Leaves your hair FLAT

I have very thick wavy hair. Because this iron is so wide and the plates aren't curved it makes me look like I have 1/3 of the hair I actually have. It makes it so dull. Yeah it works. It'll flatten your hair and leave it completely lifeless and FLAT. There are better irons out there, like the FHI and Kenta which straighten your hair and leave the volume intact.
Im in LOVE

i love this flat iron. i bought mine 5 years ago and never had one problem. its my first and only flat iron. i bought about 6 more for the ladies in my family and everyone loves it. all have differnt hair types and it works wonders. I have tried other brands that friends have bought but none compare to the solano sapphire. my poor flat iron has just died on me but there is no way im switching to an other brand. It doesnt fry the ends of my hair. after 5 years of using it, it leaves my hair shiny and smooth.
Best Iron i ever used

I have very curly hair and i straighten it everyday. I have used several different brands of flat irons before and i never found one that worked good. The last iron i used was the chi it cost about $120 and my hair looked so damaged and it was still puffy, people couldnt even tell that i would straighten my hair. So when i found this online for around $80 i was kind of skeptical because i have never seen an iron that cheap so i wasnt sure how well it would work. I read many reviews before i finally decided to buy and i am so happy i bought it. This is the BEST flat iron i ever used. My hair stays flat all day even if my hair gets wet from rain or snow it still stays flat. My hair looks healthier and its so soft and silky. The true test will be when the summer comes to see if it will stand up the the humidity. But so far it has been wonderful, i have no complaints about the iron at all!!
Best Flat Iron ever!!!

This is the best flat iron ever. It is better than a Chi. My friend had this one and I used it at her house and I ran home and bought it immediately and had it expressed shipped to my house. It works so well, and makes your hair soft and straight. No more frizzies. It really changes the texture of your hair and it lasts all day. My hair has never looked healthier and straighter. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone and everyone. I could not live without it.
Had mine for 6 years and still works great!

I love my straightener. I have really thick wavy hair and I hate it. I always get great comments when I use it. My sisters would always use it and I just bought one for my friend awhile ago. It's great, I recommend it to EVERYONE!
Highly recommended tool!

I have the thickest, most frizziest and curliest hair ever. Basically, it's a big pain to deal with. There are so many ceramic straighteners out there that it's a gamble with your money. After being recommended to this tool, I purchased it and was really happy with it. It gets the job done and leaves my hair straight and silky smooth.
I love it, and would recommend it to someone looking for a decently priced straightener.
Pretty Darn Good

I gave the product an above average rating-I bought it and my daughter loved it-so you know who got it in the end-she did. She likes the comb on the iron it is easier to work with.
i heart it :D

I have naturally straight hair, but I still use my iron everyday to smooth it out and style my bangs. This iron was given to me by my cousin who has very curly and frizzy hair and swore by it. However, because it is a little big she decided to purchase a smaller Solano iron. I think it's amazing though becasue it heats up extremely quick. There isn't a temperature control on it, but it gets very hot so be careful. It has never snagged my hair and it always leaves my hair shiny. I do reccomend you use a heat protectant on your hair before using any iron. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it's big. But it gets the job done and if you have <b>long</b> curly/frizzy/wavy/or even straigh hair...this is a great iron for the price. =)
Love it!

I have really thick hair and kept stealing my friends straightener, she had this one. I finially bought my own since i'm headed to college and I LOVE it. My hair doesn't get stuck in at all, unlike the thiner model and It can straighten my hair in even thick chuncks. It even makes it smooth and shiny. Also if you turn it as you get to the end of your hair, it will flip the ends for you.
Great flat iron for Europe or US

I purchased this because I was going to Italy and France and also needed a better flat iron. This has been fantastic. No problems in Europe and now I use it regularly and am so pleased. I think it damages hair less because you only need to go over hair one time and the hot temperature works perfectly. My hair is less damaged than lower temperature flat irons. As usual Folica is a great company to do buisness with. (I took the comb off the flat iron because it is easier to use for me)
I LOVE ITT!!!

This straighter is amazinggg !! It is 5 years old and still going strong the only thing is it has a bare wire. I am purchasing another one tomorrow!!!!!! I cant wait!!!!
ps. the reason that its pulling your hair out is because your not doing it right. Your need to flip it over and the comb has to face the ground.
6 years old and still love it

I have had my solano sapphire iron for 6 years now and I love it the best investment ever don't be fooled by the fake ones on tv you pay more and they don't do what they claim. at least not in the amount of time they say they do. It normally take about 15 min in the am to do all my hair, and three times as long as it does with other brands. I love my solano so much that I'm purchasing a new one to have as a back up so that I'm never with out it since my sisters and friends are always asking to borrow mine.

This is a great iron. I highly advise people NOT to spend money on Flat Irons that you can purchase in your everyday retail stores..they are not worth the money, no matter how low the price. Invest in a Solano and you will most def. get your $$$'s worth. Take it from me...I have hard to tame hair and this is the only Flat Iron that gives me perfectly straight, shiney, and flawless hair!
LOVE IT!

Having long, thick, curly hair I had searched for a long time for a flat iron that would really straighten my hair. I found it in this flat iron. I had my mine for 6 years and it worked wonderfully until my dog chewed through the cord. I immediatley purchased another one, I cant live without it! Several of my friends had borrowed it from me and ended up going out and purchasing their own. I would recommed this product to anyone!!
Not worth it! (frequent flat iron user)

I don't recommend anyone getting this flat iron, first of all it doesn't have a temperture control setting. So it doesn't get hot enough. I'm use to using the large width flat irons but this one was very difficult to work with, and my hair kept getting caught up between the plates, even with the comb off. But i would not recommend this flat iron to anyone, unless you've only used the store bought flat irons, which suck anyway. That's the only way this would be a better flat iron. Otherwise, spend your money on a better flat iron. One tip, make sure it has a temperture control setting, this really helps.
Not pleased!

I recently purchased this flat iron, and came to realize that i wasn't happy with the product. First of all, there's no temperture setting, just an on and off button. My previous flat iron was 2" and i thought the ease of use was okay. This one is rather difficult to use and my hair kept getting caught up in the iron. Overall, i don't recommend this to anyone. I ended up buying another one that works a lot better.

I purchased this product in 2000. Uses it twice a week...and still going strong in 2007. Made in Italy..excellent quality.
It plates are in perfect condition, as good as new. The sapphire coating is top quality. No crack or chips. The comb on one end is the best invention EVER! I have long hair to my waist and due to the attached comb and the 2 1/4 in plates, it takes me no more than 10 mins to straighten my hair. Love, love, love this product. It's no wonder it's won so many beauty magazine awards!
