Great clear video! I have had a Parlux 1300 since 1990 (!!), and it died on me yesterday...For something that has lasted for 3/4 of my entire life (I am 44 years old), I am definitely going for the same brand. But the choice is staggering! So your video really helped me out 😊 I will go with the 385 Light, as weight is very important to me, and also too much wattage might not be the best in my house - It is a French stone house from 1920, with electrics from ca 1970, and already the Parlux 1300 could never run at full strength from these sockets 😵‍💫

Fantastic review, got the Parlux Alyon in jade for my nice 😍

Thank you for your review, I order the Alyon with the holiday sale. I’m getting it tomorrow, cannot wait!

How do you like it ?

Thank you for the helpful summary 😊 Are you able to include a noise comparison in future? Are the decibels listed anywhere for parlux models? I started using earplugs from the hardware store years ago to protect against hearing loss a few years ago, and find its more comfortable.

this has been sooo helpful! thank you

hello, im a barber & im interested in the parlux ardent "barber" dryer, was wondering if anyone can tell me the decibel levels for this dryer in low & high? thanx

Thanks, I'm still undecided on which hairdryer to buy, so many buzz words haha 😭😅 xxx

I have 385 since 12 years, i use it every single week for blow dry so i can say it last more than 2200 hours 😂 2 days ago my son broke it 😢, so i'm thinking if i buy the same or i choose another model from Parlux. Thank you for your video it did help me.

Hi this video was so helpful :) could I just ask if what the length of the Alyon is? I know the other super compact one is 17cm and I’m just wondering if it the same as I can’t find the information anywhere online!! Thank you :) xx

Hi Olivia, if you check out the link in the description you can see comparisons between all parlux dryers and their weight- hope that helps!

I bought the helios thinking I’d love it but it just didn’t have the power I thought it would for my long thick hair. I see the Parlux Aylon is much more powerful than 1875 watts which is what the helios is. Is the difference between the two in terms of the blowing power a big difference?

@KristyJoan

3 жыл бұрын

The Helios has less power but has a very different motor which relies less on power, which is why I find it actually dries my hair quicker than traditional ceramic dryers! Alyon is a traditional motor and a higher wattage, another option is the Elchim dryer which has one of the highest watts I've ever used (and is kind to the hair!).

A lot depends too on which country you’re in. Customer service varies depending on the country. In the USA, GHD customer service is fantastic while Parlux is difficult to reach. That being said, both are excellent hairdryers. Both are having sales now so check them both out. I’ll add my comments this week when my Helios arrives. Without Kristy’s reviews I would have been lost.

Thks for review. People must be careful as there are fake Parlux circulating. It looks like the real one but it isn't. Therefore rather purchase from salon then you know you getting the real deal

Great video. You answered more questions than Parlux USA did for me. And thank you so much for getting this video out so fast. The main problem with Parlux USA is trying to speak to customer service. I’ve been trying for about a month with no reply to messages I’ve left. And my emails are just responded to with cut and paste from their web site. Recently I sent an email to Parlux and GHD saying that I’ve tried to contact them several times by phone with no luck and it would be great if I could speak to someone about some product questions that haven’t been answered through emails. Only GHD sent me an email requesting my phone number, time and day to contact me. GHD spoke with me for over 30 minutes. I’ll be ordering the GHD Helios do to their customer service this week.

That's so disheartening to hear about Parlux! In Australia the supplier for Parlux is really great BUT, GHD is such a big company that rely on consumer customer service so I can see how that happened. Let me know what colour Helios you get! I have a black but I think the white is my fave!

I definitely will take that on board, however with most new dryers the sound is not a great indicator of power as they usually have silencers (most people want quieter dryers but still have power)!
