Product Rating: 5 My hair loves this flat iron!!!
Reviewer: Charlene from Carmel, NY  Tue May 17 2005

I've must have spent a million dollars on hair products to make my hair straight. But finally, a co-worker told me about the Solano Sapphire and I bought it immediately and have been straightening my hair every day! It used to take one hour to do my hair but now I'm down to 30 minutes. It really has been a life saver for my confidence. Once you get used to working with this flat iron, the possibilities are endless to the styles you can achieve. This was an excellent investment, I love it!!!

Product Rating: 5 Worth the investment
Reviewer: Meg from Miami, FL  Thu Apr 28 2005

This iron is incredible and is definitely worth the investment. You'll be glad you didn't throw your money away on another worthless $30 iron. I love it.

Product Rating: 2 you can do better
Reviewer: julie from Maryland  Mon Apr 25 2005

Ive have pretty fine and easy to manage hair and ive had about three of these irons because after a while they just wear out. the design is also really hard to get used to and sometimes hair gets stuck where the two parts cross the striaghteners that are shaped like a v instead of an x like this one are better. After using my sister and friends chi's and other brands that are around the same price, i realized it was time for me to get a new brand, you can do much better for your money.

Product Rating: 5 WORTH IT =)

Product Rating: 5 great to do business with
Reviewer: Betty from California  Sat Apr 09 2005

Folica is a great and easy place to do business with. I received the product very quickly and it was shipped very nice and safe. I found the product for a little less on another website 3-4 days after my purchase and Folica refunded the difference to me without any hesitation and very quickly.

I highly recommend this particular flat iron over any other that I have tried. Folica is great and I will definitely use them again.

Product Rating: 2 NOT WORTH IT
Reviewer: Amanda from Canada  Fri Apr 08 2005

I hate this straighter, it is so hard to hold and doesnt get hot enough. It also seems to stick to my hair, trust me this is not worth getting

Product Rating: 1 bad
Reviewer: ramiza hajdarevic from canada  Fri Apr 01 2005

I am using properly but my stayelist said this iron is too hot and my hair is fine I am not supposed to use this iron

Product Rating: 2 ouch!
Reviewer: Pat   Fri Apr 01 2005

I had this iron for about two years. My hair would always get stuck in the joint where the two plates come together... very painful as it ripped out a few stands. Also, it burned our countertop when it fell over on its side (v side down), so be careful to keep it balanced up.

Product Rating: 5 GREAT PRODUCT
Reviewer: TOMASZ   Wed Mar 23 2005

AWESOME PRODUCT IAM A HAIRSTYLIST AND THIS PRODUCT DOES WONDERS FOR LONG THICK HAIR. AND WHEN THE JOB IS DONE HAIR IS SLEEK AND SHINY.

Product Rating: 5 Solano sapphire flat irons are the best!
Reviewer: Lori   Fri Mar 04 2005

I absolutely love my Solano Sapphire flat iron! I have REALLY wavy/curly hair, and this product takes it all out, leaving wonderfully soft, straight, shiny hair!

Folica shipped it quickly...and free, too! Thanks!

Product Rating: 4 great.great great...!!!!..
Reviewer: lindamarie from long island, n.y.  Mon Feb 28 2005

i was using Hot Tools flat iron for a few years and thought it did a good job, until i had my hair done at a salon and they used this one. ( 2 1/4 salano ) I thought it came out so great because it was done by a professional, but when I orded my ownand tried it i realized it was the iron !! It cut my ironing time down from one hour, to 40 min. and I expect it to get less as I get use to using it. ( I've only used it once so far ) my only problem with this iron, is that it gets my hair so straight, that I can't even get it to ' feather' back on the sides like I usually wear it. ( boy, I never thought I would ever say that my hair was too straight !!! )Anyone that says they don't like this iron is either using it wronge ( one slow 'swipe' to each section ) or is using it on damp hair, or is not using the correct products on their hair before use. I would recomend this iron to all fellow 'hair slaves' !!!!

Product Rating: 5 completely satisfied
Reviewer: Danielle from New York City  Sat Feb 26 2005

My previous flat iron was a Chi. Unfortunately, my Chi was knocked off a counter and broke. I didn't think twice about getting anything but another Chi to replace my out of commission flat iron. But, once I started researching the folica website, I decided to take a chance on an alternate brand and chose the solano sapphire. I was skeptical but pleasantly surprised at how much I prefer this iron over my old Chi. The comb brushes my hair as I straighten thus significantly reducing time. Also, the solano sapphire reaches higher temps than I remember the Chi doing. In hindsight, I'm actually happy that my old Chi broke because I am much more satisfied with the solano sapphire.

Product Rating: 3 hmm
Reviewer: bianca ahmadi from california  Fri Feb 25 2005

I had this iron a few years ago and like the older version better. This one wasn't as tough and it didn't do what I needed. I am going to try and make my old one work. Older is sometimes better than NEW. Just made better and stuff.

Product Rating: 5 Best Flat Iron Ever!
Reviewer: Amy from North Carolina  Wed Feb 16 2005

This is the best flat iron in the world! Before this flat iron, I was NEVER able to wear my hair straight; now I wear it straight everyday! It is so easy to use. My hair is VERY frizzy and VERY thick! If this works for me, it can work for anyone!!! Amy (North Carolina)

Product Rating: 5 wonderful
Reviewer: Liz from Pennsylvania  Wed Feb 09 2005

This straightener is GREAT! It smooths out my hair and takes away all the frizz without leaving it dry and damaged. My hair feels silky and smooth and not at all straw-like. I definitely would recommend this flat iron.

Product Rating: 4 Best Straightner on the Market and DURABLE
Reviewer: Suz Yam from Saratoga, CA  Fri Jan 14 2005

I've tried all the other straightners that are available at any Beauty Store/Drug Store and in no way do they compare to the Solano Sapphire Flat Iron! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THOSE CHEAP ONES BY CONAIR, REVLON, ETC! Not only do they not produce desireable results, they fall apart! The Solano Sapphire Flat Iron might seem a bit pricy but it is well worth the cost considering it works so well and will last so long. It heats up to a temperature higher than the others which is why it produces such smooth and silkly results without the fried and frizzy damage. I've used the Solano Sapphire Flat Iron EVERY DAY for the past 4 YEARS and I've dropped it hundreds of times and it still works as though it were brand new! Please, don't waste your time and money on any straightner that costs less than $90! Invest your money on a quality straightner because you'll save much more money in the long run and look 10 times better! My hair is naturally wavy/curly and people actually think my hair is naturally straight after I've used this Flat Iron! BUY THIS PRODUCT! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

Product Rating: 4 A Very Good One
Reviewer: Kaitlyn from Connecticut  Tue Dec 28 2004

Before this straightener I used a hot tools which lasted about a year and then broke. I only used it about once a month since i have really curly, thick, frizzy hair. It did the job but took me as least 2 hours. When it broke I decided to slurge on this solano. I've used it about four times and it took me a little less time to do then the hot tools. As I was going along and straightening, I didnt think it was coming out very well but when I was finished, it looked awesome. It made my hair the straightest it has ever been. The only negative thing I would say about it is that it would be better if the temperature settings were adjustable. Other than that so far it is serving me well.

Product Rating: 5 A terrific product
Reviewer: Susan   Thu Dec 23 2004

I have used this product once before and fell in love with it. My boyfriend then gave it to me for Christmas. I have only used it once since it came because he had to wrap it. However, this product is amazing. Other flat irons burn my hair and leave it feeling dry. This flat iron leaves the moisture in my hair so, that it ends up soft and smooth. This is a great product and I would highly recommend it for anyone who needs a flat iron. They best part about it is how quickly it works.

Product Rating: 4 Solano Sapphire Flat Iron
Reviewer: Jan from Kona  Mon Dec 20 2004

My hair is thick and really frizzy and this product works well on my hair. A lot better than the Conair and Wigo products I've tried.
