Customer Reviews

Impressive dryer!
My wife is a cosmetologist. Who knew that one hair dryer could be so much better than another!? - I didn't. I got this for my wife for her birthday about 6 months ago after I heard her talking enviously about one another girl that works in her salon has. I was a little baffled when I saw how much they cost - so I did my homework. The technology used to dry the hair (ceramic heat & negative ions) makes the difference. She is able to dry hair in about half the time it used to take and without "frying" the hair. She absolutely loves it - I got lots of brownie points! I'm not sold on the "Low EMF," but I don't have a way of testing that out. I suppose it is a plus if indeed it does have a low EMF rating. Highly recommended!

Great Hairdryer
I bought this hairdryer over a year ago and its still working great. I haven't noticed it drying my hair that much quicker but its definately less frizzy and feels somewhat softer. I generally use the lower heat setting b/c the high heat is really hot! If you're wearing earrings or a necklace while blowdrying they will start burning your skin. I've bought a universal diffuser to use with this hairdryer and even on low heat it really heats up the diffuser attachment. I have to use a towel to remove the diffuser when I'm done. The cool shot button is great and the lights on the side of the hairdryer are neat even though they're unnecessary. I definately recommend this product but just take precautions so it doesn't burn you. Its also so much quieter than my old Conair. I don't feel like I need earplugs to use it. Low EMF was also another selling point for me.

Don't buy it for the low EMF claim
Most if not all "low EMF" claim for dryers is a marketing gimmick. How they do it? "Low EMF hair dryers use an elongated tube to route hot air to your hair without placing the motor/heater assembly close to your head."

Farouk doesn't even know what EMF is. In its presss release for the launch of its Valentines Day Limited Edition, Farouk spells out EMF as "electro-magnetic force". Well, that EMF is Einstein's concern, whereas ours is "electro-magnetic field".

It's also utter nonsense that "moist heat that dries hair quicker". Moisture in the air always slows down water evaporation, that's why we take wet towel out of shower enclosure to dry.

So buy a long tube with lower wattage from Target or Walmart, save money, save energy while also saving yourself from EMF exposure.
