Will never buy another brand!
My husband purchased this for me nearly 6 years ago. I have 4 daughters, 3 of whom are old enough to use all my products so it gets used multiple times a day! I have not had a single issue with mine. The heating time is really quick, it does an absolutely fantastic job on my hair, easy to use, and even though its gone for a swim in my bathtub... still works a treat. So impressed!
Purchased in July 2014 for $249.00.

So good
I have been using GHD for 4 years now and it’s the best thing I’ve ever bought. Doesn’t burn my hair , I use heat protect spray tho . Last long but the only down side it just stopped working after 2 years so I had to buy a new one

Good quality and heats up quickly
I bought the GHD V Gold classic after a previous hair straightener failed. It heats up remarkably quickly and keeps the temperature constant without toasting your hair. I have quite fine hair so it is fairly easy to use and only takes about 5 minutes to straighten my hair. For the price it is definitely worth it as it lasts a long time and is good quality - had mine for 3.5 years already.
Purchased in December 2015.

the best straightening iron I had
It heats up really quick! And the heat was adjusted perfectly! It leaves my hair shine after using it! Plus I could straighten a bunch of hair which makes it quicker! This is the only tool I need, as it straightens and it could also use to curl my hair! Love it!

Still going 10 years on!
I’ve had this hair straightener for 10 years! I use it every day (sometimes twice a day). It cost me around $350 with a discount in 2009 which was quite a lot at the time, but I wouldn’t recommend anything else!

Could not live without my GHD
Heats up very quickly.
The only straightener that actually straightens my wavey hair.
Very easy to use.
With long hair I recommend using a heat product on your hair to help protect your hair.

8 Years on!
Have had my Scarlet GHD for 8 years now and it is still the best straighter. I have had literally no issues what so ever with it! Still heats up in a few seconds and is the best thing. I couldn't live without it.

Poor performance from the GHD Gold Professional
I purchased a GHD Gold Professional styler in August 2018. I have had numerous GHDs over the last decade. The GHD Gold Professional styler does not heat up well and it leaves my hair frizzy within 1 hour after straightening. This has never happened on previous GHDs, nor any other straightener. My hair has always been sleek and smooth after straightening with previous GHDs. I've tried all the tips and bought additional products to help the straightness or curls remain in place, but it doesn't work. I am extremely disappointed with the quality/ effectiveness of the straightener and do not feel like I received value for the cost paid.
Purchased in August 2018 for $275.00.

Thanks for responding. Does ghd stand by the quality of its product and offer a customer satisfaction/money back guarantee?

Perfect for my hair. God knows what I'd do without it.
I love my GHD. My hair would be a right mess every day without it. My third ghd since they were invented. This one now approx 7 years old & still going strong. My former ghd only stopped working as I accidentally knocked it onto the floor. Got this one & never looked back. I am also the proud owner of ghd platinum tropical sky straighteners bought in 2017. My best one for holidays & of course back up should my others fail.

Love it
Such a good straightener, heats up fully in less than 10 seconds and takes me only like 5 minutes to straighten all of my hair and stays straight all day.

Great Product
Works well and lasted for years so far. Beeps when hot and doesn't take long to heat up. No issues with the power cord or any other wear like I have had with other brands.

Remington is better
It heats up quick and shuts itself down if left unattended which is good/safe, however I had to send it back after 6 months because it just stopped working. I expected more for $300.00 honestly my other $70.00 Remington hair straightener does a better job. It takes too long to straighten and it really dries the hair out, even with heat protection. I wouldn't recommend this product GHD platinum hair straightener. Not worth it save your money, the return was a hassle even with the receipt and warranty. I wasn't paid for this review I'm just super disappointed with the cost for the quality I received and fare enough I lost out but if I can save someone else $300.00, than I'm going to try. Just thought I'd share that with you guys.

I love my ghd
Very satisfied if it heats up so quickly and gets really hot.
It takes about 2-3 minutes to fully straighten my hair its so easy to use and leave my hair with a beautiful finish straight smooth and shiny.
I have owned a ghd for years my first one lasted me about 9-10 years and it never missed a beat, it was still just as good as when I first got it out of the box.
I definitely recommend ghd I love this brand of straightener. I also used to be a hairdresser and we used ghd in the salon and it was amazing we got so many customers onto buying one

Does an OK job, but not great for everyday use
So the good things are that it heats up quite quick and for the first couple of months of use it worked really well on my hair. After that however, the styler started to rip through my hair and my hair wouldn't stay straight all day. I'd say if you aren't using this straightener everyday then it's an OK buy, however for longevity I'd spend my money elsewhere

Still enjoying it everyday
Quick start and I like that it has automatic shut off for whenever I forgot to turn it off. Bought this 2 years ago from a click frenzy sale and still working like new. Never really had any issue with it. My hair stylist don't recommend this for thick hair tho due to having only one temperature setting.

Failed after 2 years warranty.
The GHD just stopped after 2 years and 4 months.So just outside warranty period. It won't turn on. I only used 2-3 times a week on shoulder length hair. Not good enough for a product cost $200.

Disappointed
I’m shocked with my purchase. I bought my GHD V gold max in August 2018. The first one stopped working after the first time that i used it. The light wouldn’t turn on. I contacted customer service and they replaced it for me. The second one didn’t heat properly leaving my hair frizzy and taking a long time to straighten my hair. So the second one was replaced again with a new straightener. Now I'm on my third ghd and i find the quality of this product appealing. I have thick and long hair and it takes me so long to straighten them and my hair ...Read more
doesn’t look smooth or silky at all. I just find it pointless contacting customer service again as i think the next one they will send to me will have same problem. I'm so annoyed because I couldn’t wait to get a new ghd. I must say customer service has been amazing and very helpful with me but the product it’s not worth at all.1 comment

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions about ghd Gold Styler
What does a flashing red light mean for my ghd Hair Straightener?
If your ghd Straightener has a blinking red light indicator, it indicates that the heat plates are not able to reach or maintain its temperature. If the plates are cold to the touch, you may need to warm them up with your hands. If this doesn’t solve the issue, this may indicate a deeper hardware fault; contact ghd for assistance.
What are the main differences between ghd Hair Straightener models?
The main differences between ghd Straightener models are the choices of unit & heat plate size (ranging from “small” to “large”), included accessories, and colours. In addition, Platinum models have a tri-zone heat sensor to more granular temperature control.

My GHD straightener is not heating up, light constantly flashing, and every few seconds it does a triple beep. I have tried keeping it warmer and no difference :( I got this 5 years ago but I hardly ever use it, only for special occasions, and have always kept it in its protective case it came with and fold the cord correctly. Please help
