Exclusive Brands?!?! Are they Genuine?!?

Hi Guys and Gals,

I have left it very late as usual, but it is my wife's birthday in a few days and I want to get her GHD hair straighteners. I have found this website and they seem to be doing quite a good deal on what I am looking for.

Here is a link to what I am looking at ...http://www.exclusivebrands.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=137&products_id=1813&osCsid=b96258c93b4c5cfcf8b8c894b0dd6b8a

I have two questions (if you don't mind) Firstly, are they a legit company? I don't want any fake GHD's as I have heard that there are lots around.
And secondly, does anyone know where I can find them cheaper?

Many Thanks and Oh, by the way, it has to be GHD's apparently!

Cheers

Tony

    Hi Tony,

    I couldn't say for definate if the website is legit but looks pretty good to me, they have a contact number so you could give them a call! As for the GHD's when you purchase GHD;s you should look for the holographic sticker to prove that they are genuine, most purchases of GHD's come as standard with a years guarentee and also a certificate. (if you need more details on these let me know)

    As for the price you could probably find them a tiny bit cheaper my first place to look would be Ebay, there are lots of brand new boxed GHD's on ebay just look for a seller with 100% feedback and good reveiws. If you would like to buy elsewhere my best bet would either be to go to your local salon (although you may pay more for these, but you can easy take them back if you have any problems) or try the GHD official site (you will definately pay more here) but they normally offer them with a few free exclusive GHD gifts the GHD site here: http://www.ghdhair.com/uk/ghd-IV-styler

    For the same price as that you have found you could buy from: http://ghd-uk.co.uk/ they are an approved GHD retailer and they are offering the same deal as the site you have found.

    I got mine from a friend of mine who is a hairdresser so I also got them at 80 pound..if you know any hairdressers would definately be worth a try as you will pay trade price for these.

    Hope this has helped you if you have any other questions feel free to pm me.

    I agree looks like a good site also agree with the above ebay good idea as long as very good feedback however the above address ghd-uk.co.uk is part of the same exclusive brands group.
    If ive helped click thanks it will make me smile :D

    Just to let you know i ordered a set of GHD straightners (£109) from this site on the 10th had them by the Saturday 12th and they are great. Little tip - go through QUIDCO and you get 8% cashback. Searched everywhere on the web for them and this was the best price i could get even before the QUIDCO cashback.

    hope this helps :money:
