Title: Dries hair super fast
Review: So far I’m loving this dryer. It dries my hair super fast and leaves it feeling smooth. I haven’t quite figured out how to use the one brush attachment just yet, but I love everything about the dryer. It’s a bit heavier than my last dryer, but it’s manageable.

Reviewer: The ring is absolutely beautiful. So worth the money I ordered is seven which I normally take and it’s too big. I would recommend going down a half a size.

Title: Best blow dryer
Review: This is the best blow dryer I have ever used and so much cheaper then the Dyson and much lighter to hold, not as heavy or expensive. Came with 2 different attachments.

Title: Purchased in Sept 2022 and it's dead in March 2023 with only moderate use by 1 person. READ ON!
Review: When I first purchased this blow dryer in September of 2022, I hesitated. I waited. I debated spending well over $200 on a blow dryer - I've *never* spent that kind of money on a blow dryer, not even on my salon-quality Babyliss dryer (which I was replacing). However, I LOVE Shark's vacuums and have been a loyal customer for 20 +/- years, so based on my experience with the brand, the purchaser reviews, and the promises from Shark about their advanced technology + avoiding damage to my fine hair - I was finally convinced and bought it. YAY, yes? Not. So. Fast.It hasn't lived up to the hype. Not even close.First, this thing is H-E-A-V-Y. And when I say it's heavy, I mean it's the kind of heavy that you need to keep this thing on your nightstand or under your pillow as a weapon against intruders. Be prepared for arm fatigue for the first six weeks of use. Your arms and hands will legit get tired as you're drying and styling your hair. My momma didn't raise a wimp, so I sucked it up and told myself that I was doing it for my locks. My dominant hand and arm are now a bit more toned as a result (bonus, I guess?). The second thing is that the controls for adjusting the strength, heat, and cold air blast just aren't located in intuitive places or operated by more intuitive controls, so even after several months of use, I found myself still having to interrupt my drying and styling to make changes that you'd think you'd be able to do on the fly after a little bit of use. NOPE. Thirdly, I purchased the option that included the concentrated nozzle and the drying/styling brush. I have fine hair that's on the straighter side, so this seemed like the appropriate option since I won't be using a diffuser. However, the tools suffer the same design flaws as the dryer itself - nothing is intuitive to use as far as your hands are concerned, so I'm constantly interrupting my drying and styling to just try to get the #$&+ tools to work for me. Switch sides of your hair? Okay - stop drying your hair, fiddle with the styling brush to change the direction of it, and then you have to rotate the brush around to find the right position and angle for that part of your head - and you have to do that every single time you move to a new section. Every single time. Like you, I value you my sanity, so I finally just ditched the attachment tools all together because seriously friends, life is far too short for all of that hassle. It's a battle that we time-pressed users shouldn't have to engage in when you're one handed (because you're literally holding a two-ton brick of a hair dryer with one hand while simultaneously attempting to maneuver the controls and attachments with the other), and it was resulting in wasted time that we don't have. You'd think a company like Shark would have engineered all of this to be the kind of user-friendly tool that we've come to expect from the brand. But they haven't.Lastly, and here comes the worst and most insulting part: After owning this dryer for just six months and only using it a few times a week, it's suddenly started to shut off mid-blow dry + style entirely on its own. Now, you may be asking yourself why this would happen, as I did I (though I did it with some expletives because I only blow dry and style when I have somewhere to be). I can't be certain, but it seems like the unit is overheating. My filter is clean, though TBF, there's no great way to clean it. The unit doesn't open up so you can remove a filter and clean it thoroughly like you can with every other blow dryer I've ever owned. No, with this piece of modern engineering technology, you're supposed to only use something like a soft-bristled toothbrush to attempt to clean the filter from the outside, and FWIW, mine's never seemed dirty. Regardless, I've been doing that faithfully all along since I'm so used to doing it anyway, so the only thing that I can attribute it's premature demise to is that there's some kind of hardware component failure in the guts of the beast.This does have some kind of limited two year warranty through Shark, but it will have to be sent in to be serviced, and it looks like there's a charge of around $30 for this, of which I'm entirely salty about. An appliance this costly should have a manufacturer that stands behind it fully for at least a year. Add to this that it's also created the need for me to buy ANOTHER hair dryer, because my Shark HyperAIR doesn't work, and I still need a way to dry my hair for however long it's going to take to get this one shipped to them, fixed, and returned back to me. Yes, I'm cussing again.Unfortunately for Shark, this brought about a revelation, and since I love you all so much, and let's face it, you've read my review novella so you should be compensated for that effort: I discovered a hidden gem that's right here on this site and it will save you your hard earned dollars, some swears, some unnecessary workouts, and the need for a third arm when blow drying that hopefully none of you have. It's called the Remington D3190 that is also an Ionic-Ceramic Tourmaline blow dryer. It's lightweight, user friendly, fits nicely in your hand, has a THREE YEAR limited warranty, and is under...get this...twenty dollars as I'm typing my review. It actually dries my hair faster than the HyperAIR, which I think is because without all of the messing around and wasted time with controls and attachments, it's just a more efficient tool to use. Even if the price goes up to double what it costs at the time of me leaving this review, you'll still be money ahead, with nicely styled hair, and have far less exasperation in your life. You're welcome.Now, you're probably wondering what I'm going to do with my fancy (not so fancy) Shark HyperAIR after I get it back from Shark, and even if you weren't, I'm going to tell you: I'm going to get it fixed and see if I can't sell it on Marketplace or some other site. I cannot recommend it as an appliance after my absolutely horrendous user experience, and I hope to spare some of you from the same fate. It hasn't done anything to improve the quality of my hair experience in six months, though it has given me some fits. SAVE YOURSELVES. Save your sanity. Save your dollars. (Unless you're into really expensive paperweights. Then, meh, this might be for you?

Title: Great Product! Respects My Strands
Review: As someone with naturally long, straight hair, I've always been hesitant to use hair dryers. The fear of heat damage was a constant concern. However, a friend who often battles frizziness highly recommended the Shark HD112BRN HyperAIR Ionic Hair Dryer. Intrigued, I decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did.What surprised me most about this hairdryer is its ability to style my very long, straight hair. I didn't expect a hairdryer to have the power to do much on my hair, but this one proves me wrong. It dries my hair quickly and evenly, minimizing heat exposure. The ionic technology leaves my hair looking its best.My husband, who has thicker, curlier hair, is equally impressed. He's amazed at how quickly and smoothly it dries his hair, leaving it looking neat and tidy.I highly recommend this hairdryer to anyone who wants a powerful yet gentle styling tool. The Shark HD112BRN is a fantastic choice, and I'm spreading the word to anyone who asks.

Title: Amazing for all textures of hair. Yes, I have them all on my head.
Review: My hair texture has changed through the years, it used to be wavy and bone straight. As I've gotten older, I've developed a kinky, fuzzy texture to the back of my head. I also have very fine hair, but tons of it. I've kept it in a bun to keep it under control, but that was of little help. I recently purchased this little Shark, and it's a mighty little blow dryer for its compact size. I have neck problems and having a lightweight, small hair dryer was exactly what I needed. One that I could travel with and would help me with the matts that develop in my hair. This blow dryer hasn't cured me of my hair issues, but it dries my hair so fast, I'm shocked. It helped with some of the textures I have, but this is a great hair dryer.

Title: Great at home personal use hair dryer
Review: Stylist and salon owner here. This is my at home hair dryer. It is too heavy and cumbersome to use for many hours every day at the salon. That’s where I use my very lightweight and slightly less powerful Dyson professional. However, as a person with extremely dense coarse curly hair cut into a shoulder length bob, this beast dries my whole head smoothly with the brush attachment in seven minutes!!! Unheard of. If you have decent arm/shoulder strength, or have been using heavier non professional dryers at home, this is a tremendous upgrade. And even for me, I 100% prefer this on my own hair. But much like the Dyson Airwrap, this is made ergonomically for self use.The other con to use on others is the concentrator nozzle. Not smooth enough on others. However, the brush attachment is almost flat iron smooth on self use.Hope this helps! Waaaaay better affordability, heat and power plus smoothing for at home drying. And the Curl IQ attachment (creates a vacuum tube to curl heir in a window vortex, really cool) and the diffuser alone really are amazing. Probably best diffuser out there professionally.

Title: this is not for professionals!!!!!
Review: i bought this as a salon owner and it stopped blow drying and wouldnt turn on in the middle of blow drying a client! this is not for stylist use . maybe for women who only use once a day. it was good at first but over a couple of weeks it started getting louder and didnt blow dry as quickly anymore. for only having a couple of months before it gave out was not worth the money.

Review: FINALLY something with some power. I have thick hair and basically have to wake up early because of how long it takes to dry my hair. My old dryer was supposedly "the best" according to various websites -- don't trust wattage ratings and all the other buzzwords - tourmaline, ceramic, ions, whatever. This one has the most important thing - CFM. When I first turned it on, it blew a couple of bottles off of my counter. So, yeah. Happy with my purchase.

Review: This is by far the best blow dryer I've ever owned. I have thick hair that just gets poofy and terrible looking when blow dried.This blow dryer not only dries my hair in record time, it looks and feels great when I'm done.It's a little pricey, but with the cost of all other dryers I've ever owned ,I should have just gotten this to start. I can't say anymore wonderful things. Don't think twice, buy it , you wont regret it

Review: I bought this hair dryer after taking my extensions out and feeling like I wasn't using my Dyson Airwrap much anymore because the hair dryer on it isn't very strong. The shark dries my hair in rough dries my hair in less than 5 minutes and the smoothing attachment gets my hair incredibly straight. I use a frizz fighting leave in conditioner with it and it works so well in combination. One of the best products I've purchased from Amazon yet.

Review: This is a splurge but I love it. A little heavy but I got used to it and like that the weight is well distributed. Love the attachments too.

Customers say

Customers like the drying power and attachments of the hair dryer. They mention it dries their long, thick hair quickly and can dry larger sections at a time. However, some customers have reported that the weight is ridiculously heavy and bulky. They also have issues with durability and heat level. Customers disagree on functionality, value for money, and noise level.
