Worth the price

I've had this flat iron for five or six years now and it still works wonders. It doesn't get as hot as it did when I first bought it, but that might be a good thing. The one major downfall of this iron is that the plastic sides aren't curved, which means that you really have to watch your ears and neck. I've gotten many a nasty burn when I haven't been careful enough.
If you don't have super long, coarse hair, get the smaller version. This one is gets to be really heavy, but I think the larger plates are an advantage if you have more hair.

ive had this iron for about 2 years and its still working pretty good. I have extremely thick hair, i still have to blow dry a bit first and then iron, but the sapphire makes a difference. it makes my hair alot straighter and keeps the style alot longer. It does get very hot though, and the comb kept ripping my hair so i got rid of the comb part of it. it works better if you use it on dry or damp hair, especially when you have wild curly unruly hair like mine.
good

i had the infrashine flat iron for 2 years, it was great.I wanted to try something new. This one is good, and it doesnt rip out your hair as much as people say it does.
Best iron I've used yet

This iron is a savior. I have used several irons and this one is superior by far. I have very thick hair and it used to take me 45 minutes to straighten my hair. This Solano iron cut my straightening time to 20 min. I love the comb on the iron also. Highly recommend!
This iron sucks!

I am very unhappy with this flat iron. I have purchased SOOO many flat irons...and this one is not that great. It pulls your hair, and it isn't smooth. Even when I removed the detachable comb, it still pulls your hair. I thought with ALLLL the research I did and ALLLL the good reviews I heard that this would be a great flat iron. It sucks!!! Among the flat irons I have purchased, the BION still is the best. I did like the Futura but it loses it's heating ability and breaks apart after a year. All in all, this Solano flat iron SUCKS. I wonder if it is even REAL people writing these reviews! I'm shipping it back today! I'm sooo unhappy with it that this even sucks that I have to PAY for the shipping.

The flat iron works great. Only problem can't get to close to roots because burns. Otherwise works perfect. Great buy.
Fabulous Flat Iron!

I have used numerous flat irons in the past, the Sapphire is far superior to any of the others.....
pricing is excellent as this product is almost double the price in local retail outlets....
Great Iron

I've had this iron for over 2 and a half years, and it still works great! I've never had a problem with it, and it heats up much faster than irons that I've had in the past. It leaves my hair extremely smooth and shiny, and although it is a bit on the heavy side, you end up getting a work out while doing your hair. It was well worth the money I spent on it.
Excellent Flat Iron

This will be my second Solano Flat Iron and I can't say enough about it. It does not damage your hair and it gets it straight in 1/3 of the time it takes when you buy cheaper products. At first, I was worried about spending so much money but now I can't imagine not having it around. My hair is thick and wavy and this iron straightens it out in a flash! I am ready to purchase the hairdryer now!

This flat iron works okay, it leaves my hair a little frizzy and it takes a little longer to warm up than my old Solana Iron
Pulls hair, not hot

I have had a Solano flat iron for five years and loved it. One day it quit heating, so I ordered another Solano flat iron. The plates on the new one aren't as smooth as my previous one, and pulled my hair when I straightened it. It also didn't get as hot as my old one. So I had to go over my hair a few times.
I've ordered a different version of the Solano, hoping that this one will be better.
Can't give this iron a thumbs up yet

I've used this iron for a few weeks now and there are a few things that i notice that just aren't all "that". One of them is when I pull my hair thru it, it snaps on the end of the iron and i think i actually have more hair being pulled out than when i used my regular ol' remington flat iron - so that kinds sucks. The other thing is that there's no temperature gauge and sometimes the heat feels too low and i have to go over certain areas more than once. the directions say that there's a temperature gauge that you can adjust but heck if i've been able to find it! either that or i'm just reading the directions wrong. either way, those are the only two things i don't like about the iron. for the price that it is and for how often it snags my hair, i don't think i'd buy it again. I'm hoping at some point, the iron will get enough "hair grease" on it to smooth it some and maybe that will stop the snagging on the ends. who knows. I haven't yet had a chance to check the dual voltage portion yet.. i still have a few weeks before we head to germany.. i'll report on that when i get back from the trip.
A fantastic find.

I purchased the Solano Sapphire Flat Iron specifically for my upcoming trip to London. It's dual voltage and I thought it would be great for travel. I tried it out before the trip and haven't stopped using it since. It has now replaced my all-time favorite, the Maxi-Glide, which I have raved about non-stop since its purchase. I have very long, thick, naturally wavy hair which can go berserk at any moment, especially through humidity. In an earlier review it was mentioned that the detachable comb caused damage to hair. If you add a few drops of Biosilk, or any other silicone based hair oil or gel, to hair, comb through, and with each section flat ironed, make sure to brush or comb through any tangles, the detachable comb will absolutely not cause any damage. This Solano Flat Iron makes my hair very sleek, and the sleeker, the shinier. It even retains this smoothness through a night's sleep. It is definitely worth every penny. You'll love it.
AWESOME!!

This is my second sapphire. I have frizzy hair that is unmanagable. I have tryed all kinds of irons and the sapphire is the only one that can tame my out of control hair. It even keeps my hair straight in bad weather (and the humidity I face every day living in Florida). I am 100% satisfied and all my friends love it too.

I had the original Sapphire iron since 1998 and it lasted almost 8 years. Best iron out there, well it broke!!! I purchased a new one, and it is completely different. I am not sure when they changed it, but I don't like it at all compared to the old one. I can never understand why they always change the good stuff. It runs through my hair like sand paper. It did make it straight, but it didn't last through the humidity or even laying on it, like my old one did. I wish Solano wouldn't have changed their product... I would have stuck with them for years to come. I now purchased a Sedu, and it is so much better.. I just hope it can last as long as my sapphire did!!
Love it

I have now had this straightening iron for 6 years and it is still going strong. I have tried friend's straighteners (chi, ceramics, etc.) and not been even close to as happy as I am with the solano. I LOVE THIS STRAIGHTENER!!!!! All my friends that have gotten ready at my house and tried it out end up buying it as well. I hightly recommend this straightener to anyone!!!
