    High Powered

    Due to its high power, it dries my hair quickly which is great. My one negative is that the lowest setting is still too strong, it needs a gentle setting for the finer parts of my hair...... overall I'm happy

    Not enough control of air flow

    It would be a great item but the air flow is too much for me on the lowest setting with the diffuser. It blows my curls around too much with the diffuser attached. Only having two air flows but three heat settings was disappointing. I have shorter hair perhaps would suit Longer hair. Great that you can use hot of cold, the lowest warm setting is perfect. Apart from not having a lower air flow setting its a good hair dryer. This product would have been a 5 star, but only having 2 air flow settings was a let down.

Things to consider

Heavier and less compact than lightweight travel hair dryers, making it less ideal for frequent travellers.

Salon quality suitability

Yes - Delivers salon-level drying and styling results suitable for home or professional use.

Travel friendliness score

5/10 - Full-size design and weight make it less convenient for travel.

Noise level vs category

7/10 - Moderately quiet for a high-powered dryer, but not the quietest in its class.

Ease of use rating

8/10 - Intuitive controls and ergonomic design, though heavier than compact models.

Frizz control performance

9/10 - Advanced ionic technology provides excellent frizz reduction for most hair types.

Key benefits

  • Powerful Motor: Delivers high-speed airflow for faster drying times compared to standard models.
  • Advanced Ionic Conditioning: Reduces frizz and enhances shine for smoother hair.
  • Multiple Heat & Speed Settings: Customisable control for different hair types and styles.
  • Cool Shot Button: Helps set styles and lock in shine after drying.
  • Salon-Grade AC Motor: Designed for durability and consistent performance over time.

Q: Is the VS Sassoon 5Q Brilliance closer to a premium dryer like Dyson, or more like a standard hair dryer?

A: It sits closer to the premium end than a basic hair dryer, but it is not automatically a like for like Dyson replacement. Compare weight, included attachments, airflow feel, and heat control on the page before expecting the same styling experience.

Q: Is the VS Sassoon 5Q Brilliance a better fit for thick or long hair than an entry-level dryer?

A: Yes. A high performance dryer is usually the better choice for thick, long, or dense hair because stronger airflow can cut drying time. The main trade-off is that technique still matters, especially if you want to limit frizz at the ends.

Q: How does the VS Sassoon 5Q Brilliance compare with the VS Sassoon 3Q Brilliance range?

A: The 5Q Brilliance sits above the 3Q Brilliance in the range, so buyers usually look at it for a more premium drying and styling experience. The practical comparison is attachments, control options, handling, and overall drying speed, not just price.

Q: Who is the VS Sassoon 5Q Brilliance best suited to?

A: It is best suited to buyers who dry their hair often and want a more premium tool than a basic family dryer. It makes the most sense for regular styling, thicker hair types, or anyone comparing higher performance models rather than budget options.
