Hi everyone. I was doing research this week on flat irons. I am looking for something prefarbly inexpensive, but that can straighten natural hair, and straightened hair (transitioning) with varying heat settings. I have seen good reviews for the GVP at Sallys. The images of them on youtube, look just like the CHIs or imitation CHI's that are made in China, and that are selling on ebay. PS, nearly every chi selling on ebay is a fake, but I have seen no complaints about the quality. What I wanted to verify, is if anyone believes that the GVP flat irons sold by Sally's are the same Flat Irons sold on ebay (especially the limited edition camo pink) that come from China? or are those made somewhere else?

i can only compare to the gvp, which works great.
