Great customer service

published

Loved everything about this hairdryer until it stopped working after 2 years. BUT I contacted them and sent it back to the importer and they are replacing it! Going back to using a cheapie hairdryer whilst my Parlux is out of action has made me realise just how good the Parlux is. Thanks Parlux for such great customer service!

Can’t live without it!

published

This hair dryer is lightweight, compact and powerful! It has cut my hair drying time by up to ten minutes and straightens as well so I no longer need a straightener.

Great for professional!

published

This is a great hairdryer for professional hairdressers and barbers. I've been doing hair for 10+ Years and have always used Parlux brand. And have only been through 2! They last forever and is the brand I always recommend to family and friends.

Great quality

published

Was sceptical on paying so much for a hairdryer, but it's well worth the money. Have had it for 12 months now and it's as good as day one. Very light and compact which makes it a great addition to travelling. Doesn't heat up the concentrator which has been an issue with previous hairdryers

I could never live without

Great hair dryer! I noticed that my hair dries quicker with Parlux compared to other hairdryers on the market. Also, the shape makes it easy to grip and hold. Will definitely recommend.

Love This Hair Dryer

published

This was a little present for myself and I love it! It is so nice to use and lives up to my expectations very well. It is compact and absolutely a breeze to maneuver around in the morning. Its compact so I travel with it but I like it more than the one we have at home. Really good quality hair dryer.

Parlux is the brand I am sticking with, until I can buy a Dyson

published

I switched to Parlux about three years ago and this is my second hairdryer, since my old Parlux 3800 suddenly stopped one day (only used every second day.) I like to use high fan and low heat and Parlux hairdryers do not burn my hair but dry it fast. Also good that I do not have to clean the filter like I used to with other brands. I would have liked to have bought a coloured model, not my usual black though.

Bought this as a gift for my girl friend.
She absolutely loves it, she even recommended her brother purchase his girl friend one after she used hers and loved it.

Okay... but the hype?

published

My hairdresser suggested I buy - and reading all the reviews I thought this could be worth a shot for my thick hair. It’s definitely lightweight, and the fast speed dries hair fast, but as for the amazzzzxing results everyone keeps mentioning, it’s a hairdryer, and the no frizz factor is only slightly better than my old 25 buck cheapie. It’s good, but not 195 dollars good.

Excellent

published

This is my second Parlux having bought the 385 after my old 2800 stopped working after 8 years and I have had it now for 1.5 years.

My hair is dried everyday and this is such a great hairdryer as it does not dry it out and I am sure it will last as long as my old one.

Parlux dryers are dearer than the average model you can buy at DJs or Myer but the old saying of you get what you pay applies.

Love the colour

published

I bought this is all because of the colour and it was recommended to me by a hairdresser and I can see why. I have thick wavy hair and this dryer made my hair soft and smooth without having to straighten. LOVE IT !! But i think it’s a little bit expensive so it actually depends on how much budget do u have

Very good hairdryer

published

This product is great, it is durable and fast drying. The Parlux 385 PowerLight produces a lot of heat. This hair dryer takes no time to dry your hair. Absolutely worth every penny. 10/10 product.

The Best Hairdryer I've ever owned

published

Powerful, lightweight, fast drying. The first one I owned lasted for five years and I use it every single day. I just purchased my second/exactly the same. Thoroughly recommend. In my opinion there is no better hairdryer on the market.

Lasted only 18 months

published

Purchased a Parflux 385 light 18 months ago. Plugged it in this morning and it wouldn't start. Its toast and I spent over 300.00 for it. You would think for that price it would have lasted longer than 18 months. I've been taken!!

Best dryer I have every purchased

published

It is light to hold and my hair does not take as long to dry! Since using this hair dryer over the last few moths I have noticed my hair is in better condition.

385 PowerLight

Is the PaRlux interior supposed to gradually become bright orange? I’m afraid it’s overheating or about to blow? It’s never gotten as hot as it is currently reaching to where I cannot hold the dryers body because It will burn me.

I wish someone at Parlux would address this. I bought mine two years ago and it’s doing this exact thing. It’s bright orange inside now I can only use medium heat on high to get a decent blowout. It also destroyed my YSPark diffuser with how hot it gets!!! I’m afraid it’s goibg to explode on me. My co workers parlux once blew up on him while styling a client. Flames actually came out the front luckily it was a long time client of his I’m afraid mine is going to do the same. I love my parlux but they’re proving they o Ky last two years and I don’t feel that’s what a hairstylist wants to purchase every other year

385 PowerLight

What is the best setting to dry short fine hair to create a style full of volume but not frizz. I find the 2 switches very confusing. I first like to 'rough dry' my hair, fast flow heat, then to style, medium flow heat, but often the temperature feels too hot and potentially damaging. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My hair is very thick, I use the highest setting because my hair is so thick and coarse, it does get very hot but it smooths my frizz better. Never use the high setting on fine hair even the medium setting can get very hot. I would definitely use the lowest setting with full power for your hair, you could potentially damage your hair on a higher heat setting. I don't know much about the settings really or hair but there is a customer service phone number you can call
1800 251 215 not sure if they will be much help but it's worth a shot. Good luck :)
