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.
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
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.
@@KristinaMalimon redken texture spray and hair spray. My curls tend to fall after a day anyway though. Texture spray gives a matte feeling and helps the most
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!
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
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.
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 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.
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
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 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!
@@OnyxMoon1 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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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
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.
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.
I’ve been watching a few videos on Dyson vs Shark before I make that big purchase. Your video was the best and very detailed. Thanks for the honesty and details.
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.
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
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!
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...
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.
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.
If you are torn between the two I will say what my thoughts are. I bought the Dyson hair dryer when it first came out. 2 years after I bought it it was shot…I mean would not work and I cleaned it regularly and took VERY good care of it. Dyson wouldn’t satisfy the warranty so here I am 400 bucks gone. So I bought the shark hair dryer. It’s still going strong until this day. It also has more power than the Dyson. I have read countless reviews of others saying that even though the shark is cheaper, it’s built to last. The only thing I can say about the Dyson that’s positive is that my hair did feel and look healthier than the shark. It was also less frizzy. I’m thinking about buying the shark curler now just after my experiences with the two. Just my thoughts.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Being a licensed professional, I don't know. I think the average person could get some really good use out of either, but knowing how to use a blow dryer and a round brush, and the lasting power of an iron, its so hard to make that leap. I would be more willing to try the Shark over the Dyson, but gosh I don't know...maybe one day. It's so hard for us stylists to stray from our holy grail tools!
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.
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 this comparison! I’m definitely going to go with the shark. I mean I couldn’t afford the dyson anyway, but as a single mother the cost of the shark is much more manageable and the results and ease of the handle make it a winner for me.
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.
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.
I know that Dyson is expensive but I appreciate brands that disrupt the market, after Dyson released their hair tools all other brands are rushing to make a copy. Obv it's a bit too high depending on how much you value hair but I enjoy mine - mostly for the noise factor.
exactly. If it just copies a bit then it's definitely fine, but shark is copying the product to the bone. Apparently ppl aren't fine with chinese companies duplicating products but it's all rainbows when shark does.
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 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.
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 noticed you manually wrapped the hair around the barrels of both the shark and the Dyson. That has me concerned as I have Rhuemetoid arthritis and I thought the wrapping action would be easier on my hands and fingers?
Soph tested out the Shark the other day and the one she had came in a case, so I’m not sure if you buy the more expensive option if it comes with it or not?
@@RachelHannan In the US, No case is offered. In the UK, The machine is black and comes with a case. I believe it is slightly more expensive though. Soph does life did the review recently.
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.
Having difficulty choosing which to purchase. My hair does not allow curl to stay...Although,I have thin hair i do have a good amount of hair. I wish to not damage my hair with so many products. It seems you are gentle with your hair as well
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 honestly don’t know how you’re able to curl your hair with the wand upside down. I’m not sure if I can do that with a curling iron or flat iron since I don’t have the Dyson or any curling wand.
Just bought Shark after I sold my Airwrap - and will return it and buy another AW 😂 Shark grabs the hair better but here in Germany, we just got the wide barrel which doesn’t work for me. With the 20mm AW, I don’t need hairspray and the curls last all day. With Shark the curls fall out immediately without even touching. The Shark round brush is ridiculous! How long your hair has to be to use this massive thing..? And yes, the Shark isn’t ergonomic at all.
shark styler is NOT available in Australia- so many people have contacted them including me and getting the run around (yet manufactured here) so get the dyson don't waste your time.
Even during the video I felt like the Shark side was loosening up faster.. I know the curls were tighter on the Dyson to start with, but it didn't budge at all, whereas Shark side was almost down to very loose waves towards the end there.
I noticed clearly that the Dyson doesn’t grab the hair as fast or strong enough. The shark sucks it all fast and strong and she has to help the Dyson to grab and wrap the hair. and is not that the Dyson curls were tighter, it was obvious the attachment was longer and slimmer. I’m sure if the shark had the attachment a little slimmer the curl would’ve been tighter too. It all depends on the thickness.
She said “look at my ear” for how hot the shark was and her ear is red on the other side still😂
The price of the Shark makes it a winner to me.
Sssaasmmmeeee
Absolutely! I still think it’s ridiculous- but 🙈
Totally agree! I ordered the shark and can't wait for it to get here

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
The best thing about the Shark for me is that 90 degree angle AND the fact that you can attach a diffuser! Absolute dream!

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.

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
Shark is just gonna copy Dyson each time. Next shark flex launch will probably add magnets like Dyson has
They copy because they’re made in China. They’re always reverse engineering and bringing something out
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.

The Shark is also meant to be an actual blowdryer, from what I read, hence it makes sense that it gets hotter.
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.
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
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 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😭
What i learned is that all curls fall out by the end of the day no matter how much you spend
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.
Truth
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.
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!!!

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!
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.
I’m deciding on the Dyson refurbished $350 or shark $249 on Amazon prime day now . Only $100 difference
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.
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. 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.
Costco has them? 😮😮
$175 huh? Do you mean the regular shark hair dryer only? Ie not the wand
@@Fashionseestashark flex style is on sale $240 at Costco now
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.
I just bought the shark flex style and I love it !!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
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
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 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
I actually think the Shark side looks better!
I wonder how much being used to the Dyson controls before using thr Shark plays into how you feel about the Shark button placement.
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 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.
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.
I’ve been watching a few videos on Dyson vs Shark before I make that big purchase. Your video was the best and very detailed. Thanks for the honesty and details.
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.
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.
Don’t you just appreciate when a TH-camr delivers?! ❤
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
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!
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!
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.
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.
This is the comparison we all wanted and needed. I think dyson is still the champ.
Thanks for taking the time to make the comparison.
Thank you for improving Andre’s voice volume. It’s much better, didn’t have to rewind to hear what he said.
If you are torn between the two I will say what my thoughts are. I bought the Dyson hair dryer when it first came out. 2 years after I bought it it was shot…I mean would not work and I cleaned it regularly and took VERY good care of it. Dyson wouldn’t satisfy the warranty so here I am 400 bucks gone. So I bought the shark hair dryer. It’s still going strong until this day. It also has more power than the Dyson. I have read countless reviews of others saying that even though the shark is cheaper, it’s built to last. The only thing I can say about the Dyson that’s positive is that my hair did feel and look healthier than the shark. It was also less frizzy. I’m thinking about buying the shark curler now just after my experiences with the two. Just my thoughts.
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 😢
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
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
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.
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 $600 dryer. So I think the Shark is perfect for someone on a tighter budget. Thank you for the review.
The review we've all been waiting for!
I’ve just got the shark and mine has come with a beautiful case
I ve got the shark last week, it came out with an amazing box to keep it in with all the attachment as well
Being a licensed professional, I don't know. I think the average person could get some really good use out of either, but knowing how to use a blow dryer and a round brush, and the lasting power of an iron, its so hard to make that leap. I would be more willing to try the Shark over the Dyson, but gosh I don't know...maybe one day. It's so hard for us stylists to stray from our holy grail tools!
Normalize NOT spending 700$ on a hair dryer. I'm sorry but nooooooo.
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 🙄
Influencers have lost touch with reality and their audience. The normal viewer simply cannot afford crap like this.
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.
@@meesbees 🤗 here's a hug. You need this
for me, I honestly like the look of the shark side, I love the shark because of the price and 90-degree angle.
i’m loving the slightly tighter curls look you got with the dyson… my hair never gets long enough to get that effect 😭😭
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.
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?
Great comparison! I am a Dyson fan but the Shark does look promising!
The shark side actually looks slightly shinier. After the blow dry it was less frizzy
Thank you for this comparison! I’m definitely going to go with the shark. I mean I couldn’t afford the dyson anyway, but as a single mother the cost of the shark is much more manageable and the results and ease of the handle make it a winner for me.
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.
Where is the continuous water spray from?
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.
I know that Dyson is expensive but I appreciate brands that disrupt the market, after Dyson released their hair tools all other brands are rushing to make a copy. Obv it's a bit too high depending on how much you value hair but I enjoy mine - mostly for the noise factor.
exactly. If it just copies a bit then it's definitely fine, but shark is copying the product to the bone. Apparently ppl aren't fine with chinese companies duplicating products but it's all rainbows when shark does.
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 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.
Aren’t both dryers supposed to wrap the hair around their barrels automatically?
Color me confused…🤷🏼♀️
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
I noticed you manually wrapped the hair around the barrels of both the shark and the Dyson. That has me concerned as I have Rhuemetoid arthritis and I thought the wrapping action would be easier on my hands and fingers?
Soph tested out the Shark the other day and the one she had came in a case, so I’m not sure if you buy the more expensive option if it comes with it or not?
I wondered that too. I seen Soph and knew hers had a case. Wonder if it's different in different countried 🤔
@@spartanzld maybe!
@@RachelHannan In the US, No case is offered. In the UK, The machine is black and comes with a case. I believe it is slightly more expensive though. Soph does life did the review recently.
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
Thank you so much for your time making this video. How often do you use the nourishment you used in this video?
Having difficulty choosing which to purchase. My hair does not allow curl to stay...Although,I have thin hair i do have a good amount of hair. I wish to not damage my hair with so many products. It seems you are gentle with your hair as well
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
Hi I bought the Shark last week and it had a case with a sip on it, handy for all the attachments
I honestly don’t know how you’re able to curl your hair with the wand upside down. I’m not sure if I can do that with a curling iron or flat iron since I don’t have the Dyson or any curling wand.
Just bought Shark after I sold my Airwrap - and will return it and buy another AW 😂
Shark grabs the hair better but here in Germany, we just got the wide barrel which doesn’t work for me. With the 20mm AW, I don’t need hairspray and the curls last all day. With Shark the curls fall out immediately without even touching. The Shark round brush is ridiculous! How long your hair has to be to use this massive thing..? And yes, the Shark isn’t ergonomic at all.
shark styler is NOT available in Australia- so many people have contacted them including me and getting the run around (yet manufactured here) so get the dyson don't waste your time.
Your hair looks SO smooth on shark side IMO. your hair looks frizzy on dyson side.
How does the mechanism to click the attachments in compare? I find my Dyson has little “teeth” that click in which wobble over time
I really want is to know which one is better in keeping the integrity of the hair? I need a hair to style my fine/frizzy hair
Finally a cheaper alternative.
I always wanted to buy the dyson but the price tag 😬
Dyson refurbished $350
Where did you get that spray bottle?
You look WONDERFUL in longer hair! (I haven't seen you in a while). Thanks for the video...this saved me from getting a body wave.
Even during the video I felt like the Shark side was loosening up faster.. I know the curls were tighter on the Dyson to start with, but it didn't budge at all, whereas Shark side was almost down to very loose waves towards the end there.
Its because of barel diameter I think.
Go and buy your Dyson... If you in love with shit...
In the UK the shark comes with a black case to store in.
Given the price and the similarities I will be getting the shark
In the UK, the Shark comes with a carry case that is zipped with a top handle 😊
I was leaning towards the Shark because of the price but your curls look amazing with the Dyson.
Shark came in a case for me. Bought it in the UK. Really nice and portable!
So there is a switch at the top of the barrel so you don’t have to go over the top of your head. It changes direction of airflow.
Did you try holding the shark with your dominant hand? You were biased. It was evident you were more interested in dyson than shark.
Very useful information. I wish I could find a comparison better the flex style and the speed style . Nobody compare the Shark brand.
Does she talk about the dyson aiwrap turning off ALL THE TIME, as it happened to many people?
I’m so glad I found you again and I appreciate your compassion
Why didn't any of the curls last. Do u have to spray hairspray?
Your videos are always so helpful! Thank you
I noticed clearly that the Dyson doesn’t grab the hair as fast or strong enough. The shark sucks it all fast and strong and she has to help the Dyson to grab and wrap the hair. and is not that the Dyson curls were tighter, it was obvious the attachment was longer and slimmer. I’m sure if the shark had the attachment a little slimmer the curl would’ve been tighter too. It all depends on the thickness.
Does she have the long hair attachments? 😳 My hair is to the middle of my back, would this work?
