Customer Reviews of Vidal Sassoon VS781 1875-Watt Professional Ionic Dryer
Customer Review: Fantastic Hairdryer
Summary: 5 Stars
I was initially put off by the reviews of this item and purchased the Ionic Hairdryer from Conair, but it was "unavailable" for so long that I deleted that order and decided to go with the Vidal Sassoon. I own another (non-Ionic) VS hairdryer and was very impressed with the quality of it, so I decided to give it a try. From the picture on Amazon, I thought that the purple (instead of metallic) color of the dryer made it look kind of cheap and flimsy, but I have nothing but good words for the dryer after using it. It has a lot of power, heat, and I have noticed a big difference in the quality of my hair. I have less fly-aways and my hair actually feels smoother, and I don't have any split ends! It's been two months since I've started using it on an almost daily basis, and I have zero complaints. The only difference I've noticed is that it takes a smidgen longer to dry, maybe 2-4 mintues, but the time is well worth the results. I highly recommend this dryer, and have had no problems with the electrical issues noted by other reviewers...I think that might have just been a "lemon."Customer Review: Hard to Handle & Miss the Old Cords
Summary: 3 Stars
All I ever buy as far as hair dryers are concerned are Vidal Sasson. Vidal Sasson has made better hair dryers than this one.This dryer does do an excellent job drying my hair, but it is bulky and the finger controls are hard to reach. I think I'm sliding the high/low switch when I'm actually sliding the Hot/Warm/Cool switch. They used to make their hairdryers with button-like switches that were easy to press and easily accessible.
I don't like the front of the dryer (where the air blows out). It's shaped like an oval which makes it difficult to hold at an angle correctly. That is what you use an attachment for.
Even the cord is not as good as I'm used to. They used to make them with excellent "spiral" cords that prevented tangling.
The only reason I bought this hair dryer is because all of the Vidal Sasson hair dryers which I have bought in the past, have been durable and reliable (long-lasting) and had easy features.
I'm considering trading this one in.
Customer Review: from the hair drying queen....:)
Summary: 4 Stars
Seriously, I know hairdryers. I blow dry my hair at least once a day, and have gone through endless amounts of hairdryers. This was the first ionic hairdryer that I have purchase as well. This dryer does dry my hair slightly quicker than other dryers, plus I can dry my hair on medium heat and low speed with the same amount of time that a normal high heat, high speed would do. It does leave my hair in slightly better condition (however this is because it is on lower heat.) But... the three heat settings are basically the same temperature (they don't vary too much...infact I can barely tell the difference) The cool shot is useless too due to the fact it is the same heat as the cool setting. but overall, if your buying it on amazon...it is a good dryer for the price your paying. Hope this helps.Customer Review: A Must-Have for Frizzy Hair!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
My hair is very thick and frizzy, especially in the front, which, let me tell you, is not very attractive. I had never been one to blow-dry my hair since it made it frizzier, but my mom bought me the ionic dryer last Christmas and I started using it. However, I didn't realize what a big difference it makes until I was at my mother's house last weekend and forgot my dryer at home. I used hers the same way I use my ionic one and my hair was a big poofball! I couldn't believe what a difference! My friend who was with me told me "I like your new haircut, except for today". LoL! The ionic dryer makes a huuuge difference! I would recommend it to anyone trying to get their hair straight with no frizz!Customer Review: Worked for almost 2 months

I purchased this blow dryer because I owned a vidal sassoon blow dryer before and it worked for many years. I did not use this blow dryer on a daily basis, so I am not sure what went wrong. But it was sounding sluggish and then started smokin'. I had thrown away my receipt because my first VS blow dryer worked for so long. I called the company and they said they will replace it if I send it to them. I am not sure if I am thrilled about using another one, but since I threw my receipt away, I guess I'll give it a try. When it did work, I liked it - that earned the first star. And because the company is willing to replace it without a receipt, I gave them a 2nd star. We'll see how it turns out.
