Pro Artist Black Gold Digital Salon Hair Curling Iron | Medium Loose Curls and Tousled Waves, (1-1/4 inch)

I can’t seem to do consistent waves or curls with my straight iron, wand, or round brush. I have them all. Per my hair dresser’s suggestion, I decided to try a good curling iron. She recommended this brand. And I love it. Sturdy but light, and the barrel is the right length and width (1.25") for my medium-long hair. The curls come out natural and loose. Heats up fast and I can lock the heat setting. Overall very easy and fast. My hair dresser suggested changing direction for every other curl, and that’s working well. I just let my hair fully dry, either naturally or with a blow dryer, and then use clips to section the hair. Getting so many compliments on my hair. Wish I’d purchased this iron sooner.

I have a Bioionic curling iron (1.25") that I've used for years and love. I wanted a 1" barrel and decided to give this option a try as it's a cheaper option, but reviews indicated it would be comparable. To my surprise, I like the HOT TOOLS Pro Artist iron MORE than my expensive Bioionic. It was smoother on my hair (no tugging/snags), heated up faster, left no creases, and just overall felt like a quality iron. Excited to keep playing around with it. I have medium/long length hair and had no issues with barrel length or size.

Love this iron. As a retired hair stylist, I WISH Hot Tools had made this available when I was working full time. What I love about it: Smooth barrel. Nicely weighted and balanced. Digital temperature setting that you can lock. Super fast heat up time! I highly recommend.

This works great for my heavy straight hair. I need a curling iron that gets really hot to put a curl in my hair. The curl also will last for a few days. I like that you can lock it so you don’t accidentally turn the temperature down.

Easy to use and glides through hair beautifully. Heats up incredibly fast, auto turnoff if you forget to turn it off, and gives great curls/volume very quickly. Best curling made by Hot Tools that I have purchased. The price is very budget friendly too for what I consider a high end iron.

This curling iron should win a design award. It is lightweight and stable, and incredibly easy to use. I traveled with it and used the dual voltage feature successfully, but I like it so much it might become my every day iron. Love the digital readout, quick heating and the sleek coating that protects my fine hair.

This is the only curling iron that can hold my curls. It is very easy to use for someone who is just learning how to use a clamp iron. It is really easy to control the heat level and you can lock in the temperature with a button. It is very lightweight and easy to travel with.

I recently cut of over 20 inches of hair above my shoulders and needed to replace my large barrel iron .I have a lot of hair but it’s baby fine and this held waves/curls great. I purchased this and the price was better here than big brand named beauty stores . I really like the ease of use and fast heat up. The lock button is super convenient and a great added feature.
