Unbelievably Awful

I cannot believe how bad this iron was. I could not believe the good reviews on this, I was convinced they must be fake ups from the Solia company. Im guessing I got a defective one. As a very experienced flat iron user this was worse than the cheapest Conair. It snagged and would not close together,this was hopeless. As a very curly haired girl, I recommend either a Chi Turbo or the ORIGINAL Sedu ( not the nano, dont get me started on that lol), those two are fabulous irons that can get your hair to look as tho your a naturaly silky straight haired lady.
great straightener if you have THICK hair

i have naturally wavy hair that is extremely thick and i have a lot of it...my biggest problem isn't so much getting it straight (i can do that with a hair dryer), but running this straightener honestly makes you look like you were born with pin straight hair..i love it...i have also used it on occasions where i had to let my hair air dry and was totally unruly and it took me about 20 minutes to straighten my whole head. DEFINITELY recommend it.
awesome!

made my hair silky smooth and straight in just 15 minutes, and i only had to run it through my hair once! compared to my old crappy straightener which took me like 30 minutes to straighten my hair and i had to run it through my hair like 5 times to make sure it was completely straight. LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that its pink! :]
Pretty Pink, Great Heat-Proof Bag, Good Cord & Works Well

I have been searching for a pink flat iron for a while. I've found some but they were well over $100.00 and I got this one on sale. Prior to this iron, I had one of the very first irons available, which wasn't one of the 'good for your hair' irons nor was it a wet-to-dry iron. In terms of the job done, the straightening and anti-frizz factors, this iron works maybe slightly better than my other iron, but my other iron was at least 3" wide at the plates and therefore, I could do a lot more hair at once. Why are all of these new irons so skinny? Also, this one I have a problem getting close to my scalp and the thing gets so hot, you really need to use a comb or brush to handle your hair while using it because you can burn your hand if you touch your hair immediately after it is ironed. I am not giving it excellent just because I still feel that having spent about $30.00 or so for my first iron, I still don't notice any grand difference in the overall effect of the product, so why am I paying almost $100.00 for this one? Maybe in the long run this will be better for my hair, but it's hard to tell after using for only a few weeks I guess. My first iron I think was by Vidal Sassoon if I'm not mistaken. The Solia iron's benefits are that it has a longer, no tangle cord. It dries hair a little bit faster, it comes with the pouch (great feature), has wet-to-dry capability and lastly, I never smell that burnt hair smell like I could with my old iron. Of course, one of my most important factors in choosing it, yes, its color---PINK! Too bad the storage heat-proof bag is black :(
So VERY pleased!!

This iron is amazing. I have VERY thick, coarse, curly hair. Actually, my hair looks like I stuck my finger in an electric socket. And shiny hair - are you kidding? I don't know what that is. So as soon as the iron was delivered, I had to use it! WOW! It was amazing! The pictures on this website are right. It did a fantastic job. My hair is SO straight, it lays flat on my head. I've never had my hair where it didn't puff up at least a little. Nope, not with this iron. Just as straight as can be and so shiny too. It's beautiful. I was debating on buying the Chi flat iron or this one and boy am I thrilled with my purchase. My daughter has used it as well and now wants one for Christmas. She currently has a Hot Tools iron which works well but nothing like this one. If your trying to decide, BUY THIS ONE. You won't be sorry. Oh, I just love the pink too!
great!

This flat iron sucks. I don't know how else to put it. First of all, the plates don't match up. Secondly, it pulls your hair like crazy. Lastly, it gets way too hot. Then to top it all off, it doesn't keep your hair straight at all. I don't know...I'm a former salon manager - I had a CHI that lasted 4 years til it died. It was the best. The HAI I replaced it with was OK but I stepped on it and broke it and was happy to replace it. Unfortunately, I replaced it with this - I returned it two days later. I now have a SEDU which I still think is just OK. Next time I'm shelling out the extra cash and calling it a day with the GHD. PS If you're buying it because you like the pink, be forewarned it's more like a coral, pretty but not the picture.
Solia Pink: Highly Recommend!

I ordered the Solia Pink for my daughter's birthday. She already owns the Solia 1 1/4" flat iron, and has been using it daily for several years with excellent results. I bought her the Pink as a "back-up" iron (plus, it's her favorite color), and she reports that the 1" width is ideal for getting in close to the roots for superior straightening. She rates the Solia irons as "THE BEST EVER!!!" Highly recommended; you won't be disappointed! Additionally, all of our purchases through Folica.com have been consistently worry-free, with ultra-FAST shipping. A great shopping site.

This is thee best hair straightener for your money! I tell you, i have curly, frizzy, and very thick hair. The only other flat iron i have used is that god-awful Remmington Wet to Straight ( NEVER EVER BUY IT! ) and it fried my poor hair! I got this flat iron in search for something that could tame my beastly hair, and this was screaming for me. I mean come on. ITS PINK! Does wonders to my hair. The only i dont give it a perfect 5 is because the pink plates got worn after only a few uses. Buy it!
excellent

This hair straightener was really good!! I'm just slightly annoyed at the fact that the plates don't match up together perfectly, but I guess I can get over that. My hair now straitens completely and it looks great :).
mediocre

I ordered this product after seeing all of the positive customer reviews but unortunately i have to disagree. this iron did not go smoothly over my wavy hair and it took many repetitions to get it straightened at all. I exchanged this iron for the chi and found that one to be 5 times better
Love it!

I love this flat iron. It has adjustable heat settings and a really long cord. It also heats up in about 30 seconds and works really well! My hair looks shiny and healthy even though I blow it out and flat iron it on a daily basis.
Thanks!

I was not very happy with this iron. I had a previous hot iron that I had used for years that I was very happy with. It finally broke and I decided to try this one. I sent it back two days after receiving it. It just was not the quality that I wanted.
So far, so good

I purchased this straightener a while ago and have found it to be a wonderful hair tool. I did alot of research on the different flat irons and thought this one was a good price and also I had to get it because it was pink. I think I've had it now for about a year and I haven't experienced any major problems. It curls my hair beautifully and people always think that I put rollers in my hair when I do curl it. If you're looking to purchase this straightener I would highly recommend it.
works good, but ugly!!

i really like pink, but this one is a really funky color. i'd suggest getting the regular blue one with black, at least it would look stylish and professional. its like the difference between a barbie and the generic version, if that makes sense. it just doesn;t look hot in person.
