| This is the first time in 20 years that I have bought a hair dryer. And I have never spent more than $20, on them! Now I GET it! Wow. What a difference a high end professional tool makes. This is a beautiful hair dryer. It is substantial, a gorgeous color and even has a rubber bumper to protect it and your counter tops. It's a very sleek Italian design and the power is amazing. My drying time went from 20 minutes with a regular cheapo dryer - same 1875 wattage - to FOUR minutes with this dryer. Great dryer. Now I am buying one for my mom, who has to have the thickest hair on the planet. I would NOT get this dryer for thin hair - but for really thick hair this would be a great choice. Not sure what the ion thing REALLY does - but it is fun - like the icing ;-) One other thing to mention - this hair dryer weighs at least 2x what my cheapie one ways - so if you are weak or have arm problems - you might want to think about that. This is a very substantial machine. |
Quiet but HEAVY and flattened my hair like a pancake!

I ordered this hair dryer based on rave reviews on [...] after having purchased a flat iron there, based on the same reviews. Loved the flat iron, didn't end up loving the hair dryer. My problems with the dryer are:
1) It's HEAVY! I have long hair, and holding this monster at an angle so that it blows downward to smooth the hair shaft is a workout. Not fun to do after already having worked out in the morning before drying one's hair. Seriously, it's no featherweight.
2) It looks cheap! The way it's put together, the showing bits of glue between seals, and the look of it, are just cheesy. It's not a flimsy Conair, so why does it remind me so much of one?
3) The ions work too well. If you have very poufy hair or curly hair I suppose you'd like this aspect, but my thick, straight locks didn't appreciate the way the dryer made my hair lay flat on my head. NO BODY no matter how I dried it.
The good things about this dryer:
1) It is solid, even if it looks cheap. Or so it feels in the hand.
2) It's relatively quiet.
I returned mine and ended up getting a CHI. I believe CHI makes better hair dryers, while Solia makes better flat irons. Maybe Solia should stick to what they do best and leave the hair dryers alone? |

I have always used hair dryers bought from Wal-Mart or Target. My old hair dryer died and living in a very humid climate, I decided to treat myself. I always had to style my hair after blow drying it, but with this hair dryer, I just dry and go! It’s so fantastic and my hair feels so soft and healthy. My friend’s husband asked me if I did something different with my hair, so when other men are noticing…it’s a good product. Go for it! You’ll save time and money in the long run
