What's the cheapest/decent hair straightener in all of Vancouver?

I want to know what store you can get a cheap CHI or Sedu or something hair straightener that works really good for making pin straight hair on wavy hair. Preferably has to be under $50, and is good quality and somewhere in Vancouver, BC. Anybody??What's the cheapest/decent hair straightener in all of Vancouver?
I'm not too keen on the different brands but pretty much anything with ceramic plates should work - and preferably a dial to adjust the temperature. And to be honest, if you really want a good straightener, you might want to be ready to shell out a little more cash if you can afford to, it'll be well worth it.



Just take a check at places such as maybe the Bay/Sears (maybe in the electric/home appliances?) or even take a look at Metrotown to see what you can find.



If that doesn't work I'd go to salons like Toni %26amp; Guy, Suki, Air, Chura, etc. and see if they sell some or can give you suggestions or where you can purchase one.



Hope this helped just a little - I bought a really good one for 20.00 but it's from Japan. Good luck!What's the cheapest/decent hair straightener in all of Vancouver?
ok if you have a sally's store in the area you need to go there the best thing to make pin straight hair is getting a fine toothed comb and the straightener make the straightener follow the comb through the hair. one major factor is getting a straightener that gets hot enough. my mom is a hair stylist and she uses one that goes up to 450 degrees you literally have to only run it through once quickly so you don't fry your hair. also make sure you section off the hair. i will give you a link to one i am talking about it works awesome. also make sure you have a good heat protection styling product that protects the hair. and some shine serum helps too to give you that sleek look. first apply to your ends then to your fly aways to avoid looking greasy. a thinner iron is better. it says it is only 39.99 so it is a professional iron for a great price. my mom paid 79 for hers. also chi straighteners aren't all they have cracked up to be they are so expensive because they are popular. they tend to pull your hair.
As a stylist, I have used a lot of flat irons/hair straighteners, including Sedu, Hai, Infrashine, Chi, Paul Mitchell, Solia, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss Ghd, T3, Kenta etc. You should get a Professional hair straightener, they style much better and faster, and most importantly, they protect your hair.



In terms of performance:



The best ones are: Sedu, Kenta, Solia, Infrashine, Ghd. These are top of the line professional brands



Above average: Chi, Hai, Paul Mitchell,



Average: T3, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss



Below Average: Conair, Vidal Sassoon, Revlon, Bed Head etc. These are cheap consumer brands that you will find in drugstore. If you care about your hair, do NOT buy them.

=== Tips for buying professional hair appliances ===



Do NOT buy professional hair appliances from unauthorized places like amazom.com, eBay, Target, Walmart, etc. Because if you do, manufacturers will refuse to honor the warranty. Buy from licensed places like salon, licensed professional beauty stores like Folica.com, Ulta.com, West Coast Beauty Supply Inc. etc
first off, you're not going to find a CHI straightner for under $100 just because they're one of the nicest and they're so popular. my suggestion would be the revlon ceramic one or something ceramic because that's what makes your hair really straight and makes it stay straight. i guess you could always look on ebay as well....
Umm.. if i were you i would save up a bit more to get a GOOD straightener like the chi (its 200$). Because anything under 100 dollars is fake ceramic and it can really damage ur hair... plus it wont get ur hair pin straight unless u spend hours on it
You might be able to get a flat Iron at Walgreen's but keep in mind that if you are not buying these from a salon or a professional beauty supply store then it might be a knock off which means its a piece of a **** and I would defiantly use a thermal spray so you do not burn your hair and if your going to use this everyday or every other use a good conditioner and you might also want to check a Sally's Beauty Supply I hope I helped I am also a cosmetologist.
