Dyson HD07 Supersonic Black/Nickel Hair Dryer

Like many I hesitated over this purchase because of the steep price - but three weeks in my only regret is that I didn’t buy this sooner. I gave up blow drying my hair years ago because I lacked the time, patience or skill to spend 30+ minutes using a hair dryer and ending up with a frizzy mop that just got bundled up into a pony tail. My default was putting my hair in a bun wet and letting it air dry that way, hoping to tame the frizz and basically just keeping my hair out of the way. If I had an early meeting or had to get out the door fast there was no way I could wash my hair unless it was the night before, and I hate going to bed with wet hair. All of that has changed with the Dyson. I can dry my hair in 6 minutes flat with the gentle air attachment - and not ... MoreLike many I hesitated over this purchase because of the steep price - but three weeks in my only regret is that I didn’t buy this sooner. I gave up blow drying my hair years ago because I lacked the time, patience or skill to spend 30+ minutes using a hair dryer and ending up with a frizzy mop that just got bundled up into a pony tail. My default was putting my hair in a bun wet and letting it air dry that way, hoping to tame the frizz and basically just keeping my hair out of the way. If I had an early meeting or had to get out the door fast there was no way I could wash my hair unless it was the night before, and I hate going to bed with wet hair. All of that has changed with the Dyson. I can dry my hair in 6 minutes flat with the gentle air attachment - and not just dry, but out-the-door ready with my hair down and looking styled with minimal effort. The diffuser takes 8-10 minutes and the extra time is because I have to tame the front a little with some product after I am done drying. I let my daughter try it - she has much longer and thicker hair than me, but the diffuser took her about 8 minutes too, down from the 45+ minutes it normally takes her. Even better, I don’t feel the extreme heat or burning on my scalp that I have felt with other dryers and the noise, for me at least, is much more tolerable. I read a review that said the Dyson Supersonic is only worth it for people who wash and dry their hair every day, but I think the Dyson is also worth it for someone like me who had totally given up on blow drying and styling their hair. I have worn my hair down more times in the last three weeks than the last three years and for maybe the first time in my life I am enjoying my hair as an “accessory” in a way that until now I was only able to do with trips to the salon. Early morning meeting? Last minute date night? No problem. I know I can wash my hair and be ready to go in literally minutes. Drying my hair now takes less time than washing it and getting dressed and the weird part is I actually look forward to doing it. I am sure this reads like a promotional review, but it is just so refreshing to spend money on something that truly does what it says it’s going to do that I felt I had to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. If I have to give a negative it’s the case, which looks gorgeous but is not very practical. The inserts are all cardboard and unless you want to spend more time taking your hair dryer out and putting it away than it takes to actually dry your hair, you will probably end up getting rid of those flimsy pieces pretty quickly. That means your beautiful, expensive hair dryer ends up getting shoved in the box on top or underneath of all the attachments and it is not a very practical or elegant solution. An option for a stand or wall mount instead of the expensive but not very helpful case would be great. Other than that, thanks Dyson, for a game changing product.

I’ve watched this hairdryer presentation and in stores for years but thought how ridiculous it’s a hair dryer. But the day I didn’t even catch the whole presentation even missed my preferred color but I just decided enough was enough and I ordered it. I have to admit it does dry hair faster but I would still have areas that were not smooth not shiny. I had been very careful to keep all the packaging. I decided it’s going back saving a few minutes drying your hair when your retired and not trying to get to work every morning it’s not worth the cost. I started putting all this stuff in those boxes and no way was all that its going back into those boxes. So I decided I would watch the presentation and see if that would help me do a better job. I saw the very last ... MoreI’ve watched this hairdryer presentation and in stores for years but thought how ridiculous it’s a hair dryer.

I saw the very last presentation before they sold out earlier than expected. If I had seen this presentation I would not have bought the dryer. Jen Coffey would have turned me off in a minute. She kept running her mouth about how limited in time they were. Probably wouldn’t be able to finish this one much less the last one planned. She ran her mouth and wasted time over absolutely nothing finally the rep came out to dry her hair and demonstrate how to use it correctly and Jen never shuts up. But I did get to see the one piece I wasn’t using and that’s why I wasn’t getting the desired look. So I’m going to keep it a few more days thinking I will get use to using it correctly and getting the most out of it. There are so many of the hosts I can’t tolerate I’m done with QVC. I love Carolyn and Gary they are entertaining but get the information you need to get the right pieces in the right size usually.

I've been using the Dyson hair dryer (Nickel/Copper version) for a month. Initially wasn't sure cost worth it, because even at a very reduced price it was higher price than any other hot hair tool I'd ever purchased. Then I watched some videos on using it and the attachments. I experimented with the various speed & heat settings, as well as all the attachments to find they mattered greatly. I'm now convinced I like it a lot & definitely happy to have.My hair type: Lots of fine wavy/curly, short/mid-length.My hair styles & attachments used: Curly/wavy: Use only the Dyson diffuser attachment. Blow out smooth: All Dyson attachments but the diffuser. Section and start with Wide-tooth comb. A little use of the gentle air attachment with a paddle brush & Styling ... MoreI've been using the Dyson hair dryer (Nickel/Copper version) for a month.

Finish with the Flyaway attachment, which really really does work/make a difference in smoothing.Usually use the lowest speed setting and heat 1 or 2.While I recommend this product, note that I would never recommend paying the full price. I have the discretionary income & could have paid full, but I waited for a discount and saved lots of rewards dollars over time before opting to making my purchase.
