"All clients have different hair types, different needs and different budgets. A variety of dryers allow a salon to meet those different needs and budgets, and create a retail opportunity." Whether stylists are looking for one, all-around dryer or a few top tools to stock in their salons, Roberts says these are the top three features a beauty professional should look for in a blow-dryer. 1. Power (airflow). At the end of the day, your dryer has to deliver gorgeous, speedy results. A dryer that's built to perform should be the No. 1 feature on the checklist. 2. Even and consistent heat control. Dryers that allow them to focus heat where they need it are excellent for precise styling. No matter its settings, temperature should be reliable and even. 3. Longevity of performance. They need a tool in their arsenal that is built to last. If they can find a dryer with added design features like lightweight and quiet power, they're sure to snatch it up.
