This seems very bias towards the Dyson from the onset. We can literally see how the Dyson isn’t grabbing the hair as well as the Shark and yet the review seems to be stating otherwise?!
literally exactly what i was thinking. the only real issue i see is the loudness, and the looseness of the tools. other than that, it almost seems better than the dyson. she also made the comment of how her ear was red on the right side but said nothing when it came to the dyson, which if you look, IS ALSO RED. she's just really bias.
I love my Dyson Airwrap(new version) but I think the Shark one is an amazing alternative. I’m sure it will improve with time just like Dyson has. I hope Dyson starts to reconsider their pricing thanks to their competition. It is extremely overpriced.

This was the first launch with Shark. They will make things better depending on the customer reviews/ complaints. The dyson had to do the samething. Because obviously the dyson had more negative complaints when it first launched and they had to change multiple things. The price difference already makes shark better in my opinion.
You’re right! I’ve been saving for the shark flex style but it’s been out for a while. I might as well just wait for their next launch with improvements
shark only needs to copy dyson again for improvements then it will be perfect 😂 dyson ofc had more negative cm when first launched because it's totally new; it's a totally new idea on how to do hair, it's not a replicating product
Normalise this normalise that, like it all depends on the budget you have… if you wanna spend the money then do so I don’t see an issue with it. There’s nothing to normalise here except the fact that everyone can get whatever they want without others judgement 🙄
Honestly I thought the same thing but if you break down the cost of each tool that comes with it you aren’t spending that much more over all then if you bought those tools individually
No one is telling anyone to buy anything. People are generally curious about the difference, especially since the Dyson is hyped. There is nothing wrong with comparing them. It is then up to the person watching how they choose to spend their money since everyone’s situation is different.
People who already own the Dyson feel the need to justify their purchase by saying it works so much better. Differences like the button placement or the attachments are just that… differences. It’s also less than half the price and does an amazing job, I personally think it wraps better and easier around the barrels. Is Dyson better, or do you think you’re better bc you spent $600+ on a BLOWDRYER?
That's exactly what I was thinking. Did you see the struggle with the Dyson trying to get the hair wrapped? It definitely didn't have as much power as the shark and that difference alone proves the shark is better.
I had to think twice about spending $300 on the shark! That’s still a significant amount of money. But I was shocked at how well my almost waist length hair wrapped around the barrel. So easy. And as far as the wobbly attachment goes… I literally went and tested that and it doesn’t happen with mine. Just such minute details that people are picking apart
I have the Shark dryer, and I love it ! Paid 175 at Costco. I had been contemplating getting the Dyson for quite a while, but so glad I saved over 200.00.
I’ve recently just broken the best curler I ever had. It was originally and £6 from Argos YEARS ago and kept my hair curled for 2 days! Was gutted when I forgot to turn it off and melted the heat protection cover to it and now they don’t make it anymore. Got a Treseme replacement which is doing pretty well and under £30 though probably much more damaging than these hair dryer tools.
I absolutely love my Dyson, even if I don’t want the curls, using the other attachments gives me this Salon blowout look. I am not regretting spending the money. But I am glad they made a more affordable version and it seems like Shark is holding up pretty good against the Dyson.
I feel the same way! I purchased the new dyson and I don’t regret it. My hair hair is fairly damaged from being platinum blonde so the higher heat on the Shark isn’t a good match right now. I hope the Shark improves and forces Dyson to reconsider their price.
I love my Dyson and I feel it worth every penny. The quality, the built and my life is just so much easier with it. I’m glad the shark is a cheaper alternative and my mom now has one. However I wish the shark or any future brand would come out with a little bit more affordable price. Almost $300 is still very expensive.
I have been waiting for a cheaper option that is actually of quality. I just can't justify the price point on the dyson for myself, personally. Both results look great to me. I think im going to end up buying the shark for myself.
Shark looks so much better IMO I personally don’t like a tight curl and all that extra fancier stuff is what you pay for the Dyson like the case that is one expensive case if you think about it
I think you are always partial to Dyson. I have the Shark and love it and it's half the price of the Dyson. I had a Dyson that never worked right. I think the Shark is better!
@@Just_a_Mom53 if you watched her current favorites she is in love with $5 eyeliners and brow pencils. Not always high end. And you tend to get what you pay pay, usually, certainly not all the time.
@@Aphrodite01 I disagree! As I said, I had a Dyson that was a piece of crap. I paid $500 for a fancy box. Threw the Dyson in the garbage and now have my Shark in that box. The Dyson never worked right. The Sharp works great and only cost $249!
I have both. The Shark has more power and the curling barrels on the Shark definitely work better. Curls are way more long lasting. But the oval brush on the Shark is a bit rough on my fine thinning hair. The boar's bristles pull out hair. No one is mentioning that the Dyson has the coanda effect on the smoothing brush as well. Shark only uses the coanda effect on its barrels. The Dyson smoothing brush is magical. So sadly, I keep both plugged in and ready to use and hope one of these companies comes up with a complete solution.
@@ChantalAngeles_ Oh but it is! I was determined to return one. It's super cumbersome to keep both and not at all practical. I've resolved myself to using the Dyson daily for its gentle handling of my hair regularly and keep the Shark for the curling barrels to use for special occasions. Nothing beats those Shark curling barrels.
Thank you for comparing them !! I’m a single mom with a 15yr old daughter who styles her hair everyday- the price point alone is a selling factor for the Shark system …. Can’t wait to try it!
As someone with Asian hair, I wouldn’t buy these because even with regular curler by few hours my hair just goes flat even with products haha I would love to test them but not worth the price for me.
I wanna say that these tools aren’t designed the way people think. As a biomed engineering students, product development for the beauty industry aren’t that serious. The dyson “technology” isn’t that ground breaking. It’s a temperature sensor programmed to regulated the air flow to stay in between 2 variables. As for the differences for the design like the control bottins being at the bottom, it’s probably because they are trying to not get sued. 8 differences in the physical product need to be visibly observed for shark to be safe. I can spot colour, button position, number of button, number of settings, size of the tools and the number of attachements.
I tried the dyson yestetday night, was standing for 50 mins trying all the tips, with mousse and spray and not touching the curles and cold shots and rapping it till the roots, went to sleep with tight curles and woke up this morning with straight hair, no curles or wavinesd what so ever...
I find it weird that the options in the us are different from the uk. Here we can only buy the shark as one set bundle and it comes with a case, the filter is also not removable on the base of the handle. The Dyson set up seems to be similar both sides of the pond though
I just got my Shark and so far I’m very happy with it! I won’t notice the small differences between shark and dyson because I’ve only seen the dyson at my salon and I’m perfectly fine with that 😊
I dont have either of the tools and yes the Shark price is better but I think we are forgetting all the years Dyson spent working on this technology, when Shark is just taking their idea and making a copy of it. Obviously the original one is gonna me more expensive. And to me the Dyson side looked better lol. We all love dupes but facts are facts
No hate, but Dyson didn’t actually develop the technology. Coanda tech has been used for decades in other countries, dyson was just the first to use it in the US
Honestly I'm just glad Dyson doesn't have a monopoly on the market anymore. Sally Beauty also just dropped their own version at a jaw dropping 150 bucks BUT it only has barrels, no other attachments.
I think you prefer dyson because you have a contract with them. For Real people like me shark is a best option because is less expensive and you can have same results. I tried dyson and I don’t like it.
Yes! I'm so excited. Honestly for me the $600 price was always to absurd in entertaining the thought of ever ACTUALLY getting i mean over DOUBLE my car payment for a hair dryer!? Nah but the 250 price is much more comparable I feel for this kind of dryer. Obviously dyson was the only one on the market to have this kind of technology so they could charge whatever they want with no competition. But now they have REAL competition. And just like dyson did they will make improvements and uprage it as needed after listening to customer feedback. And honestly I like shark products over dyson. I bought a dyson vaccume for like 400ish crapped out after 1.5 years with mostly hard floor use my shark is a BEAST AT 230 more suction more durable, longer laster better on carpet and on upholstery. And is going on 2 years like it's brand new.
Great comparison. I love my Dyson Airwrap, but I’m happy to see a more affordable option in the market. Shark looks good from the price point, but I love the sleekness and ease of use in Dyson and it really makes the hair feel much healthier in the long term. I find it holds the style for days on my hair and my hair grew a lot faster and looks healthier. I prefer Dyson for the quietness alone, as 25% higher dB is a huge difference and it irretrievably damages the ears at such a close range. I hope Shark 2.0 refines its snags, especially the attachments and the loudness.
You lift more and put more shoulder strain with the dyson, I noticed. That, in the long run, you will start to feel. That's why you like the pivoting angle of the shark
I own the Dyson, yes I had to save up but I am really happy with it. The heat does not damage my hair and I would not like the curls falling out so fast with the shark. I completely understand that some people can’t afford the Dyson.
The Shark in the UK comes with all 5 attachments, and also a black fabric case and the colour is black and rose gold… I don’t know why those differences but check it out.
I bet shark will release more attachments. It took dyson a little while to do that after their first release, but since shark is obviously trying to dupe, I bet they are already in the works. I definitely will be picking up the shark because even if it has a few flaws, for less than half the price it is a no brainer. Also on other things like vacuums I prefer shark to dyson so I trust the company
Ladies, are we really pretending that it's ok to pay this sort of money, for a curl that barely makes it past lunchtime?? I can get heatless curls to last until I wash my hair, and an old Remington wand that is half the time and $20, with curls or waves that last days, even sleeping on it... Until Dyson OR Shark sort out their longevity issue, they can't have my money!!
I’m going to hold off and get the Shark 2.0 It seems like a running theme after the initial launch brand’s release a slightly updated version. Hopefully they will listen to feedback and move the buttons
The curls are so beautiful! My birthday is in December so I told my husband if you get me ANYTHING please let it be the Shark! Lol. So hopefully it's under my tree or at my birthday dinner lol
Based on reviews I have seen, it seems Dyson is slightly better. However, just on the price alone, I think I would get a Shark. I find Dyson's products excessively expensive....
I agree. I think the Dyson one seems a little bit more high-end and thoughtfully designed, but the Shark costs 55% less than the Dyson, and the performance is probably only about 10% worse.
@@Galworld761 I agree Companies should get a good return on their investment but charging $500 for a hair tool is beyond excessive and in my opinion, greedy.... We also had a Dyson vacuum, and it broke down after a few years. Maybe we got a bad one but regardless, we certainly didn't think we got our money's worth.... And personally, I don't want a vacuum cleaner that is 20 years old because even if the vacuum is good, it probably won't compare to newer vacuum cleaners with updated features and updates..... Anyway, everyone is entitled to their opinion. We will agree to disagree.
@@parissinclair6513 Interesting. Based on the reviews I've seen (Ive seen a lot because trying to decide which to get for xmas lol) the Shark styler does the same thing if not better than the Dyson (it's more powerful, can go hotter and twists to the 90 degree angle, curls last longer etc). The only issue I've seen is where the buttons are on the Shark. The Dyson had issues when it first released and Shark have only just released their product. Based on my experience too Shark products last longer than Dyson products. It seems you get the same results with both which to me personally does not justify spending twice the amount of money on a Dyson.
@@eleanorlinsley169 that seems like a deal breaker though, especially for people who have damaged or colored hair. They want something not as powerful & not as hot.
Sound is measured in decibels, which is on a logarithmic scale. So the shark may be 25% dB louder, but that the actual sound is way louder. An increase by 10 dB means that the sound is 10 times louder. An increase of 20 dB means that the sound is 100 times louder.
It bothers me a bit that shark showed better hold of the hair and better ergonomics, and still you said otherwise. Your review sounds biased towards Dyson, I almost feel they paid you to support Dyson
Awesome review!! Needed this to make sure I bought the right one for my wife and the shark sounded much better especially for the heat settings. She does have thicker hair and you mentioning that extra heat is better for that, IM SOLD! Again, Awesome review!! Happy holidays! ❤️
For half the price I can definitely live without a case (just another item to figure out where to store it anyway) and it being 25% louder. I’ve had it a couple of weeks and am enjoying it so far!
As a professional hair stylist, I would never purchase an expensive blow dryers. But they would All the last up to a year and 1⁄2. I bought the Dyson about 3 years ago and it is still going strong. I notice the difference on my clients hair. I especially noticed a difference on the ones who purchased it for at home use. It's great that shark came out with something comparable with a better price point but I would like to see the long-term effects and the warranty. Cause of this point I would purchase Dyson over and over again Knowing what it has done For my clients and how long it has lasted. I can't wait to finally purchase the flat iron is well
My hairdresser said she loved the Dyson dryer but returned it because she had to clean the filter multiple times a day and it took up way too much time. Obviously she was using it more than a private individual would have to but do you find that you have the same problem as a stylist using the Dyson dryer?
I agree 100% as someone with curly hair. I never used inexpensive hairdryers and invested in a good quality pro dryer, however Dyson dramatically changed the way my hair looked and behaved. I have both the Supersonic and Airwrap and my hair hasn’t been better. It grows faster and looks very healthy.
@@diamondsgal76 I have curly hair, too! Can you tell me what differences you see with an expensive hair dryer? I have one that cost me about $250 but I’m interested in your experience and what brand(s) you like.
@@jacquelinegatewood5120 Hi Jacqueline, it’s not any expensive hairdryer, but specifically the Dyson Supersonic that made a huge difference. I used the T3, Babyliss, GHD, Devacurl driers before. None of them were as good as the Dyson, which dries much faster, is the quietest machine I’ve ever used, uses the heat and air in such a way that the curls shape up and hold perfectly. I also noticed that my hair feels healthier and grows faster.
The first dyson has an automatic shutdown, and it always shuts off on me. I'm over it cleaned, and it washed it, and it's still bad 👎 I paid over 500, so I bought the shark 🦈 loving it
Dyson all the way. Looked better from beginning to end of day, less noise, and honestly I think it will last longer. I’m not into buy, buy, but so one thing that will last me years, or a decade or more is worth it to me. I have a Dyson vacuum that’s 10 years old, bet my air wrap will last too.
Milana, please see a dermatologist for a rosacea and skin cancer check. You're still so young, but you have several spots on your cheeks and lips. I got a melanoma on my lip from a very tiny sun spot on my bottom lip from driving so much. I'm sorry, but it just reminds me of what I went thru in my late fifties. 😉
I wonder if your hair is a little wetter on the shark side it it would work better since it is hotter. Honestly I have never bought any shark products. I have bought Dyson but after years discover that it was not worth the price at the start. Since dyson has two types now, I will probably get the shark and give it a go. My hair is for sure not as long as yours but I do have more wavy natural hair. Thanks for the test. Hopefully someone with shorter hair will do a test.
My DIL had a Dyson vacuum cleaner and I bought a Shark. Her Dyson died and she bought a Shark. Both of our Shark vacuums are working great. I’m not sure if it will be the same for The Airwrap stylers but, I want to find out. I’m going to look up the warranty on both as well.
Shark is a winner in my book. I can already see the Dyson isn’t even working as well as the shark in your video. I have no issues using the controls, they are not that far apart and not that hard to press. Shark actually does come with a case if you buy it through shark.
I enjoyed your review esp on the technical side measuring loudness and length, and heat flow, etc. I look forward to seeing the Revlon comparisons . I wonder if they plan to do a holiday gift set and include a case with that and maybe extra attachment or the additional attachments may come later but I could definitely see a case coming for the holidays
@@Carlyw9t2 it’s called the Revlon one step initially when you buy it you only get the big round brush attachement but I’ve heard that hot tools and Revlon are own by the same company and the hot tools round brush is detachable and has different size brushes that you can also use with the Revlon. I’ve tried it and bought a bigger brush head from hot tool and it does work. Also Revlon just came out with a blow out curling iron that I think can also be used with the round brush blow dryer but it’s all sold separately.
@@allisonhernandez3829 yeah I don’t get why the UK one came in a different color and they got a case. Idk maybe they are testing it in the UK and will drop the new color and case here for a holiday special and drop the silver one in the UK for the holidays ???
@@peony2353 yes it could be. One of my biggest gripes with Dyson and, now, Shark is the fact that these tools that are first so expensive, second made to make everything easier are not dual voltage. These are obviously perfect travel devices but if you go to Europe/Asia or vice versa, you can not use it.
One of the main selling points of the Dyson is that the temperature is regulated so that it doesn't cause damage to your hair. I appreciate that Shark may dry faster because it's hotter, but I really would prefer to take a couple of minutes more with the Dyson and protect my hair.
Shark does have a beautiful carry case that zippers closed and has a nice handle plus the Sharks carry case has better storage compartments then the Dyson. I think that Shark will update their hand held dryer as far as the button placements go. Both are very good products, but not everyone can afford a $500 in some cases $600 dryer. So I think the Shark is perfect for someone on a tighter budget. Thank you for the review.
That case. Is probably an adds an additional 50 dollars to the Dyson. I could go without it as there are plenty of storage options. I honestly don’t feel or see that the curl stays in your hair. Could be the weather but not impressed with the staying power of the curls
The Uk launch it comes with a really nice case that is better than the Dyson case imo because it has a handle and zips open in the middle to give two sides.
I'm glad they've made something affordable, but I love my Dyson, no regrets on the price. Like it's so good another company copied it right down to the barrels. People keep complaining re heat on Dyson, but it dies get pretty hot but generally I prefer that the Dyson doesn't overheat/burn your hair and still delivers an excellent result like thats the whole point. Heat isn't a reflection of air flow, Dyson airflow is amazing. It always gives this amazing Salon look. From the experiment the Dyson curls held up longer. Bottom line, buy what suits you no one should go bankrupt over hair. But the Dyson will always be my choice.
For that price, I’d think the curls/waves would at least last a full day. Maybe it’s the climate where you live 🤷🏻♀️ I’ll stick with my devacurl hairdryer and my conair 1 1/4 inch barrel curler. Before curling I spray with the Eva NYC 10 in 1 and my waves last a solid 3-4 days and start to loosen the last few.
Love this video. Especially since I’m frying to decide myself which one to get. The real question is: which one do you prefer? Not that that would sway me one way but I’m curious. (Honestly, I couldn’t afford the Dyson, nor would I want to pay that much for anything!) I think I’ll wait for the next Shark. Bet it’s gonna be amazing!
It looks you struggle more with wrapping your hair easily around Dyson.... A lot of touching and fixing.... Although you get annoyed you still say "it's fine" .... Any negative thing to say? Or all the cons are towards Shark.......
LOVE watching your comparison videos. THE FOLLOWING IS MY OPINION: A person can go to any outlet store and buy a box or container to put an appliance and its attachments in that goes with their decor and NOT pay extra dollars for something they probably won’t even like. Everybody’s hair is different, there is to many reasonable priced appliances on the market and styling accessories for hair type to use to condition the hair, HEAT IS HEAT, COUNTING 1 to 10 seconds is easy. Most heating instruments let’s the user choose the heating degrees to be used. Charging or paying $700.00 for an appliance for hair is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S. One person thinks a product is perfect, another person thinks that same product is not worth their time.
Would you consider doing a comparison with the new Sally Beauty ion Luxe Autowrap Airstyler? It appears to have recently launched as well and comes in at a VERY affordable 150 dollars (no brush attachments). No brush attachments available. But I can't find any beauty bloggers who have done a video on it. Would be awesome if you were the first!
If you put the name Sally Beauty ion luxe in the search bar, there are a few you tubers on here who have done reviews. I Know of 2, Julissa Guillen and Kristina Aranilla. They both liked the product and the only negative was how hot the tool got....
@@hgchild5398 I actually just looked again and found one of them, I can't recall the name but she had a Southern accent that was adorable. She said the same thing about it being very hot despite the directions saying the heat didn't go above 275 I think? A little strange but she figured it out and made it work. It seems like a good option for people who really want the air wrap experience but find the Shark price still too high. I was intrigued that the barrels were only 1 inch on the Autowrap Airstyler, so much smaller than we're seeing from the high end brands.
I have wanted a Dyson forever but have never been able to justify the price. I bought the Sally’s one, and I’m not great at doing hair by any means. My hair is like bra-Line length, thick, but fine. I can use the Sally’s one pretty easily and my curls last dayyyyyys. It is heavy and my arm gets tired sometimes bc of the design, but it really does work and I can look past it not having all the other bells and whistles.
Thank you for this video, especially for documenting how your hair looked like at the end of the day! I really want to like the Shark, but IMO it does feels like the Dyson (this model in particular) performs better in terms of heat, overall usability, and results, which are all key points when you plan on using it long-term. Plus the colors and cases are soooo pretty 😩 I think the price difference is justified when you take all of these into account - but the Shark is definitely a very close second!
She said “look at my ear” for how hot the shark was and her ear is red on the other side still😂
This seems very bias towards the Dyson from the onset. We can literally see how the Dyson isn’t grabbing the hair as well as the Shark and yet the review seems to be stating otherwise?!
I was thinking this exact same thing like girl the dyson isn’t even grabbing the hair to curl who cares that it’s quieter
i noticed that
literally exactly what i was thinking. the only real issue i see is the loudness, and the looseness of the tools. other than that, it almost seems better than the dyson.
she also made the comment of how her ear was red on the right side but said nothing when it came to the dyson, which if you look, IS ALSO RED. she's just really bias.
Tbf I think she's doing it wrong, the way sjes wrapping the hair isn't how dyson recommend, I jave the dyson and it grabs my long thick hair easily
right i would not be shocked if they were secretly sponsored

THANK YOU. I’ve seen so many people talking about minor things and using that as justification. A DYSON IS $600 THAT IS INSANITY
I had to think twice about spending $300 on the shark! That’s still a significant amount of money. But I was shocked at how well my almost waist length hair wrapped around the barrel. So easy.

I feel the same way! I purchased the new dyson and I don’t regret it. My hair hair is fairly damaged from being platinum blonde so the higher heat on the Shark isn’t a good match right now. I hope the Shark improves and forces Dyson to reconsider their price.
I love my Dyson and I feel it worth every penny. The quality, the built and my life is just so much easier with it. I’m glad the shark is a cheaper alternative and my mom now has one. However I wish the shark or any future brand would come out with a little bit more affordable price. Almost $300 is still very expensive.
I have been waiting for a cheaper option that is actually of quality. I just can't justify the price point on the dyson for myself, personally. Both results look great to me. I think im going to end up buying the shark for myself.
The smaller barrel accounts for the tighter curls on the Dyson side (at least partly). The curls looked way better on the shark side.
Hey I'm really really sorry but could u send me a link for the shark one? I don't know where to but it from😭

I liked that you measured the barrels! For some reason everyone tests the Shark 1.25 to the 1.6 Dyson when the 1.2 Dyson is closer in size.
The best thing about the Shark for me is that 90 degree angle AND the fact that you can attach a diffuser! Absolute dream!

I'm holding out for the shark 2.0, just like Dyson they will listen and make the necessary improvements!
That’s what I’m hoping for too!
I think you are always partial to Dyson. I have the Shark and love it and it's half the price of the Dyson. I had a Dyson that never worked right. I think the Shark is better!
I find her partial to most high end things .. not that it’s a bad thing , but ..
Could just be that she’s used the Dyson first & probably has more experience with it.
@@Just_a_Mom53 if you watched her current favorites she is in love with $5 eyeliners and brow pencils. Not always high end. And you tend to get what you pay pay, usually, certainly not all the time.
Dyson is better hands down. Shark is a cheaper alternative but has its flaws.
@@Aphrodite01 I disagree! As I said, I had a Dyson that was a piece of crap. I paid $500 for a fancy box. Threw the Dyson in the garbage and now have my Shark in that box. The Dyson never worked right. The Sharp works great and only cost $249!
I have both. The Shark has more power and the curling barrels on the Shark definitely work better. Curls are way more long lasting. But the oval brush on the Shark is a bit rough on my fine thinning hair. The boar's bristles pull out hair. No one is mentioning that the Dyson has the coanda effect on the smoothing brush as well. Shark only uses the coanda effect on its barrels. The Dyson smoothing brush is magical. So sadly, I keep both plugged in and ready to use and hope one of these companies comes up with a complete solution.
It's not actually that sad when you have both, right? 😊
@@ChantalAngeles_ Oh but it is! I was determined to return one. It's super cumbersome to keep both and not at all practical. I've resolved myself to using the Dyson daily for its gentle handling of my hair regularly and keep the Shark for the curling barrels to use for special occasions. Nothing beats those Shark curling barrels.
Thanks
I think Chantel’s point is that you can afford both. I can barely afford the Shark at £299 let alone the Dyson at £600+.
@@ella_komiya exactly what I meant. Thank you!
The Shark is also meant to be an actual blowdryer, from what I read, hence it makes sense that it gets hotter.
I actually think the Shark side looks better!
Yikes. Your curls were GONE on both sides lol.
Thank you for comparing them !! I’m a single mom with a 15yr old daughter who styles her hair everyday- the price point alone is a selling factor for the Shark system …. Can’t wait to try it!
As someone with Asian hair, I wouldn’t buy these because even with regular curler by few hours my hair just goes flat even with products haha
I would love to test them but not worth the price for me.
My hair is thick and I haf a hair straitning, it catches curles nice with hait curler, nothing stays with the dyson....
me too!!! but dyson worked for me ONLY when i use my right product for styling, if i used other styling products even dyson wont work.
@@lunaaa8225can I ask what products you use I have both and non of them are working 😢
I wanna say that these tools aren’t designed the way people think. As a biomed engineering students, product development for the beauty industry aren’t that serious. The dyson “technology” isn’t that ground breaking. It’s a temperature sensor programmed to regulated the air flow to stay in between 2 variables. As for the differences for the design like the control bottins being at the bottom, it’s probably because they are trying to not get sued. 8 differences in the physical product need to be visibly observed for shark to be safe. I can spot colour, button position, number of button, number of settings, size of the tools and the number of attachements.
Last but not least the 90 degrees angle
was surprised how shark didn't get sued. thanks for explaining
Wow, the Shark side looks WAY better. And I’m not paying $600 for a hair tool. Just no.
I tried the dyson yestetday night, was standing for 50 mins trying all the tips, with mousse and spray and not touching the curles and cold shots and rapping it till the roots, went to sleep with tight curles and woke up this morning with straight hair, no curles or wavinesd what so ever...
its probs bc of the mousse. i saw someone else use mousse and they had the same issue & it fixed when she didnt use mousse. try hairspray instead!
I find it weird that the options in the us are different from the uk. Here we can only buy the shark as one set bundle and it comes with a case, the filter is also not removable on the base of the handle. The Dyson set up seems to be similar both sides of the pond though
That’s weird isn’t it? We can’t even buy the Shark in Australia. We can purchase the American one at a significant extra cost.
Lame!!!
@@london_liv5539 looks like it might be coming to Australia as Shark Clean Australia now have a 'register your interest' for it.
The filter ‘casing ‘is removable for cleaning in the UK.
I just got my Shark and so far I’m very happy with it! I won’t notice the small differences between shark and dyson because I’ve only seen the dyson at my salon and I’m perfectly fine with that 😊
I dont have either of the tools and yes the Shark price is better but I think we are forgetting all the years Dyson spent working on this technology, when Shark is just taking their idea and making a copy of it. Obviously the original one is gonna me more expensive. And to me the Dyson side looked better lol. We all love dupes but facts are facts
No hate, but Dyson didn’t actually develop the technology. Coanda tech has been used for decades in other countries, dyson was just the first to use it in the US
Honestly I'm just glad Dyson doesn't have a monopoly on the market anymore. Sally Beauty also just dropped their own version at a jaw dropping 150 bucks BUT it only has barrels, no other attachments.
Great comparison! I am a Dyson fan but the Shark does look promising!
I think you prefer dyson because you have a contract with them. For Real people like me shark is a best option because is less expensive and you can have same results. I tried dyson and I don’t like it.
Yes! I'm so excited. Honestly for me the $600 price was always to absurd in entertaining the thought of ever ACTUALLY getting i mean over DOUBLE my car payment for a hair dryer!? Nah but the 250 price is much more comparable I feel for this kind of dryer. Obviously dyson was the only one on the market to have this kind of technology so they could charge whatever they want with no competition. But now they have REAL competition. And just like dyson did they will make improvements and uprage it as needed after listening to customer feedback.
And honestly I like shark products over dyson. I bought a dyson vaccume for like 400ish crapped out after 1.5 years with mostly hard floor use my shark is a BEAST AT 230 more suction more durable, longer laster better on carpet and on upholstery. And is going on 2 years like it's brand new.
Great comparison. I love my Dyson Airwrap, but I’m happy to see a more affordable option in the market. Shark looks good from the price point, but I love the sleekness and ease of use in Dyson and it really makes the hair feel much healthier in the long term. I find it holds the style for days on my hair and my hair grew a lot faster and looks healthier. I prefer Dyson for the quietness alone, as 25% higher dB is a huge difference and it irretrievably damages the ears at such a close range. I hope Shark 2.0 refines its snags, especially the attachments and the loudness.
You lift more and put more shoulder strain with the dyson, I noticed. That, in the long run, you will start to feel. That's why you like the pivoting angle of the shark
I own the Dyson, yes I had to save up but I am really happy with it. The heat does not damage my hair and I would not like the curls falling out so fast with the shark. I completely understand that some people can’t afford the Dyson.
The Shark in the UK comes with all 5 attachments, and also a black fabric case and the colour is black and rose gold… I don’t know why those differences but check it out.
That's bananas!! I like the UK version much better!
I bet shark will release more attachments. It took dyson a little while to do that after their first release, but since shark is obviously trying to dupe, I bet they are already in the works. I definitely will be picking up the shark because even if it has a few flaws, for less than half the price it is a no brainer. Also on other things like vacuums I prefer shark to dyson so I trust the company
Ladies, are we really pretending that it's ok to pay this sort of money, for a curl that barely makes it past lunchtime?? I can get heatless curls to last until I wash my hair, and an old Remington wand that is half the time and $20, with curls or waves that last days, even sleeping on it... Until Dyson OR Shark sort out their longevity issue, they can't have my money!!
How do you do heartless curls please?
I’m more worried about damage
I’m going to hold off and get the Shark 2.0 It seems like a running theme after the initial launch brand’s release a slightly updated version. Hopefully they will listen to feedback and move the buttons
(And make a case) The case does make the Dyson look a bit more luxe. I’m a sucker for aesthetics
@@GreenBananazshark also has a case
The curls are so beautiful! My birthday is in December so I told my husband if you get me ANYTHING please let it be the Shark! Lol. So hopefully it's under my tree or at my birthday dinner lol
I'd rather buy my own case for the SHARK than to pay $600! 😖🤷♀️
Based on reviews I have seen, it seems Dyson is slightly better. However, just on the price alone, I think I would get a Shark. I find Dyson's products excessively expensive....
I agree. I think the Dyson one seems a little bit more high-end and thoughtfully designed, but the Shark costs 55% less than the Dyson, and the performance is probably only about 10% worse.
They have to recoup the research and development. Their stuff lasts forever. I have a vacuum that is 20 years old.
@@Galworld761 I agree Companies should get a good return on their investment but charging $500 for a hair tool is beyond excessive and in my opinion, greedy.... We also had a Dyson vacuum, and it broke down after a few years. Maybe we got a bad one but regardless, we certainly didn't think we got our money's worth.... And personally, I don't want a vacuum cleaner that is 20 years old because even if the vacuum is good, it probably won't compare to newer vacuum cleaners with updated features and updates..... Anyway, everyone is entitled to their opinion. We will agree to disagree.
@@parissinclair6513 Interesting. Based on the reviews I've seen (Ive seen a lot because trying to decide which to get for xmas lol) the Shark styler does the same thing if not better than the Dyson (it's more powerful, can go hotter and twists to the 90 degree angle, curls last longer etc). The only issue I've seen is where the buttons are on the Shark. The Dyson had issues when it first released and Shark have only just released their product. Based on my experience too Shark products last longer than Dyson products. It seems you get the same results with both which to me personally does not justify spending twice the amount of money on a Dyson.
@@eleanorlinsley169 that seems like a deal breaker though, especially for people who have damaged or colored hair. They want something not as powerful & not as hot.
Sound is measured in decibels, which is on a logarithmic scale. So the shark may be 25% dB louder, but that the actual sound is way louder. An increase by 10 dB means that the sound is 10 times louder. An increase of 20 dB means that the sound is 100 times louder.
The shark side looks way cooler the Dyson side is old fashioned curls
It bothers me a bit that shark showed better hold of the hair and better ergonomics, and still you said otherwise. Your review sounds biased towards Dyson, I almost feel they paid you to support Dyson
The Dyson always needed finger flicks to get it to wrap around the barrel
It really doesn’t. The only reason she did is bc her hair was too dry. Your ends should still be damp for it to wrap properly.
I wonder how much being used to the Dyson controls before using thr Shark plays into how you feel about the Shark button placement.
This feels like a Dyson ad. Lol
Don’t you just appreciate when a RUclipsr delivers?! ❤
The shark isn't going to come with the case bc it's hundreds cheaper. Asking for the extras will only bump up the price.
It comes with a case in the UK
Of course she sided with the Dyson 😂 Even though the Dyson didn’t even grab her shit that good 😂 I’d pick the shark 🦈
Wouldn’t it be a more fair review if you compared the original Dyson with the shark?
Not really, these are the two products as they exist now
Finally a cheaper alternative.
I always wanted to buy the dyson but the price tag 😬
Dyson does something well.. it's brilliant, Dyson does something bad, it's equal ... So biased.
This video is hugely biased. Not useful at all.
Awesome review!! Needed this to make sure I bought the right one for my wife and the shark sounded much better especially for the heat settings. She does have thicker hair and you mentioning that extra heat is better for that, IM SOLD! Again, Awesome review!! Happy holidays! ❤️
For half the price I can definitely live without a case (just another item to figure out where to store it anyway) and it being 25% louder. I’ve had it a couple of weeks and am enjoying it so far!
As a professional hair stylist, I would never purchase an expensive blow dryers. But they would All the last up to a year and 1⁄2. I bought the Dyson about 3 years ago and it is still going strong. I notice the difference on my clients hair. I especially noticed a difference on the ones who purchased it for at home use. It's great that shark came out with something comparable with a better price point but I would like to see the long-term effects and the warranty. Cause of this point I would purchase Dyson over and over again Knowing what it has done For my clients and how long it has lasted. I can't wait to finally purchase the flat iron is well
**I would never purchase an INEXPENSIVE blow dryer.
I would not let me edit On my tablet for some reason.
My hairdresser said she loved the Dyson dryer but returned it because she had to clean the filter multiple times a day and it took up way too much time. Obviously she was using it more than a private individual would have to but do you find that you have the same problem as a stylist using the Dyson dryer?
I agree 100% as someone with curly hair. I never used inexpensive hairdryers and invested in a good quality pro dryer, however Dyson dramatically changed the way my hair looked and behaved. I have both the Supersonic and Airwrap and my hair hasn’t been better. It grows faster and looks very healthy.
@@diamondsgal76 I have curly hair, too! Can you tell me what differences you see with an expensive hair dryer? I have one that cost me about $250 but I’m interested in your experience and what brand(s) you like.
@@jacquelinegatewood5120 Hi Jacqueline, it’s not any expensive hairdryer, but specifically the Dyson Supersonic that made a huge difference. I used the T3, Babyliss, GHD, Devacurl driers before. None of them were as good as the Dyson, which dries much faster, is the quietest machine I’ve ever used, uses the heat and air in such a way that the curls shape up and hold perfectly. I also noticed that my hair feels healthier and grows faster.
The first dyson has an automatic shutdown, and it always shuts off on me. I'm over it cleaned, and it washed it, and it's still bad 👎 I paid over 500, so I bought the shark 🦈 loving it
Shark Flex Style suctions the hair. Lovely, I’ll have to make an purchase.
Dyson all the way. Looked better from beginning to end of day, less noise, and honestly I think it will last longer. I’m not into buy, buy, but so one thing that will last me years, or a decade or more is worth it to me. I have a Dyson vacuum that’s 10 years old, bet my air wrap will last too.
Thank you for improving Andre’s voice volume. It’s much better, didn’t have to rewind to hear what he said.
Shark came in a case for me. Bought it in the UK. Really nice and portable!
Your hair looks SO smooth on shark side IMO. your hair looks frizzy on dyson side.
Milana, please see a dermatologist for a rosacea and skin cancer check. You're still so young, but you have several spots on your cheeks and lips.
I got a melanoma on my lip from a very tiny sun spot on my bottom lip from driving so much. I'm sorry, but it just reminds me of what I went thru in my late fifties. 😉
I wonder if your hair is a little wetter on the shark side it it would work better since it is hotter. Honestly I have never bought any shark products. I have bought Dyson but after years discover that it was not worth the price at the start. Since dyson has two types now, I will probably get the shark and give it a go. My hair is for sure not as long as yours but I do have more wavy natural hair.
Thanks for the test. Hopefully someone with shorter hair will do a test.
My DIL had a Dyson vacuum cleaner and I bought a Shark. Her Dyson died and she bought a Shark. Both of our Shark vacuums are working great. I’m not sure if it will be the same for The Airwrap stylers but, I want to find out. I’m going to look up the warranty on both as well.
Shark is a winner in my book. I can already see the Dyson isn’t even working as well as the shark in your video. I have no issues using the controls, they are not that far apart and not that hard to press.
Shark actually does come with a case if you buy it through shark.
I saw another review and the suction to wrap the hair on the barrel was way stronger and stayed within the barrel and not the tip with the Shark.
Me enviaron el Dyson, soy de pelo liso y los rizos no me duraban ni 10 minutos. Para personas de pelo liso que quieran rizos NO sirve el Dyson.
I enjoyed your review esp on the technical side measuring loudness and length, and heat flow, etc. I look forward to seeing the Revlon comparisons . I wonder if they plan to do a holiday gift set and include a case with that and maybe extra attachment or the additional attachments may come later but I could definitely see a case coming for the holidays
What is the name of the REVLON version
It’s weird but they include a case in the UK when you purchase it. It’s actually a way more practical case than the one Dyson gives.
@@Carlyw9t2 it’s called the Revlon one step initially when you buy it you only get the big round brush attachement but I’ve heard that hot tools and Revlon are own by the same company and the hot tools round brush is detachable and has different size brushes that you can also use with the Revlon. I’ve tried it and bought a bigger brush head from hot tool and it does work. Also Revlon just came out with a blow out curling iron that I think can also be used with the round brush blow dryer but it’s all sold separately.
@@allisonhernandez3829 yeah I don’t get why the UK one came in a different color and they got a case. Idk maybe they are testing it in the UK and will drop the new color and case here for a holiday special and drop the silver one in the UK for the holidays ???
@@peony2353 yes it could be. One of my biggest gripes with Dyson and, now, Shark is the fact that these tools that are first so expensive, second made to make everything easier are not dual voltage. These are obviously perfect travel devices but if you go to Europe/Asia or vice versa, you can not use it.
One of the main selling points of the Dyson is that the temperature is regulated so that it doesn't cause damage to your hair. I appreciate that Shark may dry faster because it's hotter, but I really would prefer to take a couple of minutes more with the Dyson and protect my hair.
I read that the shark regulates its temp as well - and more frequently than the dyson!
How often are you doing your hair that you have to worry so much about “heat damage”…
That’s why u have heat protectant. Any heat will damage your hair if not properly used
@@ln4130 ? u blow dry ur hair almost everyday of your life ofc heat is important
@@ln4130i used 4 times for week and my hair is healthy
Shark does have a beautiful carry case that zippers closed and has a nice handle plus the Sharks carry case has better storage compartments then the Dyson. I think that Shark will update their hand held dryer as far as the button placements go. Both are very good products, but not everyone can afford a $500 in some cases $600 dryer. So I think the Shark is perfect for someone on a tighter budget. Thank you for the review.
for me, I honestly like the look of the shark side, I love the shark because of the price and 90-degree angle.
Would love to have the Dyson, but can't justify $700 for a hairdryer. Shark will definitely win, but will wait for updates.
Nice Sponsored review 😂
I saw another brand on Amazon last night when I was sleep-scrolling. Price wise it was about the same as the Shark.
That case. Is probably an adds an additional 50 dollars to the Dyson. I could go without it as there are plenty of storage options. I honestly don’t feel or see that the curl stays in your hair. Could be the weather but not impressed with the staying power of the curls
The Uk launch it comes with a really nice case that is better than the Dyson case imo because it has a handle and zips open in the middle to give two sides.
The shark side actually looks slightly shinier. After the blow dry it was less frizzy
How long does it take to do your whole head? What is the cord length on both and were there any issues with twisting or binding?
UK version has a case X
I'm glad they've made something affordable, but I love my Dyson, no regrets on the price. Like it's so good another company copied it right down to the barrels.
People keep complaining re heat on Dyson, but it dies get pretty hot but generally I prefer that the Dyson doesn't overheat/burn your hair and still delivers an excellent result like thats the whole point. Heat isn't a reflection of air flow, Dyson airflow is amazing. It always gives this amazing Salon look. From the experiment the Dyson curls held up longer.
Bottom line, buy what suits you no one should go bankrupt over hair. But the Dyson will always be my choice.
I think it's greedy of them to charge that much regardless
For that price, I’d think the curls/waves would at least last a full day. Maybe it’s the climate where you live 🤷🏻♀️ I’ll stick with my devacurl hairdryer and my conair 1 1/4 inch barrel curler. Before curling I spray with the Eva NYC 10 in 1 and my waves last a solid 3-4 days and start to loosen the last few.
She said at the end that she didn’t use anything to help keep the curls, that’s why they fell throughout the day
Aren’t both dryers supposed to wrap the hair around their barrels automatically?
Color me confused…🤷🏼♀️
I just bought it in the UK and it came with a case. Not as nice as the Dyson one but still very useful! Great review
I think it’s better as it has a zip.
At the end of the day there are no curls left whether you paid Dyson price or Shark price. So disappointing!
The review we've all been waiting for!
Love this video. Especially since I’m frying to decide myself which one to get. The real question is: which one do you prefer? Not that that would sway me one way but I’m curious. (Honestly, I couldn’t afford the Dyson, nor would I want to pay that much for anything!) I think I’ll wait for the next Shark. Bet it’s gonna be amazing!
I'm for shark, nearly identical and less than half the price!
For $300 difference I will choose the louder
It looks you struggle more with wrapping your hair easily around Dyson.... A lot of touching and fixing.... Although you get annoyed you still say "it's fine" .... Any negative thing to say? Or all the cons are towards Shark.......
LOVE watching your comparison videos. THE FOLLOWING IS MY OPINION: A person can go to any outlet store and buy a box or container to put an appliance and its attachments in that goes with their decor and NOT pay extra dollars for something they probably won’t even like. Everybody’s hair is different, there is to many reasonable priced appliances on the market and styling accessories for hair type to use to condition the hair, HEAT IS HEAT, COUNTING 1 to 10 seconds is easy. Most heating instruments let’s the user choose the heating degrees to be used. Charging or paying $700.00 for an appliance for hair is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S. One person thinks a product is perfect, another person thinks that same product is not worth their time.
Would you consider doing a comparison with the new Sally Beauty ion Luxe Autowrap Airstyler? It appears to have recently launched as well and comes in at a VERY affordable 150 dollars (no brush attachments). No brush attachments available. But I can't find any beauty bloggers who have done a video on it.
Would be awesome if you were the first!
If you put the name Sally Beauty ion luxe in the search bar, there are a few you tubers on here who have done reviews. I Know of 2, Julissa Guillen and Kristina Aranilla. They both liked the product and the only negative was how hot the tool got....
@@hgchild5398 I actually just looked again and found one of them, I can't recall the name but she had a Southern accent that was adorable. She said the same thing about it being very hot despite the directions saying the heat didn't go above 275 I think? A little strange but she figured it out and made it work.
It seems like a good option for people who really want the air wrap experience but find the Shark price still too high. I was intrigued that the barrels were only 1 inch on the Autowrap Airstyler, so much smaller than we're seeing from the high end brands.
I have wanted a Dyson forever but have never been able to justify the price. I bought the Sally’s one, and I’m not great at doing hair by any means. My hair is like bra-Line length, thick, but fine. I can use the Sally’s one pretty easily and my curls last dayyyyyys. It is heavy and my arm gets tired sometimes bc of the design, but it really does work and I can look past it not having all the other bells and whistles.
Thank you for this video, especially for documenting how your hair looked like at the end of the day! I really want to like the Shark, but IMO it does feels like the Dyson (this model in particular) performs better in terms of heat, overall usability, and results, which are all key points when you plan on using it long-term. Plus the colors and cases are soooo pretty 😩 I think the price difference is justified when you take all of these into account - but the Shark is definitely a very close second!
No I think there was bias going into the video
The dyson seems higher pitched
She can’t see her curls. Shark curls LOOK nicer
I was leaning towards the Shark because of the price but your curls look amazing with the Dyson.
