This is the only hairdryer that works to style my fine, limp hair, & I'm frustrated that more hairdryers are not modeled after this one. I have not seen one in stores for years, so it was great to find it available online.

I still prefer the shape of this kind of hair dryer to get the look I want. This model works perfectly.

This review is from: Vidal Sassoon VS540 Professional Styling Hair Dryer 1875 watts of power, dual voltage for worldwide use (Health and Beauty)

I've been using Vidal Sassoon hair dryers for as long as I can remember. They last for years and years and dry hair without blowing your entire head off - which is my biggest peeve with most high wattage hair dryers. There's something about the shape of this particular dryer that helps distribute heat evently without causing damage. So when my old reliable VS died - I went looking for the exact same version and shape - but was not quite lucky. Intense research led me to this one (a new and improved version I guess - same shape and all - but lighter and a tad narrower) I went ahead and bought it. It lives up to its predecessor for the most part. It falls short in several respects:
1. Does not dry my hair as quickly as the other one did but is still adequately fast (as I'm often short for time)
2. Has the most screeching, high pitched sound I have ever heard in a blow-dryer. While not a deal breaker - it took some time getting used to the sound. About 1 month into it I've gotten used to the noise level and am happy with my purchase.

I don't use the brushes - so I can't speak to their effectiveness - but I certainly would buy this hair dryer again, given the choice. It's lightweight, does the job and is a Vidal Sassoon, a brand I consider to be good quality and reliable.
