I am so glad I did not shell out an extra $100 for a Chi iron. This Solia is perfect for me...really fast and my hair has never been so smooth... Yes, sometimes some hair gets caught on the blue part, but it really does a great job. I was debating what to buy and reading the reviews made me pick this iron. Not an once of regret!!! And really nice to Canadian customers!
I always recommend SOLIA!

This is my second Solia flat iron. The previous solia I had lasted about 3 years before I had any problems. My 1st solia still works, but the cord has to be in a certain position - it probably needs a new cord but its no longer under warranty, so I just bought a new one. For the price & performance I would never use another brand.
Great Product

I have bought many flatirons but they all tended to be cheaper ones. I was not wild about spending $150 on a flatiron so when I found this one that was cheaper but still had great reviews I decided to go for it. I use it everyday and love it. I put Super Skinny on my hair first and I do not have near the amount of breakage as I did with my other flat irons. I am very very happy with this product.
Great Iron!

This iron really does make my hair more sleek and shiny than the babyliss iron I was using .. not to mention it takes me half the time to style!
However, like many others on this site, I was debating whether to get the solia or the sedu .. I went the cheaper route, but definitely think that the hair pictures from the sedu iron look better, more sleek and silky.. that being said the solia is still a fantastic iron and better than all the ones I have tried in the past .. but I don't feel it's the best out there and if they didn't charge so much shipping for Canadians I probably would have exchanged my solia for the new sedu iron.
Great Results

I did a lot of research before purchasing an iron, and am very happy with the outcome. With a few touch-ups, my hair stays straight for up to three days. (I have dry hair, so oil is not really a problem.)
My hair is loosely curly, and on the dry/frizzy side. I regularly deep condition, and use a leave-in product to protect my hair from the heat. I have not noticed any damage. Though you can use this on towel-dried hair,I find that using the iron when my hair is almost or completely dry takes the least amount of time. Use a slightly higher temperature than normal if your hair is damp - I generally use it about 325-350. For more stubborn curls, a higher temp would probably be better.
I have not used the iron to create curls, but I do flip the ends. It is very easy with the shape of the iron.
The longest layer of my hair is midway down my back, and the 1 1/4 inch size works just fine.
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT

I love my Solia flat iron. I have very frizzy hair (and livein a VERY humid place)and this product straightens my hair - and it stays for the entire day.
I love the fact that I can adjust the temp and the heat proof pad is a MUST.
I decided to purchase the Solia instead of the Chi because the majority of the reviews stated that the Chi usually has problems after one year of use. $85 is too much to spend on a new flat iron every year.
I WOULD definitely recommend this product....make sure you use a heat protector product on your hair though!
Works well!

I was using Secret to Beauty flat iron from a beauty supply store which works pretty well on my hair but I just thought it took too long to straighten. I have thick, curly hair...so I figured I would try out the Solia since it has been highly rated. Well, so far I love it. I only have to go over each strand once so it cuts my straightening time in half. I would highly recommend this product.
Works like a charm and lasted 3 yrs!!

So after my HAI flat iron broke after only a year (conviently right after the warrenty expired) i bought the Solia after reading many reviews on this site (it really was a toss up between solia and Sedu, however for price, Solia won), and its done nothing but keep my hair straight and shiny. I used my flat iron pretty much everyday and my hair looked and felt healthy, so really, it was worth it. So if you have coarse, wavy, dark with highlighted hair, this flat iron will do you no wrong.
The best flat iron I've ever had

This product is really great. I'm mixed and I have long wavy and curly hair and it straightens it out without a problem. In the past I've bought $40 flat irons and they all kept breaking, so I decided to spend a little more in hopes of getting better results and it was worth it. It use to take me like 4 hours to straighten my hair, but now it only takes an hour and a half at the most. So I am so glad I came across this flat iron.
its decent

I used to own an ion straighter until my sister dropped it and it broke. I looked at these reviews and found this to be a good buy. When i first picked it up it was a little heavier then my ion but nothing that i couldn't handle. It straightens my hair well. It is not pin straight but it looks good and natural. It heats up quickly and it doesn't pull the hair. It takes me a little longer to straighten then my old one but only about a 5 minute change. It is worth the buy!
Had to pull the trigger!!

During a fight the other night, my boyfriend broke my old InfraShine flat iron. I had it for two years and I loved it. But since my boyfriend was going to buy the new one, I was looking around to see if I could find a better flat iron cheaper. I really liked this one because it has more than 2,000 reviews and it is still one of the best selling flat irons Folica sells. I finally gave in and bought it. It just came today and I HAD to try it out. My other flat iron made my hair smell like it was burning occasionally, but this one didn't burn my hair at all. I have very thick and curly hair. It made my hair shiny and it seemed so much healthier and thinner. Even my boyfriend noticed the difference between the two!! My mom has the InfraShine too, and I'm going to talk her into getting this one.
Best iron ever! great investment!

OK, I (like many many others) had chi, it broke of course.. I loved my Chi iron. Afterr the cord broke, I did a ton of research on buying a good iron. When I saw the folica sight I first wanted to purchase the Sedu, but they were out of the 1 inch. So I went for the 2nd rated one..the solia. I cannot explain how awsome this iron is. My hair is naturally pretty straight, but after having my son my hair textured changed a little also I dont have alot of time to fix my hair every morning. The solia is sooo smooth on my hair...My chi would breakmy hair and take so much longer. It literally takes me 5 min to style my hair now. I love that i can control the temperature settings and it heats up within 25 second!!!
Also, I only paid $88!!!!! I could go on about my solia forever, I ust want to let people know that the solia is amazing and i highly recommend it to everyone! You will be satisfied for sure!!
great flat iron

I am pretty new to the world of flat irons, but I now own both a Wigo 1.75" (my first flat iron purchase, and, hey, it was on clearance at ULTA) and the Solia 1.25". I vastly prefer the Solia. The Wigo caught and pulled my hair (frequently pulling out hairs) with every pass through. I purchased the Solia VERY soon after the Wigo, based on good reviews here on Folica.com. I took both flat irons with me to my stylist for her opinion, and she dismissed the Wigo and remarked that the Solia was "obviously a good flat iron." It does a great job on my wavy/half-curly/flyaway-but-thick shoulder-length hair, and it will remain beautifully shiny, soft, and straight for days despite the notorious Florida humidity. My husband even noticed, and that is saying something! I prefer it over my cousin's CHI, because of the variable temperature setting and the fact you can use it on hair that isn't fully dried. Definitely recommend it. As a side note, folica.com's customer service was fantastic. The Solia was delivered incredibly fast, and I purchased during the busy holiday season!
Wonderful product

I purchased the Solia and a Sedu. The Solia came in and starting working immediately. Unfortuntenly the Sedu was dead on arrival. The Sedu feels strong and not cheaply made. It pretty with colors and has not gone out so far, since all flat irons are starting to be made very cheaply. The Sedu, I did finally get another and its broken now.
The Solia is durable and works pretty good for the price.

I bought this as my first experience using a flat iron. It works great! I love my new style and I can fix my hair and it will keep it straight for days so it saves me time getting ready. It goes up to 450 degrees, it's lightweight and just perfect.
Great product

I have very curly and coarse hair and this works wonders. I can straighten my shoulder length hair in 15 minutes and it is smooth and silky. Folica did a great job with shipping and I had it days before I expected it.
Awesome!!!!

This is the best flat iron I have ever owned. No snagging or pulling. I have owned a CHI and a Corioliss and both would snag my hair where the plates meet the plastic part of the iron, not with the Solia. I have been using this flat iron for almost a month and have yet to snag or pull any of my hair (i have very fine/curly/wavy/frizzy). As far as straightening power, it has out performed the CHI and the Corioliss. I give this iron 5 stars. Once straightened my hair is silky, shiny, straight and healthy looking, and stays that way all day (hard to do when you live in Florida). This is a must buy!!!!!
