Sexy Hair Tools Review

I wanted to do a review today since February is Tool Sale Month at Salon Centric! After going to Vegas and getting my brain fried of information only to come home and get the flu, I am now rested and well enough to get back to blogging!!!!

I have a new found respect for Sexy Hair. I used to think they were cheap and almost (I am sorry) trashy, but after sitting down with the CEO and key members of their marketing team, my eyes have been opened to an amazing product line with a support team that CARES for its stylists and consumers and their wants and needs.

When I heard that Sexy was coming out with a tool line, I was a little confused. Here is a company that is known for its hairspray, what kind of business do they have making flat irons and blow dryers? Then they sent us samples and I fell in love.

The Dryer:

At first glance, the packaging steals my heart. I am a sucker for marketing and packaging!!!!! You flip open the box and BAM, the classic red and black remind you that Sexy made this dryer. Pick it up and you will feel that it is surprisingly light and not top or handle heavy, its perfectly balanced. It also has a very comfortable handle to its classic shape. Being a carpal tunnel surgery survivor (teehee, I like to milk it still) I have come to really care about dryer handles, they have to be comfortable and feel natural. This one passes my test. Turn it on and you will be amazed at how powerful it is. I has a DC motor, which before this dryer came out, only the Sam Villa and Ferrari dryers had. DC motors are smaller yet more powerful than its counterpart AC motor. This type of motor also lasts longer, this is how Sexy was able to attach a 2 year warranty to its dryer! And my final rave about this dryer…… the ionic switch! If the ionic switch is turned on, the dryer sends out negative ions that are ideal for smoothing thick coarse hair. If the switch is turned off, the dryer sends out positive ions that are ideal for creating volume on fine or normal hair. GENIOUS! It is not a Ferrari dryer by any means, but it is a solid piece of equipment at a reasonable price.

 

 

 

The Flat Iron:

Once again, the packaging is beautiful. The consumer is able to open it up to a fancy display of the iron and its super cool thermal travel case. Take it out and feel how narrow and light the iron is. The buttons are easy to access and easy to understand. You have to press and hold the power button so there will be no "accidently turning it off" mid use. The plates are very cushioned so you don’t have to use too much tension. It does go up to 450 degrees, but like I said in my first post, THAT IS NOT FOR DAILY USE!!!!! Hair melts at 400 degrees, so 450 should only be used for Brazilian Blowout type services! It is super smooth and I didn’t get any snagging or pulling when trying to curl with it. The plates were extra long and had beveled edges too so curling with it was a breeze. There is also a "lock" feature so when you are done with it and put it in the super snazzy travel case it comes with, you can lock the plates together while its stored. This might come in handy in situations like when my previous flat iron was cooling down on my bathroom counter and accidently melted my toothbrush AND hairspray…. Lesson learned. The flat iron also has a 2 year warranty.

 

So what it all comes down to is that I am impressed by these new tools from Sexy! Innovative, pretty, and superb performance. They really thought of everything with these tools, even adding a promo of "buy one tool, get one of their new Style Sexy 450 sprays for free" (450 protect just so happens to be my new go to heat protectant spray). I do get incentives and spiffs for selling certain products, but I NEVER EVER put that ahead of what is best for my customer. I do not get any incentive for selling these tools so I am able to put my full recommendation behind them without looking like a car salesman! Come into your local Salon Centric and try them out, each store has a demo of each!
