Celebrating Mom #9: Karmin G3 Salon Pro Flat Iron {Giveaway}

HairTools.ca{This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations, Huguette E!}

I'd like to say that I've only purchased a small number of high quality, durable, reliable hair styling tools over the years... but that's not true.

Instead, for years I took the route of continually purchasing a cheap curling iron or flat iron and having them prove just how worthless they are. They'll either take forever to heat up or I'll be using them and have pieces start to fall off or I'll just plain have to go over the same section of hair once... twice... three times or more just to get it in place. Who has the time?

Instead, considering how many minutes are spent looking in the mirror every morning straightening, curling, flipping, and styling, it really does just make sense to go with something that is going to do its job and do it well. And, according to the experts at HairTools.ca, the item to do just that to make the lives of moms easier everywhere is the Karmin G3 Salon Pro.

Karmin G3 Salon ProWith a goal of providing more than just excellent customer service, HairTools.ca is the largest hair tools store in Canada and works to offer only the best in professional hairstyling tools to Canada and the United States. For anything from hair dryers to brushes to keratin treatments (and everything in between), this is one site that works to ensure that you're happy with both the results and the time spent using their products.

And when it comes to finding the best flat iron, the Karmin G3 Salon Pro has a long list of features as to exactly why it should be at the top of the list:
  • Ultra hard, mirror smooth Tourmaline Ceramic plate surfaces.
  • Negative ions and infrared heat (removes static) forKarmin flat iron silky shiny hair.
  • Ion field technology (seals in natural oils).
  • Micro-porous technology (locks in moisture).
  • Won’t damage hair like other straighteners.
  • Straight-curl-flip-style.
  • Unparalleled infrared heat for deep, long lasting straightness.
  • Micro chip temperature control with infrared heat for flash quick heating.
  • 232°C (450°F) variable temperature control.
  • Tangle-free 3 meter, 360° swivel cord.
Whether you choose to curl, flip, straighten or add volume and body, the Karmin Salon Pro is the only styling iron you will ever need. By adjusting the temperature settings to match your hair type, styling becomes virtually effortless and the result is always smooth, silky, shiny hair.

Available in white, black, and pink, this sleek styling iron locks in moisture, protects color and adds shine to your locks. The infrared heat manages to provide less damage and faster styling and it virtually eliminates the need to use multiple tools.

best flat ironFor a wide variety of professional hairstyling tools, HairTools.ca has the great selection and lowest possible prices on what you're looking for.
