THE BEST BLOWDRYER FOR YOUR BUDGET
When was the last time you purchased a good blowdryer? I’m sure its been a while, and that’s ok! But, if you're already investing in that mane of yours, then your blowdryer should be at the top of your list of things to get! Its the first hot tool we grab when we’re wanting to style our hair, and if you’re not using a good one it can be causing the most damage. Making all those products you’re spending money on, not as helpful.
So I’m gonna break down for you, by price point, what’s best for your hair! And, if you're anything like me, your first question will always be… but, for how much tho?! Most importantly, I’m gonna be recommending dyers that won’t burn, dehydrate, or remove your hair’s brightness. ‘Cause we all want affordable yet professional at the same time!
Budget Friendly
One of my favorite hair queens Kristen Ess came out with this dyer and I had to get it! First of all, its real pretty and looks real pretty out on your sink! It dries hair fast and minimizes the amount of heat exposure. I used this one at home for about 2 years and no complaints! Its lightweight, could be a little quieter, but its perfect for the price.
You’re gonna need a membership for this one, but this is such a steal! T3 is known for their lightweight dyers and they really are so light! T3 uses tourmaline technology for faster blow dry time with less heat and a super smooth finish. This one is quiet and this one too, is so pretty!!
Baller on a Budget
This one here I used in the salon for a few years and really loved it, but for salon life it didn’t hold up more than a year because of the constant use. So for in home use, only using a few times a week, if that, its great! and if you don’t mind investing a little more but not over spending, I really recommend! The Powerlight is great for smooth blowouts and has a quick dry time. Also, a pro secret… this is the same blowdryer they use at the Blowdry Bar (its the bright yellow one they use!) so you know its great!
Sam Villa Light Professional Ionic Blow Dryer $140.00 at Samvilla.com
One of my favorite things about the Sam Villa Dryer is how compact and light it is. This one is a salon fave, we’ve all used it and its so perfect for at home use too! Its quite and most of all it protects and your hair will feel smooth and shiny for sure.

This is my everyday, go-to salon ride or die. For me personally the price is worth it for the amount that I use it. And if you’re looking for a top grade dryer and will pay to have top of the line, then its soooo worth it! I love how powerful and yet its made to keep your hair so shiny and soft even for the most coarse hair. Its why its my favorite!
Ok, here’s my honest review guys, For what I need it for, its great, a super quiet dyer, super compact and its great for my on location styling when i’m doing wedding hair. Also, Its fancy and ya’ll know I like that! But, When i’m not doing on location hair I use it at home. and for the price Its just, ok. To me personally, I’ve used some great dryers, actually all that are named above i’ve used. I don’t feel that it dries my hair any faster and I don’t think it feels as smooth and soft as my Sam Villa or even my Kristen Ess dryer. If you’re into getting a brand name dyer and you’re currently using a less than $100.00 dryer then its a huge upgrade. But you can completely get a better bang for your buck with any of the above dyers that are in your budget.
Before I conclude my blow dryer recs I do have to tell you about the new craze in dryers… blow dryer brushes!
2-in-1 hair styling tool that combines a round hair brush and blow dryer to easily and quickly create a smooth, bouncy, salon quality blowout at home.
“At home this eliminates holding a round brush and hairdryer, which I love and it seriously gives you a salon blowdry look. But, the real reason I love this dryer is because I have extensions and it’s the only way I can get the top of my extension weft 100% dry which is so important when styling extensions!”

Another option for your budget is the Revlon Blow-dry Brush. It Delivers volume and shine in one single step. This dryer has been such a buzz in my chair, my clients that have used it come in saying such amazing things about how fast and easy it is to use!
“This dryer is fool proof! I feel like anyone can use it, it dries the hair super fast, its lightweight, and cheap!”
