Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been using the old fashioned type of hairdryer since forever and I thought it was time for an upgrade. I really like all the other shark products in my home, so I jumped on this Flexstyle. The first thing I noticed was how much less bulky this is. I love the swivel feature for better reach and different angles. It takes up so much less space for storing it and it would also be easier to travel with. I guess I would say it's quieter than a traditional hairdryer but it does operate at a higher pitch, more jet like. I like that it has a more focused stream of air and what this produces on high is quite impressive. It has 3 speeds and 3 heat settings with a cool button. Setting 2 on both seems to be my sweet spot.(be careful as is does get very hot) The diffuser brush will see the most use from me but the "curlers" are great for volume. With the blowing air wrap technology you won't get tight curls but big waves, great if you have straighter hair. The Flex styler seems to dry my hair faster, maybe due to the more focused air flow. And even the cord is nice. Good length and that more rubbery material so it doesn't get in the way as much. If your looking to upgrade your hairdryer, definitely give the shark a shot.

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

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 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 .

It was cute but it did not work the way it should have. It was definitely not worth the money.

[Employee of bestbuy] Be careful this has been made from boar. I have to return it

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.

Does not hold curl the same as a curling iron .

Loved the curls it made but it did not hold even 20 min and my daughters hair holds curls amazing

So much power compared to the Dyson. I bought this for my wife as her hands hurt most of the time & twisting a curling iron isn't feasible most days. She is thrilled at how easy this is to use & how great her curls stay for multiple days without recurling.

Unfortunately, we did not like this product. We returned it to the store.

Didn’t do anything to my hair except cause split ends!

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..

Works very well on curling hair and being a blow dryer! I like that there’s multiple attachments that are easy to switch out.

Love this! This was so much less money than the Dyson. Works great. Straightened hair, curled hair. Great shine. Powerful tool. Highly recommend.

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!

Excellent hair dryer, I recommend it 100%.. I love it.

I was so excited to get this product because I have been dreaming about a product like this but couldn't fathom the prices that were being asked for similar items. I have been a big fan of the Shark brand for many years so them getting into this "space" made this particular product even more exciting to me! I did switch to a round brush/blowdryer a while back and that was a big help... but still I needed to keep up with several products and the idea of having everything in one place was super enticing. As I was opening the box, I was imagining that in no time at all I would have super easy, super trendy waves. I have naturally curly hair and while it's not particularly thick, there's a lot of it and it holds water so blowdrying it is not my favorite thing to do, and if I want it to look sleek or have those trendy waves then I've had no choice but to use a styling iron. The first thing that I noticed, in using the system as a blowdryer, is the sheer power, it was a little louder than I expected but it was SO quick and powerful. I started off by rough drying and then used the curling wand attachments and while the instructions mention that you should dry to between 80% and 90% before using the wands, I have found that it's better for me to be on the low end of that. Now for the part that I wasn't expecting but ended up loving... I was picturing the waves that I can get from a styling iron, however, the curls that I ended up with were much more like what my mom used to get from using hot curlers all of the time. I end up with A TON of volume and it lasts and lasts, like I go to sleep and wake up with curl and body still all in my hair! I'm still playing with the different effects that I can achieve with this system, but I would HIGHLY recommend it to any one!
