Question About Getting GHD Straighteners Fixed

stevesheff08 · 05-12-2009, 16:45

would anyone have an idea on how much it would cost to get them fixed as my mums on about getting them fixed as think 1 of the cables are loose inside as they keep turning off when being used or wouldnt it be worth it on getting them fixed?... shes had them a while thank you

My mate paid about 25 quid to get hers fixed and then straight away had another problem with them. I wouldn't bother to be honest. I had a pair for about two years, then they fizzled and died. They are just too unreliable to warrant the pricetag in my opinion, I bought babyliss pro 230 and have had them longer and they are great.

oh right, where did she take them ?, mind if i could figure out how to get in them i'd fix them myself, but they are hard to get into though lol

I'll try and find out for you. I'm pretty sure it was someone who has a sign in a shop window on Abbeydale Road.

if you have got the box for them you can send them back to the manufacter and they replace them free, i did with mine

think there is a fault with them, not sure of the address but if you google it you will find it, its in leeds somewhere i think... usually get them back within 2-3 weeks, not good around the crimbo party season tho

Straighteners are a magic wand, they turn frizz into sleek. Wouldn't be without mine. I even have a back up pair. Just in case.

My first set exploded on me - the bit where the wire is connected just started chucking out sparks all of a sudden - I called GHD to see if they would replace them but they wouldn't, they said that as they were out of warranty (about a year and a half old), they could only repair them, but I would have to send them to them with a cheque for £40. I didn't bother, just bought some new ones.

Anyway, I think I saw a sign at the key cutting place in Morrisons Hillsborough advertising someone who fixes them!!

Not entireley sure what women get up to in the privacy of their own boudouir. I can't live without my womans treasures but don't care if they're curly or straight or what voltage they work on! Gotta go now before I get banned ! (am I missing the point here?)
