Is this an actual cortex curling iron or is it a knock off?

It is a real Cortex. It's nice too! I love it!!! Nothing has ever made a curl stay in my hair, until this... It's awesome.

Yes it is actual. I think there was an electrical problem with the one I got. I have ordered another one thru someone else.

Yes it is, mine does. Its not noticeable but i think its suppose to benefit in the curling process.

Its real hair. You can flat iron it. Its enough hair to practice with but its not a ton of hair. Regardless, its a good way to practice if someone doesn't have a lot of hair.

I believe it is. I threw the box away but the curler has the imprint Shu Uemura on it. I do not have my old one to compare it to but it does curl my eye lashes well.

Its most likely a blend. It curled appropriately, I've owned synthetic blends, it didn't act like those. Be aware of the thinness most. It also has lots of gray stands. My original suggestion was that it was too thin. It read as real hair to me. Just for infants or something. I'd suggest getting something with more weight. (2-3 packs)

It definitely is not! When I wrote the review I wasn't sure, but after comparing it to my old one I'm sure it's fake. It has visible differences, and pinched rather than curled....would not recommend to anyone!

Frankly, yes these are all "knockoffs" of eachother, there is no "real one"....many many manufacturers producing almost identical versions. Most of them are awesome. I suspect you were very happy with yours once you saw how it performed, but it is very likely if you ordered another one today it wouldnt be exactly alike, you'd notice tiny differences.

I don't know nor can I tell if this is the real one. I have Revlon eye lash curler and I curled the Shu Uemura on one side and the Revlon on the other and I noticed a big difference. And I also noticed that the my lash curled with Shu stayed curled until the next morning. I was skeptical at first but now I am a fan. My husband noticed that my lashes were my defined. My lashes are tough to curl, I don't know if it's because I am Asian. I know a lot of Asian women have a tough time curling their lashes, I am one of them. If you order I hope it works for you like it does for me. If not, the nice thing is you can return it. I don't know nor can I tell if this is the real one.

Its fake, a tiny hint of heat and the hair melts offf. But gor the price i was bery pleased, the hair feels very real and you can comb it and the curls will still be bouncy.

It's not a knock off. But this is an extreme razor. Get the Vision instead. It's their best razor and is more adjustable.

As far as I know they are original...like the ones I bought in Debenhams with the "lifetime guarantee" (which isn't a lifetime guarantee unless you remember to register them when you buy them)...they are really good curling irons...we love them...great result.But if you do buy them from this company you will need to buy an American adaptor as surprisingly they do not come with the adaptor. I was furious about this as my daughter wanted to use them on Christmas day as they were a present but she couldn't because of the plug....

I'm a hairstylist, I bought one for a client and she seems to love it.. warranty and box and flat iron looked legit to me.. hope this helps! There is a black one with ceramic plates that everyone has loved as well

It is the real thing. But mine came in a couple days with Prime. As long as it says Furminator on it, you are good. I saw some rip offs on Amazon. They didn't have he name on it. I bought the yellow one. They gamut in price by the size.

I bought it and have been using it.. it smells just like the real one and makes your hair feel just like the real one. I have no complaints! I am pretty sure that it is the real deal! I have bought it from salons before and I see no difference in the two :)

Yes, I'd say it was identical, and I am so surprised by the negative reviews. All I can think is that perhaps a batch was manufactured that had a defective part. I've had mine for almost 2 months & use it every day. (I use it on footies that pill, so I need it daily for them.) I bought it for use on sweaters, and it's the best sweater shaver I've had, including one that plugged into the wall.
