Farouk CHI Professional 1300-watt Ionic Hair Dryer

I had wanted a good, commercial quality blowdryer forever. My hairdresser has a CHI and swears by their products. It is very quiet and seemed well made. I have thick, naturally curly hair that I blow dry straight and the dryer did the trick well for a couple of weeks. But after only 15 or so uses, the dryer started blowing nothing but cold air. I live in the Rocky Mtns at an elevation of 8,000 plus and like to dry my hair with WARM air! It's got to go back. Overstock as usual is a DREAM to deal with. I was worried because my order date was just over 30 days but since it took about a week to get to me, I haven't had it the full 30 days. They emailed me a pre-paid return label and I anticipate a full refund. The reviews on the product are great....perhaps I just got a rare lemon.

The only reason i didn't give it a 5 stars it was because i was expecting another extra speed, however the way it is, it is just perfect, it dries my hair in a matter of 10 minutes, before I was spending 25 minutes to have it dry. My hair is soft and shinny.

I love this hair dryer. It's just what I needed. Expensive, yes, but should last for years. I'm used to high-power dryers that boast serious wattage (like 1850), but came to realize (after several years of fighting tangly hair) that the high-power hair dryers actually create more tangles, and make it harder to manage hair. And they don't necessarily dry your hair anymore efficiently -- they just blow it around a lot. What I needed was a high-heat, low-power dryer, which is what this is. In other words, air flow is softer and quieter, but good heat gets the job done quickly, and leaves my hair manageable. Also not *too* hot as some of the more high-end dryers are.

My daughter was thrilled to get this for college. Works great. Very timely shipping
