As Black Friday looms, many hair care enthusiasts are on the hunt for a bargain on popular Dyson and Shark bouncy blow dry tools, or looking to add them to their Christmas gift list. These hair tools offer salon-like styles from the comfort of home, but shoppers are now turning to a new tool for a similar look at a lower price.
Dyson and Shark have recently kicked off their 2024 Black Friday sales, featuring products like the AirWrap and FlexStyle tools. However, with these items still costing hundreds of pounds each, the Mirror has discovered a budget-friendly alternative.
Some customers are opting for the Eclat Skin London Brush over the £479.99 Dyson AirWrap. For instance, one shopper who “wanted a Dyson AirWrap but couldn’t justify £400”, purchased the hair dryer, styling and volumizing brush from the Debenhams 70 percent Black Friday sale.
Now priced at £33.99 on Debenhams’ wesbite, down from its usual £149. Dubbed as the “ultimate tool to achieve salon-quality hair at home”, it’s the latest in a line of beauty appliances added to the Debenhams sale, as demand increases ahead of Black Friday and Christmas.
The versatile brush is said to transform frizzy hair into sleek and smooth locks, while simultaneously drying and adding volume. The bristles are made of ceramic, allowing users to gently glide the brush through their hair without tension, helping to reduce frizz.
Its round brush shape also helps create lift at the roots, resulting in added volume.
The tool utilises Ionic Technology to deliver a sleek and glossy finish to hair, emitting negative ions that help neutralise static and frizz. It may not rival Dyson’s Coanda effect in the AirWrap, but it’s a more affordable alternative for those unable to spend hundreds.
One satisfied customer exclaimed: “Best hairdryer I have ever had. I even prefer it to my Dyson. Gives a great body without being over the top. Nice bounce and body.”
Another said: “Absolute game changer. Like it so much I have bought another for a family member for her birthday”, and a recent Debenhams shopper praised the lift it added to their hair. Awarding it five stars for quality and value, they noted it “the product gives lovely volume” to their locks.
A third buyer commented: “I love this, it tames my wavy hair really well and doesn’t dry it out. The only downside is the lead is not very long.”
As highlighted, one drawback mentioned by another user is the shorter cord length, something for potential buyers to consider. A one star reviewer said: “The cord is really short and it over heats and cuts out.”
For those eyeing a bargain on a high-end Dyson styler, the biggest Black Friday discount currently is on the Corrale Straightener, with £100 slashed off its price.
Meanwhile, Shark’s FlexSyle has been reduced by £80, now priced at £219.99.
