*Purchased at Markham East location, but its probably the same price at every Costco.

Specs:
- Advanced Ceramic Technology
- Instant heat reached in 30 second
- Size - 1.2 inch wide and 4.3 inch long
- 10 temperature settings and on/off button
- Swivel cord

+ 4 styling clips and heat mat (to protect surface)


My review:
I was looking a a good hair straightener for a long time - specifically one that was about 1 inch wide and able to produce waves in my hair as well. Most of the good ones are over $50 even ones and the cheap ones at CT were really crappy - to get a hair straighter under $50, one might have to go on ebay...

This hair straightener is really good. It has an on/off button that I really like so that I don't have to unplug. Also when it is ready to use (30 seconds) the on button turns solid red, so I don't have to guess when it's ready. I used the low settings and it still worked really well in my hair. My favourite thing about this straightener is that I can make waves in my hair too! So for me its a 2 in 1 device :)
My friend also bought one and her hair is realllly curly, she says it works really well making her hair straight.

I think this is can be a awesome gift for ladies/men - something of great value for a low price.

Do you have to be a red head to use this?

[mayble]

Thanks! Do you know what temperature this straightener will heat up to?

I just got back for Costco @ Heartland - They have a Testarossa Hair Straightener, but it is $66.99!
Unfortunately, I didn't have the item#, so I couldn't compare.
Anyway, YMMV.........

[brule]

It was 14.97 here in Ottawa. Thx for the post, seems like a good deal :)

[mayble]

I checked Dundas and 403 location this afternoon and they still have for 66.99.

[kamanda]

Leslie/ Elgin mills also $66.99

[qootex]

how hot does it heat up to?

[Bookpreviews]

Personally I like Envirotrends and Trade Secret stores- they always have sales on the professional straighteners.

I have a 1" one from Envirotrends- forget the brand Babyliss maybe? and it heats up to almost 500- but I probably paid $100 for that.

But considering u get hairclips and a heat mat it is a good deal just for that.

Well for $15 it is not a huge loss, but at $60....thats almost salon starting prices!

No go in Newmarket. It is $66.99. The unit is red, though, and looks to be larger.

Great deal. I am going to call first to see if we have any in GVR but not seen any on my numerous visits to Costco!
Has anyone seen these in GVR?

I just bought the Conair Testaross HAIR DRYER at the Costco downtown location. I also recall seeing a hair straightener there, but I don't recall if it was the same brand.

For the record, I only noticed because my wife sent me looking for a curling iron....if that salvages my manhood in any way....probably not.

Thanks OP! Got one at the Markham location. There were quite a few left, if anyone is interested.

I called the Brampton location and they told me this item is left at Markham and St. Catharines locations only.

Thanks. I will give them a call to check.

Just came back from the Richmond, BC Costco...They have the red testarossa but it isn't on sale, looks like a different one, it has a stand included.

Hey brule, which costco in Ottawa you go?

[DynomiteHunter]

no sightings of this in gvr?

[Stinger]

Bad timing! The girlfriend saw this post and told me about it, says she is going to go out and try and find one tomorrow as the old one broke a few weeks back....

Thing is, I just shelled out $150 for a Sedu as a christmas present - Hopefully the GVRD stores havn't lowered prices yet, or the snow keeps her inside :lol:

Blast - RFD strikes

I picked one up yesterday at the Innes location.

[brule]

I guess it's the "Gloucester" location.. It's the one on Innes Rd as mentioned above.. You can always hit me up on private message on here, since I don't always revisit these.. :D When I went sunday morning, there were essentially 2 flats full of them..

[soblecram]

I call and was told none within 100 km

Obviously the clerk was way too busy. There were over 100 of them at the Gloucester store on Innes yesterday....

*** Maybe stupid me should read the other posts first.. Got to the one from jcoltage and figured I would put in my 2 cents... Now I get to use my 2 cents to buy a paper towel to wipe the egg off my face...
