I received my Calista Perfecter. I ordered the 1", and the box says it is the 1", but I believe I have received the 1 1/2" Perfecter. I called customer service and they do not have the sizes of the Perfecter. My Calista measures 12" in length and 6" around the bristles. Before I repackage and return could someone measure the original and the smaller Calista. Thank you so much for your time.

I, too, have the original 1 1/2" barrel and measuring around the bristles it comes to 6" in diameter. I'm thinking of getting the smaller one IF the overall diameter of it is A LOT smaller than the larger one. I'll wait until I see the actual presentation before I order.

From looking at the videos with the upcoming TSV, it looks to me that the original is the smaller of the 2 options. I have the original and it measures almost 6" around the plastic bristles. The videos show both, and the larger one seems bigger than the original to me.

Interesting. I'll have to watch the video, because the original (which I have) is a 1 1/2" barrel which is the size of the larger of the two TSVs that are coming up. And they're saying the smaller one is 1" barrel for short hair...so I'm hoping it's a lot smaller in overall diameter than the original.

I posted a question regarding the barrel size of the original Perfecter on the blog post pertaining to the upcoming TSV. Hopefully it will be answered prior to the presentation.
