Anyone have a parlux hairdryer ?

I used my friends parlux hairdryer and I really liked it , but as I only used it once I don’t know if I was having ‘ a good hair day ‘ anyway.
Does anyone have one ? And would you recommend ?

( not interested in a dyson , out of budget )

thanks in advance

I had one. Cost over£100 and lasted 5 years .repair was£70 so bought a new hairdryer- different make for £35.

I have a very light one and love it. Had it for 10 years and would replace with same without question when it eventually dies. Used everyday, sometimes twice.

My Parlux was an MN purchase. It’s ok. Not amazing. I guess better than my cheapo £10 Boots one. It’s dries hair quicker and heat isn’t as intense.

I have one, I love it. I much prefer it to the dyson which I find blasts all the body out of my hair.

I have the Compact 3500 and it is incredible. My hairdresser uses a combo of the GHD and Parlux but recommended I get the Parlux. I have extremely thick, very curly and long hair which I blow dry either straight or into loose waves. My hair is damaged by bleach, but this hair dryer gives a finish that belies that.
I bought it for a milestone birthday for a friend who loves it too, she has different hair from mine. The longer power lead is one of the extra bits I love about too, but the power is the best, I’ve halved my blow dry time.

I've had mine for about 6 years. It's awesome. Dries my hair quickly and easily, v powerful, long cord and seems indestructible.

Yes I have one, it’s fab. I’ve heard good things about the dyson too but parlus is way cheaper plus I have very fine, flyaway hair so needed a gentle hairdryer.

I have a Parlux Alyon. I really like it- it’s significantly lighter, quieter and faster than my old Babyliss, and when you’ve got long, thick hair everything makes a difference.

I used a Dyson when I was away for a week and it was rubbish in comparison to my Parlux .

Love mine and it’s lasted significantly longer than the dyson I had. It’s also significantly better than the ghd ones at my gym.

Dries a lot quicker and less frizz. I’ve managed to almost completely ditch the straighteners.

I've got one, fell for all the colours.
Mine is solid, reliable, gets the job done and I miss it when I'm away. It is on the heavy side. I've had mine about 9 or 9 years.

dolphinsarentcommon · 05/08/2022 20:05

My hairdresser uses them and got me one from their supplier because they're excellent.

il0vew1ne · 05/08/2022 20:07

Yes, I have had one for around 8 years, no problems I love it.
I relented at Christmas and got a dyson, it was awful for my hair and gave it to my daughter in law.
love my parlux.

IndigoApple · 05/08/2022 20:56

Yes I asked for it for Christmas 2011 after a recommendation on here and it’s still going strong. Before that I always had cheaper hairdryers from Boots etc that lasted about 3 years. It dries my thick hair quickly, I’d like to try a Dyson though.

WeedGardener · 05/08/2022 21:15

Love mine. I brought it when my old cheap hairdryer broke and I did a lot of research. I tried a GHD one and a friend’s Dyson but just liked the Parlux best. It’s not that heavy, dries fast and gets excellent volume into my thin frizzy hair, making it much smoother.

Mercedesbenz2022 · 05/08/2022 22:27

Thanks for everyone s replies
! I will get the compact too , I have fine hair but lots of it so after hearing about the Dysons excessive power ( which is out of budget anyway ) I think the parlex is the one , in racing car red

Using my hair dryer and straighteners (unless going to an event) is one of the first things I've cancelled now I'm out of my fixed rate electricity contract.
