Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have never seen a hairdryer like this one until my daughter in law purchased one, so that made me buy one and I just love how you have cool or hot air to dry your hair, and the extra hair tools are definitely a big plus !!

It is amazing. Leaves hair shiny and full of volume!

Very good hair product, purchased at a decent price!

I love it, I brought it to my hair appointment and now my stylist is going to also invest in one. I especially love that it has the swivel option it's so comfortable to hold.

Amazing, my wife loves it. Looks like salon style!

I love this hair dryer, especially because it is 6 in 1, is sabes me so much time :,)

One of the best hair styling product in market . My wife lived it’s design and accessories .

This drying system has become the new favorite in my house. My wife and daughter are fighting over who gets to use it. They both have thick hair and have a hard time drying it in a timely fashion. In the past there was always a need to have both a dryer and a brush/comb to make sure their hair was evenly drying. Since using the Flexstyle their "get ready" time has reduced significantly. They no longer need to use both hands when drying as this tool acts as both a dryer and a comb, in turn saving valuable time. This time saver comes with both a brush attachment as well as a Left and Right curling heads that attach straight onto the top of the dryer. The dryer has a 90 degree pivot and lock function too that allows the user to get the perfect angle while styling and drying their hair. The power cord does have enough slack too to give the user enough room to maneuver around. It is light weight and is comfortable on the hands and fires up to temp quick quickly. Attaching new attachments has been a breeze too as they pop off with ease. We did not, however that this does require a lot of power and tripped our breaker while using the first time but by no means a dealbreaker for this product. In short, if you're looking for a dryer/styler that is versatile enough to both style and curl then this is a great option for you. Its robust design allows the user to rapidly dry their hair while combing through vs needing a separate brush to do so. A must have time saver!

Still new to using it but trying to get the hang of it with my short lil hair

I’ve had two of these now and it does a good job styling but the product is so cheap. I had my previous one for a year and got fed up with the parts coming loose so I used my heel squad warranty and swapped it out. After one use the new one had a part come loose again. This causes the product to rattle back and forth while you’re using it. Planning on returning this week. Honestly, just invest in the Dyson if you’re going to spend the money or know that you’re getting a cheap product

Definitely worth the money. Its just as good as the dyson and a 3rd of the cost. Ive never gotten this much volume from a styling product before. Highly recommend!

My first impression of the Shark FlexStyle Air Styling system is that of a premium hair tool. The look and feel is very impressive and it feels very durable in the hand. You can tell it is not a cheap tool. The pivoting head is a very cool feature and it makes switching from a traditional blow dryer to a curler very easy. First and foremost, the hair dryer feature is powerful traditional hair dryer. The shape of the tool is is straight tube and fits in the hand very nice. The system is also very lightweight. It makes operating it very easy. The brush attachment is also a convenient way to blow out your hair. It leaves the ends, or tips, curly. My daughter's hair is very thick so it took several attempts to get a curl. She has this issue with all hot air brushes as well. The curlers are also a nice add on, however my daughter only tried it once. It did work well, the one time she used it, for one curl. It worked very well so she stopped since she did not want to style her hair with extreme curls. Overall, we are very pleased with the Shark FlexStyle System. It is nice and compact so that we easily take it with on vacation. The styling features also work very well. Shark continues to make high quality products that my family loves to use.

There are different kinds of hair and products for styling each of them, the cost to have a product for each type of hair style would be very expensive, however this hair dryer, which is priced quite competitively and I could even say below the competition, allows you to get virtually any type of style that is to your liking and according to the type of hair you have. The first thing you ask is if this product is worth the price and knowing that there are other options out there with similar features, the honest answer I can give is, it is definitely worth every penny, it is a hair dryer that offers much more than just drying your hair, which by the way compared to an ordinary dryer is much more effective. The design besides being very aesthetic and elegant, is made in a way that is very simple and easy to use, a function that I really like is that you press a button to rotate the top of the dryer to have a better angle and grip when drying, I was fascinated. The motor blows out enough air in three levels to dry your hair in a short time. In terms of heat it also has three levels but with the first two you can style your hair very well because it generates enough heat and this added to the fact that it blows out the air strongly, makes it unnecessary to use the maximum heat level. Before styling the hair it is recommended to use some product to protect the hair from the heat, this varies from person to person, however we must not forget that we are exposing our hair to heat. The performance is great, each of the ways the aceseories can be use, I get a excellent result, it takes time but it is worh it. It is possible to straighten the hair and curl it if desired, give volume or if you have curly hair you can also get many styles. There are video guides on the Shark Beauty Youtube channel that shows you how to use the accessories in the best way and get the best out of them, I find them very useful. It is a product that, when you consider the price on the market for similar products that have an outstanding performance, exceeds expectations by far. Each of the accesories fit together without a problem, it is easy to use, it is comfortable and one thing that I like is that it has a button that when you hold it down when using hot air, it blows out cold air which is very helpful in some cases.The hair dryer is kind of loud similar to most common hair dryers. In summary, I can say that there are a countless number of hairstyles that can be achieved with this hair dryer, similar results to those of a beauty salon. It has a very elegant design, includes accessories quite useful and the best thing is not expensive, if you do not want to spend on high end brand products, this Shark FlexStyle is a great option, highly recommended.

I bought this for my daughter and she loves it. Gives hair so much volume with less damage.

I’ve been wanting to replace my girlfriend’s hairdryer for a while now. After repeated uses as a dryer for the dog, it has gotten to the point that it only lightly warms the air. She had been looking at getting one of the air curlers, as she also has wanted to replace her older curling iron. So, when I saw Shark had the FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System with curlers, I had to pick one up for her. Pros: - Easy to use & control air/temperature. - Comes with multiple attachments. - Curls well and lasts all day. Cons: - Takes practice to get the curling technique down. - Swapping out the curling attachments can cause burns. - Shark doesn’t provide extra attachment packs separately. Out-of-the-Box: Included with this FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System is a pair of Right & Left curler attachments, a Brush head attachment, and instructions. The FlexStyle is a sleek and compact multi-device that can replace both a traditional blow dryer and curling iron, plus additional specialty hair dryers with additional attachments. To turn on the dryer, you just slide the power button up when plugged in. Adjusting the heat or airflow is simply a push of a button, with the red button for heat control and button with a fan symbol for airflow. Heat has 4 levels: off, low, med, and high. Airflow has 3 levels: low, med, and high. There’s a third button further up for Cool Shot to lock in the curl when curling. The head can turn to be 90 degrees from the body by pushing down the leaver on the back side of the FlexStyle, then rotate the head. The attachments simply twist on the head, easy as can be. To swap out the different attachments, a similar lever is near the top of the head that when pushed will release the attachment. Instructions: There are 2 guides included with the FlexStyle: a quick reference card and a full attachment guide. The quick reference card is helpful to get started with curling. The full attachment guide really is there to encourage you to want additional attachments. On the quick reference card, there are 5 steps for curling that help you get started. We found that the hair needed to be dryer than suggested, just lightly damp and that curling in stages on the hair worked best. First curl the ends for 5-10 seconds, then the rest of the hair. This might mostly apply to longer hair, but it’s what got us the best results for my girlfriends’ hair. Drying: I found it worked great as a blow dryer, as I had to test it out before we put it anywhere near my girlfriend’s hair! On maximum heat, it does get quite hot, easily hot enough to fry your hair or scalp if you’re not careful. For the most part we were comfortable using the heat at Med (2 red dots). My only disappointment was one I knew going into the kit, that this pack only came with the curlers and brush, and no Styling Concentrator attachment. Drying without the Concentrator works but tends to blow the hair in all directions as the air is just coming out of the end of the FlexStyle, like using a regular blow dryer. The Concentrator would flatten out and focus the air, making a more uniform drying that is easier to direct. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there is an official extra attachments pack, but I’ll be keeping an eye out to see if I can pick up the attachments individually. Curling: The main reason we chose this FlexStyle System was for the Curling, my girlfriend has wanted an air curler but didn’t like the price of most of the systems when compared to a traditional curling iron. This FlexStyle is listed at $279.99 but went on sale during Black Friday for $159.99 which makes it a steal! On our first attempt, we followed the reference cards instructions but soon found that the hair needed to be almost completely dry to get a decent curl. The instructions suggest 80-90%, but if your hair is to wet or heavy or clumps together, it will not wrap around the curler on its own. Additionally, we found swapping out the curlers during use required either waiting 5mins for the attachment to cool down or using a silicone mat to swap out the attachments, as the curlers get very hot during use. It would be helpful to have a silicone mat included or little glove to swap out the hot attachments with. We dried her hair more, then gave it another try and on the second try we got much better results. One suggestion we found hard to maintain was the position of the FlexStyle, as the curlers will blow the hot air directly onto your head as you move it closer, which will start to burn after a while. We worked around this by her tilting the FlexStyler to direct the hot air away from her head and lowering the temperature down to Mid (2 red dots). This did mean we needed to increase the time per curl, but also was much more comfortable than on full blast. On the next try, on Thanksgiving at that, we tried another tweak to the reference card instructions. We had found that the best results happened when you curled the end 1/3 of your hair around the curler for 5-10 seconds first, then proceeded to curl the rest of the hair for another 5-8 seconds. This gave the ends of the hair more time to dry and produced a stronger curl. This more than likely depends on hair length, which her hair lands at the bottom of her shoulder blades. Additionally, we had lowered the temperature down to mid, which allowed us to keep the curler on the hair for a longer time without burning her hair. Overall, we were both very impressed with the results of the curls as we put them to the test while hosting Thanksgiving, which involved 12 hours of cooking, eating, and cleaning up afterwards! The top curls mostly fell out, but the mid and ends of the hair stayed wavy and curled. My girlfriend really loved all the complements to her hair, she’s looking forward to trying it out again when she goes to her next event. Conclusion: If you want to replace your old blow dryer and curling iron with one sleek and compact device, the Shark FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System is a great option. It’s easy to use and adjust to your desired style via one of the attachments or settings. It would be great to see an official additional attachment pack, but you can find most of them individually online, in case you wanted a specific attachment head that wasn’t included in your bundle. Overall, we’re more than happy to add this to our list of bathroom devices in place of the old blow dryer and curling iron!

The device works overall but has some quarks. Obviously, how well it does depends on the hair you are using it on and the user. I tested this mainly on my daughter and in summary, the curls wouldn’t stay even following the instructions to the letter, but the brush was great at adding volume to hair. Either way, it did an overall good job but results were not stellar. I am sure with a little practice results might be better. Pros: The design is very modern, sleek, and space saving. I can see the appeal with the design and 3 in 1 system which consist of the blow dryer, oval brush, and auto-wrap curlers. The blow dryer and oval brush save a lot of time and effort by cutting down the time it takes to style and blow dryer hair by at least 1/2 the time. When using the oval brush to style the hair, it creates shiny, soft, and frizz free hair, even without using styling products depending on your hair. The attachments are removed with no effort at all, just a switch of a button. The settings allow you to control the heat applied to your hair low, medium, and high, which is also the case for the air flow. Cons: The Auto-Wrap curlers are a good idea, however the execution is lacking. First, the instructions state that the hair must be 80-90% dry hair, which makes sense because it makes your hair easier to style, however the results were not as desired (see attached pictures). The curls were undefined, frizzy, and fell flat. The airflow is supposed to automatically pick up the ends of your hair which did not happen perhaps due to the air flow not being powerful enough. It just resulted in the hair blowing everywhere and making it frizzy, and definitely not curly or wavy. Also, when you wrap your hair around the wand “creating the curl”, you’re supposed to secure it, and hold the “Cool Shot” button for ten seconds to lock in your curl. Again, the idea seems pretty straightforward, however once you release the wand, the air flow blows your hair everywhere creating a frizzy, undefined, and flat curl. At first, I tried again thinking there was user error on my part, so after towel drying and blow drying my daughter’s hair, the results were the same.

The shark did not work like all of the videos and like I anticipated. I was so excited to get the shark and it truly disappointed me. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I could have been doing something wrong, sure! BUT with the amount of money we pay for this item, then it should either WORK or the instructions should be worth over $300. I tried doing my hair 5 times, and it never actually held. I tried my cousins African American hair and it did great, but then poofed back up by morning! Just buy a revlon. Please don’t waste your money.

There are two similar hair styling systems that have become extremely popular. A very significant differentiator, however, is that one brand is less than half the price of the other. The Shark FlexStyle Air Drying & Styling System is an incredible comparative bargain. We own several Shark appliances and have a genuine appreciation of those excellent products with their impressive performance. It was therefore an easy decision to select the Shark FlexStyle. The Shark FlexStyle (Model HD430) includes the Multi-Styling Tool, which is the core of the system to which the accessories attach for use. This power unit provides four heat settings (No Heat, Low, Medium, High), plus “Cool Shot” (No Heat while button is depressed and held) and three airflow settings (Low, Medium, High). Each of those setting levels are annunciated by small LED lamps above the Temperature Button and the Airflow Button. With a twist of the articulating barrel, it converts from a hair styling wand into a hair-blower / hairdryer. Accessory attachments include two 1 ¼” Auto-Wrap Curlers which wrap hair around them using the FlexStyle airflow. These curlers use Coanda Technology to wrap, curl and set hair. The Coanda Effect refers to an aerodynamic characteristic whereby a fast-moving jet of air “attaches” to a surface. The high velocity airflow of the FlexStyle effectively wraps hair around the curlers and maintains tension on the hair to develop a tight and even wrap. The curlers are directionally oriented, with one used for clockwise wraps and the other used for counterclockwise wraps (marked marked Left and Right, including directional arrows showing the airflow direction). Also included are two air styling brush attachments comprised of an oval brush with both smoothing bristles on the edges and detangling bristles in the center, and a paddle brush, which also has both smoothing and detangling bristles, for use in smoothing, straightening and volumizing hair. The final attachment in this package is a concentrator, for directing and concentrating the powerful airflow of the Shark FlexStyle when using it as a conventional hair-blower / dryer. All attachments securely anchor in place using a small rotation which interlocks the plastic cam pins and latches with an audible click. Attachments are quickly and easily released by the sliding Lock button. Shark also offers an optional Curl-Defining Diffuser which is sold separately for drying curly and wavy hair and enhancing curls and waves. Since hairstyles change and people choose to modify their hairstyles, the Curl Defining Diffuser should be included with the FlexStyle system. The system really should be complete and include everything necessary for user flexibility and choice, including the Diffuser. I am confident that my wife is just one of many users who really want and need the Diffuser attachment. It would also be nice if there was a case included for both storage and travel with the Shark FlexStyle System because this is quite an extensive collection of implements. The FlexStyle components really should not simply be stored loose in a drawer or cabinet, and when travelling it could be a challenge to pack the FlexStyle in a manner that prevents possible damage. If you plan on styling a shorter hair style or bangs, note that both of the Brush attachments are large. The Oval Brush measures 3 ¼” across the narrow aspect, and 3 7/8” on the wide aspect. The Paddle Brush measures 3 ½” across the bristles. My wife’s conventional, round styling brush is only 1 ¾” in diameter. It would be nice if a smaller diameter brush were included for users with short styles or bangs . The FlexStyle Multi-Styling Tool is 11 3/16” overall in the straight configuration for use with the curlers and brush attachments, which increase the overall length to about 17 ¼”. The Multi-Styling Tool weighs only 14.1 ounces (400 grams), without attachments. About 1/3 (3”-4”) below the top of the Multi-Styling Tool is an articulating joint which through an easy twist of the tool converts the straight tool into a 90° right angle tool for use with the concentrator attachment for hair-blowing / drying. The rotating hinge is locked in place until released with the Hinge Latch button immediately below the hinge. The FlexStyle Multi-Styling Tool is equipped with an exceptionally long power cord, spanning 9’. The cord is equipped with a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) for user safety (as required by law), and is apparently also protected by a fusible link. All of the connections on the power cord are equipped with robust strain relief, and at the base of the Multi-Styling Tool, the strain relief is angled and rotates freely so that the power cord is never a nuisance which impedes the use of the FlexStyle and the power cord is not likely to become twisted or tangled during use. The maximum wattage of the FlexStyle is 1300 watts, which equates to a 10.8 amp electrical load. Clearly, the Shark FlexStyle system replaces several hair styling implements and appliances, with an elegant, flexible, versatile and efficient all-in-one hair styling solution. A very significant benefit of the Shark FlexStyle is that it virtually eliminates the likelihood of damaging hair due to excessive heat, according to the manufacturer. The FlexStyle is designed to precisely monitor and regulate temperature by measuring and adjusting temperature 1,000 times per second. The FlexStyle accurately maintains temperature that is consistent, rather than widely fluctuating which can result in hair being exposed to excessively high temperatures and incurring damage, I measured the FlexStyle output at 7” from the nozzle. On the Low setting the temperature was approximately 140° F, on the Medium setting it was approximately 160° F and on the High setting the temperature measured approximately 180° F. The air velocity discharged by the FlexStyle is strong. Of course, the unit produces noise when in operation, but even at the High speed airflow setting, the motor noise of the FlexStyle was not uncomfortably loud, as some other hair-blowers typically are. My wife has used a great many hair styling tools and appliances throughout the years. She was very anxious to start using the Shark FlexStyle to determine if it would actually improve upon her hair styling tasks, reduce the effort and burden, and produce superior results. My wife reviewed the printed Shark FlexStyle Styling Guide which is included in the package, consulted the FAQs on the Shark website, and watched several Internet videos prior to using the FlexStyle for the first time. Mrs. Curmudgeon really loves the Shark FlexStyle. She has used each of the FlexStyle attachments in order to determine if the FlexStyle actually produces better results than she could achieve with her array of conventional hair styling implements, and to see if the FlexStyle would truly replace all of those individual, single-purpose tools. We are both very pleased with the results. Not only is she finding it to be easier and quicker to style her hair with the FlexStyle, but she genuinely prefers the results that she is achieving with the FlexStyle. The FlexStyle is excellent at producing curls of variable tightness without damaging her hair. Likewise, she found that, except for her bangs, both the oval brush attachment and paddle brush attachment performed their respective tasks better than when she formerly employed separate brushes and needed to use both hands (brush in one and blow-dryer in the other). This improved efficiency may likely be the result of the temperature controlled heated air being applied from inside the brush, rather than the conventional method. The FlexStyle appears to be well-built of high-quality plastic materials with a solid feel. The FlexStyle is comfortable and easy to use given the unit’s dimensions and light weight. My wife likes how comfortable and convenient it is to use the FlexStyle. The weight and balance are nice, and the control buttons for temperature and airflow are conveniently located on the handle. The only control button that is perhaps not in the most convenient location, especially for small hands, is the Cool Shot button, which is used to “set” curls and waves after using heated airflow. The distance between the Cool Shot button and the other controls ranges between 2 ½”: and 4”. My wife has found it to be a bit of a stretch to use that button, but has adapted her grip on the FlexStyle to facilitate the use of the Cool Shot button. This was just a very minor accommodation. Notably, the air intake for the powerful fan in the Multi-Styling Tool is at the base of the tool in the bottom 2” of the handle. It is important to avoid holding the implement in such a way that the user’s hand is obstructing the perforations for air intake, particularly since the control buttons are located in the bottom 2 ½”: of the handle. That perforated section of the handle covers a fine filter. The filter cover is removable and exposes the internal filter for cleaning with a toothbrush or other soft brush. The FlexStyle is covered by a 2-year warranty against manufacturer defects, however if Shark replaces the unit, a fee (disclosed in the printed warranty provisions included in the box) is assessed. Overall, we both think that the Shark FlexStyle Air Styling and Drying System is really great. It is a powerful blow-dryer for styling and hair drying. It is a flexible and innovative hair styling system which makes curling, smoothing, straightening and styling hair faster and easier than with the numerous separate, dedicated tools, and with nicer results. A big plus is eliminating the heat damage that is virtually impossible to avoid with conventional blow-dryers, curling wands and straightening irons. The Shark FlexStyle Air Styling and Drying System really does it all, does it easier and does it better!

What got me excited I have many Shark vacuums, so I’m familiar with the brand. I didn’t know that Shark even made hair dryers until I came across the Flexstyle. What I’m expecting I’m expecting this thing to be amazing considering the price tag. What’s included in the packaging? Out of the box you get the hair dryer, two curling attachments, and a brush attachment. My first impressions My first reaction upon seeing this is that this is the first hair dryer I’ve ever seen that has a power brick power adaptor. It’s also not as big as I expected. I could see this easily fitting into a weekend bag for a trip. The build qu ality is really high. The material feels like a very sturdy plastic, and everything looks well machined. Let’s try it out The Flexstyle has 3 heat settings, 3 power settings, a cool button, and the on/off button. Near the top is a button that allows you to rotate the head, creating a nice “7” shape. I’m guessing it’s better to keep it straight for the extensions, but for everyday use, I like the “7” shape. The sound is surprisingly low. On the hottest setting, it is pretty hot. The cool button changes the temperature immediately. I wish that the power and temp buttons were rockers, instead of a single button that you have to cycle through. What stood out that was positive For it’s small size, it is powerful. The noise isn’t loud, and that’s a major plus. The chord is long enough where I feel like it won’t unplug itself if I move back an extra couple of inches. What stood out that was negative The design engineering gets a ding here. The power button is located a few inches above the intake. By default, you want to just keep your hand there after turning it on, but logic says move it away so there’s a good air flow. I think either moving the intake somewhere else, maybe near the rotate button, or move the power button a bit higher would have made more sense. Some things I wish (What can be included in the next version and what I would take out) Add a power and temp rocker (Like the ones on phones), keep the power button and the air intake away from each other, and maybe make a version that’s rechargeable so you can have it unplugged. Who is this targeted at? This is targeted at everybody. A hair dryer is a modern necessity, so it makes sense to get one if you need one. All in all Shark surprised me with their Flexstyle hair dryer. The price is high for what it does, but as long as it lasts more than 5 years, I’ll say that it was worth the investment. I would definitely recommend it.

I was looking to get a quality Styling and Drying system for my daughter and got the Shark - FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System, Powerful Hair Blow Dryer and Multi-Styler. It came with Shark FlexStyle, Two 1.25 inch curlers and Brush attachment. The first thing she noticed is that how lightweight and ergonomic this system is. She mentioned multiple times that her arm never feels tired even when using it for detailed styling. The swivel feature allows the dryer to convert from a traditional blow-dryer shape to a more compact styling wand, which is extremely convenient. This device has a lot of power for its size. It dries her hair noticeably faster than the old dryer, and the airflow is strong without feeling harsh on the scalp. It has the ability to dry efficiently using lower heat settings, helping to minimize damage while still delivering quick results. After each use, my daughter's hair looks shinier, smoother, and healthier. The FlexStyle doesn’t overheat, producing far less frizz and no dryness. Even on humid days, the style holds up amazingly well for her. It truly gives that polished, salon-finish look at home. Switching between attachments is very easy, and the temperature and airflow settings are straightforward to adjust. The compact design also makes storage easy, especially for a tool with this many features. Shark FlexStyle is definitely a worth buy to get great results on styling.
