Are my GHD's genuine??

bulldog14

Hi guys, looking for soem advice,

I bought a pair of Pink GHD's from e bay a couple of months ago, they appeared genuine and came in the box and had a hologram tag on the wire and a hologram on the actual straighteners.

As I've been stopping away a lot lately, and they've been in and out of my bag the label on the cable got tatty and eventually fell off, I didn't think anything of it and threw it away.

I;ve been reading about fake GHD's that are about and decided to register mine with GHD. The problem I've got is that I threw the security label away, is the code on the hologram on the actual straighteners the same??
I;ve tried using this code but its not beng accepted!

Could someone with a genuine pair confirm whether ir not the codes are the same?

Many thanks

Ebay.. hm. Did you pay a realistic amount of money?
Was their feedback absolutely beyond reproach?

Ebay is full of fake GHDs

Thanks for your help, I've just called GHD who have told me that they are 'possiby not genuine' but I would have to send them off for them to look at to be sure.
I paid £95 for them and the e bayer seemed very genuine..I didn't go into it blindly I did research. I have contacted e bay now to see what they have to say!

its a real difficult one. they make the fakes so good these days you can buy the fakes ones for about 25 pounds now. but i cant imagine the ceramic plates to be the samer as ghd though. i have some real ones and the plastic side bits that cover up the screws fell off and the actual printing of ghd etc on the irons is rubbing off i dont even use them that much. i would take them to a ghd stockist if i was u and get a stylist to look at them, if they are fake you might be able to get ur money back through paypal x

One of our clients has some great information on how to spot counterfeit ghd stylers, you can see it here: http://www.agsalons.com/info/Are-My-ghd-stylers-genuine

Alternatively, ghd themselves have a lot of information on the subject here: http://www.ghdhair.com/dk/customer-care/counterfeit

Hope that helps (and you've got genuine ones!)
