Mine blew up last night (and good thing i was holding them away from my head at the time or i'd be bald this morning :\: ) but they were 10 yrs old so had a good life - where's the best place to buy them now to ensure they are not fake?

Can you shop & ship them from US/UK or is it just the same price to buy them here?

Thanks!

Cloud 9s also have a two year guarantee which is an added bonus, my pair packed up after just one year and I had no trouble exchanging them.

Cloud nine I think were the original makers of the GHD. Looks like you can order them online from thier website http://www.cloudninehair.com/me/shop/ I think Pastels at Mercato also stock them.

I know you've already got some but for future reference or if you choose to return, use lookfantastic.com. They're listed as authorized distributors on the ghd and cloud 9 sites and deliver for free anywhere in the world. I got my ghds a month ago for 85 pounds with a heat mat and heat protector spray for free. Came with that hologram card to register online so know its original.

Same thing happened to me. I decided to go for Cloud 9 this time and I have to say they are superb! I love that the temperature can be controlled. I bought them at Salon ink. 795aed. I second that. However, the Cloud 9 has a much shorter life span than the GHD.

Hi I'm new to the forum and to Dubai! I've been looking for some GHD's after my friend said I could literally get everything out here... Well maybe not everything! I've searched high and low! After reading here about Sephora, I see that they sell them on their website but don't ship outside the US. I checked one of the small stores but they didn't sell them. Anyone know if Sephora definitely sell them in store out here? Maybe one at Dubai Mall? Thanks all!

I don't remember, but now on the US site they are $180 to $225, with free US delivery, so if you use S&S, it would be those charges only, probably 79 dhs or so. You could also check the UK sites to compare prices and shipping. (Click on the flag to change country websites.) [url=http://www.ghdhair.com/us/hair-straighteners'>link[/url'> Buckeye how much did you pay including the S&S?

Estke it was very scary I was using them but paused to do something so was holding them out and i could hear a noise but didn't pay too much attention to it but after a few seconds looked round and there were small flames coming out of the bottom of the handle :\: i screamed and dropped it and turned off at the mains. if they had been beside hair i would have been on fire :\: - i have been put off them but need them so what to do??! DH says it is the way i twist them all up so the wire and rubber had got thin :( <em>edited by BettysHotpot on 11/11/2012</em>

Eee! I have a very old GHD, about 10 years old. Still working fine but OP, when you say it blew up what exactly happened? The last thing I want is to burn off all my hair which I am trying to grow after cutting it short when I made an impulsive decision... <em>edited by EstKe on 11/11/2012</em>

I ordered mine directly to be sure...plus it helps if anything goes wrong. Mine was from the US and malfunctioned after a year or two. I called them for repair, but they were able to find my sales record and sent me a new one instead.
