Solia slightly above average...
Reviewer: Liz from Frankfort, Ky, USA   2009-11-15

I bought my Solia iron over two years ago, and it worked pretty well for me. I have fine, dyed hair and it definitely got the job done, but unlike the rest of these reviews, I don't see why it is AMAZING and such. I've used my friend's and sister's Chi, and for my fine hair, the Chi definitely got my hair done quicker and eliminated the pesky cow licks that tend to stick up on my hair, even with the Solia. That said, I used my Solia a ton in the last two years, and I was definitely sad to see it die. For some reason it just started shorting out, to where I had to turn the cord a certain way to keep it on...until my handy duct tape didn't even cut the job. So if you want something to last and that doesn't damage your hair bad, the Solia is a good investment, but now that I'm back in the market for a flat iron, I'm scooping out the Chi, FHI, and Sedu for more shine and less cowlicks. Seems to me that Folica has a special endorsement deal with Solia, so they are pushing it pretty hard, but definitely check out all the options.

plates pop out
Reviewer: Tanya from Goshen, NY USA   2009-10-27

I liked it while it lasted. One of the plates keeps popping out now rendering it useless. It is only a year old. Very expensive for only a year. Otherwise it performed very well. If the plate would stay in I would be very happy with it.

Compare the SEDU to the SOLIA
Reviewer: Angie from Dayton, Ohio USA   2009-09-30

After reading the reviews, I could not decide between the more expensive Sedu and the Solia. Since I couldn't decide, I purchased both, as Folica has a good 30 day return policy. I bought the 1" because I wanted to make curls occassionally. As soon as I received the flat irons, I plugged them in and went to work on my hair, one side with the Sedu and one side with the Solia. I did not use any special flat iron sprays other than product already in my hair from styling it curly this morning. THE SOLIA WON HANDS DOWN. Reasons: 1)the outside tip on the sedu gets hot and the solia stays cool. I often grab the closed ends of the iron to guide it when I style and don't like it when its too hot to touch and control. 2) The solia does not pinch or pull my hair. Its glide is perfectly smooth. 3)The shine factor with the solia was hands down better than the sedu. 4) an added bonus: it costs $50 less than the sedu. They both heated up quickly, have adjustable temps, and nice long cords. My hair looks fabulous and I love it already.

good while it lasted!
Reviewer: elizabeth   2009-09-02

I had my solia for exactly a year when all of a sudden i started to smell something burning!!! when i finally figured out what it was it was my solia! the ceramic plates had litteraly melted off of the iron!! i was devestated because my warrenty had expired the day before it happened!that's the only complaint i have about this it left my hair better than other straighteners!

Best in price range
Reviewer: Debbi from Winston Salem NC USA   2009-08-30

I am a hair stylist, so I have used many different flat irons; Chi, Rusk, Babyliss. This flat Iron is as good if not better than all those. Plus with the adjustable heat that isn't offered on some of the others makes this a great iron. The only iron better is the Croc that Is used for a chemical protein straighten system, and so expensive that we only use the iron for this purpose. I bought this Solia for my daughter 8 months ago and I dropped it a few weeks ago and one of the plates fell out and was hanging by the wires, but it still worked after popping plate back in place. Clip broke that held plate so it kept falling out while using, which was annoying. I just Gorilla glued (only where back of plate and wires were) the plate back and voila- still works no problem.
