Vidal Sassoon VS547 Ion Select Full Size Dryer

 (27 customer reviews)

I bought this dryer to replace a virtually identical but much older Vidal Sassoon hair dryer (the VS781),which had finally stopped working after probably a decade. The thing I liked most about the older dryer, and which I like about this one (which is basically the same dryer with a new color and model number), is that it doesn't get excessively hot even on the highest setting, and doesn't blow as hard as most other dryers.

For someone with thick hair this might be a real problem, but I've got very thin, fine, slightly frizzy hair that doesn't benefit from a strong airflow. Most hair dryers, even on lower speeds, dry sections of my hair so rapidly that I don't have a proper chance to style them with a brush, and the rest of my rather sparse hair gets whipped around as if in a tornado. That doesn't happen with this Vidal Sassoon model. The oval-shaped barrel seems to also help concentrate the airflow.

I also like the fact that this dryer has three heat...Read more

I couldn't find a Vidal Sassoon full-sized dryer in town. I've had no trouble with this one. It does what it is supposed to do. I like the features of different speeds and temperature settings. I've been buying this brand for some time now. Hair dryers don't last forever, you have to get a new one every few years. I use it every day and it gets a lot of use. Highly recommend it!

So far, in the month that I have had this dryer, it has NEVER disappointed. It is light and easy to use. It comes with the 2 attachments for diffuse or pointing.

Great dryer especially for the price.

I have not had a "bad hair day" since I have this.

Recommend totally.
