Pro Artist Nano Ceramic 1" Curling Iron

I first bought this curler in Canada at a Winners a decade ago. For years it's been a constant in my hair routine, and I've really come to learn how to use it to its strengths. It's smooth ceramic length is fantastic for sliding along your curl and making sure all segments of your hair feels the right amount of heat. I've found this doesn't happen as smoothly with other curlers - my hair will get caught or snap when I'm trying to move it down the length of the curler. The temperature control is a nice feature but I've always left it around 380 - it's my sweet spot. It heats up quick and cools down fast too. It's slim and super easy to travel with. I can't say enough good things about this curler. My first curler ended up failing on me randomly, it just failed to heat up one day right before I moved to the US, so one of the first things I did when I moved was to track this product down and order another one. Ten years of life is amazing for a hair product!! And this is better value than most of those other overpriced hair tools out there.

Great curling iron!! Especially for the price! Beautiful curls that lasted all day! Love this curler.

This is an exact make/model replacement for my very old iron. It worked to well for so many years I opted to get the same type. Item arrived quickly.

I love this curling iron! It doesn’t pull on your hair and it gets hot quickly which is great. It’s high quality and incredibly durable - it seems like it will last a long time!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is an awesome iron. I had to find a replacement for mine, as they don't seem to last very long about 2 years. It's a shame, as I do like it a lot. I like the ceramic coating it has since the last one I got didn't have it, and I burned my hair with that one. I'm now going to stick with ceramic only. I do love the dial feature; the ability to adjust the temperature is great.

I’ve been using HotTools brand hair tools for decades. The quality has been reliable. I usually get the gold but decided to try this one as it was slightly less expensive (and a cool color combo - sucker for aesthetics)I will only use hot tools that have variable temperature control, which this iron has - going from 280-450 degrees.The first 2 or 3 times used, my hair really stuck to the coating on the barrel. Something I never experienced with the gold line. Some styles have you run the hair through at the end, and that was a little difficult. I’m not sure if it just has a little build up now that makes it less grippy, but after a week or so, it’s perfectly smooth to use.

This curling iron sucks. It does not get hot. I have it on 450 and I can still touch the curling iron for quite a while which means it’s not truly hot. I got it today and refunding it in less than an hour of receiving it because it does not curl my hair.

Stopped working today out of nowhere. Only lasts a few years now. My first and second hot tools irons lasted 10-12 years :( I think I got maybe 4.5 out of this one. Bummed.

Viene sin una parte, no se puede usar

This is my second Hot Tools curling iron in about 30 years. My first one still works, but does not have the ceramic coating, which makes your hair glide so smoothly through the iron. I had bought a Hot Shot Tools iron with the ceramic coating several years ago, which also still works, but it is not as smooth as the Hot Tools. This could be due to the iron being older, but I am very happy with my new Hot Tools purchase. The price was very competitive compared to the Hot Shot Tools price that I found online while searching for my new iron to replace one that was lost in our RV in a wildfire last summer. I actually decided to keep the new one at home and put the old one in our RV!

Paid less than CAD$15 for it and I am totally satisfied with the curls it gives me, I curl after I wash my hair and the curls stays intact for a day and after 2 or 3 days I still have loose curls on. That is exactly what I was expecting. The size is very versatile and I can make many different types of curls on my hair.

Easy to hold..heats up great..good heat settings..easy to wrap hair around..just all around great curling iron

Je l'adore, frise parfaitement les cheveux mais de façon naturelle (grosses boucles). C'est exactement ce que je voulais!
