How Do Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryers Work? 

At the heart of Dyson’s products is their decades-long expertise in airflow technology. The company first applied their airflow technology to air purifiers and vacuums, beginning with the release of the Dyson DC01 in 1993—their first mass-produced vacuum cleaner. 

In recent years, engineers at Dyson realized that their deep understanding of airflow could also be used to improve common pain points of traditional hair dryers, like slow drying and weak airflow. Dyson’s first hairstyling tool, the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer, was released in 2016 and quickly became one of the most talked about hair dryers in the industry.

Are Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryers Right for Your Salon? 

Only you can decide which styling tools are best for your professional needs. With that said, many stylists agree that their Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer is well worth the price tag. Here’s why.

Innovative Technology 

One of the biggest standout features of Dyson products is their focus on innovative engineering. Dyson engineers have spent years in research and development to create hair tools that deliver premium results while maintaining hair integrity. According to Dyson, the company has invested over $124 million into global hair laboratories to create tools that help prevent hair breakage.

Versatility

Stylists need multi-functional tools that can easily adapt to different styling preferences and hair types, and this is where Dyson’s professional hair dryers really shine. These dryers are suitable for all hair types and textures, and come with intelligent attachments to help you easily create sleek, wavy, or curly styles while saving valuable space in your salon. 

Faster Drying

If there’s one word to describe Dyson hair dryers it’s efficient. Their Supersonic dryers are engineered for fast, intelligent drying with a small yet powerful motor that’s surprisingly quiet. These professional hair dryers are a great option if you’re looking to save precious time without sacrificing on results for your clients. 

Reduced Heat Damage

Extreme heat can have a big impact on your clients’ hair quality and scalp health. Dyson products use high-speed, high-pressure airflow technology to dry hair quickly, so that there’s less reliance on heat. They also utilize intelligent heat control technology, which constantly measures and regulates airflow temperature to help avoid heat damage.  

Easy To Use

Dyson hair dryers are a favorite among stylists for their user-friendly experience—they’re lightweight, comfortable to work with, and designed to meet the needs of a busy salon environment. These benefits are especially important if you’re a hairstylist who spends hours on their feet every day or often struggles with achy arms.  

Shiny, Frizz-Free Results 

At the end of the day, it’s all about making sure your clients are happy with their results. Dyson’s technology is renowned for protecting the hair’s natural shine and creating smooth, polished styles that last all day. The brand's hair dryers use negative ions to help reduce static and keep frizz and flyaways under control.
