Heat Settings Not Marked3
There are no markings for the heat settings and I am not sure whether to spin the dial clockwise or counter clockwise to increase/decrease the heat. Either way feels really hot to me and I don't want to leave my finger on the flat iron long enough to do a "feel the heat" test. Advice appreciated.

Customer Reviews

I love it!5
I have had this hair dryer for almost 4 years. It works great. It's easy to travel with even though it looks big. After a few years the comb-teeth started to break off and that's more because I didn't take care of it much. Otherwise, it lasts longer, still runs great and has solved all my hair needs ever!! I used to have the older version of this that lasted me 3 years also (1999-2002) when it finally died. I can't live without this dryer!

Finally Found It5
My last VS dryer quit working and after buying the Andis 1875 3-months ago as a replacement and using it until I couldn't stand it anymore, I searched and found the VS in the Housewares section of Amazon (only 3 left in stock) after I received message from the other Amazon area where hairdryers are listed that the VS was out of stock. This VS model is lighter than the Andis, has the correct brush that will lift your hair (the Andis' Boars Hair bristles brush is like using a soft paint brush to brush your hair)and the VS has 3-speeds which include the Medium/heat speed I was missing (Andis only has a Hi and Low / with a Turbo button that's hard to reach). Since this VS is apparently no longer in production (but should be) I should have done like a few other reviewers noted and bought two. The last VS I had was similar to this one and lasted 10-years before the cord shorted out (from too much twisting). At this rate, two more would last 20 -years. That's a good deal.

powerful dryer5
One of the few styler/dryers available.Vidal Sassoon has not let the stylist's and personal users of this type of dryer down. Good even heat,plenty of air power and comfortable to use. Well built. I hope Vidal Sassoon continues to produce this dryer.

Customer Reviews

NOT FOR FINE HAIR1
I purchased this @ a store before I knew Amazon carried it,.and payed more for it,.at any rate, this makes my fine hair even limpier than normal. It has to do with the ions. Ionic and tourmaline hair dryers are not good for fine hair no matter what anyone says. On the lowest setting it is too strong and the heat is barely enough to set the hair. On the max setting,.(there are only 2), it blows so strong it could take your head off. Also not good for fine hair. Max watts should be no more than 1500 for fine hair. Also,..why is it so difficult to find a regular ionic fee, tourmaline free hair dryer that is junk?
All in all,..don't get this if you have truly fine hair,..if you have fine hair but a lot of it,..I guess it's ok.

Already Dead1
I bought this blow dryer maybe 6 to 9 months ago. It started "shorting out" several months ago. It died on Sunday. My last blowdryer lasted for five or six years so I didn't save the warranty information for this one. My bad.

I didn't know a dryer could be so bad1
My Revlon RV484 quit and I'm not in the market to upgrade, but hoped I could do better for my fine hair. Off to the a local beauty supply store and who knew - a dryer for fine hair! However, the excitement was short-lived. I've used this for the last 4 days and my hair looks horrible - flat and oily. I keep changing the ion levels - it was set to max out of the box and that was the best result - but my hair looks worse every day. I'm returning this and will rebuy the 484 if I have to.

Styling Comb Makes the Difference!4
This is the only hairdryer that works to style my fine, limp hair, & I'm frustrated that more hairdryers are not modeled after this one. I have not seen one in stores for years, so it was great to find it available online.

Great Blow Dryer at a Good Price5
The style and power of this hair dryer are outstanding. I use it to dry my entire body and it does that in minutes. It's styling makes it easy to use and even hang up on a nail by the rubber loop right off the handle. Visitors to my home have even commented on the style.

Exactly what I wanted5
I still prefer the shape of this kind of hair dryer to get the look I want. This model works perfectly.

Customer Reviews

Great Hair Dryer by Vidal Sassoon5
I have used this hair dryer for a several months and am very pleased with it. I had a perm when I first used this hair dryer and used the diffuser to avoid frizz. It worked great. My granddaughter who has long thick hair used it while visiting and was pleased with how quick it dried her hair.

With the diffuser on this hair dryer is a little heavy, but I think any hair dryer with a diffuser on is a little awkward. Now that I am no longer using the diffuser, I find this to be a very comfortable hair dryer that dries my hair quickly. I like the choice of temperatures and speeds this dryer offers.

You won't find a better hair dryer for the money!

Vidal Sassoon hair dryer5
This is the perfect hairdryer for travelling as it's really light and has great functionality.

Easy Hair Styling from Vidal Sassoon4
Hair dryers are one of life's necessary products and even though I rarely use them, I still recognize the need and that is part of the reason I own this hair dryer from Vidal Sassoon. I rarely use a hair dryer but even with my limited usage, I can clearly see the advantages of owning a hair dryer like this one. First, it is nice to have three different heat settings and two different air flow speeds. I have owned simpler devices before that only offered two heat settings and one speed. On warm heat and high airflow, my hair is completely dry in about two to three minutes. There is a higher heat setting that would probably do the trick even faster but I avoid this setting because it is too hot on my head.

Vidal Sassoon Professional also offers special attachments and added features that make it a good choice for those with longer hair and special hair problems. One added feature is the ionizer. This is easily turned on or off using the switch on the top of the hair dryer. Ionization, I have been told, seals in moisture, makes the hair dry faster, and eliminates frizziness. This feature is very nice for those with longer hair because it can help lessen the need for conditioner and other hair products.

The diffuser that comes with this hair dryer is very good and quite large in size. It is very effective because of its size and because it has so many prongs (12 in total). It makes curly hair look very nice, diffusing the heat in an efficient manner so that no small area is getting blasted with excess heat.

Other features on this hair dryer include a cold blast feature and the straightening device. The cold blast is designed to quickly blast the hair with cold air to help hold a style in place and it probably works best on those with long, straight hair. The straightening device is, again, for people who have straight hair, want to straighten their hair, or want only a small amount of wave. It isn't useful to us but it seems to be a good attachment and it easily snaps on and off the front of the hair dryer.

Overall, this hair dryer is a very good device that performs to near perfection on people with short hair (like most any hair dryer) and works well for those with longer hair thanks to the additional features and extra attachments. Add to that the three heat levels, two speeds, and 1875 watts of power and you have the makings of a professional hair styling device- one that offers the essential features to give most people the final results they want at a low cost.

Customer Reviews

Great value!5
I brought this dryer and was so pleased I am buying a second one to keep at my dad's house. Hair dries quickly and the unit is very light weight, easy to handle. This one is a good choice, I have owned many hair dryers so I know what I am talking about. Paula, NYC

It's good!5
I was just drying my hair with this dryer, and felt like writing a review.
I appreciate and genuinely enjoy using it every day, and I've had it for about 2 years now.
Some of the good things I'd like to mention are:
- The power: it's more powerful than any other blow dryer I've used, which makes drying much faster.
- The weight: I haven't thought about this too much until I read the other reviews, and, you know, they're right! I would definitely say that it's on the lighter side, and it's small, too. You don't get tired of holding it, but that may also be because your hair dries faster, so you don't have to hold it as long.
- The temperature: it's not too hot! I find this aspect extremely important because it helps not to overdry/cook your hair and your face.
- The price: it's good!

LOVE this blow dryer5
I purchased this blow dryer for my teenaged daughter for Christmas and now I wish I had purchased one for myself. It is light and small, BUT very powerful. Not only is it the perfect travel dryer, but also perfect for every day use. Our arms don't get tired holding it up. The only thing that doesn't make sense is why you can turn off the "ion" feature since this in an "ion" dryer. We turned it off and it didn't blow dry any slower or faster. Great little blow dryer that we definitely recommend. Great price, too.

Customer Reviews

Works really great4
after quite a wait, I finally received this. works really great, my hair seems to be in better condition. the only drawback is that its a little on the heavy side.

It's true--the ionization does work for fine hair!4
I read the reviews and decided I needed a second dryer just in case my other one pooped out when dashing out of the shower for work, so I bought this one. It was a good choice. Fine hair will dry rapidly but this dryer gives the hair more body and shine.
The only thing which wasn't a plus for me was the loudness of the motor when it's on medium, and high is much too shrill near your ears as you dry your hair.
It is worth the price and Amazon is a good place to make a purchase.

From unkempt poodle to sleek afghan hound...4
I have long, thick, curly hair. Think Kerri Russell without the full time stylist. The humidity where I live makes it very hard to style and even harder to hold the style. Enter this jewel. One handed styling with the comb attachments works wonders and the ionic technology dries my hair faster, shinier, and straighter than anything else I have ever used. A few small issues: the brush attachment is absolutely useless. I would have preferred a concentrator. The fine tooth comb, necessary for a smooth finish, is starting to loose its teeth after only four months. When I have tried to use the dryer without any attachments, it overheats, but this is easily resolved by simply keeping one of the combs on at all times. I love my new soft and sleek look and feel that my hair is healthier than ever before.
