VS Sassoon 3Q

Good until it's BAD!!!! – I can understand why this hair dryer has been discontinued. It is a good hair dryer until it is not. I spend more time picking up the nozzle and putting back on than actually drying my hair. The slightest touch and it falls off, making the hair dryer basically useless and then to add to insult, I burn my fingers trying to get it back on. The… Read more
back part also now falls off. I've had the nozzle replaced twice already and it's great for about six months and then back to falling off at the slightest touch. Makes me want to throw the hair dryer out. Has turned me off buying a VS Sassoon dryer again.
Good when it's new... and then – After a couple of years, the diffuser keeps coming off, and now the rear cover is falling off. Cheap build, bad design. It would be really simple to design this so the two removable parts stay on, but they didn't do that. When the diffuser comes off at high temperature, it's burnt my wife's skin. Not a safe product.

Love this Hairdryer – I recently purchased this as my Remington dryer was in need of being replaced quite a few years old. I watched many reviews on YouTube for this dryer and also read through Google search most reviews I read were from this page. Why I chose this dryer was the quick drying time the ionic technology to help protect and keep hair healthy, and it… Read more
being 40% quieter than other dryers I have seen people say it isn't quiet at all but I feel they didn't really take note of it being 40% quieter NOT Quiet.
However I live in a small unit and I can say this hairdryer is definitely much quieter then many others Not due to the motor but the rear of the dryer has a foam barrier which sound proofs it to a certain degree if you take the back off when dryer is on it will be as loud as most other dryers around this same power output of 2200watts.
I would definitely recommend this dryer if you're after something decent that will last you many years without blowing the budget currently retails for $99 but if you look online could find it on sale somewhere like I did.

Good dryer – This hair dryer is lightweight easy to use, comfy to hold and does the job fast and effectively. The downside is the accessory is pretty useless, it won't fit in properly. Show details
Can they make a left handed version? – This was my Christmas Present. Whilst it is a good hairdryer I found the controls were in an awkward place being left handed. I hand to hold in right hand to turn on and then pass back to left hand. Whilst drying my hair the controls kept getting pressed due to my grip on the handle and the dryer then stops. A little frustrating I guess I will just have to get used to it. #leftylife Liz Show details
one of the best hairdryer I have – So I bought 2 different hairdryer, one is Remington silk italia and this one. At first, I thought remington is better, but I can confirm now that this is a better hairdryer. 1st the design has no 'rubber' layer that could peel off within months. This one is solid plastic. The buttons are more intuitive, easy to switch around the cable is longer (I… Read more
don't think you need a long long cable, but it does come handy at times) Although negligible, I can feel my hair dries better using this than the Remington counterpart. Cons: both of them are heavy
After using this for a while, the cool- hot button LED stop working, luckily the button still works.
Negative reviews
Dries quickly, but – Would be the best hairdryer I've ever used, if the nozzle didn't keep falling off! Most frustrating having to continually pick the nozzle up off the floor. The power is great, and it dries quicker than previous VS hairdryers that I've owned. Show details
More expensive than I normally pay – This hair dryer works ok and dries my hair quickly, however I liked my old cheaper one much better. I have short hair and my old dryer gave my hair more loft on top than this one does. This one seems to leave my hair flatter on top even though I dry it the same way I always have. It doesn't seem to be as hot a my old dryer. Needed a new dryer and next time I would go back to a cheaper model. Show details
Attachment is a deal breaker – This product is powerful and dries hair quickly but the fundamental flaw (that isn't included on their cheaper range) is that the attachments do not stay on the device. I will have it fall off 6+ times in one session and my professional hairdresser partner thinks its the laziest design so refuses to use it. I will prob have to buy a new one as… Read more
starting everyday (yes, I wash my very thick long hair everyday because I swim) seriously frustrated because of a poorly designed and costly hair dryer.

Okies – Nothing impressive. too big for me. My hair is long to the waist. I use it after shower. I feel it's not effective comparing to Remington's $29 one. The design is sleek. Show details
Good dryer; not a good nozzle! – A very good dryer; it does the job effectively and I'd probably give it a five-star rating if the nozzle didn't keep falling off! I see I'm not the only one with this problem. Show details
Amazing product – I bought this product to replace VS super power which I only used 2x only due to deafening noise. This product is impressive and worth the price. Lightweight too. Using this everyday just to briefly dry my hair. Highly recommended!!! Show details

No complains – This dryer does the job with all good functions. I don't see any differences in my hair after using more expensive dryers. Previous one from VS got hot after use but this one is good and we don't have any complains at all.. Show details
Great product – Easily use. Light weight, the wind pressure is very high which makes my hair dried very quick. The cool wind is icy cool, good for styling the hair. Been using it for 6 months now so far so good.
No more than average – I was talked into buying this hairdryer and I shouldn't have listened. Although the dryer itself works fine and it's definitely reasonably priced, the concentrator attachment continually falls off, even after only a short time. I know this sound like a petty whinge, but when you've picked it up for the 6th time in 10 minutes, after having to… Read more
find it when it's rolled off into the farthest corner of the bathroom, it becomes incredibly frustrating.
When I mentioned this to one of the people who recommended it, she told me it was happening to hers all the time and it was driving her crazy, so she's taped it on, problem solved apparently. That would've been helpful to know, I wouldn't have bought it.
I wouldn't recommend this product if you actually need to style your hair, if you can afford to, spend the extra and invest in a higher quality dryer.
Not easy to use – The tip accessory falls off as soon as the hairdryer warms up and the the speed and warms settings are in a poor spot on the handle, therefore I accidently turn the speed and heat down when not wanting to.
My wife loves it – Got it for wife,, she absolutely loves it. Its good value for money spent. It does its job very well. I did not get any complaints from my wife with this item. My suggestion: if u are looking for similar item, go with this one.
Dries hair fast with less frizz – We bought this hair dryer at a great price from Harvey Norman and I was a little bit skeptical regarding the claim that it says it dries hair 70% faster. But I have been proven wrong. I have noticed a big difference between this new hair dryer and our old one. My partner has also commented that it doesn't make her hair dry and frizzy like other hair dryers do. We are super happy with our purchase and would definitely recommend.
Good product for a decent price – Bought this hairdryer a year ago on promotion at the good guys. Its really good product without a big price tag. Using almost everyday, but no dramas so far. Good setting 3 levels and works perfectly fine. Would recommend to anyone wanting a decent hair dryer for a cheap price. Value for money.
Too hot to handle – I bought this quite cheaply and thought it would be serviceable. It works ok but gets very hot in my hand to hold and when I have bumped my head a few times, it really burns. Also takes ages to cool down so you can put it away.
VS Sassoon 3Q – Like this kind of electric wind blowing, light and convenient is also very beautiful, color also like, the wind is also big, really very much like, after blowing hair is supple, not dry, worth buying, is the most effective product I have used at Present.

Great for daily use – I'm very happy with this product as it dries my hair well without damaging it. The cool and warm buttons are very easy and convenient to use. I have used different hair dryers in the past but the VS 3Q exceeded my expectations. My hair is really long (up to waist line) so it is a must for me to have an excellenr hair dryer. I bring this even when I travel.
Great hair dryer – this hair dryer has dried my hair faster than any other hair dryer I have ever owned. I have very thick and long hair and this works absolutely perfectly. Would recommend.
Dries my hair very quickly! – Really falling in love with this super incredible hair dryer!! It dries my hair very quickly! The price is absolutely reasonable and it’s light The only thing that i have to complain about it is the noise it made but i do not think that’s a problem as you do not need to spend a lot of time using it
Really great product! – This hair dryer is lightweight, and dries my thick hair really quickly! Really well priced however did find it to a bit loud in use, advertised as quiet when in operation.
Best hair dryer I have used – Dries hair very quickly and smooths it out nicely. I do find the buttons in an awkward spot and the attachment isn’t locked in tight enough that it knocks off. Is overall a great, light weight hair dryer and very happy with the product overall.
The quickest blow dry you'll ever get! – I own it in rose gold. It drys my hair in minutes! It is very quick and light so youre not spending an hour to dry your hair and get sore hands/wrists/arms afterwards. I live off my hairdryer and makes washing my hair just that little bit more enjoyable
Definitely Not Quiet – How this can be sold as a QUIET hair dryer I have no idea. It isn't quiet. It is an effective hair dryer with good ionic and ceramic technology and does an excellent job drying hair without frizz. If you want a really quiet hair dryer as I do, look elsewhere - I'm still looking for a quiet dryer.
Good but not enough heat output – Good little hair dryer, could use a hotter setting as it blows warm. Works well, good value for money. Would probably look a different model next with i the VS range.
Great dryer, but annoying to use – I shopped around really carefully before buying my new dryer. The 3Q was more expensive than similar models, but ticked so many boxes - smart design (ie, brushless technology), controls placed so that they are easy to adjust while doing my hair (e.g.with some other brands the controls are located right on the handgrip) and that it was relatively… Read more
quiet! At least 4 stars for all of these features.so far.....
However, where it lets itself down is with the nozzle/concentrator fitting (of all things, right?). While these are only small issues in the scheme of things, they have made a difference to how well I manage to use it, how long it takes to dry my hair, and to the rating overall.
Firstly, the the airflow isn't as narrow/focused as several comparable models I considered (or my previous one!). This makes it harder for a novice like me to more specifically target just the areas I want (eg., ones that are a bit harder to reach or get right).
Then, after using the dryer in multiple short bursts across a period of around 5-10mins, the nozzle falls off! (I turn it on and off while I reposition section clips and the brush etc) This starts happening each time the barrel of the dryer gets warmed up. It means having more stop-starts so I can pick up and reconnect the nozzle (which can be hot to handle!), and increases the time it takes to finish my hair. A surprising thing to be disappointed with, but it is a frequent issue.

Nice hair dryer – This Hair dryer is awesome!!! Its quiet, and doesn't damage my wife's hair at all. It smooths the hair shaft so I don't need to use any other tools when I use it. My wife has long thick hair and it dries her hair really quickly without having to turn the temperature right up which is great. It's also really light so I don't get a sore arm from holding it up to dry her hair.
Great product – Value for money great product was on special so got it at a great price came with carry bag which was a bonus would recommend to anyone to purchase does the job
