The 'salon quality' hair dryer that 'gives Dyson a run for its money' now 50% less
A decent hair dryer is an essential in the daily life of any beauty fan. For those who don't want to invest the big bucks on a Shark or Dyson, then there's many other affordable alternatives.
One brand that often provides "salon quality results" on a budget is BaByliss, with the Platinum Hair Dryer and Diffuser Set a huge hit with Amazon shoppers - and it's currently a steal at half-price.
This professional hair tool would usually set shoppers back £65. However, the online delivery firm has currently slashed it to a much more affordable £32.49, but the deal will only be around for a limited time, so we'd advise acting fast.
Combining a professional 2300W AC motor and a powerful airflow, this hair dryer is said to offer an "ultra fast" drying time, with some beauty fans saying that it takes "less than 10 minutes."
Diamond infused ceramic and super ionic technology work together to eliminate static and frizz, all while providing that sought-after shine, leaving hair sleek, smooth and glossy every time.

Product Description
The styling tool is completed with three heat and two speed settings, alongside a true cold shot. Meanwhile, the added diffuser is ideal for enhancing natural curly hair types, providing that effortless bounce and volume.
Amazon is not the only retailer offering impressive deals, as we have noticed that Boots has slashed the cost of this Enigma Precision Hair Dryer, complete with multiple attachments, from £199.9 to £99.99 - saving £100 overall.
Over at Argos, another budget-friendly option that can still provide those salon results from home is this Remington PROluxe Hair Dryer with Diffuser that is priced at £37.49.
Back to the BaByliss Hair Dryer, as it has been singled out as an 'Amazon Choice' product with a 4.6 rating based on over 4,000 reviews from shoppers who have said it provides "true salon quality" and "gives Dyson a run for its money."
A happy customer said: "Truly salon quality, makes my long hair shine and less frizzy! My hair - 70cm in length - can be easily dried with this amazing hair dryer within 20 mins. The best!"
Someone else remarked: "I bought this hair dryer for my wife who says it's 'amazing'. Compared to her older model bought over a decade ago, this was more powerful, instant heat, quieter and makes her hair look and feel silky smooth."
Beauty deal of the week
Get multiple benefits for the skin by taking advantage of this 53 percent discount on the unique L'Oreal Paris serum.
The firm's breakthrough Age Defying Serum Le Duo provides the benefits of two serums in just one pump, being the only bottle on the market to target firmness, radiance and the appearance of wrinkles.
Right now, it can be yours for just £17.95 when bought on Amazon. Since a 30ml bottle usually retails £37.99, it offers an incredible £20 saving - but the deal will only be around for a limited time.
This dual-function serum has been hailed as "a breakthrough innovation from L'Oréal labs", with the beloved brand suggesting it has been clinically proven to "reverse up to five years of wrinkles."
In one chamber, there is a collagen Peptide Booster to rebuild firmness and smooth out wrinkles, while the other boasts powerhouse vitamins B3 and C to reignite radiance and even out skin tone.
Said to be suitable for all skin types, even sensitive, this serum has been lauded for its "non greasy" texture that doesn't leave any residue on the skin or cause that dreaded 'pilling' when combined with other skincare products.
Boasting a 4.3 rating in total, one review read: "A second satisfied customer said: "This serum is a game-changer! It leaves my skin feeling hydrated, smoother, and visibly radiant. A luxurious treat that's worth every drop."
Don't miss Amazon's 53 percent discount on the Age Defying Serum Le Duo (30ml) that is now £17.95, down from £37.99.
Another pleased shopper added: "Very powerful hairdryer and great for bringing out my natural curls without the frizz in under 10 minutes.
"The recommended setting is only slightly warm but at least it doesn't cause heat damage. Very pleased and would highly recommend."
A few reviews have found the hair dryer to be quite heavy during styling time, with one three-star review reading: "Good product and quality but it's too heavy and every now and then I have to stop to dry my hair as my arm hurts."
Someone who compared it to Dyson raved: "The best hairdryer I have purchased. Gives Dyson a run for their money and in comparison it's a tenth of the price. Great control of temperature and power."
The BaByliss Platinum Hair Dryer and Diffuser Set is now half-price at £32.4 on Amazon now.
