best hair straighener evverrr!!!
Reviewer: Jess from

I have fine, frizzy very curly hair. I used to blow dry my hair as straight as it could get, then use a flat iron to get it the staightest. Yet about an hr. later my hair would be frizzy wavy and curly again. Ive probably owned over 20 flat irons before the Sapphire iron. I purchased the Sapphire iron from my hairdressers during my grade 8 grad. My hair looked so healthy, shiny and staight I had a hard time convincing people I have natuarlly curly hair. It just died a few months ago when I was on vacation! Lasted me 11 yrs. Best darn flat Iron hands down.
Money Well Invested!!

I rate this as the BEST flat iron EVER!!! I'm ordering another one today because I woke up this morning and was about to get ready for work and switched on my flat iron and it has finally died on me. Needless to say, I have used it everyday for the past 7 years! It never broke, nor did the plastic melt. I wrap the cord around mine and put it up all the time, so the only thing I believe that brought the death of my flat iron was a short in the cord where it actually runs into the iron. They've actually come down on the prices also. Awesome!!
It makes a BIG difference..

I bought my 1st flat iron in Italy. When it died on me, I thought I would too. I found the SOLANO Model 11/210 1 3/8in on-line and truly love it. I have NAPPY hair (you'd never know), that looks shiny, straight and soft. I it use on my way out to work in the morning no more than 6 mins (timed)and get compliments from passers-by all the time. I went on an international trip recently where the voltage is 220; I put an adapter on the plug and that was that. I DO recommend the Solano flat iron highly. A couple of tips: hold the thinner of the 2 handles on the top (right hand) comb straight out until the (almost) ends and curve in a bit. Start by combing hair forward and start at the base working your way to the top center, then the sides, to the front. Hope this helps you as much as it has me!!!

I love my solano flat irom it's 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.

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!
Will 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 wasn't covering it (this probably wouldn't 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 don't have to wait for the iron to cool down before throwing it in my bag etc.
Great!

This was my first flat iron. I got it in 7th grade and it lasted until my junior year in HS when black stuff started to crack and it shorted. I loved it so much. I found the comb an annoyance at the time but now that I have a chi i miss the attached comb. I didnt know i oculd get another saphire iron so i went with a Chi and I am not pleased with it at all.
solano sapphire

Just received my Solano 1-3/8" today. I used it as soon as I took it out of the box! About 8 years ago I bought my 1st one from a salon for $110 and would still have it except for a break in the handle. I kept the original box (a miracle since I had it for 8 years)which helped me find the same make and model. This new one which is the narrow version, is just as wonderful as the old one. My 16 year old daughter and I will use it every day!
Love it!

I had a Solano Sapphire years ago, and after 4 years, somebody stole it. I purchase a Chi and promptly after the warranty expired, so did the Chi. I purchased another Solano and both my 15-year old daughter and I agree it's far superior to any other brand. Highly recommended!
