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

Very happy with purchases we've made at The Good Guys, top customer service is always given. Great branded products on offer for selection. Always go The Good Guys first, generally don't need to go to a second store.

At a glance
The VS Sassoon 5Q Brilliance is a lightweight high performance hair dryer designed for faster drying, easier handling, and better frizz control. It suits everyday users, thick hair types, and curl routines thanks to its diffuser, ionic conditioning, and long cord. Its biggest strength is balancing power with comfort. One limitation is that it offers fewer heat and speed combinations than some premium salon-focused dryers.

Things to consider
It is lightweight and powerful, but with 3 heat settings and 2 speeds it offers less fine-tuning than some specialist salon dryers with broader control ranges.
Salon quality suitability
Suitable for advanced home styling and capable enough for salon-style results at home.
Travel friendliness score
4/10 - lightweight at 508g, but its full-size design and 2200W output make it better for home use than travel packing.
Noise level vs category
8/10 - Quietone air intake system is designed to reduce noise compared with many standard high-power dryers.
Ease of use rating
9/10 - lightweight, balanced design and long 2.8m cord make it comfortable and practical to use.
Frizz control performance
8/10 - ionic conditioning and concentrator support smoother results and better frizz management.
Key benefits
- EC digital motor: Delivers strong airflow for faster drying performance and more responsive styling.
- 2200W power: Provides high-output drying strength suited to thicker hair and longer styling sessions.
- 508g lightweight body: Helps reduce arm fatigue and makes the dryer easier to handle during extended use.
- Diffuser attachment: Supports curl shape and gentler airflow for curly, wavy, or thick hair.
- Ultra-slim concentrator: Directs airflow precisely for smoother finishes and more controlled shaping.
- Ionic conditioning system: Helps reduce frizz and supports a smoother, shinier-looking finish.
- Cold shot function: Helps set your style at the end of drying for better hold.
- 2.8m cord: Gives extra reach around a vanity or mirror for more flexible styling positions.
Q: Is the lowest setting gentle enough for fine hair sections?
A: It can be adjusted down with 3 heat settings and 2 speed options, but this is still a high performance 2200W dryer. If you want very soft airflow for finer sections, the lowest setting may still feel fairly strong.
Q: Can it handle both smooth blow-dries and curl diffusing?
A: Yes. The ultra-slim concentrator directs airflow for smoothing, while the diffuser spreads it more gently for curls and waves. With 3 heat settings and 2 speeds, it gives useful control, but not broad salon-style tuning.
Q: How quiet is this dryer in a shared bathroom?
A: It is designed to reduce noise because the Quietone air intake helps soften the sound during use. It is still a full-size 2200W performance dryer, so expect normal drying noise rather than near-silent operation.
Q: Is the VS Sassoon 5Q Brilliance good for travel?
A: No. VS Sassoon 5Q Brilliance is light for a full-size dryer at 508g, but the body does not fold and it is built more for home use. If packing space is limited, a smaller travel dryer will usually be easier to carry.
Q: Will the 2.8m cord make styling easier near a vanity?
A: Yes. The 2.8m cord gives extra reach when the power point is off to the side of a mirror or vanity. It is mainly a convenience feature, not a performance one, so the benefit is easier positioning while you style.
Q: Does the 508g weight make a noticeable difference in use?
A: VS Sassoon 5Q Brilliance weighs 508g, which helps it feel easier to manoeuvre during longer styling sessions. The balanced body also improves handling, but it is still a full-size home dryer rather than a compact travel model.
