Love it
-05.16.13
Quick Take: heats quickly, long lasting natural waves
Gives you great, beachy waves. Very natural and lasts all day.
The only issue I have is when I use the glove, I feel i do a better job without it. Just be super careful becauase it's extremely hot!

easy to use, great results
-05.15.13
I'm really terrible at doing hair so I usually don't bother to do it. Decided to try this curler on the recommendation of my friend as a last resort. On my first try, I was able to get great curls in about 10 minutes! (My hair is pretty thin.) Super easy to use and pretty results. I haven't been using the glove but it is pretty hot if you touch it, so maybe better safe than sorry.

great buy
-05.15.13
I bought this curling iron after reading the reviews and watching the youtube video's. I was not disappointed. Even my husband likes how wavy my hair is when I use it. I lent it to a friend to try out and she is going to purchase one as well.

BEST PURCHASE
-05.13.13
Quick Take: holds curls, heats quickly, easy to use, worth the price
I love this wand, and use it almost everyday. I get endless compliments on my curls. It's a great investment. I've had mine for over a year and it still works great. This wand gets really hot which helps hold the curl. MY curls will stay for 1-2 days with sleeping on them

This curling iron changed my life!
-05.06.13
Quick Take: amazing, worth the money
Okay, well, that's a bit dramatic - but only a bit. This curling iron has totally changed the appearance of my hair. In about 1/4 the time it usually takes to style with a more traditional curling iron, my dry hair (with an embarassing number of split ends) looks smooth and silky, without the addition of extra serums or product. LOVE! Best purchase I've made in a long time. And don't be afraid of the barrel width. I thought I'd need larger to obtain the type of curl I was looking for, but 1 inch is perfect.

BEST curling iron ever
-05.01.13
Quick Take: amazing
I have incredibly fine hair, nothing holds ever. Even a perm went flat within a week. This is the only hot tool that has EVER curled my hair. It does one better, my hair has stayed that was for two days (i have to touch up but nothing major). My hair is incredibly oily so i have to use a dry shampoo the next day. I LOVE LOVE this product and would buy it 1000x over

Best hairstyling tool ever!
-04.30.13
I absolutely love this rod!! I have used all sorts of curling irons and this is unbeatable. My hair is mid back and I curl my hair in 4 or 5 different sections and it literally takes me 5 minutes. The curls look gorgeous. You can make them tighter or looser depending on how you wrap them around the rod. For those who are not use to various hairstyling tools, be careful because it gets super hot but if you use it right, you should have no problems. Hands down the best curling tool I have ever bought and recommend it to everyone!

-04.22.13
This is hands down one of the best products I've ever owned! I've been searching for a tool to give me sexy victoria's secret hair for forever and this wand finally did the trick! It is incredibly easy to use once you get the hang of using a wand and delivers amazingly beautiful long lasting curls! A bit pricey but absolutely worth every penny!

curly asian hair?! yes please!
-04.22.13
The most amazing curling iron ever!! Curls never stay in my boring, thick straight asian hair until now. Took a little bit to get use to a clipless rod but once you get the rhythm, it's amazing what this lil baby can do. I love that after the "I just curled my hair look" fades, the curls turn into a natural beachy wave. I've also been able to get a vintage look to my hair. The curls also stay overnight so it's just a quick touch up in the morning! Love that!!
The rod heats up super fast, the glove is comfy and I like the protective cloth it comes with to use when storing is great! I would absolutely recommend this anyone!! I am addicted to curling my hair!

Heaven-Sent for Styling Impaired!!!
-04.22.13
Quick Take: amazing
I have thin/highlighted hair and was tired of considering blow-drying to be the extent of my styling routine. I did lots of research and read a lot of these reviews before I made my purchase in my local Sephora. The fact I’ve never been proficient with a traditional curing iron I think worked in my favor. I watched the Sutra tutorials & the pink heat resistant glove is fantastic! I’m still learning, but I get such great compliments every time I’ve used it. I’d recommend this for anyone, but particularly those who are sheepish about styling. Hope this helped 

OUCH, Not for my layers!
-03.23.13
I wanted this to work for my hair and gave it a try. My hair is too short and it is layered so that did not help. I burned my fingers even with the glove, My husband laughed everytime I yelled yow! I returned it without a problem!

Not for Me
-03.23.13
I know others liked this product but I found the glove and lack of clip extremely awkward to handle especially if you have long layered hair like I do. I had a hard time getting my hair to stay around the rod

Quick Take: easy to use, heats quickly, amazing
This is the best styling iron I have ever used! I have lots and lots of hair, but each strand is very thin. It usually gets statick-ey after I straighten or curl it, but it didn't with this. The best part was it only took 20 minutes to curl my whole head! This is 1/2 as long as any other curling iron, at least. After I use it a few more times, I'll bet I can get it down to 15. It is not so hot that it burns your hair, but hot enough to do it fast. It heats up in about 45 seconds, and it also stays hot without having to reheat when I am using it. I would definitely recommend buying this. If you choose 1 styling tool to buy, this should be the one.

Amazing
-03.13.13
Yes, this curling wand is HOT. But, this is probably why it works so well! You just have to be super careful, which is why a GLOVE is provided. I have had this wand for about a year and I am used to it so I don't use the glove anymore. At first, it was hard for me to figure out. I'm no hair expert so I was a little awkward in the beginning. Once you get used to it, the results are amazing. This not only gives me curls/waves, it makes my hair look FULL and bouncy. You can do different styles as well. If you leave your hair on the wand longer, the curls will be tighter. Less time, you'll have nice waves. Also, I have seen people pin up each curl and letting them cool that way, which will make the curls last longer too. I just haven't done that yet! This product is a little pricey, but well worth the money.

Bombshell Beauty but Burns
-03.06.13
I loved this curling wand so much and it worked very well even with my very long hair. The only caveat as to why I had to return it and why I gave only 4 stars, was I kept burning myself. I used the styling glove as indicated and followed the directions perfectly but I actually am not very coordinated to style my hair on my own. I ended up burning myself on my upper forearm and ear. This wand gets very hot and that's why it works so well. I would highly recommend this product as a curling product to get volume and great curls that last all day--just be careful!!

Not just curls but gorgeous beach waves
-03.04.13
While everyone seems to be raving about how their hair is holding a curl with this extraordinary hair tool, I will rave about my beautiful waves!!! You see, I have wavy hair but its so long and frizzy that I always straighten my hair. This gives me any type of wave I want, curl, style, sexy hair, you name it. I look myself in the mirror at work and I'm like wow!!!! The style always lasts till I wash my hair again! Worth every single penny!!!

-03.03.13
I purchased the Sultra bombshell iron because I really wanted the beachy look, and figured this would be the easiest way to achieve that look. The iron only has one heat setting, which is WAY too hot. I have fairly fine hair, and it is much too hot. I showed the iron to my hairdresser, and she said I should never use something that hot on my head. I ended up giving it to a friend with thick hair, and she said it was even too hot for her! The iron works, which is why I gave it 2 stars, but it is much too hot for most people.
