Find a local GHD repairer near you

When you request a GHD repair specialist on Airtasker, you’ll get someone who’ll arrive at your doorstep with all the necessary tools for fixing your trusty hair straightener. They can assess and troubleshoot your device, recommend repair options, and as a last resort, tell you when it’s better to buy a new hair iron instead. 

Though the specifics may vary from Tasker to Tasker, here’s what you can expect from a typical GHD hair iron repairs job: 

Tools and equipment

When your Tasker arrives, they’ll bring all the necessary tools for GHD repair. These may include a multimeter, temperature tester, solder, thermal paste, heat-resistant silicone sealant, and a heat-proof mat. Since your Tasker might need additional tools or spare parts for the repair, it’s best to indicate your GHD model in the task post. This helps them prepare ahead of time.

GHD hair straightener assessment and troubleshooting

Even if you’ve put the details in your task post, expect your Tasker to do their own assessment of your hair iron. They may run a few tests in order to determine the problem and isolate the part that needs repair or replacement. Taskers may also dismantle the hair straightener as part of this process.

GHD hair iron repair and replacement

After assessment and troubleshooting, your Tasker proceeds to the next step: repairing or replacing the faulty parts. This can include replacing a cable, heater element, or thermal fuse. If the part they need isn’t available, your Tasker may need some time to order it from the GHD shop on your behalf. 

If your hair iron is beyond repair, or if the spare parts and labour will cost you more than a new iron, it might be better to get a new one instead. This is especially important if further damage or repairs will make your GHD unsafe to use. Feel free to ask your Tasker about this before they proceed with using replacement parts on your hair iron.
