI Runway- and I paid 450. It was one of my first purchases after becoming addicted to this site. :grin:

Like a lot of ladies, I RARELY flatiron or use any heat. However, at the time of purchase, I owned a 20.00 Gold n' hot "ceramic" :rolleyes: flatiron and the coated plates were turning brown. I decided since I became a member of this site that if I want to achieve my hair goals and be as independent as I can from a stylist, I was gonna have to up my game on some salon quality products. :yep:

I'm not talking down about Sedu, CHI, or Solia. I've never used any of them. I know they have good reputations and I hear very good results from other members, but I know that some of those BSS flat irons are not up to par. :perplexed

I did a lot of research and was also impressed with the site infromation. No other flatiron company broke it down like that (except for the Maxiglide). Besides, if I'm going to own a flatiron, I decided why not buy one that will last and provide the healthiest heat for my hair?

People are concerned about the cost but I don't see it being any different than people who use some super pricey Pibbs dryers. 450.00 may be a lot but I just can't bring myself to getting one of those bad boys yet.... :nono:

Sidenote: I also own a Maxiglide/Miniglide and I :love: IT!!! BUT I think it really doesn't count as a "flatiron" because of the detangling pins. I can get my hair done in half the time it takes to flatiron but nothing gets the roots super straight IMO quite like a quality flat iron. HTH

Sorry for being long winded- I've been AWOL lately. Miss you guys...

Re: Why does the FHI PLATFORM cost $450??!!

Yeah that runway edition is $450.00 , thats there highest one, they have a little video on the FHI Heat site on it, but I'm happy with my pink one that I paid 120 dollars for :yep: . I aint gone buy that 450 dollar one when my 120 dollar pink FHI one do the same as the runway FHI. The platform ones is around 195 dollars, the runway one is around the 450.
 
Re: Why does the FHI PLATFORM cost $450??!!

It is AWESOME on new growth! I went to a hairdresser yesterday and she used it on my nearly 4-months worth and it was a miracle tool. I've been eyeing one all day - I'm planning to use it after roller setting.

Best price I've seen so far: http://www.frizzy2silky.com/shop/fh...flat-iron-41034-w-nano-technology-p-4224.html
 
Re: Why does the FHI PLATFORM cost $450??!!

i just got a call from maribell and placed an order for the runway. I really wanted to get the 4/10 platform now for newgrowth and the runway in a couple of months but she only has the runway and will be getting the other selections in december. the cost was 260 including s/h
 
Re: Why does the FHI PLATFORM cost $450??!!

Yeah Maribel called me today as well and I finally placed my order. Everything was the same as you paid including S+H. It is such a blessing that she is willing to give us the wholesaler price. I also ordered a corset from her as well :)

shhhh.....don't tell the hubby!!!

Christmas has come early this year!
 
Re: Why does the FHI PLATFORM cost $450??!!

I got to get rid of this FHI platform

Re: Why does the FHI PLATFORM cost $450??!!

The platform is a step under the runway when I compare info. I want to sell that platform
 
Re: Why does the FHI PLATFORM cost $450??!!

wow. this thread was really useful. now i want the runway, after reading all of the rave reviews. i tried calling all of the salons listed on the fhi website in my area, but none of them sell it. i even extended the search to 50 miles away- nothing. amazon and beauty choice.com are both sold out. the only people with it in stock are selling it at $450 and up. i called marabel also, and she said she's been backordered, and the waiting list is for december. darn it.
