I bought the Kor 19mm curling wand from a booth at the Houston Galleria. The salesman include the wand stand with my purchase and I got the whole ensemble for $80. The wand itself works really well for my hair so I don't have many bad things to say about it. However, it does heat up to a really high temp; 410 degree F so if you have processed hair or delicate hair that can't handle high temperature well, I don't recommend this tool. I do feel that it is rather pricey for my budget, but I thought the salesman was really nice and that they probably have to work hard in that booth so I don't really think that my purchase was too bad.
