take a pass..... [SEP] My wife had a paul brown for about 2 years, loved it, it ended up dieing on her tragically last year(so sad right? lol) so I decided to get her a new one for her birthday, BAD IDEA. it broke within the first week. Apparently paul browns are being made by a different manufacturer than they used to be or something like that. Anyway I returned it, got my money back and bought her a 100% ceramic(not plated, real ceramic) Hana flat iron, it works great.
