Vidal Sassoon VS880, my worst buy of 2007
Review of Vidal Sassoon VS880 by littlexen

Advantages: look quite stylish
Disadvantages: poor heat levels, vibrates, doesn't straighten hair

...I purchased a set of Vidal Sassoon VS880 hair straighteners from the salon for £24.99 to keep my hair looking like it had just been styled. I had no reservations making the purchase as my stylist had used the same make and model when it was originally styled and having heard bad things about the unreliability of GHD hair straighteners I happily left thinking I had a bargain. I have since found this make and model for as low as £12.99 online and ...
...I would not recommend the Vidal Sassoon VS880 at all. They look fantastic but are completely useless. It is a sad indictment that an iron and ironing board can produce results that by far exceed a specialist product in a shorter space of time and with a lot less hassle. For me, these hair straighteners are by far my worst purchase of 2007 and a mistake I will not be making again. If you need a set of hair straighteners avoid this product like the ... Read review

Get "straight" to work !
Review of Vidal Sassoon VS880 by gemma1234

Advantages: Leaves hair straight and smooth
Disadvantages: Takes ages, not suitable for all hair types

LOOKS: These straighters (known as Hair hydration), are quite compact so would fit in a suitcase/overnight bag. They are quite stylish looking silvery grey colour with purple ceramic plates. The plates themselves, however are quite small. They are supposed to have a current of positive ions running between the plates to prevent any static electricity building up in your hair, a green light indicates this is working and a red light indicates if the ...
...another button which "locks" the straighteners together so that you do not have to press them closed against the hair, this feature is rather helpful as it saves getting blisters on your hands from pushing the two parts together for a long time. HOW TO USE: Turn the straighteners on, then place a small strand of hair in between the two ceramic plates, lock the plates and then slowly slide then straighters down the hair strand. The ionsation feature ... Read review

Straightners?
Review of Vidal Sassoon VS880 by x_nic_x

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: Dont heat up well

I got these straighteners quite a while ago, thinking they might be quite good, as the product description said some great things. So after a huge struggle to get into the packaging, i plug them in to find an immense buzzing noise coming from them! Now at first i thought there might have been a problem with the product, as the leaflets hadn't mentioned anything about noise as they heat up (though the leaflet didn't say much else either) and so i ...
...gave them a chance though, and left them to heat up so i could try them out and see if they were as good as they were supposed to be. So after 5 minutes i checked to see if they'd heated up very far - nothing of the sort, they were hardly even warm! after checking them again and again, i went back about half a hour later to find them hot, but not as hot as i would have expected them to be. Giving them the benefit of the doubt i tried them out, ... Read review

Ions my arse!
Review of Vidal Sassoon VS880 by d33_

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Takes o long time to get straight

...boots and bought me these. Vidal Sassoon ionising straightoners. Packaging It was the packaging that drew me in in the first place. Very sharp stylish and alluring. The promise of less frizz was certainly appealing. I have never used Vidal Sassoon products before but vie heard he has a good reputation. Price I then looked at the price. They were reduced to £15. Bargain I thought so I bought them. I only really needed them for a couple of nights ...
...not have the ionising technology so I thought these ones might be even better. Wrong. Use When I got them home I was pleased with myself for finding such a bargain and designer name. When you plug them in a red light comes on them when they are ready the green one comes on. They are quite loud which sounds wired but a small buzzing noise is emitted. This is the ions? The ions are basically supposed to stop frizz. Also my older ones go up to a temp ... Read review

i thought straighteners were meant to straighten?
Review of Vidal Sassoon VS880 by ollie2606

Advantages: You can change the temperature to suit your hair type
Disadvantages: Not very good at straightening!!!

I had these straighteners as a christmas present and when i read the box saying that they were hydration straighteners i was happy because they wouldn't dry my hair out likeother straighteners. the plates were a nice purple colour and they were lightweight. They even had different temperatures to suit your hair type e.g dry hair, normal hair etc. i couldn't wait to use them so i plugged them in and they did take quite a while to heat up but as i ...
