Hi, I brought a pink GHd Gift set off of Ebay for my girlfriend for xmas and thought they were the real deal. That was until I got a email from a fellow ebayer who also brought some from the same seller to tell me they were fakes so I phoned GHD and they confirmed mine were also fakes. So I have got onto paypal to get my money back by opening a claim and hopefully will be sorted by Feb. I paid 127.00 will never buy name goods off of ebay, gutted some ppl have the nerve to do this, even the communication with the seller before all of this come about was spot on. so ppl be careful

I just bought weeks ago and received yesterday a GHD IV Styler that looks real to me. Skeptical as I’m I went to look for more info online. After looking in many eBay reviews I spotted mine as 100% sure fake looking the tine details. And not satisfied i just google my hologram code and found quite many sites asking about or informing the code. 5mfwd r8ucu d6n7t.
I believe soon we will able just to google the code and found hundred of people looking for the same FAKE !@%!@% code!! =(
SO sad.

Now I’m welling to tell as much people as I can to spot fake GHD stylers. Mine was in a GREAT HUGE black box “ghd IV styler” “limited edition styling set” and even came with and hair spray “thermal protector for normal-fine hai”. Man I believe it’s water and the inside straw don’t eve go deep to the bottom of the bottle.

I will soon post the pictures of the product, box, etc online.
Any info please fill free to contact me.

Going to ebay to get some help (hope).

I have recently bought some ghds which i have since found out to be fake.They have 2 different numbers, one on the label attached to the flex which is the same as the one some of you have quoted and one on the hologram The payment went through pay pal so i thought they would be able to help but when i contacted them they said the only way they could help would be if i had not received the ghds.They do not accept any responsability for fake or inferior products so unfortunatly i am left with ghds i cannot use and out of pocket financialy.So anyone hoping to get a refund from pay pal forget it. Lesson learnt !! I have since purchased from an official website.

I ordered some pink ghd’s from a website (which no longer exists – I checked today!! )as a Christmas present for my daughter. They share the hologram code 5mfwd r8ucu d6n7t so I know for certain, after reading all the messages above, that they are fake ones. I paid via Paypal so am hoping that I might get some of my money back. Feel so angry that I was sucked into ordering these, the website was so professional and looked genuine too. What an idiot I feel!! Totally gutted.

Hi Sami, i recieved a GHD off ebay and it had the same serial number as yours quoted 561u1 cebzu 5g0ab. It had this code and another that was different on the power cable.

I think the only way to get a real one is from a salon or striaght off GHD.

Hi everyone, I too have been ripped off and ordered the GHD pink straighteners from what looked like an authentic GHD reseller. They were clever and used the GHD logo and branding colours. The website itself is also a .co.uk website. They did take out more money than I authorised too and unfortunately, it was a debit card and not credit. I have contacted Trading Standards and basically, there is nothing I can do to get my money back and will just chalk it up as a bad experience and will only buy GHD’s from the hairdresser now. When the shabby product finally arrived there was an invoice in there and I decided to look up the company name, which translates to a Chinese swear word! Sorry for anyone else in the same situation as me, but guess we will all have learnt by now!
