Shark SpeedStyle Essential High-Velocity Dryer with Concentrator Lightweight Ionic No Heat Damage Best for Straight and Wavy Hair

I’m writing this as a real customer — not sponsored, and not paid in any way. I absolutely love this Shark hair dryer. The quality completely exceeded my expectations. It feels high-end, lightweight, and very well made. From the first use, I could tell it was a major upgrade from my previous dryer. It dries my hair incredibly fast without leaving it frizzy or overheated. I have medium-thick, and very long hair, and now can be fully styled in just minutes. The airflow is powerful but controlled, and the heat settings are easy to adjust. The cool shot actually works like it’s supposed to, which isn’t always the case with other dryers. Another big plus is how quiet it is. Even with the strong performance, it doesn’t have that loud, harsh sound most hair dryers do. The attachments are excellent quality as well — they snap on securely and make styling smooth and easy. I’ve used a much more expensive brand in the past that everyone raves about, and honestly, this Shark dryer is better in both quality and price point. It performs in my opinion better, for a fraction of the cost. If you’re debating between this and a higher-priced brand, save your money and get this one. It’s powerful, efficient, and leaves my hair looking smoother and shinier every time. I would absolutely buy it again and highly recommend it. Read more

Amazing dryer with a VERY strong air flow. The straightener attachment works great. Pretty loud though is my only complaint I wish they could dampen that somehow it was somewhere near 87-90db! Dries my hair SO fast tho! Ill just have to wear earplugs. :) Gets really hot but u can also set it low. I found it easier to use than the dyson because their filter was on the handle I kept covering it. A LOT cheaper too! The shark is light as well! My hair was soft after I got the hang of it took me a couple times. Great design. Read more

Great, powerful blow dryer!! My hair dries in half the time as my last dryer. The dryer is lightweight and easy to control. Came with some attachments that I havent really used yet but will play with them. Highly recommend spending a little to get this!! Read more

I am giving the Shark SpeedStyle Pro four stars instead of five stars because of the power cord (we’ll get to that). The dryer, itself, is light weight and easy to handle. I have dry, color-treated hair, and I find the Shark helps keep frizz down and doesn’t give me the heat damage my old ConAir did. I use the Concentrator attachment all the time, and I use the Anti-Frizz attachment on occasion. The “cool air” button is easy to reach while you’re drying your hair. It dries my hair quickly without causing static. The power cord, though, ugh. There is a heavy box thing (power adapter? shock prevention?) near the plug that makes the power cord bulky and difficult to wrap up neatly. The extra weight and bulk makes it harder to store or pack in a suitcase. Perhaps the box thing is unavoidable, but I can’t help but think there are no women on Shark’s electrical engineering team. That said, I’ve gotten over my disappointment with the power cord, and I do really like this blow dryer. It’s my first “high-end” blow dryer, and I do feel it is worth the extra cost. Assuming it has a good, long lifespan, I’ll consider it a good choice. So far, so good. Read more

Definitely worth it. I have really thick, long hair. This cut dry time in half. It has 3 different heat settings or you can turn the heat off. It also has the 3 different speed settings. The design is sleek, easy to use and it’s quiet (in my opinion). I’ve only had it about a week but so far I love it. Feels like salon quality. Read more

First use today—So far so really like the dryer. It was outstanding on my curly hair. Haven’t tried the other parts, but I’m sure they are going to work great too. It really does dry fast and hurray…no frizz at all. Weighs a bit more than my former dryer, but it works so fast and so good…I don’t have a problem. The diffuser is amazing..I’d say worth buying the dryer especially if you have curls or waves and would like some volume ( that was a fun bonus). Read more

Works faster and quieter than my old hair dryer to defuse my thick curly hair. I love that it has a long cord and is sash for smaller hands to hold. Haven’t had it long enough to know durability but I am hopeful. So far my only complaint would be that there is a high pitched whistle that I can tune out but others with sensitive ears may not be able to do so. The low heat setting is still pretty warm but the cool burst & scalp guard definitely help. Overall my curls have been curling without frizz and in half the time of my other dryer. Read more
