Worked well until it didn’t. Aside from a minor design flaw which allows hair to get caught between the attachment and body, it was overall working fine. Now it turns off within 60-90 seconds with a flashing red light. Infuriating to spend this much on an item and have it last less than a year before it stopped working.

(Before reading the review: I’ve attached a photo of my hair using the Shark and Dyson. You can take a guess which side [right/R or left/L] was which device and I’ll put the answer at the end of the review). After some research, I decided to buy the Shark primarily due to cost and the twist feature. (Also just to note, I really only wanted one of these hair styling devices for the curls/blowout look, so I will mainly be focusing on the “wrap” attachment and regular blow drying since those were the two functions I used before I ultimately decided to return it). First, things I like about it. The twist. Made regular blow drying so easy and similar to how one would use a regular blow dryer. When using the barrel attachment, the hold was strong. Once my hair was wrapped it did not move until the device was turned off. Cord was long. Different types of attachments, such as a diffuser which the Dyson does not come with. Second, the eh. I didn’t really believe the other reviews, but the Shark is a tad noisier than the Shark. I feel like that has more to do with the way the air comes out of the barrel - it’s stronger? and therefore louder than the Dyson. With the Dyson, it was primarily just loud at the filter end. But all hair dryers are loud, so how much of a difference noise makes is a personal preference. The buttons felt somewhat inconveniently placed. Cool shot is in the middle and other buttons are on the bottom. Sometimes I had difficulty feeling for the cool shot button. Felt like it was too far from the off switch. Would just but quicker and more convenient to not have to not constantly have to slide my hand up and down for the buttons. Finally, what I didn’t like. The two separate barrel attachments, only having one barrel width option, and no “long” barrel option for long hair. I have fairly long hair, and I felt that the barrel needed to be a bit longer to work better for me. It also would be way more convenient IMO to just be able to switch airflow direction like with the Dyson. The Shark did get really hot, and I was reading that Shark doesn’t really have an internal temperature monitor like the Dyson does. Part of the appeal of these devices is the “less heat damage” aspect, though heat is heat but we do what we can. I did feel like the Dyson did not get as hot, which could be good or bad depending on how you look at it. Answer to the photo: Left was Dyson, Right was Shark. Personally, I didn’t like the results of the Shark side the next day. Just to note, with the Dyson, I used the smallest diameter long length barrel. Obviously, I used the only barrel option Shark came with. I can’t remember if the diameters were the same or not, but I set both sides with hairspray and slept with my hair above my head as to not crush the curls. My hair was almost straight on the Shark side. Both times I used the Shark the waves fell so flat. For those results, it wasn’t worth the time and effort. TLDR: I ultimately decided to return the Shark. Didn’t like the results. Didn’t like the medium length (compared to original and long length barrels for Dyson) barrel, just too short for my long hair. Didn’t like having to change barrels for each side. Didn’t like the level of noise it produced. Buttons IMO inconveniently placed. Heat intensity questionable. I did like the swivel feature, more ergonomic. I did like the different types of attachments Included. I liked the price compared to Dyson.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so I impressed with my Shark FlexStyle styling system. Being completely honest..I thought this would never do half as good as my Competitor and originator of this styling dryer,curler, brush set.. but this blew my mind. I rate this HIGHER than my other due to the speed the heat the air blew.. even the curling wand attachments... did a much better curl in my honest opinion!! I'm so happy with this I'm totally sold. whatever the other brands can do... Shark can really do better!! This shark styler is easy to use and works so great with ease. I can't wait to see what other styles I'll pull off with this. I'm hoping they come out with longer barrels and other attachments. Two Thumbs up and highly endorsed!!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an incredibly powerful dryer. It dries my hair quickly, almost half the time it takes my previous dryer. It is incredibly versatile as well, you can do so much with it. The curlers were easy to figure out and once you get the hang of it, they come out great. Very nice!

I have had this for a few months, I absolutely hate it. I have thick hair I’m Italian and Puerto Rican and this does nothing for my hair. Doesn’t keep curls— when you think about it. The only people who advertise it are women with thinner hair, usually blonde who don’t experience the struggle of having thick hair. I have tried straightening my hair before you saying the air curling option and I have done it wet and both ways has never worked hurting. It doesn’t help I still just reach for my curling wand instead. Truly disappointed I wish I could return this garbage.

I’ve been using the shark FlexStyle for about a year and a half. I bought it hoping it would be just as good as the Dyson based on video reviews. I can say, it is just as good as you see the Dyson work, if not better. It’s affordable for a hairdryer with all of the attachments and it’s a guarantee that you’ll use it often. The only thing I’ll say that made me remove one star is because it collect dust in the vent and if you don’t clean it it will frequently turn off during use. Other than that, I love how this hair dryer makes my hair looks. It’s perfect for blowouts, curls, straightening, and the BEST tool if you have curtain bangs. My boyfriend also uses this hairdryer and LOOOOVEEEESSS it. So, expect people to be excited to try it out!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product! Super strong and powerful airflow and versatility with attachments for different hair types and styling is amazing! Only con is I wish it was a little quieter, but other than that AMAZING!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product is very durable and should last a long time. Amazed how lightweight it is. Not very loud at all. The big brush attachment is awesome for adding volume. Love how easy the curling iron is to use. Love all the different blow-out attachments

I have long thick hair. It takes me a little over 40 minutes to dry and style, I'm not kidding when I say, full salon style blowout in less than 20 mins! Also, I got to donate the 4 styling tools I used to need to my sister-in-law since this little device handles all my hair needs. I. Am. Obsessed!!!! I do wish it came with or sold separately a case to safely store when not using.
