Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve used the Shark FlexStyle for 2 weeks—quick drying time and adds real volume for thinning hair. Faster than my old dryer because the brushing and drying happens at the same time. INSTALL/SETUP Basically none—plug in, pick your attachment, go. Swapping combs/heads is the only “setup.” The only learning curve is the grip: you’re brushing and drying, but it doesn’t move exactly like a normal brush, so it takes a session or two to get the angle right. BUILD/FEEL Feels solid—even though the casing is plastic, there’s no flex or rattle. Attachments are a bit bulky, but they click in/out easily. Noise is pretty average (a touch quieter than my last dryer) and the overall setup feels compact but just as effective. FEATURES/FUNCTIONS DRYING SPEED — From towel-damp to styled in under 5 minutes—low effort, low fuss. VOLUME/SHAPE — The brush + airflow combo lifts at the roots and keeps shape without frying ends—nice boost for thinning hair. COMFORT/HEAT — The low-heat approach is the win here: dries fast without that “hot spot” burn. I don’t feel like I’m cooking my hair anymore. DOWNSIDE/WISH I wish the handle had a slight ergonomic curve—the straight, thicker grip works, but a softer contour would make handling easier. OVERALL A quick, easy multi-styler that dries fast and adds real volume—does what it should with less heat and less hassle.

So disappointed in this expensive dryer!!! Does not hold curls for long! Leaves my hair fuzzy and dry looking! Has broken off my hair and I use professional products in my hair. I do not recommend this dryer! Do not waste your money

My hair naturally curly and never had issues straightening or blow drying it. Usually I use the drybar double shot and it gives me the best shinny and flowy blowout, and it is always straight for days. This product however did not work. 10 minutes after using it, my roots were getting curly and my hair was frizzy. I tried all the tips I saw online and nothing helped. The curl attchement does not hold/stay doesn’t matter how much hairspray I use. Overall very disappointed and wish I could return this. My hair looks frizzy and ugly and when I use it. Do not recommend if your hair is not straight.

Such a great hair dryer and curling tools. I love that you can use it on dry hair also. My curls stay for 2 days and don’t loose their volume. Great purchase, Highly recommend it

Like the results but gets really hot! Also the cool seems more warm than dyson.

Did not work for my wife, she tried all of the different settings and her hair would not stay the way she fixed it.

Returned. Was not what i had expected for a qaulity hair dryer.

It's somewhat odd how the Shark hair dryers can look more like a lightsaber than the typical bathroom appliance I grew up with, and yet still somehow make more intuitive sense to me than any other hair styling tools I've tried. I've had many SharkNinja products over the years and found them to occupy an interesting middle ground between meme-worthy fluff and solid engineering. The FlexStyle stands apart in leaning a bit more towards the latter than the former. Rather than including every possible tool and option you might need they opt for an almost minimalist loadout of a hairdryer, oval brush, and curling set. More accessories are available if you want them, of course, but for most I imagine this will be more than enough. All three do their jobs very well and, thanks to the power of the hair dryer, very quickly. And unlike the last hairdryer I had, I didn't actually need to consult any guides on how to work them either. Everything from the settings to the behavior of the different attachments is intuitive enough to get good results with maybe five minutes of study, specifically on which parts of the tools are actually safe to touch when you're using them, and it does a great job of drying even thick hair without risking heat damage.

If you have curly and frizzy hair this ain’t for you. It’s also pretty noisy. Which I had a positive review

My wife really likes her Shark FlexStyle but it did have a bit of a learning curve and there are a few things to be mindful of. The FlexStyle is best suited for thin to regular hair. My wife is latina and has very thick long hair. The styler functions do work for her, but her hair doesn't hold the shape as well as my daughter's hair which is a little thinner. It does help when you use the cooling function to lock in the curl after letting it twist while hot. While the styling portion may not be the best for her hair type she is very impressed with the blow dryer function. Despite it's slim, compact size the FlexStyle is very quick to dry her hair and offers enough power to get through her thick hair. The attachments connect firmly and the pivot locks nicely into place and doesn't have much wiggle to it. It's compact stature makes it easy to handle for extended styling tasks. The only minor annoyance is the placement of the air intake. It's placement is understandable, if not inevitable, but it is easily covered up by your hand, especially in hair dryer mode. This chokes out the dryer slightly and forces you to regrip the handle regularly. All in, the Shark FlexStyle is a great device that offers lots of functionality in a compact package.

I like the brush blowout feature but the attachment comes off with resistance while blowing out even though it is locked. The curling attachment is a learning curve for sure but overall I like the product.

The product is good but the brush attachments are a bit to big and their brissels could be tougher for someone wigh heavier hair. Also they need to change the location of the on button.

Did not last 1 year. Will not buy another shark product.

Bought for my daughter at a Best Buy store 40 miles away. Luckily I had a relative in that area to pick it up for me. Very hard to get this at a discount. Wish it came with one more accessory that does not go on sale. Overall a good buy at a discount.

I bought this because it did the same thing as the Dyson Airwrap for much less money. I regret it. It didn't work as well, and then it stopped working altogether. I took it back to Best Buy and they acted as if I was foolish to think they would do anything about it. It broke within 6 months of purchase and to them, that was a long time. To me, that's ridiculous. To pay that much for something and then be scoffed at for expecting it to work longer than 6 months was insulting. "Take it up with Shark," they said. I will, but I'll have no way to get my hair dry until this is resolved. Very disappointed.

Worked great at first. Just over a year old and it spontaneously turns off while in use.

The Shark FlexStyle is a well-made, sleek-looking hairdryer that dries hair quickly. We needed a second hairdryer for traveling. I knew I wanted a Shark because we purchased a Shark hairdryer last year and liked it. The shape of the FlexStyle caught my eye because you can position the hairdryer in wand mode (straight) for packing between stacks of clothing in a suitcase. It has three temperature and airflow settings. The lowest settings of both produce enough airflow and warmth to quickly dry and style my hair. The attachments packaged with the FlexStyle are well-suited for long, fine hair, and they are easy to attach and remove. At first, I was a little concerned that the oval brush attachment might pull or tangle my hair, but it is surprisingly gentle. Using the curling attachments, you really can produce soft, beachy waves. The instructions include QR codes that link to how-to videos that can help you get started. For me, the FlexStyle does have a few minor cons. It’s a little heavier than I expected, and its sturdy cord adds to its weight. Because the air intake is on the handle, I have caught myself putting my hand over it. The medium and high air speeds produce a high-pitched sound that frightens my cats. Overall, The Shark FlexStyle is a quality hairdryer that comes with useful attachments.

I wanted to love this product and waited months for it to go on sale. Unfortunately, it left my hair really frizzy and not smooth at all.

This does an awful job. Does not hold a curl, and it is hard to get it to “wrap,” even when using extremely small sections. Also, it overheats every time I use it and shuts down before I am even halfway through.

I will start by saying I havr always been quite hair challanged. When I saw this mti styler (at 1/3 if the cost no less) I was intrigued. I have longed for a tool that made made styling my hair easier. This tool has made doing something with my hair much easier. This styler includes two 1.25" air wrap curlers; one to wrap left and one to wrap right, an oval brush, a paddle brush, styling concentrator and the styling base that folds into a micro hair dryer. One great thing about this multi-styler is that it is super lightweight and versatile. This would be great as a travel hairdryer! The biggest downside is that it doesnt come with any kind of carrying bag or case. I have always loved my hair curly, but have never been able to do it myself. If I could manage to do it, it always took hours and ended up looking like Shirley Temple. The air wrap tools made it simple and achieved the look i was going for. The upside is that you dry your hair while styling it. This make styling more time efficient. I also have very fine hair which often droops immediately; I seemed to get more longevity out of my curls. One con is that you have to turn the styler on and off each curl you do. The buttons are not easy to find by feel so I'd often turn the fan or heat down instead. There is also a bit of a learning curve in getting the hair to wrap more neatly around the styler. This styler does not cause any heat damage as it is always regulating heat to ensure not to get too warm. It has 3 heat settings and a cool shot button in addition to 3 fan speeds. One of the coolest features is how it folds/flips into a mini hair dryer. This sets this styler far apart from the competition. In addition this offers a paddle brush. I was able to use this feature to dry my hair while making it straight and smooth. The oval brush adds more volume while drying while the consentrator helps focus the air to one area while drying. All in all this is a great tool to have.
