GHD's

Not sure if this is posted in the right place.

I'm wanting some ghd's and have looked at deals online - all aournd £100 but with freebies, mainly heat mat and thermal protection spray.

Stores sell the straighteners for roughly £120 but have a trade in at the moment making them £100.

I wanted to buy them online due to freebies, however it's hard to know if they are genuine, so thinking in store may be the best option.

Does anyone know if you get freebies doing it this way and what's everyones opinion on this?

TIA

    Just looked around the ghd comparison site above and Jason Shankey has a £10 voucher code for the pink ghd "PINK"

    and Look Fantastic have a ghd IV mk4 deal with Free Thermal Protector, Free Delivery and Free DVD for £94 which seems like a good "Safe" deal.
    I got mines from look fantastic and they are definitely the real deal. TJ hughes has some too.
    Third time lucky on WW I hope :j

  • :mad: I bought GHDs on ebay, 5 months later they roke. I sent them to be repaired to GHD and was told they are counterfeit!

    A hairdressing salon told me that if anyone is seling GHDs for less than £100 they are probably fake as the salons can't buy them for less than £100!

    PLEASE BE AWARE OF SELLERS ON EBAY SELLING GENUINE GHDS - THEY PROBABLY AREN'T
