Solano Sapphire Collection Flat Iron (1 3/8")

Tam @ HomeChicagoMeh - I'm Over This Flat IronIve used this flat iron for 7-years, mostly because I didnt know any better that there were other better types of flat iron. My issues with this flat iron are:1. Split end city. This iron will rip your hair up because of the hair eating hinge and the actual plates that tend to grab tight and offer little slickness for your hair to glide through.2. Its heavy and frumpy to deal with.3. These things break, although I have seen reviews for other brands having way shorter life spans and since all Ive ever used is this brand, maybe I just dont know. But the last two have broken in the exact same fashion - they are made entirely of plastic and the plastic around the hinge becomes dry and brittle and completely snaps leaving the top plate just hanging by the inner wires. This seems to happen every 3-years.4. Theres no heat control.Pros:1. This thing travels in my suitcase across continents. It hangs out in padding in airplane cargo ... with all the travel I guess 3-years before the plastic crumbles is better than I give it credit for. Although maybe I am packing it safely and maybe other brands would travel well too?2. I like the comb on the end of it. Makes it easy to straighten hair.3. The tip is made so you can grip it tight without burning your finger tips.

KrisGADid The JobI have used many flat irons from Hot Tools, to Chi, to Sedu and this has been my favorite so far. I have baby fine frizzy, fly-away hair and this met my every need. I give it an A.posted Jan 16, 2008Link to this post

MaryannBaldwinsville, NYNot Happy With ItThis is my third purchased from folica. First off, this is a wonderful company to order from. They deliver as promised But I did not care for this item at all. I thought the combs would be an advantage. I find that they are not. They get stuck in my hair plus because of the combs, I have difficulty placing my hair in the flat iron. I think because of the combs the iron is unable to open up enough. Also I dont think it grabs the hair good. Folica has a money back guarentee that I should have taken advantage of, but I didnt. If you want a great inexpensive flat iron go for the solia!posted Oct 26, 2007Link to this post

Maribel"the Flat Iron"I love my solano flat irom its the best in the whole world i sleep with it every night and if there was a fire in my house thats the first thing i would grab not kids but the iron. One time I beat my husband with it when he tried to throw it away because he felt that i loved my flat iron more than him so i recommend that every women or man gets one.Maribel from the sunshine state "cali"posted Oct 6, 2007Link to this post

MeganShakopee, MNWonderfully Wowed!I just bought my first Solano flat iron because my hair stylist uses it on my hair and it always feels so wonderful and healthy, not dried out and straw-like like other irons do. I absolutely love this iron!!!! Highly recommended!posted Oct 6, 2007Link to this post

HeraDecent!This hairdryer was totally worth buying--it always gets the job done. My only complaint is that its a little small...its hard to feel like its working. But otherwise, excellent!posted Sep 15, 2007Link to this post

DeeRIWill Not Stray From The Solano Again!I had a Solano flat iron that lasted several years-- I stopped using it because the wiring became exposed and electrical tape wasnt covering it (this probably wouldnt have happened if I took better care of it) I tried a few other straighteners but they all seemed to fry my hair, so I recently went back to the Solano.. and I will not buy another brand again! I love how the comb guides my hair through the straightener and I only have to go over my hair once. The heatproof mat/sleeve from Folica is also great because I dont have to wait for the iron to cool down before throwing it in my bag etc.posted Sep 8, 2007Link to this post

JenniferNew York, NYDid They Change Something..These irons last forever, so the last time I bought this iron was three years ago. Did they change something? Were still paying the same amount but the iron is made cheaper. Im going to return the one I got and see if it comes back in better shape.posted Aug 31, 2007Link to this post

KathleenAlta Loma, CAHairColor Treated HairLong HairGreat Flat IronI have long hair and have been partially highlighting it for 20 years. In the last ten, Ive been using a flat iron. I love this iron because it has a comb attached and it makes flat ironing easy. This is the second Solano Sapphire Flat Iron I have purchased in the last 10 years. They really last a long time. I have purchased other flat irons and I keep going back to this one.posted Aug 23, 2007Link to this post
