I used the same dryer for over 10 years. It was pink and
perfect and I absolutely loved it. I remember getting it the day before my
family and I went on vacation for spring break in Cabo San Lucas my senior year
in high school. We had to drive an hour and a half away to get to the airport
and we had an early flight so we stayed the night before and did some shopping
at the mall (since we don’t have one in the tiny country town where we live).
We got it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It was around $40 and I remember thinking
that was kind of expensive at the time but it lasted so long and was a perfect
hair dryer through college and beyond.
Sadly, it passed away in May and
at the same time I was offered the chance to test out and possibly review the José Eber QuickShine
Infrared Blow Dryer. The timing was ideal and
even though I was sad about the death of my beloved dryer, I was so
excited to try a new one, especially from a hair genius like José Eber. I’m
always trying to incorporate reviews of tools and other beauty related products
to the Beautiful Basics roster.
At $160 this particular model isn’t cheap but it works
beautifully, leaving my hair dry, soft, and surprisingly luminous. It claims to
dry hair at least 50% more quickly than standard dryers and while I haven’t
timed my drying process (ever) I can verify that my hair is dried really
quickly but gently without any damage.
It leaves my strands shiny and smooth.
The unit itself is compact, lightweight, and easy to use. It
fits perfectly in my hand and easy use to hold up and handle. I absolutely love
the size of this dryer. It’s small but packs a full size punch that can compete
with any blow dryer around. It’s also fairly quiet.
Here are some of the advertised features of this blow dryer
from their website:
- Far infrared light infuses gentle, healthy heat into the
core of the cuticle - not the surface of the hair shaft like traditional blow
dryers - providing high shine and smoothness.
- Never feels too hot, the Infrared Blow Dryer emits a
cooler heat as it dries, eliminating burns and hot spots to the hair and scalp.
- Quick drying time by 50%. Even with a cooler heat, the
QuickShine Dryer dries hair in half the time.
- Four variable speed and heat settings allow great control
and adjustment ability for any hair type. Plus, a cool shot button helps set
any style.
- Ultra Lightweight design.
- Built with a lightweight D/C motor.
- 1500 watts

What an awesome hair dryer!! I'm in the market for a new one but $160 is a little out of my price range!!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand. It is quite pricey! I'm hoping it will last for a very long time, though.
DeleteI too love this dryer I just agree with tara that the price seems a bit high.
