Quiet and ultra-quiet hair dryers from Velecta® Paris

The sound environment of the hairdressing salon is one of the potential hardships of the profession. Hair dryers that run almost continuously every day are likely to generate auditory fatigue that results in a whistling or buzzing sound together with stress and irritability. An ultra-quiet hair dryer is, therefore, undoubtedly an asset for safeguarding the quality time spent in a hairdressing salon – not just for the professionals working there but also for the customers who come to enjoy a pleasant moment.

Powerful, quiet hair dryers: professional but low-key quality…

A conventional hair dryer operates at approximately 80 dB - with anything higher potentially causing auditory problems in the event of continuous exposure. In a salon where hair dryers sometimes run continuously, it is especially important to choose an ultra-quiet hair dryer to preserve the quality of the working environment and ensure that customers enjoy the relaxing time they’ve come for. The Velecta® Paris dedicated range is specially designed to operate at low-noise levels without sacrificing the efficiency of the drying power: our quiet hair dryers deliver a minimum of 1300 W for a maximum noise level of 68 dBA, well below the risk threshold.

The different types of quiet hair dryer

Hair dryers fall into three broad categories based on their noise emission levels: quiet hair dryers, low-noise hair dryers and ultra-quiet hair dryers.

• Low-noise hair dryers have a volume of between 69 and 74 dBA, significantly lower than for an average hair dryer;
• Quiet hair dryers have a maximum noise level of 68 dBA, which is the same level you’d find in a classroom;
• Ultra-quiet hair dryers from Velecta® Paris have a noise level of under 68 dBA, such as the Original Silence 1.7 i model that operates at 62 dBA.
