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.

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.

Product Rating: 5 Great for African American hair!

This dryer is perfect for the smoothest, bounciest wrap you ever had! Delivers great results every time. In fact, I do not have to bump my hair nearly as much as I would with the traditional hand held dryer.

Evenly distributes heat and compact.

Product Rating: 1 don't work well
Reviewer: nancy adams from flagstaff, az  Wed Nov 28 2007

This prodct is hard to adjust and does not dry hair on your neck.

Product Rating: 4 Exactly what I was looking for.
Reviewer: Dawn from Washington, DC  Sun Nov 11 2007

I am completely satisfied with this dryer. It is exactly what I was looking for. I was slightly concerned by the comments that said the hood was too small to accommodate rollers (the only reason I was buying it and my rollers are large) but there was no problem for me. I can see that there is an issue with completely dring the rollers at the nape of my neck but I just move my head around (tilt it forward, to the left, to the right) and it is fine. If I knew how to divide up my hair onto the rollers I wouldn't ever need to go to the salon again. Great price, great product.

Product Rating: 5 Highly recommend this dryer and site!
Reviewer: Teresa from Cleveland, Ohio  Sun Nov 04 2007

I ordered it on a Tuesday night and received it by Friday. I've used it daily for the past month and it works great! I set it on medium and it's quite warm and dries my hair in 10 minutes. I highly recommend both this dryer and site!!

Reviewer: Angela from N.C.  Fri Nov 02 2007

I want to thank everybody for taking the time to write reviews, this is my first bonnet hairdryer and didn't know which brand to buy. Well the reviews are right. This is the best one out there, buy it you won't regret it.

Product Rating: 4 Hot Tools Salon Hair Dryer
Reviewer: D. York   Mon Oct 01 2007

I love this hair dryer! The 154 holes (vents) dry my thick, medium-length hair in an hour on medium and the hood is large enough inside for my jumbo rollers. I like the 4 choices of drying temps. (cold, low, medium and high) and I use it 3-4 times a week. The hood can be adjusted but not the height of the dryer. It arrived shortly after I ordered it. Only complaint: it is noisy when it is turned on and when it is turned off.

Product Rating: 5 This is the only hair dryer to own!
Reviewer: Ceci from Las Vegas, NV  Fri Aug 31 2007

Seriously - if you use a hair dryer at all, and it's not this one you're really missing out. This dryer is powerful, quiet and incredibly compact and easy to use. I sit it on the dining room table, turn a chair around and presto, instant salon. I bought one of these about 21 years ago, and just recently the cord wore out. I was thrilled to find a replacement on folica.com. Thanks so much.

Product Rating: 5 Wow!! did not imagine that this hair dryer was going to be that good!!!!!
Reviewer: Lis   Mon Aug 27 2007

Excellent item, this haur dryer rocks!!!!

Product Rating: 5 Very Good!
Reviewer: PATTY   Thu Aug 23 2007

It seems to work the same as the ones at the salon, which I know are a lot more expensive. I use this one to deep condition my long hair at home. It saves me money and I can purchase the best quality conditioner instead of whatever the salon is supplying.

Product Rating: 5 Very Pleased
Reviewer: Evelyn Luciano from Brooklyn  Wed Aug 22 2007

Excellent product, had been looking for something like this for some time and came across this product. Works wonderfully, is quiet and drys hair nicely. Recommend this product.

Product Rating: 5 About 95% of what I wanted
Reviewer: Genie Grohman from Washington, DC  Wed Aug 22 2007

I chose this product and this company because of the on-line reviews, With thick, kinky, graying hair--and not much patience to sit a long time--I wanted a powerful dryer. It is that, as well as easy to set up and lightweight. I am thoroughly satisfied.

Product Rating: 4 Very happy with purchase
Reviewer: anonymous from Boston, MA  Tue Aug 21 2007

First time I ordered from site. Very pleased with service and received item quickly. As far as dryer, I am very glad I ordered it. It dries my hair quickly and I am still experimenting with it. The hot setting is HOT! Air circulation is even and it is very easy to pack up and store. Worth the money!

Product Rating: 5 Best i have ever used!
Reviewer: Brittany from PA  Tue Aug 21 2007

Salon quality just great!!!!

Product Rating: 3 Like it but uncomfortable to use
Reviewer: GA   Mon Jul 30 2007

I kind of liked this dryer but it was uncorfortable to use. You have to find a table to put it, then something else to get the right height. I also found that my big roller didn't fit it so I had to move to get my hair completely dry. I returned this product and order the babyliss NON table dryer (let's see how it works...)

Product Rating: 5 A great product.
Reviewer: anonymous   Fri Jul 27 2007

It's always good to "get what you pay for" and that is how I feel about my new hair dryer. It is convenient and easy to use and works just like the driers at the beauty shop.
