Buy Hot Shot Tools Professional Hair Dryer

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this hair dryer because of the brand...I have had good luck with Helen Of Troy curling Irons and This dryer was recommended also to me by the sales associate from Cosmoprof where I purchased it.

I am sorely disappointed that I wasted my money with this dryer and DO NOT RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE!!!

WHY?... because it did not dry the hair fast, the low high ION dial was a gimmick, it did not blow cold air just cooler air... it pulled client hair into the air in-take end of the dryer, it left the clients with frizzier hair than when they came in to the salon, and it shut itself off after 2 months use from overheating(I let it cool for 5 minutes before turning it back on like the instructions said to do if it shut down), then 1 week later it shut down completely and refused to turn back on!.

with a 30 day warranty, I could not send it back for a refund.

with a school grade I give this an F for F F FLUNK F F FAIL F F FORGET THIS DRYER

My old hair dryer finally quit working this month. I went to the local beauty supply store and found the Hot Shot Tools Professional Hair Dryer by Helen Of Troy. One of the salesgirls said she'd bought it for her mother, who loved it. The packaging touted several features that I wanted and the price was reasonable, so I bought it.

The dryer works well it does a fine job drying my hair. What I don't like is the button placement. The High-Off-Low button is in an awkward place for me. I have to fumble to access it with one hand, where my old dryer had this button positioned perfectly so I could change the button easily with the thumb of the same hand holding the dryer.

It comes with three different attachments: a finger diffuser, concentrator nozzle, and straightening pik attachment. I normally use the concentrator nozzle for a smoother blow-out, but I use the finger diffuser when I scrunch my hair for natural waves. I really have no need for the straightening pik, so I can't comment on its effectiveness.

The dryer is 1875 watts, which is the same as my old dryer. It boast ionic technology which it claims will help dry your hair faster. I have to say I really don't notice a difference in the drying time between this dryer and my old one.

I am not a stylist, so this dryer is used by only me once a day. Except for my issue with the buttons, it seems OK for home use. It does seem a little lightweight for use in a salon, perhaps, but I am no expert.

While this dryer works, I would not buy it again. I'll look more carefully at the button placement next time before I buy.
