What is a refurbished appliance?

• Velecta® Paris « refurbished » hair dryers and straighteners are products that may have been used briefly by customers, used as display models, and may have slight imperfections. They are repaired perfectly if necessary and reconditioned, thus helping to reduce waste and give them a second life. It's both environmentally friendly and cost-effective for you.

• Velecta® Paris « refurbished » products go through an extremely rigorous reconditioning process : they are carefully inspected, cleaned and tested in order to check their functionality, safety, quality and cleanliness. Although signs of use may be present, this does not affect their performance or safety. We carry out tests to ensure that they meet our quality and performance standard. Any imperfections you may notice are purely cosmetic : micro-scratches, light scratches or marks, for example.

Choosing a refurbished hairdryer : a sustainable choice for the planet.

Waste reduction

Every year, far too many hair dryers are thrown away, even if they're still functional or easily repairable. By reconditioning them, we can extend their lifespan and reduce the amount of waste they produce. A simple act of responsible purchasing can have a significant impact on the health of our planet.

Fewer resources consumed

Producing a new device requires natural resources: metal extraction, plastic injection using petroleum-based resources, water and energy consumption. Refurbishing saves these resources by giving a second life to existing appliances. It's a circular economy approach that avoids waste and optimizes what has already been produced.

Less CO₂ emissions

The carbon footprint of a refurbished appliance is much lower than that of a new product. This is due to the absence of heavy industrial processes involved in manufacturing. Less extraction, less transport, less energy used to produce the parts - all factors that contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Choosing refurbished products therefore also means taking concrete action against climate change.
