Had a client's hair start smoking from a cheap flat iron at a wedding gig in Tempe. I'm not kidding.

My friend Sarah had a similar thing happen with a knock-off curling wand. It actually left a small burn mark on her client's neck. She only uses professional tools for events now.

Used to think all flat irons were basically the same until I borrowed a cheap one from a friend and saw how uneven the heat was. @angelapalmer is right, that kind of heat damage is no joke when you're working with someone else's hair. Definitely sticking with trusted brands from now on.

Yikes, that's terrifying, like nina_butler's friend.
