 *these photographs are a similar representation but differ slightly from the model that was sent to me for review

I recently had the opportunity to review the Hana Titanium Flat Iron from http://www.misikko.com/. I was so thrilled to recieve a brand-spanking new flat iron since I was long overdue for one. For this review I will be utilizing a more structured approach, call it a 'formal' review format.

What is the product and where can I find it?

Is it user friendly?
This flat iron extremly user friendly, safe and burn proof provided the user utilizes the cooling elements supplied. An LED light gage provides the user the ability to determine if the iron is at maximum temperature. This iron heats up to the desired temperature within 1 minute, which is very fast. The iron has an on and off switch and temperature gage so it is in no way difficult to use.

What makes this product stand out above the rest?
This flat iron is of very high quality, is quick to heat up and provides high heat for fast styling. It has a sleek and professional look.The floating 1.5” plates auto-adjust to glide over any hair texture. This product was voted best flat iron by Missiko customers and has been featured in Marie Claire and Red Book magazines.

What was the Customer Service experience like?
The representatives at misikko.com were with quick and polite with email correspondance and I recieved the iron within 2 weeks from shipping date. They went the extra mile by sending the deluxe gift set with the iron.

The Nitty Gritty?

I really enjoy using this flat iron. I use it primarily on clients for photoshoots and use it to curl hair rather than straighten it. Its high heat gives me the capability to produce a variation of hair styles. Here is an example of what results the iron will give you for curling:

There is only one thing that I do not like about this product, it is that I have burned myself and others with it. This may more so be my fault but if I had the opportunity to redesign the iron, I would leave a bit of a buffer around the heat plates so when it comes into direct contact with the scalp, it won't burn it.
