Parlux 385 Power Light

Frizz and more frizz – I have thick wavy hair and a lot of it. I bought this hair dryer thinking it would give me a sleek blow dry in a quicker time. It was the opposite. My hair was pure frizz despite extra time blowdrying. My $40 Remington would eat this crap parlux for breakfast. Hugely disappointed  Show details

Great hairdryer – A great lightweight hairdryer and not too noisy like most out there, it's Italian made so it screams quality. Having said that, I don't like how the switches feel but other than that it's been great. Show details

Excellent Hairdryer! – I have a very thick and long mane that drying my hair usually takes me half an hour from your department store brands. I've never heard of Parlux before but I've seen my gym equip it in their change rooms and also my local hairdresser and boy was I surprised when I used it! It is such a powerful hairdryer that it cut down my drying time in half -… Read more

though my record was 10 minutes on max heat! AMAZING! I couldn't stop gushing about it that I had to get one for myself. I've had it for 4 years now and counting, so it's a really good investment as it's a bit more expensive that your department store brands, but you get the quality that you've paid for!

Excellent! – Great product! Great for traveling Selection of the heat and a cool air option and just right! Not too big or small. Very powerful. only noisy not too bad though just like in the salon! Show details

Worst hair dryer ever - massive waste of money – The worst hair dryer I have ever used (and I've used $10 ones before). It made my hair so frizzy - literally worse then the $10 one! Biggest waste of money ever!! I tried to return it as I thought it could have been faulty (surely a product that was top of the price range couldn't be such poor quality). And noone wanted a bar of it, not even the… Read more

company's quality control area. I ended up selling it at a loss just to get rid of it and went back to using a cheap hair dryer (and my hair is better off for it). I couldn't believe how inferior the quality of the product is!

Confusing control switches! – I've had this dryer for over a year now and am still just as confused by the controls as when I first got it. The dryer dries fast and is light enough to hold. However I can't make head or tail of the switches! I don't know how to combine heat and speed, and can never actually get a hot temperature. It's also a problem getting a slow speed… Read more

combined with a reasonable heat.

I now just push the switches randomly, having no idea how they work and I'm no dummy! I woudldn't buy this dryer again - considering the high price I expect predicable and usable controls, and a decent "How to" leaflet included in the package.

Salon Perfect Hair – This is the brand my hairdresser uses so I asked her to order one in for me - where has it been all my life ! More powerful, but less noisy than my previous hairdryers. None of that horrible high pitched whiny noise. Nice and light, takes probably half the time to dry my hair. Not sure if the magic is in the nozzle, but it doesn't blow my hair all… Read more

over the place, very directional. I pop a bit of Kerastase L'Incroyable blowdry lotion on prior to protect and give my fine hair a bit of body. I can't imagine ever buying another hairdryer. If I could give it 6 stars I would.

Saved my life (hair) – I have had fly away, and extremely thick bushy my whole life. It’s a mop and the day I wash it by far the worst. I’ve tried every serum around. Even they didn’t tame it. I purchased this h/d today and tried it out. It came up as a good one. Wow!! It looks like hair now (like the hairdresser does). It’s great!! Show details

Best hairdryer ever! – I love this hairdryer so much. It smooths out my curly hair effortlessly giving me an quick and easy blow wave. It's light to hold and relatively quiet. The choice of colours in fun too. I could never go back to a cheapo hairdryer. Show details

Awesome – The hairdryer is comfy to hold in your hand and looks very professional, the hairdryer is also not super loud so when Im working I can still hear my clients speaking to me. Show details

Great Dryer – It’s a Great dryer light with good airflow and temp control . I’ve got thick course hair and does not dry out hair. Light weight to hold when drying your hair. Show details

Love love this hairdryer – I bought this hairdryer as my hairdresser has it, and every time she dried my hair is was always soft and my hair always sat right. Now every time I dry my hair it feels like my hairdresser had done for me. Can't praise this dryer enough,I highly recommend Show details

Best quality – My girl thinks this is the best dryer she’s used so far and the pressure is just perfect and do convenient and not too noisy and dry her hair perfectly. Show details

Great temperature, Great Speed, Long Cord! – Purchased this hairdryer after reading the reviews from this site. This hairdryer has great temperature control, fantastic air speed and the cord is super long! The best part is that with all these features it is still quiet compared to other hairdryers we have owned. Show details

Fast and effective! – My partner was shopping for a new hair straightener and he spent days researching the best hairdryers. I thought it was crazy that he was willing to spend over $100 on a hair dryer, but the first time I tried it I was sold! It was so so easy to use and dried my hair in half the time of my other hair dryer. Show details

Great hairdryer & power – The hair dryer is on the expensive end but its worth the money as it lasts for decent amount of years. i had to replace my old one, which lasted at least 8-10 years. i like the fact that it is made in italy, its ionic and blow dries my hair straight. I have also taken it for travel overseas with me as it is light, compact and easy to pack in my suitcase. It can be slightly noisy but I can put up with the noise. i haven't had any issues with it. Show details

This is amazing – I love this product it is sleek elegant and simply amazing it blows my hair dry in about 10 minutes way better than i expected i also really like the colours of the Parlux 385 Show details

work well – The electric wind blows well, the design is good, it's light and easy to hold in your hand. It is very convenient to store, the sound when used is very small, very quiet, it is windy enough, even the long hair is easy to blow dry.

Worlds best hair dryer – I use mine everyday and it’s the best hair dryer I’ve ever come across , I absolutely can not live without it. I will never ever buy another brand or dryer :)

Great customer service – Loved everything about this hairdryer until it stopped working after 2 years. BUT I contacted them and sent it back to the importer and they are replacing it! Going back to using a cheapie hairdryer whilst my Parlux is out of action has made me realise just how good the Parlux is. Thanks Parlux for such great customer service!

Can’t live without it! – This hair dryer is lightweight, compact and powerful! It has cut my hair drying time by up to ten minutes and straightens as well so I no longer need a straightener.

Great for professional! – This is a great hairdryer for professional hairdressers and barbers. I've been doing hair for 10+ Years and have always used Parlux brand. And have only been through 2! They last forever and is the brand I always recommend to family and friends.

Great quality – Was sceptical on paying so much for a hairdryer, but it's well worth the money. Have had it for 12 months now and it's as good as day one. Very light and compact which makes it a great addition to travelling. Doesn't heat up the concentrator which has been an issue with previous hairdryers

I could never live without – Great hair dryer! I noticed that my hair dries quicker with Parlux compared to other hairdryers on the market. Also, the shape makes it easy to grip and hold. Will definitely recommend.

Love This Hair Dryer – This was a little present for myself and I love it! It is so nice to use and lives up to my expectations very well. It is compact and absolutely a breeze to maneuver around in the morning. Its compact so I travel with it but I like it more than the one we have at home. Really good quality hair dryer.

powerful and light – great blowdryer. its light and powerful. has multiple settings depending on your need. very good at shaping the hair. the grip is also very comfortable. i am very happy with it

Parlux is the brand I am sticking with, until I can buy a Dyson – I switched to Parlux about three years ago and this is my second hairdryer, since my old Parlux 3800 suddenly stopped one day (only used every second day.) I like to use high fan and low heat and Parlux hairdryers do not burn my hair but dry it fast. Also good that I do not have to clean the filter like I used to with other brands. I would have liked to have bought a coloured model, not my usual black though.

GF loves it – Bought this as a gift for my girl friend. She absolutely loves it, she even recommended her brother purchase his girl friend one after she used hers and loved it.

Okay... but the hype? – My hairdresser suggested I buy - and reading all the reviews I thought this could be worth a shot for my thick hair. It’s definitely lightweight, and the fast speed dries hair fast, but as for the amazzzzxing results everyone keeps mentioning, it’s a hairdryer, and the no frizz factor is only slightly better than my old 25 buck cheapie. It’s good, but not 195 dollars good.

Excellent – This is my second Parlux having bought the 385 after my old 2800 stopped working after 8 years and I have had it now for 1.5 years. My hair is dried everyday and this is such a great hairdryer as it does not dry it out and I am sure it will last as long as my old one. Parlux dryers are dearer than the average model you can buy at DJs or Myer but the old saying of you get what you pay applies.
