Best Flat Iron Ever!
Reviewer:

My hairstylist recommended this flat iron after hearing me complain about all the other ones I've tried. I'm so glad she did-this is the greatest. It makes my hair so soft and smooth. It's light weight and easy to handle. Thanks for a great product!
Solano is for VERY curly hair!

I at first had ordered the solia thinking that because it was more expensive and had better reviews,would naturally, be the better flat iron. However, I have very culry, coarse hair and have had no luck with "excellent" results. The solia was just another dissappointment. So, I exchanged it for the solano. Wow! This flat iron actually does what it is suppossed to do. I have cut straitening time by at least 10 minutes and have alot more shine. I do think hair products help, but this is the best iron I have ever tried. Don't be fooled by the more expensive irons!
Not what I expected!

My sister was the one who introduced me to the sapphire, however she had the 2nd to the biggest one. It was too heavy for me, otherwise worked great. I purchased this one thinking that everything was going to be the same except for the weight. WRONG..the plates seemed different. It pulled my hair and did not straightened my hair quite like the bigger one.I immediately spoke w/ a representative from folica. They informed me of another product & I am very happy w/ the new one.
Really good iron

Sometimes need some hair product to help straighten, but works quickly and effciently, and stays straight.

This is my second straightener! I love it! I have had a Chi, but like this one much better. My hair is very thick and wavy, but you don't know it after I use the straightener.
love

I had the solano flat iron years ago, and somehow lost it...I saw it on your website and bought it again. I love it!!!! It makes my hair so straight and shiny. I really like the comb along side of the plate, it totally gives me the look I was looking for. It doesn't make your hair look stringy like some other flat irons do either. I absolutely love this flat iron!!
Broke after one year

Funny that I got a request to review this product that I purchased one year ago, as it just broke two days ago. The push down handle snapped off and the clamp wouldn't close.
Wider model is better!

I have the wider model (love it) and have been using it for 3 years and decided to try out this model now. Although this model is thinner and lighter, the scissor mechanism is a little bit ackward and if your hair is layered hard to straighten as your reach the end of the strands. If trying to decide between the thicker model and this one, I would get the thick one!
Excellent product!

I bought this flat iron about a month ago, and I absolutely love it! It works wonderfully, and was decently priced. It's small plates make it ideal for travel. The only downside is that unless your hair is very thick (like mine) it could fry and damage hair.
Awesome Product

After years of trying to get my hair straight with other tools, this is the one. It works so well, I bought one for my sister. The best part is, it doesn't dry out your hair or make it look distressed. But I also use a heat styling product prior to using so I think this helps. This definitely makes straightening my hair a quick, easy process!
It's ok, but...

I have owned the wider model of this brand and found it to be fantastic. However this model while it straightens well, takes chunks out of my hair. The end of the "scissor" mechanism pulls the hair if you're not extremely careful and when it does, we're not talking one or two hairs, we're talking chunks of hair!
I would recommend to have as an extra for trips because of the size but definitely not for every day use
Timid Straightener

I've always been a little afraid of straighteners - specifically that they would fry my hair and leave it looking like straw. My only other experience was to briefly use a very cheap model for about a week before giving up on it. I've heard great things about the Solano, so I decided that if I were going to try to straighten again, it was worth buying the right tool.
I've been using the iron now for about three weeks, and I've loved the results. With very little effort, my hair becomes shiny and straight for just the look I want, and the look has a lot of staying power. This is especially a challenge in Georgia, where the humidity in August is stifling.

There have a been a few negative comments about this flat iron but I'm here to tell you that this is one of the best flat irons out there. The only reason why this product will ever pull your hair or make it feel dried out, is if (1) you did not put in a leave in conditoner like Thermasilk or (2) You're not taking your time...for example, doing big chunks of hair at a time or (3) your hair is wet/damp/not completely dry.
I've been using the Solano Sapphire Flat Iron for the last 5+ years and I absolutely adore it! It has always been good to me and the best part about it, it has a comb! Unlike the 'newer' flat irons, the solano comes w/ a built in comb that helps guide the hair through the iron. It is very helpful if you have long, thick, coarse hair, like me..haha. That alone is fantastic! Makes flat ironing a breeze....I love it!
awesome

I have previously owned several other hair irons (and although they were less expensive) they could not even compete in performance with the sapphire. My hair is typically frizzy and slightly curly when I let it air dry, and it takes me about 10 minutes with this iron to get it perfect. I have had so many compliments on my hair's sheen and softness. Definately buy this straightener it is worth the money!
Everyone should own one!

As a professional hair stylist for over 10 years, this is the number one item i never leave home without! I had my first sapphire for over 7 years of alost daily use and I work 10 and 12 hour days. The only reason i had to replace it was because i dropped it and cracked it in half. I almost want to have a service for it because it helped me make so much money for so long. There are some changes from smurfette (that was her name) to my new one but mainly for the better. Much lighter and the on/off switch is great as well. Thats all.

ok well i used to use thoose cheap 20 dollar flat iron and whe i was done my hair would be straight but it would look fried and i could have used a 50 dollar shampoo but that didn't matter when i use this product i really like the comb it makes straghtening my hair a lot easier and faster. MY hair comes out nice shiny and healthy so that's pretty much about it.. oh ya the only thing i don't like about it ...it when you get out of the shower and blow dry your hair you have to wait about 20 minutes before using the flat iron because the texture it all funky but i guess that would happen with any flat iron.. butI LOVE MY SOLANO BLUE SAPHIRE FLAT IRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
