Should I get the herstyler straightener or not?

http://www.amazon.com/HerStyler-Tattoo-Ceramic-Straightener-Straightening/dp/B0029MV27C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1242948479&sr=1-3

It’s amazing right? beautiful even. But since I had never heard of the brand I’ve been researching like crazy the past few days. I have found either REALLY GREAT AMAZING reviews or ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE reviews on this brand of straighteners.

I’ve read things about the on/off switch breaking off, the straightener not turning on at all after a few months, the ceramic cracking for no reason, the straightener not even working, the ceramic turning brown, etc..etc.. things that would not make you want to spend so much $$$ on a straightener..then a bunch of stories of how “i thought i was still okay because I had my 1 year warranty” and some people ” AND they even offered to do my hair for FREE any time I want!!!” but then they realize that the emails on the herstyler website are fake and the customer service people are assholes that won’t give you your money back. Oh and as for the people who were offered to get their hair done anytime they want…well they realized the people working at the mall kiosk were long gone…

but THEN there’s the reviews on how this is THE BEST straightener, even better than the CHI, how it leaves your hair looking super smooth and pretty and it lasts like that for days even if it’s humid. That it’s way better than any straightener they’ve ever used and it only broke because they’re boyfriend dropped it once but even that was after using it roughly (and dropping it a lot) for 5 years, otherwise it would still be like new AND that they plan on getting a new one but with the same brand…

So I’m stuck. I’ve read so many good/bad reviews, I have no idea what to choose. Plus all the reviews were for Herstyler but not for this exact straightener. I’ve looked and looked and couldn’t find any reviews for this straightener except some girl who said it’s been working great for years…but then again she wanted to sell it to me over ebay for 80$ with a 3 day return policy…3 days? no thank you… The most I’ve ever spent on a straightener is $50, but I REALLY LOVE the design this one has. So I want to buy it but I also want it to last me a few years. What do you recommend?

P.S. Please also if you know of any other straighteners or flat irons that have cool designs on them let me know so I can find them online. If I can find other straighteners with really cool designs (not just zebra stripes or cheetah spots..I’ve seen those too much), then it’ll help me forget about this straightener and move on to the other cool-y designed one that doesn’t have so many mixed reviews.

Thank you so much for all your help, and yes I will choose a Best Answer if you providereally good insight or another really amazingly designed straightening iron..or both
P.P.S. Oh! I forgot! I don’t have crazy curly hair. My hair is just really thick and long, and gets really wavy and frizzy. I’ve also never been that great at styling my hair so a flat iron is a really quick way to make it look good. Thank u!
