For decades Dyson have been known for sucking with their market leading vacuum cleaners. In recent years they have branched out to blowing with fans and supersonic hand driers. Now after many years of research costing £50 million and using 1.6 million meters of human hair comes the Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer.
Dyson claims its hairdryer is different from all the competition as it has a mighty powerful directed airflow and a smart thermostat to prevent scorching hair and getting split ends. The thermostat claims to check the temperature an impressive 20 times a second. However none of this comes cheap as it retails for £299 in the UK.
First impressions when un-boxing are it oozes quality and is a beautiful piece of kit. It comes with 2 nozzles, a diffuser and a mat. The hairdrier is significantly lighter than my existing Parlux compact. All of the attachments are connected by magnets and feel very secure when in use.
This little device packs a big punch as its more powerful than my existing Parlux but outputs half the noise – you could have a conversation over the noise of the Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer. The small framed Dyson is so much easier to use being far more comfortable holding for the 15 minutes it often takes me dry my hair before styling. It took just 6 minutes to dry my thick hair with the Dyson. I was astounded by how quick the Dyson is.
After using my hair did look glossier than usual with a shine on the ends that I usually need to use a straightener to achieve. It was much easier on my hand being lighter and quicker. I was reluctant to believe the hype of this device but for me and my thick hair it lived up to it. Costing almost 4 times the Parlux compact it wasn’t cheap. But it seems like a quality piece of kit that will last and just going on the time saved then over a few years I think it will be a very worthwhile investment. It wasn’t just quicker as my hair felt and looked better than usual and for me that is priceless.
I’ve read quite a few reviews on this, I’d love to try it but it’s waaay out of my price range. It’s a very good looking hair dryer though 😛
£300 for a hairdryer :O. Very good review on this Dyson hairdryer, If it speeds up hair drying then i’ll need one for my fiance to speed her up a little.
Love the design of this hairdryer and the technology sounds like it is worth the price!
This is the most awaited product of the year (for a hairdresser). Would be great to actually own one for my own personal use but I’m afraid my wages won’t stretch that far…. 🙁
6 minutes to dry your thick hair sounds amazing, gone would be the endless hour of sat trying to dry my thick mop.
I’m intrigues and would love to try it but golly it would have to be good to justify that price tag.
Extortionate price, but it is Dyson and they obviously feel they can get away with it! It does sound pretty amazing and looks good, though I’m not sure that much power would be such a good idea for fine hair? Luckily I have thick hair, so I have good reason to really want to try this out and hopefully not have too much of a hair-raising experience! Thanks for a great review and, of course, the opportunity to win such a great prize …
I would love to try this hair dryer but it’s out of my league :/
Not the cheapest hairdryer, however the quality in Dyson products is top class and I cant see this as anything less.
Wow, what a fabulous hairdryer. Having long thick hair is always problematic drying; dyson’s technology will hopefully rectify this for me ?
Looks amazing, good review. Would be a lovely replacement for my 20 year old hair dryer!
Dyson products are always great value for money in the long run so I imagine that the seemingly hefty price tag would be favourable over a long period of time. You get what you pay for with Dyson. The styling is amazing!
its very expensive although seems to get the job done according to your review so maybe when i win the lottery!
Expensive but very desirable, a bit like the Apple Watch. Not sure what the guarantee is but for the price of 3 or 4 hair salon visits it’s probably a good investment, especially if every day becomes a good hair day 🙂
Looks incredible, maybe this would sort out my unruly hair!
I have been eagerly anticipating the launch of the Dyson Hairdryer!! If companies like Dyson didn’t invest huge amounts of money to reinvent electrical items they would stay the same. I think it’s great that they shake up the market and if we weren’t in the process of buying our first home I would buy one or put it on my Christmas list! It sounds fantastic and loving the latest gadgets isn’t just a pastime for men! :0) x
For sure the hairdryer design of the future but at more than 10x the price of hairdryers I have seen in Tesco is it really worth it? My girlfriend says yes – I however disagree.
I would love to try this hairdryer but cannot justify the price, if i win it however then that’s a different story
I have been eyeing this hair dryer since its release and I have to say this review only makes me want it more! X
I saw an advert for this the other day very futuristic looking I need it! and the review makes sure I’m gonna buy one now
I bought it and for me it is worth every cent. I wash and blow dry my hair everyday otherwise it looks like a frizz ball. My hair is very wavy and in some parts even curly. It’s also white/grey and just has to look groomed as it is shoulder length and not a wash and wear style. The Dyson has left my hair looking as though I have left the hairdressers. Stayed that way all day despite the weather being freezing. I do, however, use quality hairdressing products and enjoy working on my hair. All up the blow dry took 15 mins and left NO FRIZZ and my hair was straight. For someone who is into “hair” the Dyson is worth it. I was teased at work for spending the money but when they saw the results they conceded it was worth every cent. Not for everyone sure, but for me it’s been a great purchase.
I think it’s far too expensive for a hairdryer, but it’s good to know it lives up to the hype! Anything with new technology is a thumbs up from me though!
Looks and sounds amazing but definitely too steep for me to go and personally buy for myself. It looks so modern though I would love one.
The Dyson vacuums are light years ahead of the competition and it looks as if their hairdryer is the same. Besides, it is a work of art!
Would love something so luxurious as this. But very pricy who would actually pay that much for a hair dryer lol x
Looks like a great hairdryer would be a fantastic present for my girlfriend
It looks and sounds fantastic, I like how it’s lightweight, quiet and quick to dry your hair. Leaving it in great condition without having to get the straighteners out, but why do they have to be so expensive (would never be able to justify the price). I find it a bit weird that they’ve gone from vacuums to hairdryers.
It would be interesting to see for myself whether this is as effective as it is reviewed as being as personally to me a price tag like that for a gadget that dries your hair is really ridiculous! I have seen the new dyson fans that have been launched in previous months and i must say the technology of dyson products is ever changing and impressive to say the least just a wee bit overpriced in my opinion!! I would love to win good luck to everyone who entered!!
Finally a hairdryer that doesn’t get boiling hot and also prevents split ends. I also love how compact it is, less noise but yet more powerful. Definitely sounds like the perfect hairdryer to me. My hair could definitely do with a treat 🙂 x
I’m wondering if this could work magic on my hair? My hair is naturally curly and very thick but I straighten it. To blowdry it straight and straighten it can take up to two hours so anything that helps to reduce that would be a god send!
Being a mobile hairdresser I would love to try this out!! 🙂 very intrigued to see if it’s worth the money.
