I love this styling iron. It straightens with no effort at all, just glides. I am so pleased with this product.

The straightener is very efficient in the quality of straightening my hair.
Average - I prefer the HAI

I own both the HAI and the Solia, and I think the HAI is a better product. I find the plates of the Solia uneven and it does not give me a smooth straight finish. It does heat up quickly though. There are not too many 3/4 inch irons out there and I have short hair, which is why I bought it.
Pretty good

I've never owned a straightener before, so I don't really have anything to compare it to. It works great and I can straighten my hair super fast. My hair's pretty short, that's why I got this one, and so far I really like it. I haven't owned anything like it since the 80's, when crimpers took like 20 min to heat up. I couldn't believe that this heats up in 30 sec or less and is ready to go! Cool.
Kenta is better

I do not like the Solia, I have had my Kenta iron for years and it is by far the best iron around to straighten hair.
Really Good for Bob Hairstyles

I bought the Solia 3/4 after I cut my hair until a bob hairstyle. I have the Sedu 1 1/2 and as it is good at getting my hair stright and smooth, the Solia 3/4 gets the back area that is layered.
I love the fact that I don't have to set it on high to get my hair stright.
Long time coming

I originally wanted to write a review after the first time I used this flat iron because I was so satisfied. I took a while to write to write though because I wanted to make absolutely sure that I was satisfied with this flat iron. I cannot tell you how happy I am with this purchase. I had a Chi flat iron which was 140 dollars at Ulta which broke after only a month of use. I was so jaded that it took me almost a year to muster up the courage to buy a new one. I bought a Solia because it was suggested to me by my hair dresser as being the "new Chi" (The Chi had achieved some type of cult status where I live... even though it's sub-par quality) I really like how quickly this flat iron heats up and how I only need to go through once and my hair is completely straight. I like how tiny the iron is so it is easy to get the bangs straight and how soft and shinny my hair looks after use. I have used it everyday since purchasing it and it works beautifully. My hair actually looks and feels healthier after using the iron then it does without using the iron. (I was really worried about damaging my hair with so much heat exposure) Long story short, this is an EXCELLENT product, cheap compared to a Chi, and much better quality. I would suggest this product to anyone who is contemplating purchase. I know other comments helped me decide which item to purchase so I hope mine helps you!
BEST FLAT IRON!

I have owned this flat iron for about 4 years and its amazing! Most flat irons die after about a year, but this one lasts forever! I have dropped it, traveled many places with it, and I use it a few times a week. Its seriously amazing, take my word!
The only styling tool I need

I've used the cheap flat irons before and could never get the "salon look" to my curls. I have a short style, and this iron not only locks in my natural shine, but I get salon quality curls that last for a few days. I asked my friend, a stylist, what she thought, and she said it's a great product but overpriced. I think it's worth it.
LOVEEEE iiittttt

At first I didn't like it, I felt like it didn't really get the job done and my hair didn't really stay straight. BUT! Once I got the hang of it, I was blown awayyyyy . If you don't like this iron, you're doing something wrong, you just have to make friends with it. Other irons make my hair dry, frizzy, and give it lots of split ends and breakage, BUT NOT THIS ONE! This one makes my hair smooth, shiny, and soft. It keeps it straight. Whoever said this straightener was for SHORT hair was wrong, my hair reaches the middle of my back & it works perfectly, I can get it all done in about 10-15 mintues. So ya great straightener, If i was gonna buy it again I would probably get the one-incher, but who cares when it's this good?
works for natural hair

I bought the solia 3/4 in. about two months ago for both myself and 11 year old daughter. we both have natural hair in others words were black. it works great i read all the reviews, good and bad and compared it with the others for about two months, i did not want to waste my money. i am extreamly pleased it heats up right away and does the job. i use to wash blow dry, press then flat iron, now i can definitely skip the pressing. our hair comes out silky. i use the biosilk before blow-drying.
Picture of product is not accurate

From the photograph of the Solia Tourmaline Ionic flatiron, it appears that the plates are recessed from the body of the appliance. However, the plates are actually flush with the edges of the iron making the possibility of getting burned very probable.
This was enough of a drawback that I never even tried the iron.
Buy this iron, you won't be sorry.

I already owned the magic ionic which was good, but i found i had to pass over the same piece of hair many times to get it perfect. I wanted the solia 3/4 so that I could straighten my bangs and give a little curl under or flip on occasion. This relatively inexpensive iron has blown me away. Not only does it make my bangs perfect and silky, but I use it on my whole head of very long, thick, curly processed hair and it makes it so silky (even if I only do a mediocre blow dry to begin with) and it stays straight well into humid days or workouts. I'm so glad I read the other reviews and bought this iron. I was worried that the less expensive price meant it was somehow inferior, but it is almost half the price of my magic ionic and it is so much better.
folica is also fantastic. super easy and fast shipping.

My Daughter has been through several irons over the years and this one ranks well above average and the price was right! We highly suggest this Iron!!!!!!! My daughter who uses an Iron almost daily - said that this Iron keeps her hair straighter for a few days with just minor touch ups, she also stated the humidity (living the South Florida were it is very humid-we needed this) did not seem to undue the ironing she puts so much effort into as was the case with previous irons. This Iron was also gentler on her hair then some of the more expensive Irons we have purchased in the passed.
If you are looking for an Iron - but this one - we have no complaints!!!!!

I bought this less than a year ago. I loved it, it worked great-one of the best I have ever had BUT I PLUGGED IT IN THE OTHER DAY AND IT NEVER CAME ON. So I took it to another room and tried it there...it never came on.
Very Happy

I've read up on many different types of flat irons and this type of tourmaline/ceramic is the way to go. Solia makes a great flat iron. This is my first and I am very pleased. I have hair past my shoulders but I choose this size to feel comfortable getting the smaller hairs against my hairline. I did the japanese hair straightening (perm straight) and now I have two inches of curly growth and this iron helps me get the growth straight to match the rest of my pin straight hair. It's working. I'm happy with it.

This is my first time ordering a product from Folica. Folica was nothing but awesome customer service! They forgot to send out my free iron pad but after emailing them they sent it right away! The styling iron works great, it heats up really fast and it leaves my hair straight for the whole day. I'm really satisfied with this, guys, I really recommend this product!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I would like to thank each and every person who suggested the Solica Ceramic Flat Iron. I am not a person who goes to the hair dresser that much, maybe once a year or two. As a woman of color, I have tried every relaxer there is and just this past year it came down to me having to use two home perms at once every time I wanted to straighten my hair. I even tried mixing shampoos and conditioners to help assist me in straigtening my hair. Unfortunately, nothing ever really worked like I wanted it to. I was soo disappointed. Then LOW and BEHOLD, I lucked up on this site! THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED TO STRAIGHTEN MY HAIR! I washed my hair with Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Shampoo and Conditioner. While I conditined it, I used Sunsilk 24/7 frizz free cream. Being that I read you could use the Solia from damp hair, I tried it, and it started straightening great, but I was too impatient so I dried my hair on a medium setting with my hair dryer. I used a smoothing heating balm and the Sunsilk again and I used my new Solia on the highest setting and WHAM! I could have fallen out of my seat my hair was so soft, silky and boy was it straight! I LOVE THIS THING! ANYONE WHO SAYS IT DOESN'T WORK, JUST DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO USE IT! THIS IS A MIRACLE PRODUCT FOR ALL WOMEN OF COLOR WITH THICK, KINKY, NAPPY, FRIZZY or SPLIT-ENDED HAIR! If you have these types of hair, ladies believe me, this will please you to the fullest. You won't have to worry about your hair getting that way again. I used it and later on in the day I sweat and my hair stayed just as straight as it was when I used my Solia. I went back in the house and kissed it! Thank you Folica.com for having such a wonderful product! I'm sorry I couldn't show you all any pictures, I was too excited in getting my Solia, I forgot.
Can we say "OUCH"?

I just used this straightener today and I am very disappointed in it. Not only did it snag & pull my hair, it didn't even really straighten. I had to go over each piece at least 2 times to get it straight. I am definitely returning it & trying another brand.
