I purchased this hairdryer to replace my previous Parlux that had given me at least 8 years of service before the motor gave out. I bought this model because it is recyclable and that is really important to me.
Love that it is recyclable

verified purchaserI recently purchased this hair dryer after my old hair dryer seemed to be damaging my hair and not really helping me style my hair.
the Parlux 3800 has been really good to my hair, there is a significant different on how my hair looks and feels. I am thrilled i have bought this hair dryer. I also bought the diffuser which is amazing on my crazy curls.A must have!
My hairdresser recommended this dryer and it exceeds my expectations. A visible difference from my previous blowdryer. Great heat and smooth result!So glad I purchased this!
verified purchaserI had been looking to replace my old hairdryer for a little while and saw that Adore had these on sale. I'm so happy that I chose this one as it is miles above any other hairdryer I've tried. It's super lightweight, dries my hair so quickly and leaves it smooth and shiny. Knowing how great it is, I would purchase it at full price!Best hairdryer on the market
verified purchaserI purchased this hairdryer to replace my 10+ year old Parlux.
It is light to use - I can blow dry my hair in under 10 minutes and it always comes out nice and smooth.
You won't be disappointed!Best ever
This blowdryer is the best ever. Great airflow, great heat and beautiful polish to my hair when blowdrying it.Excellent
Amazing blowdryer. My hair is dry so quickly and remains full of shine.best hairdryer
There is a good reason why professional hair dressers use this brand of hair dryer. This is a class above the basic hair dryers in most shops. Once you dry your hair with a Parlux you realise there is no other way to effectively do this.
The quality of this hair dryer is well worth the purchase price.Beautiful hairdryer!
I have this in the pretty purple colour. The difference in quality between this and my older cheap Remington is just astounding. This is noisier, but does the job in less than half the time and somehow makes my hair smooth! The various attachments you can get are fantastic too!Can’t go wrong
This is by far the best hair dryer out!! The hair salon I go to also uses these. I have had mine for years and it is still going strong even after flat out use.Best investment, you won't regret it
People always ask, what is the difference between a cheap hairdryer and a good one? I always say, you won't know until you try! I purchased a Parlux 3800 around 8/9 years ago and it is still going strong. It makes my hair so smooth in such a short amount of time, I use a Dyson at the gym and prefer my Parlux. I purchased one for my mum recently because she loved using mine so much. You will NOT re...Read MoreStraight out of a salon.
I was recommended this hairdryer by my hairstylist after getting bangs, and it has been a god-send. It makes styling my bangs so easy, and it is the first proper hairdryer I have owned - no regrets!Great sturdy hairdryer
bought this on the recommendation of friends and my hairdresser after my cheap hairdryer died. definitely heavier than my cheaper one but way more powerful and doesn't get hot to touch. dried my hair beautifully.Wish I'd bought this sooner
I have thick, curly hair that needs to be styled to tame it. I had resorted to air drying then straightening it after every wash because drying it with my old hairdryer left it fluffy, frizzy and still a little damp. Then my hairdresser recommended this dryer to me - what a change! Now I can blowdry my hair without needing to straighten it as it is left smooth and shiny. My drying time has been cu...Read MoreHighly recommended
I bought this to replace my old Parlux, which was 24 years old and still blowing, albeit not as well as it used to.
This dryer seems to have the same great quality as my old one. It dries my long hair in under 10 minutes. If I use a round brush, my hair is perfectly smooth, but if I am in a hurry, I can even get a nice look just by using my fingers. It really does seem to reduce frizz...Read Morebest on the market
my last parlux lasted 12 years! An excellent hairdryer, variable settings and gives a great blow-dry finishAmazing hair dryer
I've owned this hairdryer for over 5 years and it's still going strong. It's quality made, nice and light, powerful, easy to use controls but still nicely adjustable. I have fine medium hair and it doesn't damage it.
I love it so much I've recently gifted one to my mother in law - who also loves it!Great for long very thick hair
Cut my drying time in half which is a huge deal when you have extremely thick and long hair! Well worth the money spentWORTH THE HIGHER PRICE TAG
THIS IS MY SECOND PARLUX (THE FIRST LASTED ME ABOUT 3 YEARS AND WAS STILL GOING STRONG)
THE BEST HAIR DRYERS!
I JUST BROUGHT THIS ONE IN TURQUOISE AND IT HAS CUT MY DRYING TIME IN HALF.
WILL CONTINUE USING THIS BRAND ALWAYS.Best hair dryer ever
This is by far the best hair dryer out!! My hair salon I go to also uses these! I have had mine for years and it is still going strong even after flat out use..Best thing ever
I can’t believe I wasn’t using this earlier.
I had a 6 year old hairdryer that was damaging my hair more than anything. Couldn’t blow dry or style.
This Parlux has SAVED my hair. It’s left shiny and sleek instead of frizzy and dry.
It has shortened my drying and straightening time and made my hair look and feel healthier.I should have bought this earlier
I stubbornly refused to have a hairdryer at all until I realised I couldn't keep turning up to work with wet hair.
Fears of ruined hair and spending ages trying to get it dry were unfounded once I got my Parlux.
If you are more sensible you will get some heat protecting spray - I am not using one and my hair has come through almost unscathed.
The Parlux is ...Read MoreThe perfect hair dryer
I was given this years and years and yeeeeears ago and swear by it. It’s salon quality and just has such good power, it dries hair so quickly. It isn’t too bulky or heavy. So long lasting and hard wearing. It’s expensive when you can go buy a cheap hairdryer for under $100 but is literally worth every cent.Love it.
I bit the bullet and upgraded to a Parlux from my old cheaper brand dryer, and can't imagine ever buying another brand again. It's powerful enough to quickly dry and style my hair with a much better finished result than with my previous dryers. I also love the nice, long power cord and pretty colours.Glad I spent the money
First time buying an expensive hair dryer. My hair dresser uses Parlux dryers so I trusted them. And after reading all the 5 Star reviews I decided to bite the bullet and spend the cash on an expensive dryer! Definitely worth it, dries hair quicker as I have long thick hair it cuts down my drying time!Best of the best
I’ve owned my parlux for about 7 years and it’s still going strong with almost daily use! It’s the best hair dryer I’ve ever ownedSerious power
Many years ago my hairdresser told me that Parlux is the only brand she'd use in her salon so I decided to spend the money on a 'grown up' hairdryer. I then owned it for several years before replacing it recently with the Dyson Supersonic.
The first thing I noticed is that it has some serious power - actually has more flow through through than the Dyson. I have fine hair and it could blast m...Read MoreWould give it 5+ Stars
I would never ever buy any other hairdryer!
My hair is really thick so takes forever to dry but with this it is such an ease!
It's nice and lightweight so I can hold it easily, and its a great size for travelling.
Worth the price, even though they're reasonable - I've had mine for 4 years now!Best on Ground
I don't go through many hairdryers, so I feel it's hard for me to be objective in this review. Before buying the parlux I had a cheapie VS Hairdryer from KMart that lasted about 8 years before it finally carked it.
I decided to fork out a bit extra for a "proper" hairdryer, and this seemed like a reliable way to go.
I have super super fine hair, and it takes all of 5 min...Read Morebest hairdryer going round
I have been using this hairdryer for years and it is by far the best hairdryer on the market. I have curlier hair and this hairdryer has cut my straightening time in half. Definitely worth it!quick and effortless
lightweight hair dryer , but very powerful and quick.Best Hairdryer
Recently purchased this bad boy to replace my very old and cheap hairdryer, and I couldn't have made a better decision. It doesn't dry out my hair and it makes it much more manageable (I have short hair that doesn't enjoy being told what to do). Worth every cent.The best dryer
This dryer replaced a 20 year old parlux that was still working. I bought this for it's lightness and compact size. So powerful but perfect enough for travel. Thick asian hair dries in 5 minutes.The best hair dryer
Parlux is the best hair dryer I've ever used in my life. Great power and size and good! Surprised me....my hair thank you! It's 4 temperature.Best blow dryer
Amazing! Dries thick hair quickly and leaves hair feeling smooth.Quick drying time
I have curly hair that I blow out and straighten most days - I love ionic technology and it drys my hair in 10 minutes max instead of 30-40 minutes. Great hairdryer and worth the cash.The switches are not out to get you
I read a review before i bought this product saying the switches are a con and havent stopped laughing about it since. I know switches can be a complex balance of pulleys and levers so I thought I should keep everyone updated.
Nobody panick. This holy grail hairdryer was delivered with the switches already on.
Phew. Hope this helps a few people.Excellent and efficient
I have fine hair which is prone to fly-aways. I’ve found this dryer to be excellent and I believe my hair is smoother. The switches are easy to operate with one hand and it is nice and light to hold. I chose classic black and it looks great in the bathroom. Excellent quality for a reasonable price.Game changer
This hairdryer is fantastic - it drys my hair incredibly fast which cuts down on styling time. I'll never use a different brand after trying this!Quality product for professionals... confusing for first time buyer!
Pros
- does the job
- four settings
- relatively quiet
Cons (perhaps these are only cons for beginners)
- quite heavy so difficult for me to practice styling
- i didn't understand the switches because this is my first hairdryer. (i thought the product was faulty because no air came out when I flipped the red switch to MED. I didn't realise the blue switc...Read MoreA Quality Product
I had my old Parlux for 12 years! Quality lasts, I have fine hair that tends to kink and frizz however my Parlux hairdryer put an end to this problem my hair now thankfully stays straight and smooth and its condition has really improved, I was a little dubious with my first purchase as I thought it was a little pricey but now know it was well worth the extra expense so did not hesitate when a rep...Read MoreWhy did I not buy one of these years ago...
As someone who lives in humid Sydney with semi-curly (read: feral and frizzy) hair, pre-this hairdryer my morning routine involved blow drying then straightening my hair. Fortunately given my old hairdryer blew up - this is my routine no longer! Not only is it much quicker, my hair is now much smoother and healthier-feeling. Its definitely worth it - I wish I had of bought one of these years ago.Impressed? Yep. Blown away? ABSOLUTELY!
When my 12 year old Wahl hairdryer died, I felt a little lost, as is always the way when you are so attached to something. I googled hairdryers and asked friends lots of questions before settling on this one. Turns out I have been missing out all these years, I had no idea things had improved so much. Ceramic, ionic, eco friendly ... it's just a hairdryer! Or so I thought. My long thick hair ...Read MoreMakes doing your Do a breeze!
I had been holding off getting a new hair drier for years - I have had an old Parlux since I was about 15 and it was still going strong. However I knew that it was probably singeing my hair a little and it was so heavy I avoided using it to dry my whole head (thus living with my messy wave day in day out). I saw the new 3800 on Adore Beauty for such a good price I thought what the hell! Well, have...Read Moresalon professional
I used to think I was seriously unco at styling my hair, but now, after buying the parlux, I realise it was my hairdryer that was unco not me! I was always so frustrated that I couldn't seem to achieve the same sleek and smooth style that a professional hairstylist could, no matter how intently I observed their craft I just couldn't achieve the same result at home. That was until I bought the Parl...Read MoreBest Blow Dry Ever!
OMG, for 43 years I've had bad hair days, and then the Parlux 3800 arrived and my bad hair days disappeared. Seriously, I have a lot of flyaway mildly wavy hair that needs a good straight blow dry to make it look any good. My old hairdryer (which I've had for 10 years) I realise now was crap. The Parlux has good temperature and blow, great directional nozzles so that I could actually glide it down...Read MoreQuick-drying but not that quiet!
This hairdryer is fabulous! It dries my thick hair in half the time of my old dryer and doesn''t scorch it as much as other dryers can. The only drawbacks are that it''s not that attractive-looking and it isn''t as quiet as the manufacturers would like to have you think.
