Misikko Hana Elite Flat Iron
Which is one of the reasons that I keep it so short. If I have to go out, I simply put some goop on my hands run it through the roots and tszuj (jujj, jooj, whatever) my hair and if it doesn’t do what I want, I just hang my head upside down and spray the roots with hairspray. Otherwise, I simply wash & blowdry without even running a brush through it.
If it weren’t for my hairdresser Shana at Blown Away in North Palm Beach I’d probably look like a street urchin. It’s for THAT reason that I asked her to review the Misikko Hana Elite flat iron that they wanted to send to ME to review. It’s too dangerous in my hands…LOL. I’ll leave THIS ONE to the professionals.
It seems that not only has Shana been using the Hana Elite flat iron at home, but it’s been in use at the salon since she received it.
Great on both dry AND damp hair, this 100% ceramic iron has mirror smooth plates and offers some of the best heat distribution. One of Shana’s favorite features is the LED indicator light, that stays on when the iron is heating up blinks when it gets to working temperature, so there’s NO GUESSING. The wide plates makes it so much easier for her to get her clients hair done in less time.
She was even able to use it on MY SHORT HAIR without issue. Just LOOK.
While this the Misikko Hana Elite is a HOME product, it has stood up to Shana using it in the salon on a daily basis (even though I TOLD her it was supposed to be reviewed for home use).

Overall, Shana thought this was a good solid flat iron. The only negative was the price at $239.99, since she says that she’s used professional products that cost less. However, she’s STILL using this in her salon so….

These flat irons are JUNK!! Replaced my wife’s 6 yr old CHI with a Hana Elite Flat iron 2 yrs ago. Well it broke 2 months outside of a 2 yr warranty….. HUH and guess what Misikko doesn’t care. So a $250 flat iron that works no better than a CHI is only good for 2 years? CHI’s are only $99 and last for 6 yrs. As a family we have/had 2 CHI’s, my wife’s that broke 6yrs old, and my daughters that happens to be about 6 yrs old and still working.
Thank you
I just received my Hana Elite Flat iron, and it seems like junk to me, too. I have only tried it once, and it seems to do nothing. My daughter also tried it once, and said she doesn’t like it at all. I will try once more to be sure, but looks like a return in the offing. Don’t waste your money!
Thank you CP for the warning. It was a wonderful Palm Beach hairdresser who reviewed this (and continues to use it a year later in her business), but we always appreciate both sides of the story.
Where can I purchase the Hana Elite Flat irons? Whenever I try to pull up the misikko website it doesn’t come up.
I loved this hair straightener. It did brake on my 3 years in. Always did the job and made my hair look like a million bucks. Totally buying another.
