Revlon - Curling Iron

I purchased a Revlon Curling Iron on December 24, 2011 at the K-Mart store in Wilmington, Ohio. I am writing this to you on Sunday, January 15, 2012 so I have had the curling iron for less than a month. It no longer works and I have several concerns about it. They are as follows: (1) The off switch is on the left side of the curling iron and the on switch is on the right side. It seems to me they should be in reversed positions. (2) The curling iron worked very well for a short time and then I noticed that I could turn it off, but it would soon turn itself back on. (3) A week or so ago, I used the curling iron and then tried to turn it off and I could not. There is a tag on the cord indicating the curling iron will turn off automatically after one hour. However, I don't think that should preclude the user being able to turn the curling iron off after each use. I am concerned this may be a real safety hazard so I am reporting it to you. I have suffered no harm but fear that other may. Thanks for your help with this.

I had been using a Revlon curling iron for about six months. The Revlon curling iron worked fairly well but never seemed hot enough, and the clamp was weak, my hair often slid through. Then the clamp began to catch some hair and pull it out. Finally, in the middle of styling, the spring on the clamp broke making the curler useless. I feel that this is a cheaply made product and I will not use this brand again.

This is my 3rd Revlon curling iron, simply because I like the barrel size. My 1st curling iron: within 6 months, the button that you use to turn it on, got so loose that it would stay pushed down inside of the curling iron. The 2nd curling iron: returned faulty curling iron and got the same type, assuming it was a fluke. Within 6 months, it happened again. The 3rd curling iron: was working great, had no problems with the on button this time, but this past weekend, I smelled it getting hotter than usual. My daughter pointed it out as well, as when you mashed the opening clip, smoke would roll out. There was black goo on the end from the end knob melting. I could literally turn it because the glue melted, I am guessing. Again, I thought I just had it turned too high, so I turned the setting way down, but it was still doing that with the smell and smoke. I used it last weekend before I figured out what it was doing, and my hair was singed and is now breaking easily and stiff. These things need to be recalled!

I bought Revlon curling iron for my daughter's hair. The setting was on 1 and it totally fried her hair off. The iron melted her hair right off. Revlon should give back my money since I don't have a receipt or the box to take back to the store.

I spent collectively 90 dollars on the curling irons and then went out and spent an additional 30 dollars on another

I have the Revlon 052 curling iron and suffered a severe burn to my arm,damaged & burned off my hair. I am extremely furious about this accident. The curling iron itself turned black from burning. This specific item is dangerous to own, to use, and your health and safety. I had to treat my burned arm, suffer a severe burn, cut my hair three times and it still looks fried. I have a permanent scar. The loss of a curling iron which could of started a fire. I had to buy special items to treat my hair and the burn on my arm.

Damage Resulting: It cost me $300 to repair my hair and it still doesn't look right! It is pretty hard to repair melted hair right before a wedding!

This is obviously not a horrible experience such as the women who have endured burnt hair, repair haircuts, clipped eyelashes. This is just an annoyance to have to keep running out for a product you thought you had, to keep paying for something that was supposed to work in the first place but didn't, to have to take the time to run around and write letters, and to not be able to quickly and easily find an address for consumer complaints. Let me have my head examined if I ever buy another Revlon product!

My description of my personal hair-hell would be much longer if I hadn't scanned a few of the anguished complaints posted. Suffice to say that chunks of my hair were burnt off, others merely (!) frizzed beyond redemption. In the latter stages of assuming somehow I was mucking up, I had dialed the control down to #1 (on a scale of 1-20!)

I have told only one person besides my husband; I just am not generally a complainer. Ironically, my friend (an internal therapist) uses the identical Revlon tool, at the full setting of 20! Rest assured I will warn her off as soon as the sun rises. At present I am sporting an oddly chopped & frizzed do; this is not something I earned through carelessness or any other fault. I would like for SOMEONE to do SOMETHING to salve my feelings through the transition back to hair that doesn't resemble a cheap wig.

I have bought 4 60-second curling irons in the past year. Everyone of the irons break in the same spot, right in the fold of the iron where it bends. There might be some sort of defect in them and it is very expensive to have to buy a curling iron so often, when they should last longer.

I have bought the 60 second heat up curling iron by Revlon twice and I believe this curling iron should have a recall. The curling iron singed my hair even on the number 1 setting, The curling iron smokes and burns your hair right off before you can even pull it away. Two inches of my hair was damaged because of this curling iron, I am very concerned that this product is being sold and not recalled. Two inches of my hair was damaged several times, I had to go to a salon just to get something done with all that was burnt.

I used the Revlon 052 curling iron and it burnt my hair off as soon as it hit my hair. I didn't even have a chance to pull the hair off the curling iron. I was minutes from leaving on my vacation, having reservations. I had to phone the hilton and tell them i would be late in hopes that they would not cancel my room for the weekend.

I had to get a $75 haircut to repair the hair that was burnt off my head. I had been letting my hair grow to one length but have since with my sadness and aggravation had to get it layered with some of it being verrrrrrrry short. I was very upset with having a new haircut for my trip. I don't know about this curling iron. I think it could be very dangerous.

I bought a curling iron at Walgreens model RV051 which heats up in 60 seconds. I use this curling iron almost everyday. I always keep it on the same setting and I never use gel or mouse in my hair when curling it.

I used it last week just like everyday when I began to curl my hair and smoke began to come out of the curling iron. I got scared and immediately tried to take the curling iron off my hair when a chunk of my hair was literally burned and stuck to the curling iron. It burned about 2 1/2 to 3 inches of my hair.

I heated up the 60-second curling iron. I curled my entire head of hair with no problem. I started to put the last peice of my hair in the curling iron and before I closed it on my hair I could smell it burning. I tried to pull it away from my hair instantly and a big chunk of my hair burned off with the iron.

I now have a large bald spot at the crown of my head. I examined the iron afterwards and discovered that the iron had gotten so hot that it melted the plastic tip of the iron and distorted it.

trying to grow it all one length for about 2 years.
