Reviewer: Dallas from Florida  Wed Dec 27 2006

It's great! I even bought one for my mom. Well worth the money!

Product Rating: 5 Worth the money!
Reviewer: Deneen   Tue Dec 26 2006

I got this dryer for Christmas and LOVE it! The result is a healthier feeling and looking hair. My hair styled much better too (and faster!). I agree with some of the other remarks though about the button placement feature. I can't use it without hitting a button. The makers need to redesign that feature. Don't let that discourage you from getting one of these though!

Product Rating: 4 great product!
Reviewer: jocelyn from Wilkes Barre, PA  Tue Dec 26 2006

My boyfriend bought me this hair dryer for Christmas, I was a little hesitant at first, but it is amazing!! It really does dry my hair faster, and my hair is 90% less frizzier than normal and much softer and shinier. I can't believe the price he paid for a hair dryer, but I love it!

Reviewer: Barbara A. Fernandez from New York City  Wed Dec 20 2006

Received my order in a few short days. The Babyliss Pro Carrera Ceramic Ionic is wonderful, dries my hair in half the time. Love it. And loved the ease of ordering thru Folica. Will use Folica again and again. Thanks for the excellent service.

Product Rating: 4 Not too shabby....
Reviewer: Amy   Mon Dec 11 2006

Being a marketer's dream who buys almost anything promised to be fabulous, I had my doubts about this hair dryer. However, I genuinely found myself impressed with it.

Some preliminaries...yes, the dryer is heavier than what I'm used to. But, once you start using it, you don't even notice the weight differential. The chord length makes a huge difference....who'd have thought I could make use of that much chord? I don't, contrary to other complaints I had read, find myself accidentally turning the hair dryer off due to the placement of the buttons. Anyone who's ever used a hair dryer knows that's where the buttons are.

The hair dryer itself is super powerful, so much so that I find the best result for my curly, frizz prone locks is the medium setting, not the high setting. However, no matter what setting I use, my hair is remarkably softer afterwards and dry much quicker than with my old drugstore hair dryer. I'm not sure how this magic happens, but I'll accept it just the same.

Thus, overall, I've very pleased with this hair dryer and believe it's worth the price I paid for it.

Product Rating: 5 WOW!!!!!!!
Reviewer: Nicole Puce from albany, ny  Wed Nov 22 2006

This has to be the best hair dryer I have ever purchased. My hair is very thick and coarse and dry...and all of everyhting people dont want their hair to be. With the very first use of this hair dryer I noticed not only my hair dryed in less than half the time but it also came out very shiny. I still needed to use my straightner, but that is only becasue my hair is litterally a big ball of frizz. I couldnt believe this hair dryer it made my hair very straigth. My haior is usually curly and wiht the use fo other hair dryers my hair dryes waivy....and I HATE IT!!.... but wiht this hair dryer my hair was not waivy it was straighth and smooth and soft and everyhitng wonderfull.. I highly recomend this hair dryer to anyone wiht nasty crazy hair

Product Rating: 5 The Best
Reviewer: anonymous from Houston, Texas  Tue Nov 21 2006

This is the best hairdryer I have ever had or used. I am going to let my daughter try it when she comes visit because I think she will want one too. Had no trouble with the controls even though they are on the handle, most hairdryers have them in the same position. Fast, keeps hair shiny and no frizzies.

Product Rating: 2 Not impressed
Reviewer: tonia from orlando  Mon Nov 20 2006

I am not impressed with this dryer at all. After reading all the reviews I went ahead and ordered this. I did notice that several reviews pointed out the bad location of the on/off buttons and speed buttons. I decided to get this anyway because my old dryer has the buttons in the same area as this one and it never bothered me. Well what I have found out is its not JUST the location of the controls but also the fact that the are very easy to accidentally mash down and change the setting while blow drying. I am constantly changing the settings or turning the thing off by accident! I expected a much more well thought out design for the brand name and the money. Heck I could have designed a better one than this. Also it dries my hair NO faster than the cheap one I had. Now I am stuck with it.....

Product Rating: 4 Great
Reviewer: Zai from Windsor, ON  Fri Nov 17 2006

So, i purchased this item becuase my sister in law needed a professional hair dryer for christmas and then i realized my hair dryer wasnt very good so because it was on sale i purchased one for myself. And i must say i am glad i did.
Its wonderful. Dryes my hair faster and leaves it shinier and soft.
My other hair dryer wasnt hot enough so it hurt my hair for longer drying time.
I like it, but did have to get used to holding it a certain way, and did have to get used to it shacking a bit (vibrates) but besides that its amazing.
I loved this site for providing reviews of each product, i feel that i made the right choice for now, but if i ever need a change i will most certainly come back here to get the product.
I told all my friends about this site, and being contacted later on for a review of what i had purchased was a nice touch as well.

Looking forward to hearing the review my sister in law will have to give.

Thanks.

Zai

Product Rating: 4 a great hairdryer
Reviewer: susan from Rockville, MD  Tue Nov 07 2006

In general it is a great hair dryer. The one poor design feature on it is the nozzle. I had to remove it because it does not swivel to different directions.

Product Rating: 5 Powerful and effective
Reviewer: Colleen from Minneapolis, MN  Mon Nov 06 2006

This hairdryer delivers, great power, great drying time, and beautiful results.

Product Rating: 5 Great Product
Reviewer: Parker Collins from Rancho Santa Margarita, CA  Mon Nov 06 2006

This hairdryer works great and has cut my wifes drying time in half! We have been using for about 3 weeks and so far no complaints. We would definitely recommend this hair dryer.

Product Rating: 5 I'll never go back to the Super Solano
Reviewer: Jill from PA  Tue Oct 24 2006

I thought I couldn't live without my Super Solano hair dryer..until I tried this one! My hair is really thick and wavy. Now, I don't even need my flat iron. This hairdryer cut down my drying time not to mention its not nearly as heavy as the Super Solano. It's fabulous!

Product Rating: 3 Nice but...
Reviewer: Anonymous from California  Mon Oct 23 2006

I ordered based on the stellar reviews. I've always wondered if a more pricey hair dryer was better than a "drugstore brand." This dryer is without a question high quality and solidly built. However, it is like standing under an airplane engine (and sounds like one too)! In my opinion, it is too heavy and powerful for everyday use. I actually get the same results from a drugstore hairdryer and a good ceramic brush. Maybe the dry time is a few minutes longer but I'm not blasting my ears or those of my apartment neighbors! Sorry but I just didn't see that big of a difference between this ddryer and my ol' drugstore brand.

Product Rating: 4 ONE ANNOYING THING
Reviewer: SHERI from NEW YORK, NY  Tue Oct 17 2006

THIS IS GREAT. GETS NICE AND HOT. DRIES YOUR HAIR IN NO TIME BUT ONE ANNOYING THING IS THAT YOU CAN NOT TURN THE NOZZLE SO IT MAKES IT KIND OF HARD TO HOLD IT FLAT TO YOUR HAIR. WHEN YOU ARE DRYING SOMEONES ELSES HAIR THOUGH IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER. SO I GUESS IT IS BETTER FOR A HAIRDRESSER.

Product Rating: 5 Great dryer
Reviewer: christie from dallas, tx  Fri Oct 13 2006

A little heavy but quieter than most dryers and dries hair faster.

Product Rating: 4 Pretty good for the price you pay
Reviewer: Cheryl from Toronto, Canada  Sun Oct 01 2006

First of all, let me mention the bad things about this hair dryer: it's a bit on the heavy side, and it vibrates a bit while you're drying your hair. The positioning of the switches does require some getting used to, but this can be avoided by holding the dryer by its nozzle. But aside from all that, this hair dryer works pretty well. It's SUPER powerful, so my long hair (mid back) takes only about 15 minutes or so to straighten and fully dry. Let's just say that it's so powerful, that it STEAMS the water right out of my damp hair.

Product Rating: 4 Good Blow Dryer
Reviewer: Emily from Seattle, WA  Sat Sep 30 2006

I like this blow dryer quite a bit. Contrary to other reviews, I have not found it to be too heavy, but sturdy. The buttons are in a spot that I was not used to at first, but like all things, you get used to it and hold it a bit differently after awhile. The only thing I was suprised by was how hot it got. It gets hotter than the average drugstore dryer, but I guess I thought it would get a bit hotter. However, it blows really hard and dries my hair quickly, so it doesn't really matter. It is probably healthier for my hair this way. My hair looks softer and less poofy than with other blow dryers too. Overall, a great product.
