The wet, cold and windy months of autumn and winter can leave hair worse for wear, taking a toll by stripping away moisture, which can often result in dry and frizzy locks. For those seeking a solution, popular brand SharkNinja has slashed the price of a hair styler that shoppers say delivers “salon quality” results at home.
Shark SpeedStyle Pro FLEX Build Your Own Hair Dryer System is on offer for £159.99, down from its full price of £199.99. Equipped with a folding handle for compact storage – making it ideal for travelling with – this lightweight hair dryer measures and regulates its temperature a thousand times per second to avoid heat damage, while its powerful airflow promises quick results, according to the brand.
For this price, shoppers also have the option to choose three accessories for the hair dryer. Options include a concentrator nozzle, diffuser, rotating round brush, styling brush, polisher, and wide tooth comb, to suit a range of different hair types and desired styles, without paying for accessories that will stay in the box unused.
Or for those who have one go-to attachment for styling their hair, there’s also the option to get the Shark SpeedStyle Pro FLEX Build Your Own Hair Dryer System with a single attachment of choice for the lower price of £129.99, reduced from £159.99 in the SharkNinja sale. Alternatively, shoppers who love creating a range of looks can get the Shark SpeedStyle Pro 5-in-1 High-Velocity Hair Dryer System with five attachments for £179.99, down from £219.99.

And over at Argos, another highly rated option is the Remington Pro Air Turbo Hair Dryer, which is available for £26.40 using the discount code BEAUTY20 at the checkout. Recommended by 94% of Argos customers who have reviewed it, this dryer includes a concentrator nozzle and diffuser to choose between straight or curly styles.
Meanwhile, the Shark SpeedStyle Pro FLEX has earned an average rating of 4.6 out of five stars from shoppers, with one praising in a five-star review: “I’ve previously owned the Dyson, so I had high expectations, but the Shark SpeedStyle Pro has honestly exceeded them. It dries my hair just as fast (if not faster) but feels gentler, leaving my hair smoother and less frizzy. It’s much lighter and easier to handle, which makes styling a lot more comfortable, especially when you’re doing it daily.”
They continued: “The attachments are also really effective and feel more practical for actually achieving different styles rather than just being extras. What surprised me most was how controlled the airflow and heat felt. I get a sleek, salon-quality finish without that overly hot, dry feeling I used to get.”
By comparison, the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer starts at £249.99 for a model with one concentrator attachment included. To get the full set of five attachments, including a smoothing nozzle, flyaway smoother, diffuser, gentle air attachment and concentrator, the price increases to £349.99.
Another reviewer said of the Shark SpeedStyle Pro FLEX: “This has transformed my hair. It dries my hair in four minutes with no heat damage. The styles also lasted between washes and for three days after the first use. I woke up in the morning, took my hair out of a ponytail, and the sleek, bouncy, salon-style blow dry remained.”
They added: “I have had compliments from all my family and friends on my hair and recommend this to all of them. I would 100% recommend this product, more so if you are like me and think that the salon is the only option you have to have nice hair. I now have salon styled hair every day – I will never be without this hair dryer again, the confidence I have gained over having lovely hair is amazing.”
And a third customer fed back: “Great hairdryer, already seeing a difference in my hair, less frizz and heat damage and great accessories. Only downside is I would have liked a little bag for storage of the dryer/accessories for the amount I’ve spent on the product.”
Some others thought there were other aspects of the styler that could be improved, with a different reviewer remarking: “Bought this last month, it dries my hair quickly, but I have found my hair gets knotted more than my last hair dryer.”
Another said: “I think the high-pitched sound could be improved to make the hair dryer even better. Also, the button could be slightly higher for comfort.”
Meanwhile, someone else wrote: “I have really curly hair, and this hairdryer is fabulous for my hair and stops the frizz. The diffuser is amazing.”
