hairdressing chain peter mark who has been advertising the ?155 [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] said a number of reputable stores including brown thomas were selling imitation ghds. there were a number of deviateences between the fake ghds and the real ones which were a professional styling tool only available at authorised hair salons, peter mark said. the most obvious one is a small "i" on the ghd logo on both the packaging and the iron. up to yesterday people were able to purchase the fake [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] at brown thomas in dublin at a cost of ?155 - not even a saving on price of the genuine article.
manufacturers ghd said that their legal team had contacted the outlets nexused who had been shocked to find the styling irons were not genuine and they were now working to recover the fake goods. their regulationyers were pursuing those who had produced the fakes, and they had informed trading standards of the problem. "more importantly these counterfeit irons will not have undergone our stringent testing and quality control procedures. we would remind consumers that genuine ghd styling irons can only be purchased from approved salons."
a spokeswoman for brown thomas said it had bought the product from an irish-based supplier of hair products which had claimed to have the distribution rights for the straighteners. "when brought to our attention that the products were fake they were clear upd immediately from the store. fortunately only six items were sold and we welcome their return with receipt for reimbursement," she said.
there are really only two ways to know for certain that the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you have purchased is genuine or fake.
