Most Helpful Positive Review Best decision I've made to spend $100 something for this I don't usually spend $100+ for products I don't normally use in daily basis, but since I was in need to curl my hair for an event I was attending, I decided to buy this product. Oh boy! This product saved my life. I don't know how to curl my hair with the regular curling iron. But this product, goodness! The product is dual voltage meaning you can bring this all around the world with the voltage from 100-240V. It takes about 30s for the iron to heat up, which is really fast in my opinion. So, that's my honest review. The $100+ I spent for this is worth it.
Most Helpful Critical Review DON'T WASTE YOUR $$$$$- BREAKS AFTER A FEW USES I received my first beach waver as a gift and loved it. It unfortunately stopped working after a few months! Reached out to Beach waver and they sent me a new one since it was still under warranty, less than a year. My replacement stopped working a few months after I received, again reached out to Beach waver and they sent me another new one. My 3rd beach waver has no died again. I brought to use at my brothers wedding, turned it on, it started to heat up and then died! Tried again, no go, dead! With Covid, I had not used this tool since Jan/Feb, my warranty expired in May 2020, and when I reached out it was July. They will not do anything, and insinuated that I broke my other 2 beach wavers.
I work from home and rarely do my hair, so the total times I used all 3 of these beach wavers may have been 25-30. Additionally, the first 2 times I attempted to return via the warranty, they grilled me with all sorts of questions. They have also noted that you can't wrap the cord around the beach waver because that may brake it?! This is crazy to me, I have all sorts of hair tools that I wrap to keep organized when traveling and have NEVER had an issue.
These tools are great when they work, but beware, they will break and good luck getting a new working one. Stay away and go buy something that won't break after a few uses.

I loved this curling iron, but after only a couple of years it stopped working. One day it just stopped heating up and would beep and turn off. Disappointing considering I have had revlon curling irons last for three times as long, if not longer, for literally 1/10 of the price.
THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO BUY IT 5
Maggie from United States
This curling iron works so nicely and effortlessly! Better then anyone I have ever used before, it practically does the curling for you! Great for beginners or younger kids who are learning! It heats up to max heat within about a minute. I was never good at curling my hair so bought the chi spin and curl. The beachwaver is easier to use then all of them!
Love this curling iron! 4
JP from Denver CO
Once you get the buttons down it's super easy to use! Be careful I did burn myself twice when first getting how to use it down. The waves I got were totally worth any trouble I had with the buttons! I would highly recommend!
LOVE IT 5

Perfect for my hair type (straight & thick), it's perfect for when you're rushing out the house and need to do your hair quick, curls turn out beautifully and last me all day. So far I have no problems with it.
Don't Buy This - I've Had 2 of These Die! 1
Cassie from Lincoln, NE
When I first got my Beachwaver, I absolutely loved it! For the first time, I was able to create gorgeous beachy waves, and I received compliments left and right. But after just a few months of use, the motor that rotated the barrel died. The barrel would still heat up, but would no longer rotate - which was the reason why I bought the Beachwaver in the first place! So I took my Beachwaver back to Ulta and was given a new one - no questions asked. I do love Ulta's customer service! However, I just plugged in my replacement Beacherwaver and experienced the exact same issue - the barrel heats up, but no longer rotates. I've had it for over a year now, so I am outside the window of returns. I can't believe that my second Beachwaver in a row had the exact same issue! I'm so annoyed that I spent so much money on this product. I've never wrapped my cord around the curling iron for storage. I've never even traveled with it! My Beachwaver has only been used at home under normal circumstances. There's just no reason for this. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DON'T BUY THIS! IT WON't LAST!

I have had my Beachwaver for a year and still LOVE it! This is the only hair appliance that I haven't burned myself with - it's so easy so use.
Bought Another!!! 5
Nat from USA
I absolutely love my beach wavers! I have both the original 1.25 and 1. I am still in high school and got my first one in seventh grade. Extremely easy to use. I find with every curling iron if my hair is not straightened first then the curls are very bad. With the beach waver I don't need to straighten my hair first and I get the perfect wave everytime!
Best I've found 5
Shaza from Boston
I tried all the high-end curling irons, including the pricier version of this, but this one was the one! Smooth motor. Stops when it should. Controls are clear. Heat settings for more control. And I've had it for over a year now with no problems.
My absolute favorite!!!! 5
Favorite hair tool!!! from Pennsylvania
I've had a lot of curling irons in the past and this is the only one I have used that gives me the curls I want!!! The buttons are highly touchy so me careful when using! But otherwise, this is a fantastic product!!!!
So simple to use, I love it! 5
DeAnna from Silverdale, WA
I love the Beachwaver! I have had it in the .75 for two years, and I decided I wanted a slightly larger barrel for when I don't want my curl so tight. It is just as easy to use as the other. I have never been able to successfully do beachy waves with my flat iron the way a lot of people do. This is the solution!

Best hair tool I own! 5
Lisa. from Missouri
I have used the beach waver almost daily since purchase, love the look I get every time. It is easy to get a consistent look throughout my hair with this tool something I have struggled with using other tools. Curls are soft, shiny and seem to stay for a good amount of fine.
Flawless Product 5
Sabrina from NY
I have extremely thick hair that is difficult to curl, and never stays curly. The beach waver is the only device that curls my hair and the curls actually hold! I love it
It will break down on you 1
Sonz from Houston, TX
DO NOT BUY THIS!!! I'm telling you this looks amazing and the first hour it was and then it broke down on me. I am so disappointed. For this price I expect a quality product not one that breaks down. I didn't listen to the reviews and I should have.
10/10 so easy I love this!!! 5
Mmh1023 from Columbia SC
So easy to use! I've had to much trouble with wands and other curling irons but this one is awesome!
So easy 5
Ash from Midwest
I'm not great at curling my hair and even with the mixed reviews thought I'd give it a try. The first time it took me half the time as normal to curl my hair. The waves lasted until I washed it the next day. I have zero complaints and think it was really easy to use.
Did not work 1
Sara from Edgewater, FL.
The iron is suppose to rotate itself but when I got it, it would make a bunch of noises but never rotate to create the curl in my hair. After it made a bunch of weird noises, it would just shut off right away. The heat definitely worked but the rotating part of it didn't. I was super bummed because I was excited to try it and experiment with it. But now I'm having troubles even getting through to customer service for a refund. I honestly wouldn't try to swap it for a new one because it obviously isn't good quality for it to be broken the very first try.
Stopped Rotating 1
Lauren M from Athens, GA
This is my third Beachwaver. The previous two were the older black model S1 (one lasted 3 years, the second lasted 4 years). Those were hair saving for me as I'm not coordinated with a real iron. But this third one is definitely cheaply made (very flimsy and a lot of cheap plastic). I feel like I'm using a toy. Very first use it quit rotating after three curls. You can hear the motor grinding as I hit the Home button. Never will purchase again.
Stopped working after to curls. 1
med from Wilmington
I can't comment because the iron stopped rotating after only 2 curls. I tried out a friends Beachwaver prior to purchasing and it worked great. When my iron arrived it felt cheaper than than the older model my friend had loaned me to try. Cheap and inferior for sure. I was only able to use it for 2 curls before it stopped rotating and dotted lines appeared on temp screen. I promptly packed it back up and made return arrangements. So disappointing. I wish I had read all the reviews as the exact issues were noted by many customers.

Suddenly stopped working after less than 2yrs 2
Haley B from Denver CO
I purchased my S1 Dual Voltage curling iron Oct 18, 2018 and it has already suddenly stopped working. The rotating wand became slower and slower until it made a sad noise and stopped rotating altogether. I loved this product so much, I really do miss it. Not sure if I'll purchase another if I'm not even going to get two yrs out of it with that price tag.
doesn't work 3
jojo from ms
While it made a pretty curl. It keeps turning off while trying to curl. Taking back to ulta.
Stopped working after 2 weeks and just kept beeping. 1

Doesn't last long at all
Have to be careful 3
Vnf from New york city
So I've had this for a while. And there is definitely a learning curve. It does a really good job and still works after a couple years. It still makes me nervous though. You have to watch out that you don't hit home button by accident while hold the wand because then it continues to rotate until it's at the home position which is scary when it's moving closer to your scalp
Just be careful! 4

I cannot curl my hair to save my life. I bought this because it basically does the curling for you. It's convenient for me, so I love it. I have thick hair and I was looking for a tighter curl, so this one was perfect for me. The only reason I give it four stars is because you need to be careful with the buttons. You're in charge of the rotation and how close you want it near your head. If you're not careful, you can accidentally click the button and burn yourself.
