A great first experience
Reviewer:

I'm almost 60 and had never used a flat-iron before. I have always just let my fine naturally curly hair do what it wanted. Now I'm ready for a new look. I'm pretty clumsy when it comes to doing my hair, so I was hesitant about getting this Solia iron. It turned out to be a great purchase. It's easy to use, and I love how my hair looks, it is glossy and very straight. Made me aware that I need a new haircut.
Worth every penny.
Great for styling!!!

The Solia is a GREAT styling iron.. My hair is shoulder length and thick. I do have some problems straightening though since it is so thin. For straightening I would go with a larger iron, for flipping and curling this one is PERFECT!..
Love it!!

I had a Chi for about 4 years and it finally gave up the ghost (amazing, I know). My sister-in-law told me to get this one (well actually the pink one, but I like blue!). At first, I wasn't sure I liked it as well as my Chi, since it didn't seem to grip as well, but after I got use to that, I decided it worked as well and maybe even better than my Chi and it didn't snag my hair like the Chi did. I love this flat iron and really recommend it.
Fairly good flat iron

I purchased the Solia iron about two months ago. It straightens better than any other flat iron I've owned. I don't know if I feel it's worth the money though. I wouldn't say it's one the best straighteners out there for the money. There are features about it I like such as knob to adjust the temperature. It reaches 425 degrees, and I like the fact that it is so lightweight. However, I don't think I will purchase another one after it breaks. I think next time I will try the Sedu. I have heard great things about it.
The Solia also breaks down rather quickly. The Solia sign came off the handle about a week ago, and I take very good care of it.
Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (1") Review

This flat iron is great!! I did quite a bit of research before buying this one and was frustrated because some flat irons seemed so expensive. So I asked my hairdresser and he said don't be fooled by the high priced irons. Make sure that it has a temperature control that goes up to 400, that it is ceramic and that it is tourmaline. Because my hair is short he said I should be able to get a really good iron for under 100. Also he said the Chi are good except that they are not tourmaline and that is important because it helps to keep the heat even throughout the iron and onto your hair.
Anyway, I bought this iron, I have used it everyday for the last 2 months and I have no complaints, I absolutley love it!!

As a hair stylist, this product is just alright. I was a bit disappointed. It dries out your hair after several days of use even with a straight iron product. Be careful if your hair is not in great shape.
By far one of the best!!!!

This wonderful device literally arrived at my doorstop in what seemed like minutes, it heats up almost instantly, and personally, I think I can do my hair better than my stylist at this point!! I bought the Solia the day I got my hair cut short into the "Victoria Beckham" haircut about 2 months ago. I have very very thick and curly/wavy hair, typically too difficult to bother straightening... I've straightened my hair at least 6 days out of every week since I got this! You wont regret it.
Highly Recommend

I got this for my 13 y/o daughter for Christmas. It is the best gift ever...for her and me. It gets hot instantly and you can set how hot you want it. For the money I would say it is well worth it.
worth the money!!!!

now i know what it's like to use a real flat iron!!!! i never used flat irons much, but when i did it was a drugstore brand and i alwys thought it did nothing to my hair! well now that's a different story!! i got great results. it heats up in seconds and takes me about 5 minutes to do my hair. my hair is about shoulder length (a bit shorter) and pretty straight to begin with, but has crazy little waves here and there! its rebellious! and the iron does the job. and i might also add that i'm not one to fuss with my hair too much, so i could probably get it to look alot nicer. but even my quick way gives me great results! i contemplated on which size to get and am happy with this 1 inch. i think it's pretty versatile. however, i don't like using it on my damp hair even though it says you can. makes a sound like it sizzling my hair. don't like that. but overall i'm very happy and glad i investing in a great flat iron!
Good on short hair only.

I purchased the 1" Solia straigtening iron thinking it would help style my long hair easier than a 1.5" barrel. But, it doesn't do the straightening or curling well at all on longer hair. My hair length is about to my chest and the 1" can only straighten the top part of my head and the bottom remains curly and not styled.
I however gave this to my brother who has short/medium length guy hair and it works REALLY well on his hair. So I definitely recommend this product to people with short hair or to guys who actually style their hair.
NOT good with long or shoulder length hair, but works great to style/curl short hair.
Overall, not a bad product. Easy to use for basic styling, but not great for really wanting to straighten or curl your hair compared to other straightening irons.
I personally like the CHI and the KAI. I have both of those and they work great on my hair. Better than the Solia.
great gitf

It was too expensive: $85. Other than that, it straightens the hair, leaving it shiny, does not snag my hair at the ends. I have been using it daily for a few months, and it works as if it's brand new.
Good product

This flat iron is really good. I had it since November 2007 and I still love it! You can use it for curling your hair too.
could be me, but straightness doesn't last

This is my first flat iron; I had been using a curling iron to achieve a similar effect. My hair is thin with natural body-not curly- and I get good initial results with the Solia. Too bad the look doesn't last. I've tried it with a variety of styling products as well as on bare hair, and my hair reverts back to it's usual look after just a couple of hours. Because of the burnt hair smell, I don't want to go any higher in temperature (using 260 deg)so all in all I could have saved money by sticking with running the large barrel curling iron down my hair.
1 good mid-price range iron

I have straight hair with a slight wave so I did not want anything super high-end nor did I want a drugstore iron and this fits my needs. It heats up fast and does not damage my hair. I do not have lots of time and with a couple of swipes it makes my hair look neat and polished.
bought as a gift

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas, her old iron made her hair static and she asked for a new one which was like her friend had. I could not find that exact one and decided on this iron because of the customer reviews. She absolutely loves it. No static and her hair is very soft when she uses it and she says it is easy to use. She is so pleased and so am I.
Must have Flat Iron

This flat iron is absolutely great. I havent permed my hair in about 7 months and i have very thick curly hair... and this flat iron gets it bone straight without even heating it up past 370 degrees. I would recommend this flat iron to anyone.

This is the best flat iron I have ever used. Even better then Chi! It makes my hair super straight & shiny and works so fast. I only have to go over my curly/frizzy hair once to get perfect results. Also, I can go out in the rain and it stays perfectly straight (no hairspray).
