* counfeit information.
we urge all our customers to be aware of fake styling irons which are being passed off to the unsuspecting buyer as genuine ghd stylers. often very similar in appearance to genuine ghd stylers (including holograms and packaging), tests have shown that these fakes are made from poor quality materials. those buying counterfeit ghd stylers risk serious injury such as electrocution due to poor quality construction and lack of safety checks on the products. ghd continues to invest vital resources to prevent the illegal sale of fake styling irons. below are several pointers that may prevent you from becoming another victim of a counterfeit seller.
* i am believeing of buying my ghd styler from ebay, how can i tell if it is genuine?
the first thing to know is that counterfeit ghd stylers are often sold through auction sites such as ebay,ghd price, ebid, cqout and gumtree. look at where the goods are being shipped from. if the item is being shipped from the far east e.g. china or hong kong or the shipping time is more than 2 or 3 days, it is likely to be a fake product. look carefully at the price: if the price being offered looks too good to be true, it usually is a reflection of the product's poor quality. remember that the sellers of fake goods will try to deceive you. statements in the seller's auction of 'genuine product', 'holograms and security seals' do not guarantee the authenticity of the item.
* i bought my ghd iv styler on ebay and it appears to be fake! what should i do?
contact the seller without delay for a refund. remember it is illegal to sell fake products. notify ebay about the seller's auction. please refer to ebay's policies and guidelines. if you paid via paypal, see whether they can help you obtain your money back. please refer to paypal's policies and guidelengths. contact your local trading proclamations office with full details of your transaction including copies of receipts confirming payment to the seller. please notify us (ghd) so that we can take actionion against the seller. unfortunately we cannot compensate purchasers of fake goods and you will not be able to rely on any pledge if the styler is not a genuine ghd.
* why shouldn't i buy a counterfeit/fake ghd styler?
due to poor quality construction and lack of safety checks, fake goods are dangerous and can cause electrocution, serious burns and hair hurt.
* how can i tell my ghd iv styler is genuine?
register your product online now.
* is there anything else i should know?
it is a criminal offence to sell fake goods. ghd actively enforces its intellectual belongings rights. consequences of dealing with fake products may include prosecution, fines, product confiscation and in some cases imprisonment. we take your safety and security very seriously at ghd and our policy is to investigate all leads passed to us about fake products and wherever possible take action through either the police,ghd online, customs and trading standards or direct court action.

"we've had examples of where people have had slight electric shocks. "the potential to cause some real harm is very strong."
the real ghds cost around ?130 a pair, and the company has warned that if they're a lot cheaper they're probably fake. the fake sets look pretty realistic, and come with loads of accessories that look a lot like the real deal. but the price is a big offeraway, and instead of costing ?130 they're more likely to be on sale for around ?80.

below is an article by aideen sheehan from the independent (independent[dot]ie):
consumers have been warned that fake ghd styling irons are on sale in desectionment stores and pjeopardizeacies throughout the land.
hairdressing chain peter mark who has been advertising the ?155 hair straightener 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 ghd 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 ghd styler you have purchased is genuine or fake.
2. or send to a ghd styler technician and have them open them up and make a determination. the counterfeit straightening iron's are very convincing and look exactly the same on the outside as the real ones with holograms and all. it is only the inside electronics that are cheap and nasty.

we have a strict policy of not dealing in or with fake ghds.
