Elchim 2001 Professional Hair Dryer (Elchim Classic)
-
AnonymousElchim 2001I wanted this hair dryer for a long time and finally got it for Christmas. Before this I had a Babyliss. The Elchim is much better, especially for temperature control. My hairdresser once told me that the expensive dryers were expensive not because of the heat they attain but because of the force of the air. All this to say I wanted more air and less heat. I am very happy with the heat consistency of the Elchim. This dryer drys my hair in 10 mins as opposed to the Babyliss that took 20mins. With the Babyliss my hair didnt actually feel as dry as it does with the Elchim. Might sound crazy but me theory is, because the heat on the Babyliss was so high, it just dried the outside of the shaft but not the inside. I live in Montreal, where it gets very cold in the winter, I would notice any level of wetness in my hair when I leave the house believe me!posted Feb 12, 2009Link to this post

DbSan Antonio,TXElchim 2001 Professional Hair DryerIt does dry my hair fast and it is ALOT quieter than than my last dryer(different brand)from Folica. It is also lighter which I "really" like. There are two buttons a red one for speed (high,medium,off) and a black one for temperature (hot,medium,cool). I had to figure that out by myself because the instructions that come with the hair dryer dont come in English and that is the reason I didnt give it a "5". "I" have to email the manufacture to see if they have instructions in English as per customer service.posted Feb 12, 2009Link to this post

KarenOrmond Beach, FLFrizzy In Florida No More!I LOVE this hair dryer. I have very long wavey, layered hair that can get unruly in the humidty. On days when I want a smooth polished look, I would blow dry, then flat iron it, and even then, I might get through a couple of hours before the waves spring back and then the friz takes over. Not with this hair dryer. I have smooth, shiney, bouncey hair that feels so silky in way less than half the time. My blow-out stays smooth without the need for the straightening tools! My hair even looks healthier. This is absolutely the best hair dryer I have ever had.posted Feb 11, 2009Link to this post

SandraHairCurly HairSending Mine BackI guess Im in the minority here but I did not see the big deal about this dryer. I bought it based on the reviews. One of my biggest gripes about the dryer is the heat. The medium heat setting is so weak its almost cold. The hot setting is way too hot. I need the medium heat setting to be warmer. The second thing I dont like about this dryer is the placement of the switches. I kept accidentally changing the settings with my fingers as I dried my hair since the buttons are so easy to flip and they are right on the grip. I am exchanging this dryer for another BaByliss Pro Ceramix Xtreme. I love that hairdryer. It works great, is powerful, has a very warm medium setting that is perfect for my thick curly hair, the buttons are the kind that you push up and down so there is no chance I accidentally change settings during drying and it has been very reliable. I have dropped that thing SO many times that it is now finally starting to crack in a couple of places. I travel with it a lot too. Overall I havent been kind to it but it still works great! My sister loves it so much she wants me to give mine to her. It just looks a little ragged now and Im afraid Im going to break it at some point. If that happens I want to have a backup.posted Jan 18, 2009Link to this post

AndreaEast Hanover, NJAmazedMy hair stylist recommended this dryer. I did not know what a difference a dryer could make - it dryed my hair quickly and straightning was easier too. My hair is shiny and silky. You wont be disappointed with this purchase.posted Dec 25, 2008Link to this post

LeanneJacksonville, FlNo Longer SkepticalI was always skeptical of high priced dryer. I wasnt sure if they were really worth the extra money. My hair always looked different when my stylist did it. It was always shiny and smooth. I was never able to get the same results. I attributed this to her experience and skill. Now, I know that the proper styling tools make a huge difference. I blow dried my hair with my new blow dryer for the 1st time yesterday. It was shiny and smooth. Finally I was able to get that salon look at home. I didnt use any hair spray and this morning when I woke up my hair still looked great.posted Dec 7, 2008Link to this post

TabithaHouston, TexasHappy...After recommendation from my new stylist, I purchased this dryer. I was fed up with my crappy Chi dryer just not cutting the mustard. I must admit, for the less than $100.00 price tag, I was somewhat leary. I planned on paying at least $200.00 for a really good dryer. But, to my surprise, this morning, after my first at home, do it yourself, Elchim, hair dryâ¦I am very pleased. My hair feels soft and looks much shinier than usual. Although my dry time was no less or more, the outcome of my hair by far outweighs this negative. Airflow from the Elchim is above average in strength and I love the many options of heat and power. I am only sad it did not come with a diffuser. I look forward to my next blow-dry!posted Dec 2, 2008Link to this post

Elizabeth KizerFresno CaNo More FrizzI read the reviews and I am glad I did. I have VERY thick wavy hair and this is the only hair dryer I have ever used that dried it all the way through to my scalp without burning the outer layers it left it silky smooth and soft no frizz at all in less than half the time. I have tried different ceramic and touralamine dryers and this has worked the best for me it is also very sturdy. I LOVE IT !My sister has the same thick hair I am going to buy her one for X-Mas.posted Nov 9, 2008Link to this post

Laura HopeMust HaveI bought this dryer at my hairstylists recommendation and I love it. I have very think,long hair and it blows it straight in half the time. I let friends borrow it that were so impressed, they bought one too! I have had the T3 and it is highly overpriced and does not perform as well. With this dryer, I hardly ever have to use my straightner, even in Florida where it is humid.posted Aug 27, 2008Link to this post

PamNew York, New YorkAwesome DryerBefore I purchased this dryer I always used the cheapie Conair ones that I could pick up at Target or Walmart. Then one day I was on vacation with friends and I used someones Elchim dryer. As soon as I used it I noticed an immediate difference. I never would have thought to go out and spend $100 on a blowdryer but it is SO worth it! My hair is shiny, the layers are more defined and it is not at all frizzy. I am totally obsessed with this dryer!posted Aug 5, 2008Link to this post
