Q: will this little one work like the bigger one and do curls as well as straighten?? I just got a shorter haircut ( shoulder length) and they said light curls with a straightner would work well. I love the size of this smaller one since i travel a lot.
submitted by suz - 4 years ago
A:Â Thanks for your question! No, this doesn't have the same kind of beveled edge as the full size flatiron to make curls.
submitted byKristin Ess Hair - 3 years agoBrand expertA:Â The power button is placed in a horrible spot, i continually turned this off.

I love the size, how it feels in my hand, and how it glides on my hair. Perfect travel size, too.

Power button is in the worst place ever. Keep shutting it off no matter how I try to hold it. Can’t adjust the heat either.
Great for body!

Lovely - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
My girls bought me this for Mother's Day. At first, I thought it was small but I was still going to use it. Then, I tried curling my hair with it. It is fantastic for this!! I got beachy waves that I have always wanted and it is easy to use.
Its okay

I only use a straightener on my bangs so this is a good size for me. It's an okay product, doesn't catch and pull on my hairs too much. My only real compliant is that I can't adjust the temperature.

I will reiterate that the button placement is horrible. It makes it impossible to style hair without constantly turning it off.
It was average

I’m my opinion the product is average. I have short chin length hair so this mini flat iron helps gets spots better than a regular sized one would. I dislike how the product doesn’t have heat settings, it’s automatically set to 380° . Overall the product works well for me and is very convenient to bring along my only complaint is the set heat setting
its very good!

Kaulana Noelani - 1 year ago
I had my eye on the Kristen Ess straightener for a long time, and since the full sized one has been out of stock for so long, I splurged and got the mini. Everything about it is beautiful but I absolutely HATE the button placement. I have small hands and yet I still hit the power button while trying to straighten my hair, accidentally turning it off. It doesn't seem like a big deal, it just is an odd placement for a power button, so I chose to give it away to someone else.
Great for on the go

Really like the iron. Took max two passes on my hair. Warmed up quickly, dose only heat up to one temperature.
Not worth it

It will get brown in an year or less and it will make your hair smell bad.
Too Hot & Burnt the White Color to Brown
1 out of 5 stars
Tonya - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
You cannot control the temperature -- there's only one, and it gets hot. It can get so hot that sometimes touching the handle too far up will burn your hand. Second, because of the high temperature, the white material by the blades get cooked to a brown color after a few months (see photo). Remember, there is no way to turn down the temperature on this thing so this is inevitable. I am sorry but I cannot recommend this product.
Fixed heat at 380

It got too hot and was difficult for me to hold. I burned my hand and my fine hair got fried. It'd be nice if I could control the temperature.

This us perfect for traveling and even just for getting annoying little baby hair to touch up. I’m so happy with this purchase and would recommend to anyone. It’s not too small, it’s a really good size.

For those worried about the power button-it has been moved to the inside! (Purchased 9/18/2020) Works AMAZING for my long pixie. Perfect for home and travel. Love it!

Yea I really like this flat iron. I have really short hair, barely to the top of my ears and this flat iron lets me get good quality curls on my hair. It only has one heat setting, but if you have short or thin hair it will be fine. Also it's really cute so that's a bonus!

I purchased this on a whim. After reading reviews I expected to be disappointed. I have coarse, thick hair. I wanted a mini after cutting off a ton of length and not getting the curls/waves I wanted with my full size flat iron.
This is extremely powerful. Heats up within 4 seconds. Gives me perfect waves with one run through, and stayed all day. The only complaint is the location of the power button, but I felt it was easy to hit again to turn on as soon as I hit it off. To be so small, temp to not go to usual flat iron temps, and the power button issue, it is worth the money. The size makes it great for travel. It comes with a heat bag which I love.

Ashley - 3 years ago
I love ALL Kristen Ess products, but was pretty disappointed with this straightener. My hair is already pretty straight, so I just wanted it to quickly straighten out the kinks and maybe use it to curl. Every time I go to grab the straighten, I accidentally shut it off due to where the power button is located. So annoying. I ended up returning it.
Not good quality

Beautiful and well made - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
The heat setting is not strong so curls and waves don’t set well- even with product. Glad I got it in sale because not worth 50.00.

Terrible design; on/off button in worst possible place. Cannot use the iron without either accidentally turning it off or risk burning your hand by repositioning it. Should have spent the extra $$ and got the full size version. Will be returning ASAP!!
