Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (...Wendy P.HairDark BrownNormal HairCurly Hair10 Years Later Breakin Down To Buy A New One.I have owned the Solia 1 1/4 plate for almost 10 years and it has never failed me. I've failed it. My butterfingers let that iron hit the floor so many times it should have been broken the first few months i had it. But it didn't. I used the heck out of that thing. I owned a salon, so it was getting heavy use. It was my tool of choice with everyone. But anyway, I bought another a few years later to keep at home for my daughter. It worked just as well as the first one. Until last year i dropped the first one i bought and when it hit the floor i saw something black fly off of it. The side where the plate floats on it broke. But it actually still works. And i still use it. Then just today i came upstairs to get the other iron to do my hair because i didn't want to get my hair stuck under the plate of the broken one, and i dropped my daughters. It smacked off the hardwood floor and it looked ok when i picked it up but when i turned it on to use it got to temp and the plate fell out. Yet again, IT ALSO STILL WORKS. Now i have 2 with plates that fall out. LOL. I was bummed !! So i am breaking down and buying another tonight. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS IRON. I have sold so many of these to my clients and they love it. Awesome product !posted YesterdayLink to this post -

Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (...Carmen C.OhioHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairNatural African American HairI love this flat iron! Mine died after 5+ years of use and I have been using my daughters flat iron for about a week now... some brand from Sally's I cannot remember and I must say I am immediately ordering another Solia because I now know the quality that I had was far more superior! Not as many pass throughs and it gets my hair silky straight. Although when I do an wash and blow dry I use the Maxiglide to get my initial straightening but I do one swipe with the Maxiglide then my Solia gets that second pass silky smooth and that is the only thing I use in between washes. Love it love it love it! Not going to any other brandposted This weekLink to this post -

Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (...MarcieLas VegasHairAuburnFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairDon't Be Fooled By The Other Brand's HypeI was very happy with the Solia I had been using for several years when it unexpectedly died right before I was leaving town. Since I did not have time to order from folica.com, I picked up a Chi at the local beauty supply store.
The Chi did not run down the hair as smoothly as the Solia. My hair would catch, and I would have to tug it through. It look more passes over each section to make the hair smooth as well.
When I got home from my trip, I promptly ordered a new Solia and returned the Chi.posted Last weekLink to this post -
Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (...LucyHonoluluHairLight BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairHair Just As Straight At End Of Day As It Is In The Beginning, Even In Humidity!!I bought this flat iron to replace another brand that broke. This is the best flat iron I've had yet! It's lightweight and doesn't pull hair at all! My hair is naturally very curly and dry and get's fizzy easily, especially in humid Hawaii. This iron straightens like no other! I usually cannot wear my hair straight in humid climate, b/c it starts to frizz after a while, even when using a flat iron. But I've worn my hair straight many days since I bought this one and it's just as straight at the end of the day as it was in my bathroom the morning I did it...every time!!!posted Last weekLink to this post -
Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (...KirstinHairMedium BrownOily HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairWhat Was I Thinking?!I've used the Sedu for 3 years and absolutely love it. Suddenly, it died on me so I went on a search for a new straightener. I was going to purchase another Sedu but all the good reviews for the Solia caught my eye... and at half the price, I decided to go for it. Worst mistake.
I have extremely long and thick hair that gets very frizzy. I rely on my straightener to get rid of the frizz. The Sedu turned my hair into silk with just one swipe. With the Solia, the frizz never went away and I had to run the iron over each section of hair at least 3 times. It's now in the mail on its way back to Folica. Lesson learned... you get what you pay for. Never again will I use anything but the Sedu straightener, no matter what the cost.posted Last weekLink to this post -
Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (...Tkd MomSchaumburg, ILHairMedium BrownNormal HairColor Treated HairAwesome Flat IronShould have bought one of these a long time ago. This was the answer to my hair prayers. My aging hair has been so hard to manage. Now my hair can look smooth, shiney, and just healthy again. Thank you Solia! I have just discovered a new item I just can't be without.posted May 7, 2013Link to this post -
Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (...StefaniaMichiganHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairLove/hate RelationshipThis straightener beats anything I've ever tried. It straightens, makes my hair feel smooth, and doesn't fry it.
The sticking point is this - it doesn't last more than two years. I just order my fourth Solia since 2010. That's 3.5 years and I've had to replace it three times because all of a sudden it just stops working and, previously, I only had one year warranties. The last time it happened, I decided I was going to find me another straightener and bought a Chi but it just destroyed my hair after a couple months of use. So I knew I had to go back to the Solia and the Chi is now my backup for when my Solia just randomly stops working, like it did this morning. Based on other reviews here, it seems like it's a common problem.
No wonder why it's such a great value! It's an awesome straightener for much less than other professional straighteners but that's because you have to buy it every two years or less. I see that it now has a two year warranty so you better believe I'll be keeping that and my proof of purchase in a safe place because I'll probably have to use it.
It's just unfortunate that this can't be a great product that lasts maybe 3-4 years. I'm so dependent on it that when it stops working, it's really frustrating. I use it every day so maybe that shortens its lifespan but I'm not convinced.
So if you are in the market for a great straightener, this IS a great straightener. Just be prepared to possibly need to replace it in about 1.5 years.posted May 7, 2013Link to this post
