It has never worked. Wouldn't charge on the first day. Nothing on the display and had been charging for hours. Used different charging cables which work on other devices. Absolute waste of money. Show details

Very average, I won't buy any Thin Lizzy products again – Do not buy this product if you want value for money! Thin Lizzy will only stand behind the product if it still under warranty (which says a lot about the quality). I approached Thin Lizzy as I have only used it a maximum of 10 times and only started using in 11/22. It started not working by 05/23 and stopped working completely by 11/23. I brought… Read more

this at a 'Post-Covid special rate & it now retails for NZ$170. I have brought a new cord with same results where it just short circuits. I expected a higher quality from a reputable brand and a better response than "it's out of warranty". My previous hair curler lasted 15 years and my hair straightener is still working after 10 years of consistent use.

Don't buy this product...does not work – Purchased as a xmas gift. Imagine the disappointment all round when it would not even charge!! Messaged the co. Got a number but still had no response. I'm so upset. Won't buy online from them again. Show details

Don’t waste your money – This product is rubbish. As I read other reviews I see many people have the same issue. The product works for a while but soon stops charging altogether and is useless. I’ve had 2 replacements. Same problem each time. It’s very disappointing. Today it goes in the bin! I will NEVER go near this piece of junk again. Show details

Turns off within seconds on full charge – Reading through all reviews - everyone having the same issue. It is clear there is a defect with this product. On full charge cannot be used because it turns off - constantly - within seconds. This is a major defect and under Australian Consumer Law this is a breach. There should be a class action because EVERYONE seems to be experiencing the same issue. For a product costing over $100 this is completely unacceptable. Show details

Waste of money – This curler has only been used once before it stopped heating. It only turns on when plugged in and keeps turning off within seconds. This is not something i expected when paying over $100 for a product. Show details

Lasted a year – I had my Curler for just over and year and in that time it was fabulous but now it has stopped working and doesn’t even heat up any more :(( Such a waste of money! You can buy curlers for $20 that last just as long if not longer. So disappointing. Show details

Dreadful customer service – This company has taken my money. No product which was ordered over a month ago and no refund. I've had to go through my bank to get a charge back. They are full of excuses. Avoid Avoid avoid purchasing from them. Dreadful customer service. This review should be no stars Show details

Doesn’t turn on anymore – Have only used it 3-4 times. When plugged in it says it’s on full charge, but won’t turn on whether it’s plugged in or not. It just beeps and switches off. . Got it as a gift so no receipt. Show details

Great product & Excellent Customer Service – I have been using the Ucurl for around a year and absolutely loved it the day I got it. Worked great, small and compact, kept a good amount of charge until I needed to charge it again, got compliments on my hair and was perfect for travelling!! I did however have an issue with the battery after a year, and I reached out to the company to replace… Read more

it because I did not want a refund for I loved the product- I was jut hoping for a replacement. I had kept all my receipts and the original box. The customer service team was very understanding and I had multiple representatives reach out to me to solve the problem and get a new Ucurl on its way to me.

It arrived to me this morning and I am so excited to start using it again!! Thanks so much Thin Lizzy team, really happy with how you handled my situation and you have a loyal customer in me.

Disappointed – Im having the same issue: I've only used this "Thin Lizzy U Curl" 3 times and all of a sudden it has stopped charging. It has been charging for hours! And will only display one battery charge line. When I go to use it, it keeps switching off. I try to use it while plugged in but the same thing happens - keeps switching off and battery won't… Read more

actually charge. I don't have the receipt as it was a gift for Christmas.

My mother purchased 3 - my sister AND sister-in-law have experienced the exact same issue... Respectfully, this is a horrible product that obviously has faulty supplies hence the amount of people with the same issue.

It's good "when" it works correctly – It's all of a sudden stopped charging, it will show one battery charge line after it's basically been charging all day, when go to use it will switch off. I do not have the receipt as it was a gift and I'm unsure of what shop it was purchased at Show details

Terrible Service – I have been waiting since March to sort out this problem with the Hair Curler, Could not get a refund, so sent the product back, and still no assistance from the company when they received the item back or what they propose to do. This is the worst company and does not stand by its products. Never will I buy their products again and shall be advising all my friends of this terrible experience. Show details

Makes curling so easy – I love this curler it's so easy to use and the curls last it had many different heat and time settings to achieve the curl you are after. I have thick hair and unfortunately it did go flat after 45min and I was only half way through so I had to charge to finish my hair it can he used while charging but dose need 1-2 bars of battery. I left it… Read more ·  1

change for 1h while I did my make-up and other things and then finished my hair with it plugged in. It takes about 2 to 2.5 hours to charge fully. I think it's a great little tool and will definitely be using more often. The below image is heat 200 14 seconds. These curls are still the same after a nights sleep.

Loving this product – I've seen a few reviews stating it won't charge or turn on, but I've personally been lucky with mine. I bought it at half off (as I always wait for Thin Lizzy's 50% off sale and buy up then). It takes about an hour to charge and then you can use it for 30-40 minutes on its battery power. I also purchased the fast charging power cord with it, so I… Read more ·  1

can use it while it's plugged in as well. It's super easy to use and I can get a head full of curls in 5 miute. I'm absolutely loving this product

Doesn’t charge & won’t turn on – Complete waste of time & money. Hasn’t worked since I bought it, initially would turn on then do one curl & turn off. Now after leaving on charge overnight, indicates it’s charging but refuses to turn on?  Show details

Not something I would recommend – Takes sometime to heat up, before cooling off quite quickly. Gives a slight wave in your hair, but you need to repeat to get the mildest effect. This product is not for me. Show details

Thin Lizzy U curl – I purchased mine today. It won’t charge. The battery sign indicates it’s charging but ...it’s a liar. If I try to use it plugged in, I manage to do 1 tiny curl and it switches off. Why?  Show details

Faulty Ucurl - poor Customer Service – Ucurl screen doesn't work. Complained and sent them the requested video. Have never heard from them since. Save your money and put it towards a reputable company. Thin Lizzy products are poor quality, and when they're faulty they refuse to do anything about it. The Customer Service is disgraceful! Avoid at all costs. Show details

No charger, no apology, no help – Product arrived without a charging cord. Thin Lizzy unable to supply? No apology offered, they simply tell me to go and buy a charging cord with a $20 voucher they offer?!?!?! Don’t even bother to tell me what type of cord I need. Multiple emails exchanged and I still don’t know what type of cord I need to buy? This was a Christmas present for my daughter. I’m still trying to get a straight answer 10 days later. Buyer beware  Show details

Love love love it! – My hair is thick and frizzy and I got tired of straightening it. My lovely partner bought this for me for Xmas and I love it. No problems so far with it turning off. Got my long thick hair done in less than 20 minutes. Pricey, but worth it!  Show details

Great curler. I love it! – This is the first curler that I’ve been able to get good results for. Takes me about 25mins to curl all of my hair. Uses about half of the battery for a whole head. Curl stays all day. Very happy with it.  Show details

Can never complete my hair – This curler works well but it turns itself off after a little while and then takes more than 30 minutes before you can turn it back on. I’ve had to leave the house with my hair half curled before. Very frustrating.  Show details

Hair got stuck – I'm a hairdresser and my mum gave me this for my birthday and my hair got caught in it. I had to cut a large chunk out. I messaged the company and they didn't even respond. Don't recommend terrible quality
