Academy Tools Straightener

Samantha, Irympie, VIC says:

"I love it! The Academy Tools Straightener left my hair straight, shiny and smooth and with a flawless finish. I have long hair and it was quick to straighten thanks to the longer plates and glided through my hair more easily because of the Soltec Ceramic plates. VS Sassoon is an innovative brand associated with quality and I would recommend the Academy Tools Straightner to my friends."

Angela, Albion Park , NSW says:

"The Academy Tools Straightener left my hair straight, smooth, shiny and soft. I was happy with the results as it didn't leave my hair frizzy, it heated up quickly and straightening time was shorter due to the 120mm longer plates that also allowed me to get close to the roots of my hair. The SolTECTM Ceramic plates were smoother than other straighteners I have used and glided through my hair easily, leaving my hair with a flawless, shiny finish. The Academy Tools Straightener outperformed other brands I have used and I would recommend it to my friends because of the overall results on my hair, the accessories, it's comfortable to use and I LOVE the extra long power cord".

Priscilla, Robina, QLD says:

"The Academy Tools Straightener has advanced technology that gave me a quick, clean straight result and is better than other straighteners I have used. The SolTECTM Ceramic plates were really smooth, giving me a shiny finish and glided through my hair with ease. I used it to create curls and it worked so easily giving me a really clean result, and it's lightweight too. It's a great product and provides great results for less of the price of other straighteners so I would definitely recommend it to my friends".

Goddess Conditioning Ionic Steam Straightener

Beverly C MBE, Top Celebrity Hairdresser

“The Goddess is a complete breakthrough in straightening. It has wider plates than your average straighteners, meaning you can straighten more hair in one go. The straightening effect is second to none. After one pass, the hair is much straighter and softer, giving you a ‘just done at the salon’ finish that lasts”.

Melanie, Eagle Vale, NSW says:

The Goddess turned my frizzy, wavy hair into lustrious, straight silky locks... I'm in love! I would recommend it to my friends because it worked with minimum fuss and left outstanding results that I'm still amazed by. It's the easiest straightener I have used, it has so many different features, the steam helped keep my hair straight for longer and it worked faster to remove the frizz. It performs better than previous brands I have used because it didn't dry out or damage my hair and it felt amazing afterwards, it heats up very quickly and is easy to transport in my handbag with the heat protection mat and pouch. And I used the Goddess to curl my hair, leaving perfect, shiny curls and the results lasted!

Ana Paula, Varsity Lakes, QLD says:

"My hair is very curly and difficult to get straight using a straightener only, I usually have to blow dry it first, but with the Goddess, I didn't need to use a dryer! The Goddess gets the job done, and quickly, and I really liked the steam feature because it doesn't dry my hair out like other straighteners, it leaves my hair straight with less frizz. The plates glide through my hair well and the retractable combs mean I didn't have to use a comb, all this at an affordable price, so I am recommending it to my friends too".

Ultimate Salon Straightener VSP2089A

Beverly C MBE, Top Celebrity Hairdresser:

“The Ultimate Nano  is fantastic. It’s hotter than other irons and heats in just 30 seconds. It recovers super quickly too, so it retains its temperature whilst you’re using it”.

Kimberley, Edithvale, VIC says:

"I was happy with the results of the Ultimate 230 Nano Straightener, my hair looked so straight, smooth, shiny and soft. I used the straightener to curl my hair and the curls were gentle and natural looking. It provides better results than previous brands I have used, it heats up quicker, straightens quicker and easier and left my hair looking and feeling fantastic! I would recommend it to my friends as it's amazing how quick and easy it is to use  - my friends can see how great my hair looks. Keep making products like this as you have made a wonderful straightener".

Blogger Review


VS Sassoon's Ultimate Salon Straightener is a beautiful, salon-quality professional straightener that delivers results that will blow your mind.

Now, let me just say, I am not a hair straightener virgin. I've purchased anything from Remington, Diva to GHD. I adored the results of the GHD on my hair, however the set temperature of 230 degrees seemed to dry out my fine, thin hair with repeated use. That's why I started looking for a straightener with a variable temperature setting, which is how I ended up with this gem from VS Sassoon.

VS Sassoon's Ultimate Salon Straightener has quite a number of impressive salon professional, high quality features. Firstly, it heats up to 230 degrees in a nifty 15 seconds, however you can choose between 3 different temperature settings starting from 180 degrees. The 'CeramicTEC' advanced technology boasts 2 separate ceramic heaters, along with super smooth floating titanium plates. The rounded, barrel design makes curling hair easy, and it also comes with a luxurious heat resistant crocodile storage pouch (score!).

This VS Sassoon straightener makes it so easy to get silky, straight strands or curls, waves and flicks. In addition to the easy-clean, glossy, purple exterior, the rounded arms assists the hair to achieve a full, long-lasting curl. The smooth titanium plates glide through the hair with no catching or pulling, leaving my strands looking shiny, healthy and lustrous. It also features 'floating' plates, which move when you apply pressure, and this allows your hair to be sandwiched evenly during straightening, preventing any 'hotspots', thus ensuring heat is delivered to every strand. I love that I can set the temperature at 180 degrees, minimising any heat damage to my frizzy, dry hair.

I adore this VS Sassoon Straightener - it's perfect when you want to achieve smooth sleek looks, voluminous curls or subtle flicks. The product is high quality, practically designed with added high-tech features, making it suitable for all hair types. The pricing is reasonable, it's easily accessible, and delivers easy results with no gimmicky claims.

Glide Straightener VS2085A

Jasmine, Mascot, NSW says:

"I used the Glide Straightener and I loved it! It's quick and easy to use for everday straightening and I love the longer plates so I can straighten more of my hair at a time. It straightened my hair fast, I didn't have to go over it a few times like I noramlly do with other straighteners. It heated up quickly, glided through my hair easily and the results were straight!  The heat protection mat protected my benchtop and it made me feel safe about putting the straightener down until it had cooled. I would definitely recommend it to my friends becasue of the longer plates!"

Style Straightener VS27A

Laura, Marayong, NSW says:

"The results using the Style Straightener were straight, smooth, shiny and soft. It's so verstaile it can be used on wet or dry hair. When I used it on my dry hair only I believe it gave just as good a result as the GHD straightener! When I used it on my wet hair, it was great because I didn't need to use two appliances to get my hair straightened!  The Style Straightner performs better than previous brands I have used, it made my hair more straight and smooth! I would definitely recommend it to my friends because for the price it gives such a fantastic result!"
