Product Rating: 5 Great Hairdryer
Reviewer: Michelle   Mon Feb 06 2006

I hesitated buying this because of the price - never spent more than $20 on a hairdryer, but I love this hairdryer. It's a bit heavy and it's easy to turn it off while holding it, but it dries great and my hair looks great. Worth the money.

Product Rating: 4 Great and not expensive
Reviewer: AC   Mon Feb 06 2006

I am so happy to have purchased a 'professional' grade hairdryer. It definitely cuts down on drying time which is always the biggest issue for me. It leaves hair shiny, and when used in conjunction with the sedu flat iron my hair looks like I just came from the salon.

Product Rating: 4 Did I expect too much?
Reviewer: Sue from California  Thu Feb 02 2006

After reading the reviews, I decided to purchase the Carrrera because I was looking for a hair dryer that would dry my hair faster and keep me from having to use my flat iron or curler. My hair is medium texture, colored and wavy (tends to get frizzy). Well, maybe my technique is wrong, or I am expecting too much from a hair appliance, but the results are less than I expected I guess it does dry a bit faster, but I still have to use my flat iron or curler. I gave it an "above average" rating because of the quality. It is very sturdy and quieter than other hair dryers. Also, a little heavier, but hey.....why not keep arms toned while drying hair! Because of the expense, I am committed to making this hair dryer work for me.

Product Rating: 4 No more frizzie hair!
Reviewer: greta cabanas from Miami Florida  Thu Jan 26 2006

This is a really good blow dryer from a very good manufacturer greatly improved from previous models when it comes to the weight.

Fast with good results. I an giving it an above average because it is made like a tank. No flimsy casing here. I only with they would make it even lighter...

Love the long cord!!!

Product Rating: 5 Great Product!!!
Reviewer: Julie from TN  Thu Jan 26 2006

This is not a heavy blow dryer. I have not had trouble with the buttons being in the wrong area (as others had mentioned). Seems to dry my hair faster and helps take some of the wave out of it.
Very happy with my purchase!!!

Product Rating: 4 Babyliss Pro Carrera Hair Dryer w/Diffuser
Reviewer: Kimberly from New Hampshire  Mon Jan 23 2006

I really like this hair dryer in part because the diffuser doesn't pop off the hair dryer like my universal diffuser used to. The cermic housing of the dryer is great because it keeps the outside cool. The airvent is easy to clean. The airflow is even. With the diffuser on, however, the warm setting is too cool to dry my hair (I've got pretty long and thick hair, it takes a while anyway). This by far the best hairdryer I've owned. Well worth the extra $$ over the cheap $20-$30 dryers that I was running through before.

Product Rating: 2 Not all its cracked up to be...
Reviewer: Lisa   Mon Jan 23 2006

Looks nice, feels nice.... but ends there. Really heavy, even though it advertises how light it is supposed to be, and it didn't blowdry hair any faster than your average, basic blowdryer. Nothing special with this one, except for the above-average price.

Product Rating: 5 Wow, I'm really impressed!
Reviewer: Erin from Boston, MA  Thu Jan 19 2006

I'm kicking myself for not discovering this hair dryer earlier on. I recieved it quickly in the mail and tried it out right away. I purposely didn't use much conditioner and put in minimal product in order to test just how frizz-free it would make my hair.

The results were great! This was the only time in my life that I was able to blow dry my wavy, thick, non-shiny hair without it becoming a frizzy mess! It stayed smooth all during the drying process. When I was finished, my hair was shiny and I only had to do a small amount of finishing touches with my flat iron. I am so pleased with this purchase.

It was a little tricky at first finding the right orientation for my fingers on the handle so that I wouldn't accidentally click it off or change the settings, but I figured out that if I hold it further down and not wrap my fingers all the way around (sort of clutching the sides of the handle with my fingers)then it worked just great. And it wasn't too heavy. My conair felt only a little bit lighter than this, so it was still manageable.

Reviewer: Mary Kate from North Carolina  Sun Jan 15 2006

I got this hairdryer for christmas and at first I didn't like it but now I love it...

There is one concern..
1. It is a little heavy.. your arm gets tired

Product Rating: 5 My Girlfriend Loves it!
Reviewer: Rafael from Connecticut  Thu Jan 12 2006

I bought my Girlfriend this hairdryer for X-Mas and she loves its! Whenever we go out now I no Longer have to wait 20mins for her to dry her hair. This dryer cuts the time in half. Her hair looks and feels healthier and her hair shines like someone hooked her up with armorall. She looks fantastic!

There were two things that concerned her.
1. it was a little heavy.
2. the buttons are in an odd place so she kept shutting it off by accident but she is used to it now.

Product Rating: 3 Babylisspro Carrera Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer
Reviewer: anonymous   Tue Jan 10 2006

The hair dryer performs well with the exception of the placement of the buttons,which by their location keep getting hit by your hand and turning the dryer on and off. Dryer is slighly heavy and does not seem to dry my hair faster than other non Ionic Dryers.

Product Rating: 5 Great for long hair
Reviewer: Frances from Reston, VA  Mon Jan 09 2006

This is my first high quality hair dryer and it is amazing! I have long hair and this dryer cuts the drying time in half (really!) and leaves my somewhat frizzy hair shiny and smooth. Some comments have been made about the positioning of the switches, but I have not found that to be a problem. This dryer is much quieter than your average drug store model, and the long cord is a wonderful feature. If you are tired of blasting your eardrums and spending too much time drying your hair, this is the dryer for you - well worth the money.

Product Rating: 5 One of the Best Hair Dryers
Reviewer: Jim   Sat Jan 07 2006

The BablylissPro Carrera dryer has thus far proved to be one of the best we have used. Quietness, versatility, cost, and power are its greatest attributes. Service life is the only remaining unknown since we received it only two months ago. I would recommend it based on our experience.

Product Rating: 5 Worth the investment
Reviewer: Craig from Orlando, FL  Sat Jan 07 2006

Just pick it up and turn it on. You can feel and hear the quality. Worth every penny.

Product Rating: 4 A Must Have for People with Long Thick Hair
Reviewer: Ruth from Sudbury, MA  Wed Jan 04 2006

I Just used my BabylissPro Carrera Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer for the first time and I LOVE it. I have mid back length, thick hair and my old dryer took at least 25 minutes for my hair to be completely dry and it was torture with a curling brush to get the hair straight with any look of style to it. Using only a vented regular hair brush and my new dryer my hair was completely dry, straight, styled and shiny in only 7 minutes. However, I must agree with previous customers about the misplaced switches on the arm of the dryer. I turned my switches to cold twice by accident due to the positioning of the switches. The heaviness of the dryer also might be an issue for some, but for me-I will take this anyday over 25 minutes of torture drying. Overall a TERRIFIC purchase.

Product Rating: 5 there is a difference
Reviewer: Deborah from Washington state  Wed Jan 04 2006

I have used supermarket dryers for ever and my husband bought me the babyliss carrera when my latest 19.99 hair dryer was so loud he was concerened for my hearing and I love it!!! it really is faster quieter and better than any hair dryer ive ever owned!!

Product Rating: 4 love it
Reviewer: Carolina   Tue Jan 03 2006

this hairdryer make my hair feel like silk and look sooo smooth! it also cut my drying time in half and it straightens amazingly well, and does not damage my hair as much as others. Also while i had the setting on high heat it barely made me sweat--unlike other hair dryers!! bottom line, its good

Product Rating: 4 Great product
Reviewer: Nicole from Hamburg, NJ  Tue Jan 03 2006

This time I decided to spend more $$ on a dryer, one that will last more than a year. After reading reviews I decided this was the dryer for me.
I'm very happy with it. I have thermal straightened hair and I did notice my drying time is less, it also works great when I need to straighten my roots. I highly recommend this product.

Product Rating: 4 Worth It!
Reviewer: Laura from Birmingham, AL  Tue Jan 03 2006

I bought it when it was $100.00 and it as well worth it! What a great dryer. The low setting is enough power. The high setting can easily tangle your hair. I wish it would have come with a few attachments to centralize the heat/ All in All, well worth the price.

Product Rating: 3 Excellent but too heavy
Reviewer: Little P from CA  Thu Dec 29 2005

Everything is excellent but heavy weight. It may be too heavy for tiny women's wrist. I will exchange to other lighter ion dryer.
