Product Rating: 1 on/off switch won't work after 5 times using it
Reviewer: Tam Foree   Tue Oct 20 2009

I am really lucky that the dryer on off switch won't turn off. I just plug it in and unplug it to make it work but really, why would the on off switch stop working. I can move the switch but nothing happens. I do like the dryer other than that. I really love that it is large enough that I can use large rollers and still fit under the hood.

Product Rating: 1 Dryer stop working after 2 weeks!!!!
Reviewer: Rita from Raleigh, NC, US  Wed Sep 30 2009

I would not recommend someone to buy this dryer. I had a hard time drying the back of my hair, the holes are only at the top of the dryer...so i had to sit in wierd positions to get my hair dry. Not only did I have problems drying my hair it died after two weeks of having it. Thank goodness it died when it did...I sent it back...I want my money back for this piece of junk. I usually don't write reviews but I want you ladies to know the TRUTH.

Product Rating: 2 nothing special...
Reviewer: Star from SC  Thu Jul 30 2009

i bought this dryer along with some other products towards the end of may. i just used it for the first time this week(i only bought it to use with the aphogee 2 step treatment).

the good thing is it's works. the bad is i expected more of it. but again it works. if you can hold a hand dryer do that instead.

Product Rating: 1 Piece of crap
Reviewer: heather   Fri May 01 2009

This dryer does not get very hot or dry very well. Hardly any air comes through it. The only spots that do get good air flow is the very front. The product does not easily adjust. Not very stable when sitting on a flat surface it still tends to drop forward. Sure it pretty silent compared to most dryers but with long hair you will be sitting under if for hours just to get dry and the back would still be wet. Save your money and get a bonnet instead.

Product Rating: 4 great deal, tight for huge rollers,works well
Reviewer: wendy from LA  Thu Feb 05 2009

I have a friend that purchased one for her heat conditioning treatments and occasional roller use, I tried hers and liked it and purchased one myself. When I use my really big rollers I have to stuff my head into the hood, but it works fine. I have really long hair and find that it still takes about an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half at the highest heat setting to get the hair fully dry. I am still glad to save money by doing my hair at home. I set my hair on rollers about four times a week and also use the dryer for conditioning twice a week on high for maybe 90 minutes. So far i really like the dryer and find it pretty comfy.

Product Rating: 4 Great Dryer/Wonderful Price!
Reviewer: Andrea   Sun Aug 17 2008

A very good dryer! I needed to do roller sets at home, so I purchased this dryer. It has sufficient heat and drys my hair quite well (even the back of my roller sets). The only thing I don't like is that I'm having a hard time finding a height appropriate surface on which to sit the dryer and a comfortable chair to use with it. I consider those to be minor issues that don't detract from the dryer's performance.

Product Rating: 5 Great Product!
Reviewer: Sue from Onalaska, WI  Fri May 16 2008

I just received the hair dryer and I LOVE IT! My hair is very thick, curly and about chin length and it dryed in 10 minutes! It's the greatest!!!

Product Rating: 4 it's just okay.
Reviewer: peytnluvsjrmy   Thu May 15 2008

i don't use this dryer for rollers, i use it just to dry my hair in the morning. it was hard for me to find the perfect place to sit it without having to stack books on my chair or hit my head while trying to get under it. it dried the top of my hair really fast and made my hair overall really soft, but the ends didn't dry at all.

Product Rating: 2 Hard to Adjust
Reviewer: Terri Hinton   Sun May 04 2008

I would give this dryer five stars if only if would stay in the position where I place it. The front of the dryer continuously falls downward when I want it to stay upward. Very disappointed.

Product Rating: 5 Hot Tools hair dryer
Reviewer: Tiffany from Waldorf, Md  Fri Apr 18 2008

I must admit that I was a little skeptical about ordering this hair dryer until I read so many positive reviews. I still have my Lady Dazey that was probably purchased in 1988/89. Unfortunately it was no longer drying my hair properly and after wasting alot of money on useless hair dryers I stumbled upon the folica website. I want to thank everyone for their reviews and this Hot Tools hair dryer is JUST like my Lady Dazey. Also, thanks to folica because my hairdryer was delivered the very next day.

Product Rating: 5 Best Dryer and very affordable!
Reviewer: Fabiola from Brooklyn, New York  Tue Feb 26 2008

I purchased this Dryer 8 months ago, it takes 45 minutes for my hair to dry with roller set. It gets as hot as the dryers in the salon,For the price, Im in shock it works so good. You do need a Table to put it on and then adjust it, after that is very comfortable.

Product Rating: 5 So far, its great!!
Reviewer: Janet   Wed Feb 20 2008

I love the Hot Tools professional salon bonnet dryer, I would recommend anyone who wants to make their hair at home to invest in one. When i came to America, i was so frustrated because i was not used to making my own hair(in Kenya salon service is real cheap)Having relaxed hair, i needed something that would work for my hot oil treatments, deep conditioning and roller sets. I trusted the previous reviews on this dryer and I do not regret my decision. The dryer is effective, easy to use and has four heat settings, the meduim heat setting is hot enough, I don't even need to set it on high. I love this dryer, i'm even thinking of buying my mother (who's in Kenya) one and mailing it to her!! If you wanna invest in a dryer, invest in this one, its affordable and will give you the salon look you want.

Product Rating: 5 Great Product, Great Price

Product Rating: 5 Exactly what we wanted
Reviewer: Judy from Wis.  Mon Feb 04 2008

The dryer was exactly what we were looking for. Unlike the one we looked at at a local Salon products store this one opens and closes great. Very easy to use. Had to get use to repostioning a little to get the back of hair dry but once that was figured out all is great. Several shut in Ladys can now get thier hair done!

Product Rating: 4 hair dryer
Reviewer: anonymous from missouri  Fri Jan 25 2008

good,fast,quiet, control knob to flat hard to change settings or turn on-off....good price

Product Rating: 5 Works great!
Reviewer: Francine   Wed Jan 23 2008

I have curly hair so a regular blow dryer won't work. I just lightly towel dry my hair after my shower and put a little leave-in conditioner in it, then sit down under my Hot Tools dryer for ten minutes while I lotion up my feet and read a morning devotional. It's really a nice way to start the day! Ten minutes gets my hair almost dry, dry enough that it is totally dry by the time I leave the house about 45 minutes later. I'm really very happy with this product, and it was a great price.

Product Rating: 4 Hot air blast from the past
Reviewer: D.C. from Toronto  Thu Jan 17 2008

I didn't purchase this from Folica (I'm in Canada and the shipping charges would have been excessive) but I did use Folica.com to research bonnet hairdryers, and the glowing reviews here all pointed me in this product's direction. Basically I wanted the closest thing I could get to the classic hard-bonnet dryers of the '60s, and this item seemed to fit the bill. (I would *love* an actual vintage dryer, but I've never found one in a thrift shop and again, shipping charges would negate whatever bargain I might find on eBay.) It works just like the old Lady Sunbeam my mother had, and dries my roller sets in about 45 minutes or so--though I don't set my hair sopping wet, just lightly dampened with setting lotion, and the medium setting is about as hot as I can stand. It must be pretty well built--one of the handles on the box broke while I was carrying it home, causing me to drop it on a subway platform, but I don't see any signs of damage and it's been working just fine. I only wish they used a nicer grade of plastic with a shiny finish, just so it'd feel even more like a classic dryer of yesteryear--but the appearance does not detract from its performance.

Product Rating: 5 Great Deal!!!
Reviewer: Roberta from florida  Fri Jan 11 2008

Great for Roller Setting, doing hot treatments, demi-colors processing. It definetly won`t blow dry your hair flat. But that's not what's meant to do. I loved it.
