Cheapest Place To Buy GHD?

pmk19 · 29-06-2006 9:52pm #1

Howdy,

My girlfriends birthday is coming up and she's kind of been hinting at wanting one. She said her straightner is terrible.

Anyway, im sure some of you know a lot more about them than me. So where's the cheapest place to get on or offline? Am I also open to other brands or models which are as good as GHD's. Or are you just paying for the name? Thanks

EDIT - actually she said something about COBRA, does that ring a bell with anyone. anyone know that brand. better/worse/same as GHD

EDIT (2) - is it true that you can only buy GHD in salons. if so how much are they?

Depends on her hair really. If she has curly hair that's difficult to straighten, the GHD is the best as it's the hottest straightener on the market. If she has semi-straight hair that just has a bit of a kink in it, then a lesser model might do.

I got my GHD's from HQhair.com and it was by far the cheapest at the time.

Just noticed that she says hers is terrible - if she's bought herself one before and thought it would have been good, maybe the GHD really is the way to go.

thanks rainglow, her hair is probably semi straight

She said hers is terrible...sounds like the hint was "I want a hair straightener, and not a cheap one either but a GHD!!!"

I got mine in Peter Marks. Dunno where else they are sold. y the way mine Bwent on fire and nearly burnt me alive and i got a Remmington one on sale for E29 and it is excellent. Gets the same as a ghd (and i am a fan of the GHD even though it did spit fire at me) and i have curly hair!

i got mine there too, was the cheapest i could find at the time too, over a yr ago now i think.

i had tried remmington and ther types but the GHD is by far the best, 20 mins with the GHD did the same as over an hour with other ones..

If your in Dublin go to Terrisales on Abbey Street, you will be able to get hair straighteners there, that are of a great hairdressing standard and they can advise you the best ones to get. Its a hairdressing cash and carry by the way.

If you can afford it though, I'd get the GHD's, mine were around €200 and they're the ltd edition pink ones, if you can get these from Peter Mark, she will love you forever trust me!!

my friend got a GHD in petermarks for E155 and its fantastic! I was gonna get one but its a bit too much for my budget so are there any that are as good and if so cud you please tell me the full name of the product?

As posted above, hqhair.com is really good and cheaper to buy a GHD there than in Peter Mark, I bought mine there, would recommend them

Got one a new one from ebay in the end!, worked out slightly cheaper than hqhair.com around 120e including delivery but not the paypal charge. thanks for all the comments though.

Kinda amazing the way GHDs haven't gone down in price at all....I got mine 4 years ago for €155, and they're still that price. Mad. It is the hottest and therefore the best straightener, but you can't ever leave it switched on or plugged in because it's very tempermental. Some people's have exploded within weeks, but I'm very careful, I even put it on the fireplace to cool down. But yeah, Peter Marks only....and the internet.

The Remmington doesn't get as hot, and I find it kinda bulky and harder to use. But it works if your hair is somewhat straight, and not too thick. It's around €30, and it's in most Boots and places like that.

The KUDO, or something like that is also dirt cheap compared to the GHD, and it's almost as hot. It has settings for thick and thin hair also...
