Before buying a professional hair dryer, you should take several criteria into account to ensure that your appliance gives you complete satisfaction and meets your needs. Usability, power and design are just some of the things you should consider.
CHOOSE A HAIR DRYER WITH THE RIGHT POWER FOR YOU
It all depends on what you prefer. Choosing an appliance with a power not exceeding 1700 or 1800W will ensure gentle drying, and protect the health of fine, fragile hair. On the other hand, choosing a hair dryer with power in excess of 2000W will save on drying time.
Please note: the best professional hair dryers offer multiple speeds to regulate airflow. This helps you adapt the drying process according to specific hair type constraints and the time you have available.
You will also find hair that some hair dryers offer temperature control. You can use variations in temperature to give hair volume while making blow-drying easier, or to set the shape of the hair while boosting shine.
USABILITY OF A PROFESSIONAL HAIR DRYER
A poor quality hair dryer that’s too heavy or unwieldy can cause musculoskeletal problems for professional stylists. To avoid this, give careful consideration to hair dryer ergonomics. A professional hairdresser knows which factors are most important... but here are some essential reminders.
For optimal comfort of use, we recommend choosing a lightweight professional hair dryer (less than 600 g).
An ergonomic handle will give you the best grip, and is something that all Velecta Paris professional hair dryers have.
Quiet hair dryers will also increase your well-being and that of your customers, so it’s best to opt for an appliance that does not exceed 70 dba.
Finally, you should choose hair dryers with a long enough cord to allow you more freedom of movement.
A HAIR DRYER MADE IN FRANCE FOR YOUR HAIR SALON
It is important that you consider the quality of a professional hair dryer before making your choice. French materials, components and know-how are a guarantee of quality.
When you choose an 100% French product such as a Velecta Paris professional hair dryer, you are choosing an innovative and eco-responsible appliance with cutting-edge technology and a long service life.
PREFER A SMART HAIR DRYER
If you’re looking for a model that will respect your hair, Velecta Paris has now released its first connected hair dryer. You can pair the i-flex professional hair dryer with an app on IOS or Android to then control temperature, drying speed and ionisation, thus creating your own personalised profile for customised hair drying.
HAIR DRYER ACCESSORIES
Don’t neglect your accessories – they are a real plus and provide an additional service for customers.
A professional salon hair dryer should have a nozzle, used primarily for blow-drying, and a diffuser, for drying curls. Magnetic nozzles (very easy to change) and cooling nozzles (to avoid hair damage) are also particularly useful.
The most essential considerations before purchasing a professional hair dryer are still power, weight, decibels, options and accessories. Additional important criteria include a digital motor indicating lifetime, a compact size, usability and the presence of a cool shot option to make hairdressers’ work easier.
