Product Rating: 4 Made me a believer
Reviewer: Lili   Tue Jun 12 2007

This is my first non-drugstore hair dryer, didn't think that spending more money would make a difference on how my hair looked.

I'm happy to say that this hair dryer proved me wrong. While it did not cut my drying time (about 15 minutes) it left my hair straighter than any other hair dryer ever did. It looks exactly like my hair looks like after my hair dresser is done with it. Even the back looks great, which I always left somewhat messed up with my other dryer.

The dryer is somewhat quieter than my old one, but not that quiet. I accidentally changed the temperature from warm to cool while holding it but only once, somehow my fingers do not reach all the way across where they can interfere with the buttons that much.

The weight was not an issue, I was afraid at first when I picked it up but I didn't even notice the weight while drying my hair.

In all, very happy with my purchase.

i love this blow dryer - It drys my hair so fast - my whole head takes 20 minutes. Used to take about 45 minutes. and it leaves it so shiny smooth that I dont even need the flat iron as much anymore.. Totally worth spending the money on!

Product Rating: 3 Bad Shelf Life
Reviewer: Toni from Jersey City, NJ  Mon Apr 23 2007

The dryer itself worked great on my thick, coarse, curly hair. It cut my drying time by about 20 minutes and it always made my hair very shiny and straight. I didn't even have to use a flat iron after blowing drying. However, because I use blow dryers so often (every other day for about an hour a session) they tend to break very quickly (I go through the cheaper dryers about every 3 months). I only had this dryer for about 8 months before it started to lose heat and airflow power. It also began sparking and smelled like it was burning. Overall, I would recommended this dryer for it's performance but only if you're drying routine is limited. I think that a $70 dryer should last longer than 8 months, even with extended use.

Product Rating: 4 I recomend this hair dryer!
Reviewer: Lee from Vancouver, B.C  Sat Apr 21 2007

Ilove this hair dryer because my hair gets dry very fast and not damaging my hair. But sometime it leaves my hair a little bit freezy when I use the hot temperature.
it also helps building the body volume. Overall, I really recomend it since the price isn't too bad and the quality of the hair dryer is very good relative to the price!

Product Rating: 4 Love it!
Reviewer: Teresa from Lake Forest, California  Fri Apr 20 2007

I love this blowdryer! It's a great dryer for the right price. I have fine hair which has become quite frizzy and this blowdryer takes out most of the frizz in my hair. It really has improved the look of my hair. The only thing I don't like is sometimes I click the on/off button to off while using the dryer, but it's not that bad. I highly recommend this dryer to anyone.

Product Rating: 5 Excellent dryer!!
Reviewer: anonymous from Queens, NY  Mon Apr 19 2007

my last hairdryer died on me while I was in the middle of drying my hair.........bummer. Was really upset because I had a special occasion to go to. This is an excellent hair dryer, I have long thick hair and it only takes me 20 minutes to dry my hair. It use to take me an hour. Definitely worth your money!!

Product Rating: 5 THE BEST BLOW DRYER I HAVE EVER USED!
Reviewer: TIFFANY from CALIFORNIA  Mon Apr 19 2007

I HAVE CRAZY CURLY HAIR AND I STYLE IT CURLY AND STRAIGHT. IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT FOR ME TO FIND A DRYER THAT WORKED EQUALLY WELL WHEN DOING TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STYLES. IT WORKS QUICKLY AND THATS THE KEY TO COMBING MY HAIR, GET IT STYLED BEFORE IT HAS TIME TO FRIZZ. THE ONLY THING I HAD TO GET USE TO WAS THE WEIGHT. IT IS A BIT HEAVY FOR A BLOW DRYER BUT I GOT USE TO IT REALLY QUICKLY. NOW I HARDLY NOTICE IT.

Product Rating: 2 Way Too Heavy
Reviewer: Anonymous   Mon Apr 02 2007

Other consumers weren't joking when they said this dryer is heavy. Not to mention it drys your hair too quickly. . .with little control. I returned this item and purchased a cheapo.

Product Rating: 4 Hair not a mess anymore
Reviewer: Kristin L. from ohio  Fri Mar 30 2007

This hair dryer is great. Quickly dries my hair and my hair does not end up a frizzy mess when I'm done. I can actually just dry my hair with this and not have to do anything else to make my hair look descent.

Product Rating: 4 Great Product - Takes Getting Used To
Reviewer: Anonymous from Sacramento, CA  Thu Mar 29 2007

Who would have guessed a hairdryer would affect my hair more than products? I agree with others, my hair looks like my stylist finished it when I use this dryer. I only use serum to smooth my naturally wavy hair if it is foggy or rainy out. The only things I had to get used to: the buttons are placed oddly, leading to inadvertant holding down of the "cool shot" button. And the dryer is more powerful, 1900 watts vs. my old dryer at 1875 watts, you can really feel the difference! The increased power made the ends of my hair more tangled when first drying, especially given the new grip I had to use because of the button placement. And my brushes "work" better....the jumbo 3" barrel brush now gives me curl, with my old dryer it was my straightening brush. I now know why my stylist uses a paddle brush to straighten my hair!
Now that I am used to the feel of the dryer, my technique has improved. I sometimes can't believe the results!

Product Rating: 5 Excellent Dryer
Reviewer: DIANA from NY,NY  Wed Mar 28 2007

VERY SATISFIED WITH THIS HAIR DRYER

Product Rating: 5 Great Dryer
Reviewer: Kari from Montana  Sat Mar 24 2007

I really like this dryer. It comes with an attachment that is not listed. It is a very heavy duty and industrial/professional looking dryer. It is also very powerful and leaves my hair very silky and smooth. It is slightly heavier then my old one, but not bothersome. I would definatley recommend it to anyone.

Product Rating: 5 Excellent Dryer!!
Reviewer: LC from CA  Fri Mar 23 2007

This is the best dryer I have ever owened! It is gentle on my hair and dries quick and evenly. VEry light weight. I love it.

Product Rating: 4 Definitely speeds up the process
Reviewer: Michelle from Dallas, TX  Tue Mar 20 2007

I am very happy with this purchase. It was a great price for an ionic blowdryer, and it works like a charm. I still have to concentrate on the correct brushing technique if I want a smooth finish, but the actual time it takes to dry my thick, long hair is definitely reduced (from about 15 minutes to less than 10 minutes). I would definitely recommend this blowdryer to my friends & family!

Product Rating: 4 babyliss dryer
Reviewer: MICHELLE from banner, kentucky  Mon Mar 19 2007

THIS IS A REAL HEAVY DUTY PRODUCT. FEELS LIKE QUALITY.
IS A LITTLE ON THE HEAVY SIDE THOUGH. BUT ALL IN ALL
A GOOD PURCHASE.

Product Rating: 4 Best Dryer I've Ever Owned
Reviewer: Connie from Indiana  Thu Mar 15 2007

This dryer takes less than half the time to dry my hair than any other dryer I have ever owned. It is a little heavy, but does a quality job.

Product Rating: 5 WOW
Reviewer: Miami Girl   Tue Mar 13 2007

This product is so womderful. I have long hair that would take 30 min to dry, with this hair dryer I cut the time in half.

Product Rating: 5 Awesome dryer!
Reviewer: Amanda from Alberta, Canada  Sat Mar 10 2007

I bought this dryer after reading lots of reviews. I have now had the dryer for about 6 months, and I absolutely love it!! I have extremely thick hair, which is naturally wavy. It used to take me 35+ minutes just to dry my hair comepletely, plus time for straightening. Now, I dry and straighten my hair in less than 20 minutes (I use a 1" GHD ceramic staighener). I would reccommend this dryer to anyone, with really, any type of hair. It is a bit on the heavy side, but you get used to it within the first couple of uses. I can't say it enough, the power of this tool is amazing!

Product Rating: 5 An Excellent Hair Dryer
Reviewer: Kathleen Pendergast Myers from Framingham, Massachusetts  Thu Mar 08 2007

I have a lot of thick, wavy, color-treated hair with a lot of grey in it. It has always taken me a good 20 minutes to get my hair dry but it was hard to style. It would still tend to frizz. Doing my hair was just a drag. Things have changed with this hairdryer - It packs a powerful rush of air against your hair, drying it quickly and without frizzing it. I still use a couple of boar bristle brushes to style it, but now they work much better to make my hair smooth, shiny, straight, light and silky--that's a lot for my mane--and I'm done in 10 minutes! It's fun to use because it's so fast and the results are so good. I can't recommend this product enough. It's the best hairdryer I've ever owned, and I've owned an awful lot of them.

Product Rating: 4 It's a great blowdryer but be careful!
Reviewer: Kristin   Tue Mar 06 2007

I was really impressed with this blowdryer and how it left my long hair so straight in only 15 minutes. One day, I smelt hair burning and realized the blowdreyer had melted my brush and a section of my hair was stuck to it and fell off. It is not very noticeable but it was about 2 inches of a thin layer of hair. I am still using the blow dryer but never on hot!
