Worst product available! Doesn’t do as stated and they apparently provide a money back guarantee but then don’t give you your money back because you’ve used the product. How are you supposed to determine if it works or not, If you haven’t used it? Had to put a bank dispute in to get my money back because these thieves would not return my money!! DO NOT BUY from this seller - they are scammers.
Not only a scam but credit card was used for online purchases that I never made. This is my emergency card that I only have regular payments out of. Thanks to my bank who was made aware of this & stopped the payments. If you’ve bought from this company .. beware.
Product took six weeks to arrive . Product quality feels cheap and nasty. I also paid extra $50 for the case to keep it in which was damaged and they have done nothing about it after saying they would rectify the situation when they received photos with my email which I did promptly they have since ignored any correspondence I would purchase somewhere else if I were you I have not had a good experience this company
I logged in to write my review but can read the ones here already and they are all same to my complaint. No point in adding as i don’t think anything is happening to sort our issue. Has anyone heard back from someone or is there something we can do together to teach them a lesson. My emails have stopped delivering and I am still waiting for my… Read more
refund. The product is gone, i paid money for it and also the postage. Very frustrating!! Is there anybody who lives in Sydney. They have a address where we can trace them.
SCAM site! Got sent a cheap nasty curler as advertised for $49 on Aliexpress. Unlike what was shown and advertised. Unable to get any help, exchanges or refund from the company. Have not attempted to unpack or use, as have been trying to contact seller.
Please do not order from this company. The quality of the curler is dreadful, not even worth $10. I’ve tried emailing them with no reply, my emails bounce back, absolute scam! ☹️
This product is very bad. Waste of money. I ordered one box as well but didn’t get yet. It’s been more than 2 months.
I placed an order before Xmas as a present for my daughter. It was very delayed and I did not receive it until 10 days after Xmas. I ended up purchasing another so she had a gift. I contacted their customer service department and explained. They were very obliging and asked for photos and to verify. They excepted the refund if I sent back at my… Read more
expense of $20. I did so, they received my goods on the 17th January 2025 which I had to follow up. As a result I have not been reimbursed despite many emails and now they have blocked them. I am owed $150. It is a scam. Very disappointing when I have little money as it is and upsetting to know I was taken advantage of despite what they quote on their website. Do not purchase their product. It arrives in a plastic bag and smells of cheap plastic. Cheap and nasty. No instruction manual. Looks like I was totally sucked in. DO NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCT!!!!
THIS COMPANY DOES NOT REFUND YOUR MONEY NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY!!!! I bought what I thought was a rotating hairstyler ($100) as that is how it looked in the videos but it transpired that it was just a hair dryer with a round brush and curling wand which is not what I wanted. So I contacted the company and got lots of lovely customer service emails… Read more
back telling me to return the product ($30 postage) and they would refund my money. I have written to them so many times and still no refund 3 months later. So they have the product plus what I paid for it and it has also cost me the postage to retun it!. So buyers please beware of this company. They are in the Netherlands, not Sydney as stated on their website and when I said I would write negative reviews on every product review site I could find if I didn't get my refund, they have now blocked my emails. So lloks like I have lost $130. Beware of anything that is advertised on Facebook! I will never buy from any company on that social media platform eer again! Bondi Curls are not only dodgy but when complaining to Consumer Affairs, they do not exist - no webite, no ABN. They are scammers!!!!!!!!!
Inferior product. Returned for refund as instructed to. No refund received. Emails all bounce back now. Save your $ and buy elsewhere.
I’ve been scammed!!!! The product is incredibly cheap and nasty! I organized to send it back (at my own expense) for a full refund.. now the emails don’t work and it looks like the company has gone bust… so not only have I lost my money, but I spent $20 to post it back and now I don’t even have a product! Will be referring them to fair trading!
Do never ever i will thrust them, I don't have my refund back, and I pay for the Post Office to, from 20/1/2025 . Emails doesn't work any more, sides doesn't exist when i send email. Whereas my money ?
SCAM! Beware. This company is a complete and utter scam. They do not send product as per the advertised timelines, then they promise a 100% full refund but do not deliver even on UNPACKAGED and UNUSED PRODUCTS which I tried to get them to stop from sending in the first place (but they refused). They are writing false reviews on other platforms… Read more
that are inflating their stars and they block you from commenting on socials. I can provide a complete chain of emails. DO NOT PURCHASE. It's false advertising and awful cheap product. Please do your research, search in socials and you'll see everything. They should be banned from advertising in Australia.

Scam!!! – Cheap product, nothing like advertised, been chasing a refund for over a month now.
Crap crap – If there would be option of zero. I would press that. Such a crap product. So noisy. Infact i feel like it’s a scam.
Scam! – Scam High alert! Do not buy this product from this company. It's very cheap plastic toy looking products. I have returned the product and didn't get the refund . I doubt that they will refund me after their website is down now!!!
Do not deal with this scam company – Total Scam Site copied from Bondi Boost with similar look. Poor quality product received 13 January and returned delivered to them 23rd January before they had a chance to change their return policy for Store credit. 9 emails and many excuses later I still am waiting 18 working days later for my refund. If I could give it no starts I would.
Crappy Cheap product – Chinese seller, not Australian. The product is cheap plastic and does not come as advertised. Attachments do not connect securely and it feel like the product will snap when trying to attach them. After waiting months for them to provide a return address, my refund is still pending despite product being returned and confirmed as received.
Worst experience and product – Here I was thinking it was an Australian business, I may as well have bought it from china myself, product was so cheap looking. If I can rate zero stars, I would. What a total scam, It literally only last 10mins along with smelling like smoke when the motor completely burnt out. Still waiting for my refund after 2months of empty promises. Never again and I warn anyone from dealing with them, you’ll be sorry, like I am.
Sends a Knockoff version from China – Product Review: Bondi Curls Rating: ⭐️ (1/5) SCAM ALERT! I strongly advise against purchasing from Bondi Curls. My partner's experience with this product has been nothing short of a nightmare. Here are the key issues we encountered: Misleading Advertising: The product quality is shockingly cheap, and it seems to be sourced from low-cost… Read more
suppliers, possibly even from Temu. The claims made on their website are completely false.
False Shipping Information: After placing the order, we received confirmation that the product would ship from Sydney. However, the packaging revealed it was actually shipped from China. This kind of deception is unacceptable.
No Refund Policy: Despite what is stated on their website, there is no real refund policy. When my partner attempted to return the product, they initially refused and offered only 30% of the purchase price back. After persistent requests, they agreed to accept the return, but only if we covered the return shipping costs, which amounted to around $20 via AusPost.
Poor Customer Service: It has now been three weeks, and we are still trying to get our money back. The company has been unresponsive, avoiding all communication. This level of customer service is incredibly frustrating and unprofessional.
In conclusion, I would recommend staying far away from Bondi Curls. The product and customer service experience have been extremely disappointing, and I regret the purchase. Save your money and look for more reputable brands!

SCAM, stay away – Wish I could give them MINUS 5. They are scamming people by photoshopping genuine products on their website. they have a huge list of false reviews everywhere, so I am trying to place my review in trusted pages like Product review. Please see the photos attached. They will send you cheap 10-15$ product from China and claim they are giving you it… Read more
for $99 that too after a huge discount. It is not even a genuine company. There is no BondiCurls product on the market. I bet the product will not work. I have not even tried plugging it in as I can see how cheap the product is and do not want it to explode or something. I asked for refund, they do not have any refund policy but only store credit for the very same product. What a JOKE! They are now refusing to accept return too. I have submitted to Ombudsman etc and see where this goes. Wonder how these scamsters get away with broad daylight robbery.
Absolute Scam! Don't buy from these people – Absolute waste of money! It's a crappy piece of plastic that barely works. This company is an absolute scam! Don't buy from this place!

BEWARE of Bondi Curl scam – BEWARE - this is a scam. The hair styler they send you looks nothing like the picture. It is a no-name cheap plastic product. After numerous emails to Bondi Curl - they denied refunding my money even though I sent them pictures to show the difference between what they advertised and what I received. The company is not registered in Australia - so BEWARE.
Cheated by sending a cheap product with no branding and cheap plastic quality – Beware the product you see on instagram is not what you get and the 14 day refund policy is a sham. They will not return your money but will give store credit. What went wrong- 1- The packaging is plain black box without the BondiCurls logo and come from overseas. 2- My package from outside was fine but the black tray inside which was of a flimsy… Read more
material was broken and that raised big concern. See pics 3- The smell was awful like something was burnt and packed. 4- The hair dryer was on the start setting 5- The quality was really really poor- like a really cheap toy hair dryer. 6- When I raised above concerns- response I received from Marie- the customer service personnel said that they have changed the packaging- if that’s the case then socials should reflect. She said I can assure it’s the good product but I will share the pics - I am duped. 7- The burnt smell was not concern for them but I was scared that if I turned that things on it will burn my hair- trust me really bad smell plus cheap quality attachments. 8- 14 day money back guarantee is what shocked me- I have not used the product and still they will not refund my money but will Issue store credit- why was this not written in bold - this is misleading. 9- After repeated email the lady refused to change her stance So girls I will throwing this in bin as too scared to use but please DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT I felt unheard and cheated and don’t want anyone to go the this and the company should take some responsibility. I feel they will not do anything for my case but please don’t buy just looking at social media ads.
Terrible – Total scam. Product is absolute garbage and after 4 weeks of trying to get my money back, they are now saying I can only get store credit. Doesn’t say that anywhere in the conditions of sale. They advertise a money back guarantee! Do not buy!! Misleading advertising and fake reviews .
SCAM PRODUCT AND COMPANY – This company is a scam. They falsely claim to operate out of Australia, but upon closer inspection, they’re actually based in Toronto. The product they sell is unbranded and a cheap import from China. In fact, I found the exact same curler being sold on AliExpress for just $30. Their 14-day money-back guarantee is also misleading and unreliable. DO NOT BUY from this company
Bondi curls – As others have said.. this unit is rubbish.. they use others images and videos.. and sell you the same unit that can be purchased on catch for about $40.. keep clear..

FAKE COMPANY. SCAMMERS – TOTAL SCAM- https://bondicurls.com All 5-star reviews are fake and, are bought. I received the curler which is substandard, cheap looking and shipped from somewhere in China. It doesn’t have any branding, they say it’s festive style, NO BRANDING?? Really? Piggybacking on BONDI BOOST I guess. If you see the logo and names are similar to Bondi… Read more
Boost.
I received the product and sent an email for refund right away along with images and all that would be needed. They offer me a 30% refund saying, keep the product and we’ll refund 30%, later offered 50%!!!! (Screenshots attached)
Now after days, they don’t even reply. I tried on their Facebook page and they blocked my profile right away. I read similar 1-star reviews on Trustpilot offering 30% refund
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM. FAKE SITE WITH FAKE REVIEWS. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!! Wish I had seen reviews earlier.
