Herstyler

I need to get a Herstyler curling wand for my sister that she saw in a shopping centre where it was £100, she said to get it off the internet where it is about £50. The only place I can find it is ebay, I am looking for some advice is there a chance it could be a fake? should I get it from a UK or US seller? the one she wants is the medium 25mm size which seems to have a black and white box is this correct? all the other products are in a coloured box, and any other advice you can offer me, I'm so clueless as I've never seen one in the flesh before. Thanks in advance

  • Hi,
    Not too much advice really except to say my sister got her's off ebay from US no prob's definately genuine and half the price cost £50 incl P&P. I think they are quite difficult to get cheaper here than the price in the shopping centre, they have limited distribution etc but are widely available in the US apparently.
    HTH
  • I'd be careful about buying possible fakes of electrical goods that deal with heat.

    Sure, a fake perfume will make you smell of poo.

    A fake hair curler could scald you to disfigurement. Is that worth £50?

    Ladies, after much soul searching on whether or not to buy this on ebay (and very miffed that the US Amazon site was taunting us with so many varieties of this product!), the lovely UK Amazon people have it on the site - can be had for less than £40. Fill your boots and Merry thingy
