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.

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
Courtney from NLR Arkansas
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
😇 from 🌻
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.
Doesnt work after 3 uses 1
Shibish4 from USA and UAE
Used it twice in USA and it worked fine at 330 degrees.
Used once in UAE and it stopped during first use. The display shows 3 dashes and wont return home or rotate the iron. Now what?!
Perfect curl that lasts 5
Blonde and fine from San Antonio Tx
Easy to use even for beginners. Watch the how to video on the website and then boom within a few trials you'll have it down. It seems pretty much fool proof except I have accidentally hit the home button a couple times and that could be a disaster! But I've recovered
Easy to use, so glad I bought this! 4
Kelly from Louisville, KY
I really like this curling iron, however, sometimes will curling you can very easily hit the "home" button and it will tighten the curl and that's kind of scary!
Not a good review...sorry 1
Pjw from Florida
I'm usually proficient in using hair devices...this one not so much! The clamp on the barrel is so short it holds minimal amount of hair...will be returning to ulta. Disappointed....was hoping this would be ideal for curling...
Good at first but doesn't last. 2
Amy from Bridgewater
This is my second BeachWaver I've bought and at first I loved it but it has a lot of issues after a while and doesn't last. Both of mine has technical issues and start to say error and then just simply don't work. Only a one year guarantee so I assume they only believe their product will last a year. Don't waste your money buying this, not worth it.
I would buy this product again. 5
Jenn G from St. Paul, MN
Effortless, easy to use, and produces beach wave curls.
Great tool 5
Girl 36 from Norman, OK
I am not skilled styling hair, but this tool is so easy to use, when I was finished it looked like I had it styled at the salon.
Stopped working , second one I have tried. 1
sarahkrystina from MI
I loved this. I used it maybe once every few weeks but it totally stopped working. My second one that totally just stopped working on me. Gives the err 4 message and there's nothing you can do.
Will not last over a 1 1/2 2
Alesha from Mesa, Az
I absolutely love for styling but as soon as the warranty is up it will break. I have bought 3 and its happened every time I think I'm done. I will have to find one with better quality for that price.
Not worth the extra money!!! 3
Bailey from Wisconsin
I had wanted to get a new curling iron that made curling hair easy so after looking at different irons I found this one although it was a little more expensive it looked very promising. But I have had this since March and used it less than 10 times and it will not rotate when I push the buttons and it smells when I turn it on. It was NOT WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY.
