Ladies, the Karmin G3 Salon Pro has become my best friend. I've been working as a sytlist for a long time, and I can honestly say the Karmin G3 is the best. It has the heat to straighten stubborn thick, curly hair. And, the temperature adjusts so I can use it on my clients with thinner hair. It leaves the hair feeling soft and silky with a nice sheen. It doesn't burn, or tear the hair. My customers now ask for the Karmin by name. Also, the Karmin's have a genuine 3-year warranty. I had to replace mine after 2 years of use with no hassles. Thank you Karmin for the great product, and your great customer service. Thanks, Nancy
