Product Rating: 4 I couldn't be happier

OK, this hairdryer may not be a Ferrari, but it's certainly a Lexus. Extremely reliable, powerful, fast, high quality and -- why not -- has a beautiful design.

Product Rating: 4 Great Dryer.

I love this dryer. It has a lot of power. I'm able to dry my (long) hair quickly using it. The ionic technology is great also. I'm seeing little to no damage with daily use.

Product Rating: 5 Works Wonders!!
Reviewer: Susana from New York, NY  Thu Jun 16 2005

Please note that this dryer works wonders almost instantly. It leaves the hair shiny and dries your hair very efficiently. It heats up very fast, and changes very curly and frizzy hair into almost "chinese" type hair! I have no regrets, and wish to mention that although someone else alluded to the diffuser falling off all the time, they are correct. However, I used my gluegun to keep it fastened to the nozzel, and it has not fallen since. I am super surprised the glue has not melted, and in fact it is fastened quite permanently. So in essence the glue is proof that the heat emitted from the dryer is not damaging to your hair. I will never go back to a standard dryer.

Product Rating: 5 Why discontinued?!
Reviewer: me from crofton, md  Wed May 28 2008

My hair dresser uses this blowdryer on my hair and gets great results. I went to order it myself and it's dicontinued! Why? I'm African American with medium-coarse hair and it works. i relax my hair 3x a year and it keeps my hair perfectly straight in the meantime. please re-stock!

Product Rating: 5 Best Dryer Ever!!
Reviewer: Karen from Chicago, Illinois  Mon Apr 07 2008

This dryer has been discontinued?? Oh No! This is horrible news. I have bought 2 of these dryers over the years and they are the best! Does anyone reading this who works at Folica know if you will be offering one of the same value? This is by far the best dryer I have ever used on my hair. It cut the drying time in 1/2. I'm sad to see this has been discontinued as it says on the main page here. Now I will handle mine with gentle care.

Product Rating: 5 WOW!!
Reviewer: Tamika from Utah  Wed Nov 28 2007

WOW!! I am an african american with relaxed mid back length THICK hair and this blow dryer works great!! My hair is straight with body and silky. It straighten my new growth with ease and made my relaxed hair look shiny and healthy. I am considering buying another one..just so I will never be without this amazing tool!!

Product Rating: 5 Amazing Results
Reviewer: Anonymous from North Carolina  Sat Nov 17 2007

I have used drug store brand dryers for years - never realized the difference a quality dryer makes. My hair dries in a fraction of the time, lots of shine and body!!

Product Rating: 1 died in 2 years
Reviewer: Caroline   Sun Sep 09 2007

This blow dryer was an average product, it did not change my life but got the job done. After only 2 years the power shorted and now I have to buy a new one. My stylist warned my that BaByliss products didn't last long, I wich I listened to her. I will never buy anything by this brand again.

Product Rating: 4 Salon hair
Reviewer: Darlenis from Miami, Fl  Fri Aug 17 2007

I really like the blow dryer, the results are the same as going to a salon, except it is free! I have really long hair and with regular dryers it takes me forever to dry my hair, with the babyliss I am literally done within 20 minutes with a beauty salon style!

Product Rating: 3 concentrator nozzle
Reviewer: Stella Giordano   Wed Aug 01 2007

I thought this dryer would dry my hair faster than my previous dryer but it doesn't even though it is supposed to the most powerful one. I am also disappointed with the heat concentrator nozzle for it keeps moving around while I dry my hair and if I place the dryer on the counter it falls off. Doesn't seem to be too stabel of an accessory.

Product Rating: 2 Dont waste your money
Reviewer: Emily from San Francisco, CA  Tue Jul 31 2007

I only wish I had read all these reviews before purchasing this hairdryer!

After using mine for only 5 months and loving it, the regular setting stopped working. The turbo and cool settings were fine and I continued to use it for a couple weeks. Then, one morning it began smoking, making a popping sound and something exploded inside.

Do not waste your money on this hairdryer. I have had much cheaper hairdryers that have lasted much longer!

Product Rating: 5 Silky Hair
Reviewer: sweetmeat from chicago, IL  Fri Jul 20 2007

This blow dryer is great. I have used this brand since the eighties, and it leaves the hair silky and shiney. Thanks

Product Rating: 4 Glad I bought it !
Reviewer: Ghinya from Northern NJ  Thu Jul 19 2007

I have a lot of thick hair that takes forever to dry. Using a cheap blow dryer just dries it out and it looks like hay or straw. This product really shows a big difference in the texture and drying time of my hair. I actually look forward to blow drying my hair now. Great product! By the way, Folica.com sent it to me in like 3 days! Nice!

Product Rating: 5 Good Buy
Reviewer: Bryn from Milwaukee, WI  Fri Jul 16 2007

This is one of the best purchases I have made recently. It blows my wavy hair completely straight and takes about half the time my old dryer took to dry it. The only complaint I have is that it is heavy and big, so it's not the best for traveling, but at $60, you really can't go wrong.

Product Rating: 1 Works good at first, then...
Reviewer: Kim from NJ  Wed Jun 06 2007

I purchased this hairdryer about 2 years ago & I too had sparks flying out of the hairdryer & it overheats as well. For the $$ you pay, it should'nt do that. My hairdresser used it so I thought it shoud be great. She uses it several times a day, me I only use it once a day & it's now dead. I just purchased a CHI hairdryer today because I love their straight irons. Hopefully I have better luck this time:)

Product Rating: 1 Keeps cutting off
Reviewer: Stacey   Wed May 16 2007

I bought this dryer from here after reading all the good reviews. It was expensive, but I thought it'd be worth it. It kept cutting out on me, so I returned it and was sent a new one (supposedly). Well, either they sent back the same defective one or this particular dryer is just awful, because the second one shuts off all the time, too. I don't dry my hair for a particularly long time, and don't even use the warmest setting. I've used many different types of top quality and lower end dryers for over 20 years, and have never before had this problem. This dryer is a waste of money.

Product Rating: 2 died after 2 years
Reviewer: Jomaho from Brooklyn  Sat May 12 2007

This hair dryer is extremely heavy, only has a couple of settings and died after 2 years. sparks are shooting out at me. I would avoid it.

Product Rating: 4 blow dryer babyliss
Reviewer: lauren deangelis from boston  Thu Apr 19 2007

i really like this blow dryer. the only problem i have with it is that you hold it right where the buttons are so when you are blow drying your hair, you sometimes turn it off by accident. other than that, it works very well!

Product Rating: 5 I've been looking for years!!
Reviewer: Lyn Freelon from Ohio  Wed Apr 18 2007

OMG I never thought I would find a great dryer like I use to have many years back, but this Babyliss is to dye for. I can turn my head sideways and it blows my hair straight up in the air has great heat too. My hair is just past my shoulders and thick - I hated to dry it with the normal dryers but this one is AWESOME. THANK YOU BABYLISS!! I still cannot believe it.
I counted on the reviews to be correct when I purchased. I was not let down so here is my review TRUST THIS DRYER it is POWERFUL.
