Context:
A beautiful high gloss straightener with 235C salon temperature performance* that is ready to use.
Is 'salon temperature performance' a hyperbole?
What is 'high gloss' and 'ready tu use' ? Is 'ready to use' a simile?
Thank you !
A hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration. If it said something like "volcanic temperature" maybe that would be a hyperbole instead.
Similes are a kind of comparison, specifically one that uses 'like' or 'as'. If it had said 'as glossy as obsidian' that would be an example of simile.
I'm not sure that there are any rhetorical figures here.
