Many appreciate its lightweight design, power, and included attachments, making it ideal for travel. The noise level and compact design are also well-received. A minor concern is the cord, which some find adds to the overall weight.

Posted .Hi Joseph,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that the unit overheated right out of the box and that the exchange process with Best Buy added to your frustration.

If you still have the unit, we’d really like the opportunity to help. Please contact our customer service team at 1‑855‑427‑5127, available Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, and we’ll do everything we can to make this right.

Good, fast, but not cheap
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Meh
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Super efficient and quiet hair dryer
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great, Light Weight Hair Dryer
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Well built, professional like hair dryer system
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
