Product Rating: 4 Great purchase
Reviewer: Jackie from Orlando, Florida  Tue Oct 30 2007

Since my old dryer died before my new one arrived, I bought a cheap dryer. When it arrived, I did a side-by-side comparison and hands-down, the Solia one is much better. The quality of the materials is better, the sound of the motor is better and it dried my hair much quicker. It did take some getting used to the placement of the buttons, but it's no big deal. It also is a little big and heavy, but it's also a full-size dryer so it's to be expected. I'm just trying to get used to the size. It's powerful without sounding or feeling that way--dries quickly. My hair is colored with highlights, thin, fine and has a little wave, but I need to dry it for body or else it's limp. My hair was shiny to begin with so I didn't notice a difference there, but my hairdresser asked me what I was doing since she said my hair was in better condition. All that was different was the new Solia dryer! The Solia dryer is a good buy... I was convinced once I compared it side-by-side. I'm very pleased with it and definitely recommend it! This is my second purchase with Folica and again I'm happy with my order.

Product Rating: 3 Not as good as I hoped
Reviewer: Emmy   Tue Oct 30 2007

After reading the reviews, I bought this dryer expecting a lot---especially shorter drying time. I have thick wavy shoulder length hair that I'd been drying with a drugstore 1875-watt dryer. I suspect that the people who said their drying time was reduced were using drugstore brands of lower wattage before purchasing the Solia, because my drying time is exactly the same. The air from the Solia comes out with much more force, but nevertheless the drying time is not reduced. My hair comes out maybe a bit better, but I'm glad I didn't spend a fortune for this, or I'd be feeling very ripped off. I must say I feel a bit like The Emperor's New Clothes---I definitely do not see the excellent results others have written about.

Product Rating: 2 Not what I was hoping for
Reviewer: Marcella   Tue Oct 30 2007

I was looking for a hair dryer that would "make a difference". This isn't the one for me. If you are looking for one that blows a lot of air without the choice of making it just blow "a little", then you will be happy with it. It is a hurricane! Also, the long cord drives me crazy! You could vacuum your house while blow drying your hair. As far as being "ionic", I can see no difference in my hair. Good luck in your search! Mine continues!

Product Rating: 4 Great Product
Reviewer: Tracy from Albany, NY  Mon Oct 29 2007

This hairdryer is well worth the money. It dries the hair faster than any dryer I have ever used. I would highly recommend this product.

Product Rating: 5 A good choice
Reviewer: Vrushali Bhadbhade from Ohio  Mon Oct 29 2007

I was a little worried before I ordered this hairdryer cause I never heard of it before but when I read the reviews, I took a chance. And it turned out to be very good. Although it is a little heavy compared to the one I had before(an excellent hairdryer which I bought from Japan and was with me for 10 yrs) but the hairdrying time is reduced to half. It is a very good choice!!

Product Rating: 5 Great Dryer
Reviewer: Happy Mom from California  Sun Oct 14 2007

I am a mom of 2 with little time to get ready. This dryer dried my hair in half the time it normally takes! It left it smoother and shinier than usual, even when I am due for highlights and my hair is at its worst! Highly recommended!

Product Rating: 5 Wow , I love this product...
Reviewer: mik from nyc  Tue Oct 09 2007

Product Rating: 4 HOT!
Reviewer: Paula from New York  Tue Oct 09 2007

great value - dries my coarse hair really quickly, although, I find the dryer a bit heavy. I would highly recommend this product. Also, nice color, while not really important thought I'd mention it.

Product Rating: 5 Solia 1875W is a terrific hair dryer!
Reviewer: Anonymous from Norfolk, VA  Tue Oct 09 2007

This is the best hair dryer I have ever owned. It is quiet, dries my hair quickly, leaves it soft and silky and has made me a believer that there is a difference in expensive salon dryers over the drug store variety, a difference well worth paying for!

Love it! Also purchased the Babyliss Pro TT. Not nearly as good as this.

Product Rating: 5 Very nice
Reviewer: Leilah from Mustang Ok  Fri Oct 05 2007

Lite and easy to use. No frizz.

Reviewer: meredith curry from MO  Sat Sep 29 2007

I was so excited to get this hair dryer. I can tell a 100% difference.

I have thick and wavy hair. It used to take 10 minutes to blow dry my hair, and even with a drugstore ionic dryer it would still have frizzes. Now I can blow dry my hair in 5 minutes and the frizzies are laying low and I notice more of a shine.

Product Rating: 5 I love this!!
Reviewer: robin watson from robindoc5@hotmail.com  Sat Sep 29 2007

I have been thru many blow dryers, frankly I would let my hair dry naturally most days because of how long it takes me to blow dry my hair. I have a lot of hair, and would take about 20 minutes to dry all the way....toooo much maintenance for me. I teach aerobics and am a personal trainer, so it was okay not to be perfectly groomed everyday...I now don't mind spending the 10 minutes to dry and straighten my hair. I chose this because I bought the Solia straigtning iron the week before and loooooved it . I am glad I did. Now if I could just get my daughter to leave it alone.

Product Rating: 2 hated it
Reviewer: kris from nj  Wed Sep 26 2007

i bought this and returned it a few weeks later. i was excited about this hairdryer after reading all the reviews and the price was great! but when i used it - it made my hair SO FRIZZY especially in the ends. i never had a hairdryer do that before. and when you use it on high- is so strong that my hair was blowing all over the place!! im going to go back and use my chi hairdryer.

Product Rating: 5 She Loved It!
Reviewer: Christine   Tue Sep 25 2007

I purchased this hair dryer for a friend of mine who has never spent more than $19 for a dryer one would find in the drug store. She has two little girls and spends so much time and resources on other people she rarely treats herself. Her old dryer was being held to it's cord by duck tape! It was time to make a change and I know it seems like a strange gift but she needed one and I wanted her to see how much better a high quality, professional, ionic dryer work on her hair!! Now, all she talks about is how much she loves her hair! She actually makes time to style her hair now because this Solia does such a great job!

Product Rating: 5 The best dryer
Reviewer: Melissa from Texas  Sun Sep 23 2007

This is the best dryers that I have ever owned. It is fast and leaves your hair looking healthy. It's really easy to handle and quiet. I would recommend this dryer to anyone.

Product Rating: 5 Pleased with my Purchase!
Reviewer: Reece from Atlanta GA  Thu Sep 20 2007

I have long fine hair that tangles easily, and have found the solia to have improved this, as well as added smoothness and shine, and drying time is decreased to my surprise. This is the first "grown up" hairdryer I have ever purchased, even though I spend hundreds per year at the salon and on products...I wish I would have found Solia sooner. It is ergonomic, feels great in the hand, like a quality appliance, and the cord is professionally long. The internet...I love it, and I love my Solia!

Product Rating: 4 Amateur Blow Dryer of Hair
Reviewer: anonymous from bowie, MD  Mon Sep 17 2007

I purchased this model to use on my daughter's hair. It is very efficient and I had to get a lesson on how to use it. The professional stylist who demonstrated the proper techniques said that the blow dryer was "fine" and quite "good".

I like that it isn't terribly noisy, it's not terribly heavy. Most importantly, though, it dries efficiently.

I don't like where the on/off buttons are because it's very easy to switch the buttons off or on while blow drying, especially if you are a novice like me.

Also, there is no where on the box that mentions the Ceramic detail. My daughter's hair doesn't look glossy or shiny, after use, unless I put a product on it that induces that characteristic.

Overall, though, this is a good value for the money because I do have a very cheap blow dryer that doesn't compare with this one. It's very noisy and takes forever to dry my daughter's hair.
