Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer, Iron/Fuchsia, 1200W

Absolutely the best blow dryer I have ever used or owned. The cost of the product seems VERY high, however this is absoluty a product that you get what you pay for. I’ve used it on my natural hair and it was insanely fast at drying my hair along with staying at a temperature that has never burned my scalp or my hair. I’ve had tape in extensions and now sewn in extension over the last 6 years and this blow dryer is by far the best I’ve ever used when it comes to extensions as well. Everything above applies with my extensions, if not it seems to have been made for every type of hair real, fake or whatever the texture or kind of hair anyone was born with, purchased, real or fake. I’ve even used it in my fun wigs I wear on occasion when I feel like changing up my hair and it is the only blow dryer that I’ve ever owned that hasn’t ruined any wig I’ve owned either. It is extremely durable, I’ve dropped it many times, the parts are easily applied or removed for the tip of the dryer as well. Also very light in weight, and travels better than any other hair tools I pack.Definite worth it. I will only own this blow dryer now that I know how great it really is!

Be aware that this particular unit is coming from Japan and conforms to the Japanese market and power requirements. All the manuals and documentation and everything written on the box is in Kanji, so if your Japanese is rusty, you are going to have to figure it all out yourself. Also, the unit is NOT happy running on US 120V power even though the plug fits a standard US receptacle. The unit will quickly notice what it considers to be an overvoltage condition and shut itself down before you even get a chance to hold it up to your head. To get this to work reliably in the US, you will need a 120V to 100V converter or transformer rated at 1200 watts or higher. I can't even find such a thing on Amazon.....I did finally find a suitable transformer on Amazon (Search for the ACUPWR AJD-1400) which is not cheap but works perfectly and reliably. Once it is paired with an appropriate power source, the Dyson hairdryer is a joy to use. It is amazingly light and maneuverable. It is not exactly quiet, but easily only makes about half the level of sound that the average hairdryer puts out. You can hold a conversation with someone while using it without having to shout. The quality and engineering of the unit are truly amazing. It lives up to the hype, in my opinion. If you absolutely cannot wait until September to get your hands on one in the USA, this is your only option and it will cost you a pretty penny.

I have slightly wavy, very fine but extremely thick (as in, individual strands are fine, but I have a very high density of individual hairs on my head, and, no, the hairs being fine doesn't seem to make it dry any faster), waist length hair that I blunt cut because only a sociopath would put layers in hair this thick. I've tried porcelain dryers, tourmaline dryers, blow dry accelerants, microfiber towels... it still keeps me around 40 minutes to blow dry it completely (I admit my skill set is lackluster, as I so seldom bother to blow dry it at all). The lady who cuts my hair has a flag on my account so that when I schedule an appointment, they add an extra 15 minutes to the standard 1 hour appointment so she can have enough time to dry it (she is faster than I am, maybe 20-30 minutes for her, I've never actually timed it). She always asks if I want her to take weight out of my hair (basically drag the scissor edge through it to thin it out to normal-person thickness; I do not do this). Once, when I was at a hair salon as a first time customer to get a trim, the stylist realized she'd never get my hair dry in time for her next appointment, so she recruited one of the other stylists to blow dry my hair with her-- one on each side of me, blow drying simultaneously. Hopefully I've illustrated my point sufficiently.I deliberated about this thing for a while. I essentially don't ever blow dry my hair because it takes so long. The, "I went from 15 minutes to 5 minutes," people, the normal-range hair thickness ones, the ones who think that shoulder-length hair is long hair-- they don't understand what it's like for girls like me. I am not interested in what they have to say about a hair dryer. A girl I worked with owned this and said it dried faster, but she has shoulder length hair that is maybe 1/4 as thick as mine. I remained skeptical. I left most of the packing intact when I finally bought it, fully expecting to have to return it after verifying that it does not work for my hair.With this dryer, my hair was completely dry in less than 15 minutes (approximately 13). It doesn't feel fried or damaged. It put off less heat (though still enough for me to sweat a bit) than my old dryer. It is quieter than normal dyers. I'm not proud of the fact that I now own a $400 hair dryer (with a $50 carrying case to protect it), but... I'm not giving this thing up.Now to see if it stops working after 6 months...

I got this for a birthday gift from my wife. It is amazing. It dries my hair quicker than any hairdryer I have ever used. I love the ability to adjust the temp of the heat with multiple options. This is a novel function. Like most hairdryers you can also adjust the power of the drying function. With other hairdryers I have used the highest power but this one I only need the 2nd to the highest power.There are 2 small features I think they could improve on slightly. Neither would impact my decision to buy this product again. One is that on 2-3 occasions my finger has accidentally hit the power button when blow drying my hair. This is out of the numerous times I've used it so not a big deal but could be something they address in a future version. I have larger hands so it may not be an issue for someone with average or smaller hands. The other is the power cord is substantially longer than I need. So to keep it from getting everywhere I have tied it up. The only downside is that it creates a heavier cord that i have to hold up while using the hairdryer. It is a very light hairdryer so I lose some of the benefit of the lightness by dealing with the cord. Neither of these 2 issues would in any way prevent me from purchasing this again.
