Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Shark SpeedStyle PRO Flex is a fast, sturdy hair dryer with a sleek look and relatively small size. The handle swivels so that it more easily fits in a drawer or suitcase. The heavy-duty cord would likely reduce the chance of it kinking and wire damage, which offers an added safety benefit, although the heavy cord does add to the overall weight of the dryer. The cord does include a loop for hanging the hair dryer on a hook. The model I reviewed comes with four attachments—a Frizzfighter Finishing Tool, Quicksmooth Brush (half brush), Defrizzfast Diffuser, and a Turbo Concentrator. All easily and securely attached to the dryer and easily removed by clicking a button. Depending on hair type, you may find some attachments more useful than others. I have fine hair just below shoulder length. Both the concentrator and the half-brush attachment pivot, making them more ergonomic. The finishing tool does not pivot and seems a little more difficult to use, and its rubber edge tends to grab my hair. The defuser has extendable prongs for use with thick hair. Although very sturdy, the diffuser feels heavy to me (6.9 oz.). The manual includes photos and descriptions for additional attachments that users may purchase separately, including a full brush, which would be useful for my hair type. The box and product labels include QR codes to videos showing how to use the attachments and maintain the hair dryer, including instructions on how to clean the filter. The ability to disassemble the filter and clean it is a new feature for me. Regular maintenance should help reduce the risk of overheating and extend the life of the dryer. The Shark SpeedStyle PRO Flex includes three settings for air flow and three settings for temperature. The lowest speed seems quieter than a typical hair dryer, while providing a strong enough airflow to dry my hair quickly. The highest speed setting is loud and has a high-pitched whine, which terrifies my pets. To me, the highest temperature setting is too hot, even though the dryer has a Scalp Shield Mode. In short, the Shark SpeedStyle PRO Flex is a durable, relatively small, visually appealing, fast-drying hair dryer. But, as with almost any product, it comes with a few cons, which, for me, include the weight of the dryer (in spite of its size), excessive heat, and cost.

Just ok. The attachments are cumbersome to use and probably could have received the same drying quality from a retail store hair dryer. Just meh

looks cool and the simple hair drying function is great, the other extensions are really awkward to use.

The compact fold-up design makes for easy travel and storage. It is also relatively light weight which also is a big plus. I like the fact that it comes with a long cord (about 9 feet) with a built-in Velcro strap to keep it neat when storing. I’m not sure what the purpose is but there is a large block about 12” from the plug built into the cord that can make it a little bulky though. It dries hair quickly yet does not feel overly hot. I find that I am spending less time drying than I had been with my old hair dryer. There are 3 heat settings and 3 fan speed settings along with a cool shot button to turn off heat while depressed. Overall it is one of the quietest units that I have ever used. The scalp shield sounds fancy, but it mainly just seems to be a heat setting lower than low along with some fancy blue additional lights that come on. The 4 attachments are really nice, and I wish that some sort of bag was included to hold them all. The ones I find the most useful are the QuickSmooth brush which does a great job keeping hair nice and straight and the Turbo Concentrator for getting the job done in a hurry. I’ve tried the FrizzFighter attachment a couple of times on my daughter’s hair which is really frizzy and was happy with how it helped tame her hair and made it much easier to style. Overall, it is one of the best hair dryers that I’ve ever used, however, it is a pretty big investment if you are used to the thirty dollar commodity variety.

The Shark - SpeedStyle™ Pro FLEX Professional Performance High-Velocity Hair Dryer System is amazing. First of all, it is lightweight which makes drying very long, thick hair so much easier. It is compact and during drying does not feel heavy or cumbersome. This is a plus when drying times are longer. It also has so many great attachments. I have naturally wavy hair, so I use the diffuser if I want to dry my hair and keep the natural wave. The diffuser keeps the hair from blowing all over the place which keeps the hair wavy. When straightening my hair, I use the narrow drying tip to direct airflow down from the root to the tip. This allows for quicker drying and less fly aways. For an ultra-sleek finish I use the smoothing attachment that magically lessens the static and fly aways from already straightened hair. This tool is amazing. Not sure how it works, but it does. My blow out looks smooth and sleek. The brush attachment works great for curling the ends under and for a thorough blow dry. It helps accelerate the drying time and controls the airflow through the hair. Overall, this is an amazing hair dryer. It is light weight and easy to switch the different attachments to achieve different looks and styles. I also like how fast my hair dries with this hair dryer. I would highly recommend it for those who have long, wavy or straight hair.

The Shark - SpeedStyle™ Pro FLEX Professional Performance High-Velocity Hair Dryer System is professional looking and the dryer feels like it’s sturdy and well built. It comes with most all the attachments anyone would need. The following attachments were included in the box: The FrizzFighter Finishing Tool, the QuickSmooth Brush, the Turbo Concentrator and the DefrizzFast Diffuser. The only attachment that was not included was the Flex Express Touchup Brush. We love that it’s compact enough to fold up and fit in the drawer. Also the DefrizzFast Diffuser works really well and its great that you can adjust it. The scalp cooling feature works really well and makes drying our hair much easier as well as faster while protecting the scalp. The first time my wife used it, her hair looked so good it was like she had been to the salon. She was extremely impressed. She said it saved her so much time and made her hair feel good. It brought out her natural curls. There are plenty combinations of heat and speed settings as well.. There is an auto shutoff feature for safety and a nice heavy duty cord that is 8 foot long. The two year warranty that is provided shows that it will be a long lasting, well backed product. This dryer seems like a lot of bang for the bucks.

Works very well, but quite uncomfortable to use. Hopefully more ergonomic iterations will be released in the future.

Love how this hairdryer does not damage my hair with the heat and it’s fast!

Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex Hair Dryer: When it comes to hair dryers, most of us have come to expect a basic level of performance that includes quick drying, decent styling, and perhaps a few attachments. However, the Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex Hair Dryer takes things to a whole different level. With its innovative technology, sleek design, and impressive versatility, it offers a premium experience that delivers salon-quality results at home. After using it extensively, I would say this dryer is a serious contender in the world of high-end styling tools. Design and Build Quality The first thing you will notice about the SpeedStyle is its modern and sleek design. It feels compact and well balanced in the hand unlike other professional-grade dryers; rather, it has a streamlined look and feels very ergonomic. The lightweight nature of the dryer is particularly noticeable during prolonged use. There is no wrist strain, and it is very maneuverable and comfortable to use. The handle is well-balanced and easy to grip, ensuring that you can control the device with ease, whether you are styling your hair or using the dryer to prep for a quick blowout. One of the standout features of this dryer is its flex handle, which allows the dryer to rotate and fold over the handle for more compact storage. It makes it quite easy to store in a drawer with space left over and it’s also well suited for travel if you want to pack it in your carry-on bag. The materials used in the construction of the dryer also feel premium. The plastic body is solid and durable, while the buttons and controls are tactile and responsive. As it is a digital product, the controls are electronicy…if that’s a word, not analog buttons and switches like traditional hair dryers. Shark has prioritized both form and function, resulting in a dryer that feels both high-end and practical. Performance and Speed The Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex is designed to deliver high-performance results, and it does not disappoint. With its powerful motor and advanced airflow technology, this dryer promises faster drying times without compromising hair health. The drying time is impressively quick, even for thick or long hair, making it ideal for those on a time crunch in the mornings. SpeedStyle Pro Flex measures and regulates temperature 1,000 times a second, never exceeding 230°F, and never approaching heat-damaging temperatures of 302°F. I think this feature along with the Scalp Shield feature is what keeps me from breaking into a sweat when I use the dryer for extended periods. Neither of these features seem to detract from its ability to dry efficiently. It’s just the advantage you get from a digital product. Another interesting feature for this dryer is the IQ Styling feature. It’s designed to adjust the output of the dryer to the optimal temperature and airflow for whichever accessory you’re using at the time. Each accessory makes the dryer sound slightly different so verifying that this feature is functioning by ear isn’t necessarily achievable, but each accessory seems to function to the best of it’s advertised ability when in use. For those with thick, coarse, or curly hair, the Shark Speed Style Pro Flex offers multiple heat and speed settings, allowing you to customize the dryer to your specific hair type and styling needs. The dryer provides a cool shot button that helps lock in your style and set your hair in place, giving you that salon-finished look. Flexibility and Versatility One of the most impressive features of the Shark Speed Style Pro Flex is its versatility. It comes with multiple attachments, including my two favorites, a concentrator nozzle and a diffuser. These allow you to switch up your styling routine depending on your needs. The concentrator nozzle is perfect for precision styling, enabling you to direct the airflow exactly where you need it, whether you're trying to straighten your hair or add volume to the roots. The diffuser attachment, on the other hand, is a must-have for those with curly or wavy hair, helping to distribute the airflow evenly without causing frizz or disrupting the curl pattern. My daughter uses the dryer as well and she is a huge fan of the diffuser. Her hair is far curlier than mine and I don’t have much use for the diffuser, but she says it works ten times better than any other diffuser attachment she’s tried. It’s to the point where I’m getting one for her for Christmas simply because I’m sick of chasing the dryer down every time she decides to “borrow” it. Ease of Use and Comfort Shark has also made sure to keep the user experience in mind with this hair dryer. The controls are intuitive and easy to use, allowing you to adjust the settings with a simple press of a button. The heat and speed settings are clearly labeled, and the cool shot button is conveniently located for quick access when you need to lock in your style. The dryer also features a long cord, which provides ample flexibility to move around while styling without being restricted by a short, tangled cord. This is a small but appreciated detail that makes styling easier and more enjoyable. Final Thoughts The Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex Hair Dryer is a standout product that offers exceptional performance, versatility, and ease of use. Whether you're looking to speed up your drying time, reduce frizz, or create a variety of styles, this dryer has you covered. Its innovative features set it apart from many competitors in the market. In terms of value for money, the Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex Hair Dryer offers a premium experience at a competitive price point. If you’re someone who values quick drying, smooth results, and flexibility in your styling tools, this hair dryer is definitely worth considering. It’s a game-changer in the world of hair care, delivering salon-quality results in the comfort of your own home. For anyone seeking to elevate their at-home styling routine, the Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex is undoubtedly a top choice.

I had this very expensive hair dryer for 8 months and it stopped working. Shark refused to authorize a refund so I was sent another unit, which I will not be using. Save your money and buy a $20-30 dryer from the drugstore. So disappointed.

I purchased this as a birthday gift for my daughter. She was so excited as she has been wanting one yet after using it the excitement faded. Honestly, she has seen the same hair results using similar hair tools that costs far less.

If one were ever going to feel intimidated by a hair dryer... this would probably be the one to fear. At first glance, there doesn't seem to be that much to the SpeedStyle. It's about half the size of a normal hair dryer, and only gets smaller when folded. It's relatively lightweight. And when you turn it on, it's not particularly loud. The moment you actually point it at your head, however, any illusions about what it is will quickly be blown away. In terms of both wind speed and heat the dryer packs an impressive amount of power - and with the right attachments, it can also make for a great styling tool. To give you some example of my use case, I have fairly short. fine hair that's quite thick around the edges and thinning somewhat at the top. My girlfriend, meanwhile, has long hair which is much more coarse and significantly thicker overall. This dryer works very well on both - albeit requiring very different attachments and settings. The ability to dramatically dial down the heat and rely only on air movement for drying makes it a lot more tolerable on my scalp than pretty much any other dryer I've used, and makes styling it after a shower significantly easier. And in my girlfriend's case, it can give her even more volume than she already has with a minimum of fuss. There are a few downsides that one might want to consider, though. First up is perhaps somewhat obvious, but there's a definite learning curve to this that I don't think you get with most hair dryers. Shark has done their best to hold your hand through the process. Every attachment has a QR code attached which can take you to an online tutorial explaining what it's for and how it's to be used, and there's a booklet included explaining the basic function of every one available for the unit. The second thing to be aware of is that they've only included the attachments for some of the most common hair types. If your hair is straight, lightly styled, or thick and curly, you are definitely going to be covered. You may need to invest in some more parts though if you have really wavy hair or loose curls.

Shark - SpeedStyle™ Pro FLEX Professional Performance High-Velocity Hair Dryer System Our household loves all things Shark since we find them well designed. When choosing a product, it comes down to it doing what you want it to do and the quality of the product. The Shark - SpeedStyle™ Pro FLEX Professional Performance High-Velocity Hair Dryer System doesn’t disappoint in quality and design. The “fit and finish” is superb. The Shark - SpeedStyle™ Pro FLEX Professional Performance High-Velocity Hair Dryer comes in different sets of combinations of attachments. Mine came with the FrizzFighter Finishing Tool, QuickSmooth Brush, Turbo Concentrator and DefrizzFast Diffuser. In addition, there are a couple of other attachments that were not part of my combination pack. The attachments are, of course, primarily there to help dry and style different types of hair – it’s not a one-size-fits-all product, nor should it be. By the way, when you attach one of the attachments to the dryer, the IQ function built into the dryer automatically sets the heat/air flow for that particular attachment. Of course, you can then set the heat and air flow buttons to your own preference if needed. I especially liked the ability to fold the dryer’s handle up and pack it away. The first time I tried folding the handle, it took a minute to figure it out. By the way, the Styling Guide booklet that comes with it explains everything you need to know very well, but it helps if you read it first! Because I have very fine straight hair, I love the FrizzFighter Finishing Tool. It helped to lay down the fly-aways giving my hair a shiny, sleek finished look. It took a few times using it to learn how to get a style that looked sleek and not flat. My suggestion is to use an appropriate hair product before styling your hair. The dryer is powerful, but you have control of the airflow and heat with easy-to-use buttons on the dryer handle. This allows for quick hair drying without damage from too much heat. In terms of improving the design, I feel that repositioning the Cool Shot button in the dryer handle would be helpful. The way I hold the dryer (nearer the top of the handle) I found that my thumb would often hit the Cool Shot button when I didn’t intend to do so. Another suggestion would be to reduce the stiffness and thickness of the power cord, if possible, to enable easier packing away – the present cord size may be necessary because of the powerful dryer, but the cord situation should be looked at by Shark to see if improvement is possible. What makes me pick “This unit over THAT” is the build quality and hair styling variations built into the Shark - SpeedStyle™ Pro FLEX Professional Performance High-Velocity Hair Dryer System. This system will last a long time, and if I choose to change my hair style, it will flex with me!

So far I have not loved this produt. I timed myself to see how fast I could fully dry my hair, no styling. It only took 10 minutes! I usually use the brush to give a blowout effect to my hair and so far I dont like it! another downside to this, the sound it makes! It is definitely not dog friendly it will hurt their ears. It's a thin buzzing sound that gets annoying on the long run, but you also get used to it.

Bought to repalce a Dyson and it is not as good. Should have returned it

I really can’t overstate how much I like the fact that this thing is so compact. I don’t have much bathroom space, and my previous hair dryer dominated a drawer all by itself and it’s attachments. The fact that this thing is so compact has absolutely helped with cutting down on clutter. Honestly, if your bathroom is cramped; I’d recommend it on that alone. However, there’s a lot more to like here than just that. It’s got solid construction and performance, but it can also tell what tip you connected to it and adjust the settings accordingly so you don’t absentmindedly melt your hair or use a temperature too low to be helpful via the IQ mode. That’ll also help keep you from burning your scalp. It comes with all the tips I’m used to for a hair dryer, and all of those are compact as well without being too small to be useful. Overall, I liked using this thing. I have really thick hair, and it was able to get it dry before my arm started to hurt from holding the dryer up, so I’m pretty happy with it. It also looks like it’ll be a lot easier to pack for any trips I go on, which is a plus. I’d absolutely recommend this, especially if you need to save space in your bathroom.

Broke after two weeks of minimal use. When my girlfriend turns it on, it turns off immediately and there's a clicking noise coming from the unit. Pretty pathetic and a huge waste of money.

I got this dryer for my wife. The old hair dryer was falling apart and she was ready for a new one. The old dryer was very loud, this one is clearly quieter, while it’s still a hair dryer, it’s at least half as loud as the old one. YouTube reviews were raving about the new dryers from one of Shark’s competitors, and since I trust Shark stuff more than that other brand, this looked like the way to go. The SpeedStyle Pro Flex ( I wish I could get a job naming stuff at Shark!) is comfortable to hold and well balanced. It’s very light, she has super curly long hair, so she was happy that her arms and hands were not fatigued after using this new dryer. The dryer’s handle folds for travel, making it much easier to pack with it’s close rectangular shape after folding. Air velocity and heat are all powerful or gentle based on your settings, it does not overpower when you need a more gentle dry, and can also be quite the air cannon if you need it. The Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex comes with 4 of 6 available attachments. The quick smooth brush works, but you can’t really do any hair styling with it. If you want to style your hair you have to buy another attachment. The convenience of having one unit that can do everything she needs makes it worth it, though. The diffuser is noteworthy and very well designed. The slide to extend feature allows you to really isolate roots and work out to the ends separately. It makes it much easier to get high volume, ropey curls that she likes, she’s really impressed. The Frizzfighter tool works really well when she’s straightening her hair, it’s worked well to tame her flywaway/frizz with little or no product. The filter on the back is easy to take off and clean, many other hair dryers make it an ordeal to clean. Everything isn’t roses though, there are a couple of nuisances that seem out of place on a high end personal appliance. The controls on the handle are on the wrong side, they’re on the back, facing your palm, so you cannot make no-look adjustments like most dryers that have the controls on the front side of the handle. Changing up hair dryer settings shouldn’t take two hands. The GFI (or AFI, dunno) is in a bad place on the cord, too large and poorly placed. It takes up too much space, and clutters up the countertop. These little complaints are nitpicking, as this is a great hairdryer, my wife loves it, it’s the best she’s ever used – that’s high praise. Recommended!

Love size of hair dryer and that it folds up. Unfortunately, the power bank attached to the cord is very cumbersome and kept banging into the wall as I was drying my hair. Did like that there was an attachment on the hair dryer base so you can hang it Packaging was nicely presented and it was easy to remove all the pieces. I liked that each attachment had the directions on them or link to a video tutorial. I was impressed on how easy it was to add and remove each attachment. I used the brush and defrizzer. Amazing. Without even a lot of heat it smoothed my hair quickly. The brush attachment was easy to use and it’s great that you can rotate it 360 degrees. I was impressed that the directions showed the “cool” spots on where to hold when taking attachments off. Being relatively light weight, able to use it for a longe period of time, to style and maintain my hair. The base unit is smaller than our previous hair dryer, so it can sit easily on our counter and not need an elaborate storage.

I got this for my wife, wanted to upgrade what she was using. It has been off and on working as well as she wanted, then not. Wanted to return but the return period ended after 14 days, which is not enough.
