GlamPalm Review
The GlamPalm is a unique new flat iron in the beauty industry. Offering various heat settings, strong tension, safety heat settings, and the ability to make hair seem pliable are some of the amazing benefits of this iron. As a stylist for private clients, theatrical performances, and wedding parties, I am critical and “picky” when it comes to my heated tools. I was completely invoked and challenged upon discovery of the GlamPalm from a fellow salon owner and CEO of Hairflix (an online community for hairdressers/makeup artists). Using the GlamPalm has proven to be no less than superior.
The digital heat setting makes it simple and safe for stylists or clients to use. It has a wide variation of settings ranging from 215-390. The GlamPalm has automatic knowledge to turn off after 30 minutes of sitting idle. However, it will continue to stay on as long as it is in use.
The plates, incorporated with Healing Stone Technology, leave the hair smooth and shiny without the fly-aways and without the pulling tension of many other irons. The unique spring design in the plates allow for the hair to be curled, flipped, or waved. Do all your cords get tangled up and knotted on your irons? GlamPalm has a swivel cord attachment that avoids frustrating tangles.
Okay, so I am a stylist that works with irons, equipment, and chemicals on a daily basis…You may ask, “Does it really work for people who do not work in the beauty industry?” Here are what a few of my clients have to say:
Rosie: I absolutely love this flat iron! It made my hair so shiny and smooth! It has never felt so silky and nice!
Nicole: I have been waiting for something like this for years. My hair feels great, and I don’t have any of those yucky fly aways! This is amazing!
Gloria: I have never felt my hair that soft. As soon as Kell started ironing my hair, I could feel the difference between my flat iron and the GlamPalm. It glides on the hair smoothly and with ease! I want to buy one.
GlamPalm reaches its heat setting in seconds, and it allows the stylist/client to work quickly and efficiently. Searching for a flat iron has been a challenge. After finding GlamPalm, I am excited to demonstrate it on my clients, friends, and family. And I even look forward to flat ironing my own curly hair! On an honest note, I can only sell what I believe works. GlamPalm works.

Georgian Style Wig - late 1700's
Here is a Georgian Style wig I created. There is a frame/cage inside of this wig to help the hair to stand higher. There is also crepe hair used inside of the curls to make them fluffy and full!
During this time period women only got their hair done once every three months. They would get it "powdered" instead of washed. Many bugs, flies, and other unknowns would be trapped in their hair. The back-scratcher we know nowadays was originally created for these women to scratch their heads! Soon after this period women started cutting their hair short...Wonder why... :) Interesting...
