    I would avoid that site.

    There's a dedicated GHD price comparison site http://www.compareghds.co.uk/ which comes up with the best deals on genuine GHD's currently.
    This site has saved me a fortune :money: ...it's also cost me a fortune! :doh:

  • looks fake to me

    they have no address anywhere on their site, so who are they?

    also if you look at their privacy notice,it looks like the site is a quickly thrown together template that hasnt been edited properly

    and lastly when you check at www.whois.net to find out who it is registered too you get http://www.whois.net./whois/hair-direct.net

    you get a strange chinese name and it looks like the site was made a week ago!!

    in my opinion, stay away!!!
    If at first you dont succeed.............skydiving is not for you !
  • My advise would be, if ghd do not recognize the website then do not buy

    My collegue recently bought from a very authentic looking website, the ones she got weren't real and when she complained to the website the acknowledged they weren't real but wouldn't refund ( these fakes can be a fire hazzard so it's hardly worth it )
    choose wisely
    Busy mum of 3, so if my posts don't make sense or ask a silly question be patient:rotfl:

  • from what i can find, the same person caiyi caiyi is responsible for a ugg boots fake website too, they do send very poor fake goods out and then dont reply if you email them

    please stay away, i am now 100% sure this is a site selling very poor counterfeits and then disappearing when too many complaints turn up

  • if you go onto the official ghd website, think its ghdhair.com there is actually a search facility where you can put a website address in and they will tell you whether it is an official stockist or not. to be honest if it's not listed as official I wouldn't buy. i'd rather pay a couple of quid extra to make sure they were definitley genuine.

    Definitely fake!

    I spent MANY hours recently searching for the best deal on GHD's, and eventually found it at Exclusive Brands using Quidco for 9% cashback, so net cost was about £95 which included a GHD heat mat and GHD Thermo Protector.
