Parlux Advance Light
23 reviews
Don't waste your money – I bought this after my parlux 3800 blew up expecting it to be more powerful as recommended by pretty much every hair supplier sales person but it was no where near as good. It left my hair dull and drying time was the same even though it was stated on the parlux site that it would reduce drying time and is more powerful. I should have just stuck to the 3800 and save my money as it was almost double the price. Show details
Didn't last as long as I'd expected – I bought my Parlux Advance Light in March 2018 and its been a fantastic hair dryer however it blew up in my hand yesterday, sparks were flying, strong burning smell. No injury thankfully. Filter is clean, no blockages etc, very random, no prior warning signs. They say good expensive dryers should last between 5 -7 years, well this one sadly didn't. Show details
Love it! – I got my Parlux Light last year after my old one burnt out. So far it’s been the best hair dryer I’ve owned. It’s light and works like a gem. I use it sometimes to dry my fake tan once I’ve applied it, without any front piece attached. It has a longer extension cord also which is a bonus. The filter at the back is also easy to clean. I’m happy with my purchase. Show details
Always perfect with a Parlux – Cannot fault this hairdryer! I haven’t used another brand of hairdryer for my salon clients for years! It’s powerful yet quiet! Light to handle for the demanding of blowdrys! Cool colors available Show details
THE BEST! – People, I have never ever had sleek and healthy hair after blowdrying...this hairdryer made drying quick, easy and my hair is 100% better looking! The flow of the air, the temperature is what makes a difference compared to generic brands of hairdryers. Highley recommended!!!!! Show details
Amazing!! – I honestly never thought there was any difference between hair dryers. Until I owned this hair dryer! It is so quick, so powerful, leaves my hair feeling absolutely amazing, I don’t really think it’s any quieter then any other hair dryer if I’m honest, but I didn’t find that the big selling point personally.
Smooth hair – I wash my hair almost everyday, so I need a good hairdryer that won't damage my hair. Parlux is fast drying but wont damage my hair. my hair is smooth and shine considering that I dry my hair everyday. It's also quite light compare to most hairdryers.
Second Parlux Hairdrier - amazing, love it and hope it lasts as long as the first one – Bought this to replace old faithful Parlux compact 3500 which finally gave up after nearly 10 years of service and being dropped one too many times, the last time which shattered the impeller and ended it. First impression was that this felt a lot lighter and better balanced than the 3500 which made it significantly easier to handle and use.… Read more
Although the website showed only 500 grams difference between the 2 models the older one felt much heavier and awkward compared to this one. Although technically bigger it feels smaller and the extra airflow makes a noticeable difference drying my (keratin treated) curly and frizz prone hair quickly.
I've had it for only a month now so its still very early days, hoping its still around in early 2028!
Light & powerful! – I have a very thick hair and this works perfectly! Dries up my hair quickly without overheating! And my hair feels so smooth and soft afterwards. Very good quality and last for a long time.
Love. Twice as fast as my old hairdryer – My boyfriend gave me this hairdryer as a Christmas present in 2017. I have the ice blue color and LOVE it. It really is light, easy to maneuver and dries my hair really fast. It has the standard options of heat/cool and speed. I'm so happy with it!
Best hairdrier yet! – To present the cons, it is expensive, however, that being said, it is noticeably the best I've used to date. The power is spot on and there has been no noticeable hair damage to date. The unit design is a little on the dated side, but it doesn't take anything away from the functionality.
Perfect, dries my hair quickly – Bought one for my sister's birthday - she loved it - so I got one for myself too. I was really happy with my decision. It's powerful and works great.
Worth the money – This is the probably the most expensive hairdryer I’ve ever baught but it is 100% one of the best. It is really light weight and portable making it great for travel but it also drys my hair very quickly without damaging it. Would certainly recommend this to everyone.

Perfect hairdryer – Love this hair dryer Paid $208 this was the most I have every spent on a hair dryer but so far its been worth it. Dries my hair really quickly. It also has an extra long cord which is fantastic Only negative I personally find it a little heavy to hold.
Very Light – Love this as it’s the lightest hairdryer I could find. It’s very powerful. Like the cool jet of air which protects and dries my hair fast. It’s a long cord which is an advantage, too
Love this dryer – Was hesitant to spend the money on this but my daughter insisted it would be worth it as she has one. Well I have not regretted this purchase plus I bought on sale 20% off from hairwarehouse.com.au online. Blows my hair dryer in around 5 mins, powerful little thing. Pretty colour violet and not heavy to hold. It maybe over kill for household hair… Read more
dryer but the speed it drys my hair means more free time for me. Aiming to get a good life out of it and never have to purchase another one since I bought based on quality. Not sure I like the diffuser which was purchase separate but maybe I don't no how to use it properly??
Disappointed after reading reviews – I accept that we all have different experiences and expectations. But I honestly wonder why so many people's 5 star reviews about this Parlux Advanced Light hair dryer differ so much from ours? While there is plentiful amounts of air, it pulses and is definitely not a smooth delivery. We believe the limited range of fan speeds could be improved… Read more
and the reputed 'quietness' is by no means any better than our redundant, but long-lived hair dryer that cost so much less to purchase. I believe you need to talk with your friends who have actually purchased one and ask to try it before you consider handing over your hard earned...
Expensive but well worth it – Absolutely the best hairdryer I've ever used and would not even consider another brand despite the comparatively expensive price. Plenty of power and selectable settings, including settable cool setting. Slightly more weighty than cheaper hairdryers but this reflects quality build and performance. Used at least twice a day for various tasks, even on heatshrink tubing once, and still performs like new.
Best I've tried – I love love love this hairdryer. At first it was hard to justify spending over $200 on a hairdryer but when I factored in the amount of time it saves me when drying my very long thick hair, it is totally worth it! It leaves your hair smooth and comes in really funky colours. It could be slightly lighter but that doesn't really bother me. It dries your hair super quickly.
Best Product I have ever purchased – Thought about it for a long time whether to get a 20 dollar hairdryer or a $200+. As you can tell I went for the latter and have no regrets. It is an absolutely expensive piece of device and obviously does way more than what I need it for, however I would make the same purchase over and over again if given the choice. It's simply amazing, it's… Read more
strong and delivers everything you would expect. Drying times are super quick and for the missus and the build quality is amazing, super sturdy and super light. I use to have a old Panasonic which died after 10yrs of use and was trying to find something just as good and I think this model is close if not the same!
Read a lot of good reviews after a lot of searching and I think this is just one of those important things to have as a daily if you want no hassles.
Best hairdryer – Being in the hair industry I'm very fussy with my tools. I absolutely love this hairdryer, it's very light, easy to use and very powerful. I'm a huge fan of the Parlux brand, they last forever if you look after them! I highly recommend them :)
Love it – This is my second parlux hair dryer and my last one lasted 9 years. Great quality and drys hair so quickly and hair doesn't feel ruined after. This is a new light weight hair dryer but has just as much power.
Light and powerful – I'm a hairdresser and I personally find the Parlux Advance Light to be one of the lighter hairdryers on the market with excellent power. The weight is important for me as I have to use a hairdryer quite a few times during my work day and every gram in weight that I can shave off, helps. I am also a lot quicker at drying clients' hair with the… Read more
Parlux compared to my previous hairdryer. Comes in a range of different colours but I got the 'Ice Blue' colour and it looks great!
