Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked up the Shark Flexstyle air styler and dryer system for my wife who is hairdresser as she was looking for a prosumer level tool for use at home and travel. We have experience with many of Shark's products and they have mastered the art of moving air! We also admire their commitment to solid, quality solutions. The product comes securely packaged and offers a selection of attachments to get you started right out of the box. The product has a satisfying heft and feel in your hands. The barrel is a bit heavy which speaks to its quality construction but also proved a bit fatiguing to hold over time. My wife mentioned that she would have appreciated a textured surface where she grabbed the unit to give her the sense of a more secure grip. Shark products always feature clever engineering. For example the wand features a pivoting action that converts it a right angle, multi-speed, multi-temperature, blow dryer with plenty of volume! The controls are touch sensitive, convenient to reach and offer a good selection of heat and volume. The tips of the attachments are insulated so that you can use both hands to wrap your hair without the danger of burning yourself. As expected the blow dryer moves a significant amount of air given its size. The choice of multiple temperature settings, including a "cold shot" makes this a very flexible tool. Attaching the styling tools is easy and they too feature quality construction. The inclusion of both "right" and "left" curling attachments is intended to enhance switching sides as you work but ultimately she found it to be a bit of a gimmick as anyone who is used to a regular curling iron has probably mastered the task with a single barrel. The styling concentrator attachment was a bit problematic. The unit made it relatively easy to wrap her hair and held it securely during the drying/curling process but the resulting curls really didn't provide long-lasting results. In fact, sometimes the airflow will "blow-out" the curl as you unravel it! I suspect that your experience may vary based on the texture and volume of your hair but keep this in mind when you're thinking of buying this product! A final note in support of this tool is that Shark offers an array of addition attachments that may be purchased to add even more capabilities. Overall, the Shark FlexStyle is a well built product that I believe satisfied most of her needs and would earn a recommendation to her friends and customers.

I love it so far. The only drawback is my curls won’t stay all day.

Very disappointed. Machine was easy to use. Curled great but was gone in about 5 minutes. It was still wearble but as soon as i stepped outside complete frizz bomb! Dryer was awesome but not $300 awesome.

I tried to order this item, but the roadie driver said she could not locate my building, which is ridiculous when Amazon delivered hundreds of packages a day

I don’t understand all of the great reviews. The curls would not hold at all and the brush attachment don’t work any better than the Revlon on-step brush which is so much cheaper.

I have to say this is by far the best hair dryer or styling product I have ever owned! I have tried so many different products that claim to be easy or fun to use and they have always fallen short! This Shark FlexStyle™ Air Drying & Styling System is the best system I have had the pleasure of using. It is lightweight and easy to use. Swapping from a hairdryer to a styling tool is quick and easy. The tools you desire to use lock into place keeping them secure while using and there is a slider button to quickly unlock and change tools. The paddle brush and oval brush work fantastic to smooth out your hair and give it that salon look! I’m not going to lie I was skeptical about the auto-wrap curlers! I was convinced it was going to just tangle my hair, it didn’t and was absolutely so much fun! The auto-warp curlers are my favorite tool included in the box, this was first time in my life curling my hair without getting burned, which is huge! There are three fan speed and heat settings as well as a cool air button. The fan motor is surprisingly quiet for a hair dryer! I have never been able to use a hairdryer to store my daughters hair because she is so sensitive to sound, this one she enjoyed letting me do her hair and also LOVES the auto-wrap curlers. I can say, there isn’t really anything I don’t care for with the Shark FlexStyle™ Air Drying & Styling System. I have been enjoying using this product daily and am so thrilled with how my hair looks after using it!

Could not get curls to stay. Less than 5 minutes after I’d curl, they would fall out and it looked like I’d done nothing to my hair. I tried it a few different times, thinking it was just user error. Ended up just returning it.

It’s not worth the hype. For one, my curls stay all of 5 minutes. After that my hair looks like a rats nest for the rest of the day. For two, I’ve had it less then 2 weeks… and it’s already shut off and won’t turn back on…

Had it for like 4 months and it stopped working. Before buying this one i had the revelon one that still works and does a better job.

Not user friendly, couldn’t figure it out even with a video.

I return it because my wife didn't like it. Maybe for women that do not have a thick hair mat work perfect.

I was expecting a little more curl and blow out look but it does not hold in my hair It’s heavier than I expected

I dislike throning it off and on with each curl. The brushes are entirely too big. I end up with straight and staticky hair with every attachment except the diffuser.

The hair dryer itself works really well. It’s a nice smaller size and easy to handle. It has a sleek design as well. The adjustment from blow dryer to curler is very smooth and easy. The curler itself takes some practice as I found the mechanics a bit strange at first but it gets easier with more practice. It’s not always so easy to get it to grab your hair properly. I was hoping the curling feature would be a little bit easier. I found it difficult to do the hair in the back of my head as it was a struggle to figure out how to hold it, in order for hair to get picked up. This could get easier with more practice. The curl works but does not seem to last long in my hair. It’s possible it could work better for denser or thicker hair. My hair is very straight and fine. However, I am hoping with a lot more practice, I’ll get better at it and the curls will last longer. So far I tried the curler twice and have received so-so results. The Oval brush attachment works well and is easy to use. It helps add volume to your hair, while being able to style your hair at the same time.

Having used this product, I wish I would have ordered the one with more attachments. I have fairly short hair, and the brush is larger than expected and better suited for shoulder length and longer hair. The two wands worked reasonably well for my shorter hair, and I liked that I got volume without frizz. I have baby fine hair which is prone to flying away and no static here. My oldest daughter also has baby fine hair, and it left hers with a healthy, shiny, smooth look. Her boyfriend also used it(just the dryer) and he liked it as well. The biggest complaint for this dryer is the dryer itself. There is nothing to keep your hand from sliding over the air vents, so either a longer handle or some kind of 'stop' above the vents would prevent this. This is the main reason for the 4. It's distracting. We all liked the multiple settings for heat and air, and were surprised how gently the wands attracted hair for curling/styling. The brush and wands are easy to attach and remove, and we also like how little space it takes up, so will be great for a carry on bag. It would be nice if it had some kind of drawstring travel bag to keep it together.

It hard to turn back on when I shut it off for a few seconds

I have very long, thick hair, so a thorough, full-style blowout takes 30-40 mins. when I do it right. It’s hard work holding a blow dryer in one hand & a brush in the other while trying to part & separate sections to dry for such a prolonged period. This is why I often just default to using a diffuser & go curly. I’ve tried so many hair dryers, curling irons & other styling gadgets over the years, many of which have proven ineffective, that I didn’t have high expectations going into my testing of this new system. But I was pleasantly surprised w/the great results! There are several features that I really like about this Shark drying system: 1. The functional design of the dryer: the hinge system makes it easy to turn the device from dryer mode to styler w/one easy twist. And the styler locking mechanism makes it simple to switch from a brush to the curlers. 2. The Oval & Paddle brushes provide enough tension to produce a smooth finish. 3. The ability to simultaneously dry & brush is a huge timesaver that I cut my drying time in half! But it takes practice, especially when you’ve been holding a dryer in one hand & a brush in the other for so many years. 4. The Auto-Wrap Curlers really work! 5 Stars for this innovation! They’re another timesaver and they produce the large bouncy curls that I want. Again, proficiency w/this tool takes some repetition, but I don’t think I’ll be breaking out the old curling iron anymore now that I have this very efficient mutl-styler. The only 2 negatives for me: 1. The high-pitched sound of the high-rev motor is annoying. While my previous high-end hairdryer was also pretty loud, it had a lower-pitched roar. I understand that there are tradeoffs with a strong power tool, but the next iteration needs to be quieter and/or lower-pitched. 2. Both the Oval & Paddle brushes shed bristles w/each use. I’m finding about a dozen tines on the floor after each drying which are a pain to vacuum after every session. I’m concerned about the durability of these attachments. Are all the tines going to detach over time? None of my other brushes shed like this.

turns off when heated… How supposed to dry my hair?

Blow dryer not the best. My wife struggled to get it to work good .

This was a requested gift for my daughter who’s in college. Putting aside the holiday discounted price, she absolutely loves this combo set. She originally wanted the much more expensive brand we all know about after trying it, but has been crazy happy with this and says she likes this much better. It’s add in attachments are something she raves about as well as the adjusting top that alllws her to switch its use between hair dryer and curler/waves/straightener. A huge hit, bottom line. Well made, awesome color, and multiple uses. Highly recommend..
