I brought the True Ceremic pro also. Paid for them in full, same thing. They started working just fine for a few weeks, then the paint started coming off, after a few months, the power would go in and out, and then all of a sudden they stop working all together. I tried calling the 1-800 # but got the same thing a collection agency.. A lesson learned.

Hi everyone. I bought my true ceramic pro in 2005 for a total of $175.00 with shipping and handling and I thought this straightener was the greatest thing ever invented! Mine also peeled, after 6 months and finally it burned my hair. My hair is still dry, and unhealthy from that day. I can still remember it being so hot, I couldn't even hold it in my hand. It overheated so bad that I had it laying on my glass makeup table and it was so powerful, it broke the glass and it shattered on the floor!(I've owned many straighteners before the TCP and they never broke the glass). I called the company repeatedly and nobody ever picked up, or it would be a long busy signal. I still kept trying after 3-4 months and finally they picked up and I explained my situation to a supervisor. They told me they would send me out a new one, with an envelope to send back my old one. I never received anything in the mail and I kept calling all the time and I kept getting a different excuse each time like, it was on back order, or my order was never placed or it was sent out. Then once, the people told me the company was bought out by someone else and they would send me a new one but still.. no straightner. I gave up after 5-6 months of trying and figured I was out of luck. I did put a report in to the Better Buisness Bureau and I hope someone catches these people and everyone who works for them and lies to people everyday.

I too have the same complaint as everyone else. Mine started to chip off paint after 4 months of use, then 3 months after that just stopped working. That's a lot of money for nothing. Based on what everyone is saying I'm just out the money and have learned a expensive lesson about infomercials. Now I'm going to ask my hairdresser what she uses.

Plain and simple... ive had my TCP for 2 years. never used one like this, it does the job. BUT all of the paint has chipped off and just within the last two days it has started smelling really bad. The odor/chemicals, whatever was coming out of it was hurting my eyes. Finally this morning it blew up in my hand!!!! there was a huge spark and singed the hairs on my wrist.. if the tool was any closer to my hair it would have lit on fire!!!!! i know ive had it for 2 years but that shouldnt have happened!!!!!

Whoever was behind this scam i hope they are happy with themselves.. NO good piece of shit LOSERS who profit from cheating other people all i have to say is KARMA is a BITCH and she'll come around and bite you in the ass ASSHOLES!!! If you made this product and thought it would be a success and later found out it is a flop then you need to own up to your mistakes, robbing ppl of hundreds of dollars is just wrong and i hope you R.I.S ROT IN SHIT I paid a total of $250.00 not including the shipping and handling fees for my true ceramic pro. I thought it worked great one of the best straightners i have ever used. About a month after i got it the red paint began to fall off and the device completely ruined my hair. It has been a year now since i last used the machine and till this day my hair is completely fried and very unhealthy. WHen i called to complain about the missing paint i was told to start out at a low heat and gradually increase the heat; that if i put it on its highest heat right when i turned it on it was causing the paint to come off. Well i did that and it still came off. I called them again and i was told that one would be sent out to me and when i recieved it to put my old one in the same box that i recieved my new one and return it to them. I waited and never recieved one. When i called back a women told me that i am technically supp. 2 send the defective one first nad then they would send my new one but because someone had already put the order in that i would be recieving it within the next 2 weeks. It has been over a year and i still dont have my replacement. Every number i have for the company is a fast busy signal. I paid over $200 the true ceramic. I am only 20 yrs old and i go to college full time that kind of money doesnt come very easy for me. ANd what is really funny about the whole thing is that there was a problem with my bank account and they did not recieve the full amount for the product when they were supp. 2. They called me several times threating to give it to bill collecters if i didnt make the payment. The problem was with my credit card i had recieved a new one from my bank and there were some acc. # mix ups so they couldnt get the money from my acc. but what makes me laugh is they were harrasing me for the money when they owed me the product STILL!! Whoever was behind this scam i hope they are happy with themselves.. NO good piece of shit LOSERS who profit from cheating other people all i have to say is KARMA is a BITCH and she'll come around and bite you in the ass ASSHOLES!!!

Hi all: I will be brief. I paid $130 for the True Ceramic Pro after using several other flat Irons I bought at beauty supply stores which didn't work. I loved the product, until the paint fell off and I couldn't use it anymore. I sent it back to the company, made at least 70 (no lying)calls before speaking to a person. That person assured me a new one shipped "just last week". Three months and 20 more calls AND a report to the better business bureau, TV infomercial complaints department and anyone else I could find on the internet, (I am persistant), I talked to another person who said the same thing, Well, Mrs. Rice, I am so sorry this has happened but a new one shipped just 3 days ago. What could I do? I told that person everywhere I had reported them and believe it or not, she said she hadn't heard of ANY other complaints, I told her that was bull and that I was going to keep calling and keep complaining until someone listened to me. I gave them 30 days and was just getting ready to start up again when a package arrived - no packing slip, explanation, no nothing except a brand new straightening iron. I had read on different complaint sites, that if the iron turned burgundy when it heated, not primary red, I had a "good one" which was made BEFORE a certain date. I had a burgundy one!!! Yeah! BUT by then I had started to curl my hair more often than not. I may have used it 10 times since last October when I got it and 2 weeks ago I started using the straightner every 2 days (all I need to do to keep it straight with this particular Iron, that is one reason I love it when it works), and after using it, what 7 or 8 times? I turned it on 3 days ago (the light came on and it started changing colors) and went downstairs for 10 minutes. When I went back up, the light was off and it was cold. I plugged it in again and his the little buttons to reset it, nothing, checked the on and off - nothing. Ohhhhhh, do I have the energy to start over? I am wondering if $130 is enough money to fight this anymore. Has anyone tried to take this thing to a repairman? I think I will go that route this time. I just checked the site where I got the calling info last time and it has packed up and vamoosed and I see several different places selling these things for as low as $39.95 now. Hey, I think I will do some math and see if I buy the $39.95 and use it 20 times before it breaks . . . . how much would it cost me per use . . . no, it isn't worth it, I think I'll go put an ice pack on my head and try not to think about this piece of junk or the company who made it anymore. Thanks for letting me vent. Oh yeah, if a lawsuit ever happens, count me in. I figure with all the people who were duped by this outfit, we might get 1/10 of a penny but it would sure feel good to get back at them.

I ordered a True Ceramic Pro for 120.00. I received it and used it one time, because it was peeling. I sent it back and recieved another one and it was peeled. I sent that one back and never heard from them again. I called many times and they just lied and said they were going to send it. Then when I called an answering machine would come on and I would leave a message. Bottom line: they trained their employees to lie and had no intention of sending me another one. I reported them to the Better Business Bureauand they had no luck. They stole my money and I have no product. I am interesed in any law suit etc. I want to ge them for stealing and lying to so many poeple.

Yes I'm in the same boat ordered one loved it but started to fall apart received a new one and it didn't stay on at the same time purchased one for my hairdresser his didn't work. Now I'm trying to get a hold of the company that has now filed for Bankruptcy.

Bought two of these straighteners. Both began to peel soon after we got them. Then they quit working out of the blue. Returned one; never heard from the company again. Am trying to return the second. NO more website, no customer service #. Can't find these jokers. I am now disputing the charges with my bank (used debit card). Do not buy this product -- it is junk !!!!!

Do not buy this product. It stopped working after 2 months.I reported it to my credit card company. I had the charges removed.

I received the True Ceramic Pro last summer. I loved it when I first started using it. It was not long before the red coating starting to flake and peel. I tried to contact the customer service number (888)807-8953. This stupid recording came on about something that had nothing to do with the true ceramic pro or the company I ordered it from. I have to say this is very sad. I never order things off T.V. for this very reason. There is always something that goes wrong and they make it impossible to get in touch with them. This company should be ashamed of themselves!!

I,too, bought the TCP in August for the astronomical amount of $175.00. The one I received turned on once and immediately shut off...it took much persistence and stubborness, but I finally got in touch with Customer Service who said they had been having trouble with their manufacturer and that to send it back and they would replace it. I did and after quite some time I did receive another one. That one worked quite well for several months and then one day would not turn on. While mine worked, it was great, but they don't last...not worth the money.

I was given a TCP as a Christmas gift in December 2005. Just today is the first time I came to work with frizzy hair!! I feel so uncomfortable. I noticed in the past couple of months, that the TCP wouldn't turn right on. I had to give it a couple tries and flicker the switch before the little red light came on. I knew it was about to go eventually. Well this morning it stopped working entirely. After reading the 11-12 pages of complaints from you ladies, I realized that the red paint on my TCP is chipping away too, on the sides. I couldn't possibly try returning it now since I didn't buy it, and per the TCP website, they only offer a 6 month guarentee. Not only that, after reading all of your complaints, it doesn't seem like you'd get anywhere with this company anyway. Just wasted time! Also, I've always had very thin hair since I can remember. I've tried everything to make it thicken up. Getting hair cuts every month, taking vitamins (Biotin, Vitamin B, etc) nothing has ever worked. In recent months I've noticed that my hair has been falling out a lot too! I literally have to clean my brush out every day, and the ladies at work are constantly picking hair off the back of my shirt. I wondered why in the world my hair was falling out all the sudden???!!! Now I'm beginning to think it WAS this TCP.

I bought a TCP about a year ago and the exact same things have happened to me. The paint is chipping off... it gets so hot it could fry your hair and then out of no where it just stopped working. We tried the phone number on the bill for it and it has been disconnected so then we tried the new number from this website and it says to leave a message because they are "updating their phones". They obviously know they've scammed people... we are now contacting the credit card company- everyone else should do that too- they get involved.

Like anyone else, I owned a True Ceramic Pro iron for about four months and the iron just didn't work anymore. I was able to reach one of the customer service and he told me to mail back and they will repair or exchange it. I waited about two to three months afterward and I was about to give up that they will fix it or give me another one. Luckily, they send me another one, it was okay for eight months until recently the handle just fall apart. I have not drop or damage the iron. First, the handle was loose than it just fall apart. I tried to contact the same number I contacted before and it was busy all the time for last two weeks. I wonder what happen. I hope to get through them and get them to repair/exchange/or money back.

This is the second time that I have been cheated by a t.v. product sista's they get us every time trying to straighten out our God given kinky hair. I have decided to grow dreads. I first purchesed that stuff called reo and it was supposed to straighten without being a chemical well it was a nice conditioner and with heat my hair was softer and seemed to be straigher now however when they didn't send me the products that I had paid for after the trial stuff I had to perm my hair again because you had to keep using it which is what they didn't tell you and they hadn't enough to fill all the orders so after being told it wasn't a chemical I lost all my hair when I put a relaxer in my hair two weeks after using this junk my hair came out in the sink so I was very skeptical about ordering anything off t.v. ever again because the lawsuit only got me my ninety dollars refund after all the women who lost their hair divided up the settlement and that took three years to get. Now all that to say this here we go again and I am tired of these white men taking advantage of me because I am black and have kinky hair. I have just excepted the fact that I don't have straight hair and I never will without some kind of heat and chemical in my hair. I don't see how they can still be selling this product on the internet after so manyt people have been scammened and the new companies are saying you didn't get that iron from us so we can't help you but you are telling me to buy it again from you and take another chance at losing my hair and money again. I say no thank ;you asswipe I'll stay kinky......

Ok, so I purchased my first True Cermaic Pro sometime in August of 05'. About 2 weeks after the paint started to chip off of the plates and it pratically was frying my hair. I went to plug it in, and for no apparent reason it wouldn't even start! I was so displeased with the product! I spent $174.99, with the brush and other hair products included. It was not at all worth that price. I expected state of the art results. I finally recieved my second True Ceramic Pro at the end of January and now in June, the paint is mostly gone from the plates and it is no longer working. What a scam! I try to contact the company and have probably tried 7 different telephone numbers. I never get any help or satisfaction. All I know is that myslef and many others are very upset with this flat iron.

I am also one of those gullable black women who thought ohhh what a nice flat iron and got burned they talked me into buying that expensive shampoo set which was just regular shampoo and conditioner and then they wouldn''t take their broke flat iron back which I never got to use it arrived not working and I bought mine in March of 2005 and I have been trying to get my money back ever since they have promised to send me three flat irons of which I have never recieved and now the company is out of business and yet they are still selling that discusting product on the internet and for a whole lot less Im really mad........ I did purchase the maxi glide though and me and my daughter will swear by that product it does just what it says and we love it my daughter actually lets me press her hair with no fight with that I just wish the little one was available for my short hair before I bought this red piece of trash is there anyone that can help us?????????

All I can say is DITTO to everyone else's story. I never realized that this was happening to so many people. This was the first iron that actually straightened my hair. Then the paint chipped completely off. I was disappointed but after calling and being told that it was not going to affect the use I just kept it. The dial broke and would not allow me to set a temperature. Then when I plugged it in it started a little hum when I first turned it on. Then 2 days ago I plugged it in as usual and 10 minutes later when I went to start straightening my hair I noticed that the iron wasn't even on. I tried to reset the iron but it wouldn't come back on. This is crazy that a company can sell such a defective product and get away with it. It seems that anyone should be at least refunded their purchase price.

I purchased the product on 7/13/05 for $119.97 and after receiving it used it approximately two times before it stopped working. After making several attempts to contact the company, I could get no answer and no help. I experienced all the things others have in trying to get a refund for this very defective protect. After contacting the Better Business Bureau I have learned the company moved and left no forwarding address and there is no information as to where this company may be. I am very distressed about this whole matter.
