Love it! – I had an old ghd that had been going strong for 10+ years but really wanted something new. Was so hard to choose between this, cloud nine and ghd but so glad I chose this. My hairdresser also uses this and explained how the vibration setting is actually much better for your hair. I have very coarse, frizzy hair and lots of it. My first use got it smooth and sleek. Definitely not cheap but worth every penny! Show details
Glides so well – I normally don't tend to leave reviews but I had to as this brand I recently discovered through my hairdresser is fantastic. multiple temperatures to choose from and a long cord! how good! Also my daughter left it on the other day and we came back from Coles and the iron was in a kind of off mode to protect my stuff. i looked it up and it is the hibernation mode. very handy! thank you Lisa and Cohen or Colin?!

Have had to return x4 times now and still no replacement offered!! :( – Ordered this as my hairdresser uses it and her one is invincible and has survived for close to ten plus years !! Mine on the other hand has been nothing but issues as this will now be my fourth return to have a technician look at it for "free" cause it's out of warranty !! Even when it was in warranty I had to send it back as it dies altogether… Read more
initially and the other two times it was crakelling and making looking noises ( safety issue) and now the power button has completely fallen off !!
Asked for a new replacement and was told the free technician was best they could do !!
I spent $500 on this and have never had more issue with an electrical item ever !!
Previously owned GHD and never had an issue with it lasting me 10+ years !!
I honestly wouldn't recommend this product and would stay to either Cloud9 or GHD and buy a better quality product than I unfortunately did!!
Positive reviews
Very easy styling – I like that the plates are wider than my ghd. First impression is really good and comes with lots of goodies. The plates are smooth and the hair doesn't snag or pull. I called up to enquire which iron would be the best for my hair and they guy on the phone was very friendly, I think he said his name was Colin. I have tried Cloud 9 in the past but… Read more
they kept on breaking down so i went back to ghd but something changed so hopefully I'm on a winner here!
5 years and still going strong – After owning several GHD models that failed miserably, I was gifted a GlamPalm by my boyfriend. Five years later and it is hands down the best present I’ve ever received! I have thick, long hair and nothing straightens like this. I have a full head of blonde foils and I contribute the health of my hair to the plate technology. I have never reviewed a product before but this is very well deserved. Get it you won’t regret it! Show details
Worth a look – Not as good as my old ghd, but still not a bad product. Very good for the price point and I like the wider plates. Hopefully it lasts the test of time Show details
Negative reviews
Their 5 Star review on there own website is fake – I recently bought a glampalm wide GP501 on their website and gave a 2 stars review , come back to view the review and was shock that my original review/rating was changing from 2 stars to 5 stars and also my original text contents was edited as well Show details
Hi Thinh, Thank you for your words. Our systems are all… Read more
poor quality – Initially I loved the iron but after owning the iron for less than 6 months one of the plates chipped through normal use, the iron has never been dropped or misused but apparently its not covered by warranty. Complete waste of money I've never had this issue with my previous GHD that I've owned for 10 years would not recommend this product to anyone considering the price. Show details
Faulty products. Terrible customer service – My first Glam Palm hair straightener was great. After about 6 years, it stopped working and I ordered another straightener exactly the same to replace it. The first time I used the new one, it overheated and turned off by itself as I was gliding it through my hair. I tested it a few more times and it kept turning off by itself after varying… Read more
amounts of time.
I emailed Glam Palm and they told me to send back the hair straightener. I sent it back and they sent me another new hair straightener. The straightener that they sent me had the same fault as the one that I had just sent back; It constantly overheated and turned off by itself - sometimes after being on for only one minute.
I contacted the company again (this time through PayPal) and asked for a refund. Glam Palm insisted that there was nothing wrong with the straightener and tried to explain the fault away by claiming that what I was describing was just the hibernation mode (the straightener auto shuts-off after 30 minutes of inactivity if accidentally left on).
As Glam Palm would not provide a refund, I eventually received a refund through PayPal Buyer Protection. From the date I first contacted Glam Palm about the fault, it took seven weeks to get my money back.

love love LOVE – My Wideplate Glampalm glides beautifully through my Hair,gives it a beautiful shine.plus the cool heatproof bag, 2x clips and Redken smoothglide heat down.Test it out & you will get the best result.Very happy with my Glampam and looking forward to using it more Show details
Amazing glam palm – This straightener is the smoothest one I have ever owned! I looked at reviews for this product and thought I’d try it as I always originally used ghd’s - glam palm are amazing and I’d never go back to any other brand! Hair feels healthier as you adjust the temperature - amazing!! Show details
Very easy and fast! makes me look gorgeous – This is just perfect for me. I wanted to get an iron that I can make beautiful curls and straighten my hair. This was what I was exactly looking for. It heats up very fast and if you have not used a hair iron before, you will not have any difficulties using this. It is just that easy to make curls and make your hair look gorgeous!
Makes my hair silky soft and shiny. Love it! – I’ve used GHD Platinum before and it doesn’t hold a candle to Glam Palm. My hair is thick and long and the wide plates make ironing my hair super fast and easy. I also love that it makes my hair shiny and silky soft after straightening even if I don’t put heat protector on it.

It gave me an electric shock! – Bought this product for my mum and it gave her an electric shock. Tried to return it and they wouldn’t. They ‘fixed it’ instead. However when it returned it smelled of burned plastic and wires. The company were very unhelpful and did not take any responsibility for their poor quality product. Don’t buy!

Love it – Love the straightener. I've used the ghd and cloud 9 in the past and the glam palm seems to be smoother and less damaging. Also appreciate the two hairclips and carry case that comes as standard.
Better for long hair – Used to have a GHD but going to GlamPalm - well i wont go back. I have long thick hair which looks amazing when straightened and i have more time in the morning as it can get through big pieces of hair quite quick.
AMazing product – Heats up really quickly- 30 seconds. Doesn't pull the hair at all. Straightens the hair in one stroke without having to apply multiple strokes in the same section of hair.
Doesn't damage my hair! – I'm very happy with this straightener, it heats up quite fast, is easy to use for both straightening as well as curling, and doesn't snag on hair. In addition, I never use heat protector as it doesn't appear to damage my hair. In fact, my hair feels even smoother after using this!
Great straightener – Heats up fast and straightens well without snagging. I like the auto-off safety feature that's built in. Unfortunately it doesn't curl nearly as well as hoped, hence the 4 stars instead of 5.
Exceptional customer service – I've had my straightener for 10 months and have been extremely happy with it. Unfortunately it became faulty the other day and I had lost my receipt but the customer service couldn't have been better! They were very accommodating and had the problem fixed within one day. Very happy with the service, would definitely purchase from this company again.
Love this – This iron is great! Very affordable. Love that it has a wide blade. I am a hairdresser amd need something really durable and quick to heat up. This is the perfect straighter for me.
Best straightener by far and amazing customer service – Heats up super fast and is super fast to heat up. I had an issue with it out of warranty and Glam Palm fixed it regardless and was so friendly and efficient. I posted it on Tuesday had it back in excellent order on the Thursday! From a different state

I expected more :( – Fair results, easy to use, little slow to heat up, no snags. Unfortunately it doesn't beat my old ghd I was so so excited to get this product and I'm a little sad. I have super fried bleach blonde and it's results against the ghd were dramatically different.... the wide plates are good for a big curl
Hi Jade, Thank you for your feedback. As we are the… Read more
This thing is a game changer – My ends are no longer frazzled, stiff and crunchy after straightening thanks to this straightener. My old straightener was really ruining my hair. But this does an amazing job, I'm so happy I found it. I had no need to use a high temperature either, I recommend starting at the lowest and seeing how it goes. My hair honestly hasn't looked like… Read more
glossy healthy hair since that one time 10 years ago when a number 1 hairdresser played some tricks on it. Beyond impressed. Used it after the alterna bamboo heat protectant and air drying
Just Amazing ! – I absolutely love GlamPalm, I know if I search the whole world I would never find anything better than this brand. My hair has been feeling so much better and much healthier without using any products in my hair. The straightener heats up within 2 seconds! It doesn't burn your hair or damage your hair and there's no need for heat protecting… Read more
spray! It heals your hair instantly leaving your hair with such a beautiful silky look which also feels good ❤️
I have been telling all my family and friends about GlamPalm and they are all purchasing them right now, they all deserve to feel the glam with GlamPalm everyone does. I would recommend it to everyone tbh. I have ordered another Original GlamPalm straightener with the Aero hair dreyer and it's just amazing, im ordering more products soon :) Just Love It!
If you want to know more about GlamPalm hop onto their website there's also videos on their site to show everyone how it works and how fabulous it is :)
My go too over all the big brands – Nothing at all that's bad can be said about this straightener if anyone asked me what I would suggest it would be this in an instant. The glam palm is an innovative creation from korea using a healing stone in its ceramic plates which soothe the hair . Easy to clean, highly recommended for daily use on a lower temp setting . received as a… Read more
gift and nothing compares. Oh had mine two years or more no plate damage and cleaning is recommended weekly for health of plates and hair
Would love to try other products by glam palm
Beeps continously without heating up – I love this product but very disappointed at how quickly it gave up. Have it for +- 4 years. Refuses to work now. Too expensive to last only 4 years. Show reply
Better than I expected – My cheapo hair straightener had died so I looked into purchasing a decent one. Didn't like the sound of ghd and cloud nine recent reviews so went with the gp501. Tried it on the day I received it. I have long thick hair that kinks within seconds of tying it up. As it was tied up I wanted to see how long it would take to get the kink out.... A… Read more
couple of minutes. And hair felt smooth and had that 'swishy' look to it.
Very happy I purchased this product.
Just Love it! – This iron heats up fast, is easy to use, has various temps and the cord is long. Having an extra long cord comes in real handy. A fantastic product all round!
Burnt my hairs – This is the worst straightener ever.I have used this only twice in 3 months.I followed all the instructions, used heat protectant even though it claims that is not required.This straightener was only capable of burning and breaking my hairs when I used it for first time...Now I have loads of flyaways in my crown area, caused by hair breakage. I… Read more
gave it a go again last week just to make sure if I didnt make any mistakes when I used it before.I badly wanted to love this product as it was bit expensive for me.But it disappointed me again.I can never use it again and I cannot afford any other straightener now.
I bought this straightener after reading good reviews on the internet.Most of the reviews were positive.
I regret choosing this over GHD.so my word of caution for everyone with thin hairs, please stay away from this.
I would love to return my straightener back if they would accept and refund my money.

Useless piece of crap!!! – My Glam Palm has just started continuously beeping and doesn't even heat up. So not impressed, it only cost an arm and a leg and breakdown after a year #annoyed.

awesome iron..although unlucky – I recieved my glampalm this year in feb, it was the best gift ever! It really transformed my damaged hair into beautiful soft,silky hair and i would not trade it for anything else the only problem is that after abt 5months the iron just stopped working one day. I had it returned and i was given a brand new iron but after 2 months its happened… Read more
again and this its coming on and just making noise and going off! I really like this iron dont know why this is happening though
Amazing & Irreplaceble – After my trusty GHD broke after 7years, I decided to stick to what I know. Got myself a GHD Eclipse, biggest mistake ever, it broke after only a year. Then I decided to bite the bullet and purchase a Glampalm solely based on all the amazing reviews on the web. I have not regretted it one bit, my hair has never been this soft and beautiful in ages.… Read more
The best advice I could give to any1 in a rut about getting a new flat iron is invest in a Glampalm, it'll be the best decision you could ever make for your hair!
Great straightener – I took a leap of faith buying this straightener as there are so few reviews online. When it arrived I tried it out with a bit of trepidation that I had wasted my money. I have thick hair and since my old wide plate silver bullet straightened its last hair about 5 years ago I have purchased two straighteners neither of which did any good. However,… Read more
with the glam palm i am finally back in business. My hair looks good after straightening but the best part is it is quick to straighten and it lasts several days. It does not seem to damage my hair and it achieves these results at 190C whereas my old straightener was at 230C. All in all so far I am very happy with my purchase. Plus it comes with a two year warranty so if anything does go wrong I should be covered for a while yet!
Easy as to straighten hair leaves a lovely shine Yes Evan on blonde Show details
