My Secret Santa mistakenly gave me a Sephora gift cars instead of cash so no I'm kind of forced to get my flat iron from there.
I need an iron with an adjustable heat dial since my hair is chemically processed and super fine. I also wear different types of extensions that require various heat settings as well.
T3 SinglePass Compact Iron ($79USD)
I went in and purchsed this iron after being misinformed about the product. (Way to go Sephora staff!) it's a shame too. The hardware and packaging were really nice for a $80 flat iron. (Low-midrange in Sephora). The concept is wonderful- a heat resistant cover so that you can carry it. The only thing missing was the main thing I needed- the heat dial. If that was present, I would've kept the iron.
I then did further research and am between several. But before we go there, let me go over the ones that didn't make the cut.
Sutra Seductress ($210USD)
The concept of being able to curl, wave and straighten with this is an awesome idea. I also bought this until I read the reviews. Needless to say- terrible reviews. A lot of people said that it stopped working about 8 months in and they had problems with switching them using the warranty. I also read a review where they tried to email the Sutra customer service and never received a response.
GhD Classic ($185USD)
No heat dial- which is a shame. Apparently the iron is at a constant 375 degrees but I usually iron my hair on no more than 325, so I'm nervous to even try it on my hair. Plus, it's a little out if my price range.
T3 Luminous Tourmaline Flat Iron ($99USD)
I looked at reviews and I'm between three irons now.
T3 Single Pass ($160USD)
This is the iron I originally wanted. Though a bit steep in price, the reviews are pretty great about this iron and the warranty experience.
DryBar ($125USD)
Some review say this iron isn't that impressive either, others say it's fantastic. Since Sephora lets you return if you're dissatisfied, I bought it to use in the interim while waiting for the following iron to finally be sent to the store.

Agave Healing Vapor Iron ($149USD)
