Panasonic's ‘better than ghd and Dyson' folding hair dryer has 58% off

Daily Mirror08-05-2025

In a flash sale, Amazon has slashed the price of Panasonic's folding hair dryer by a huge 58% and shoppers say it rivals cult haircare brands like ghd and Dyson
If you're looking to upgrade your current hair dryer, you're in luck as Amazon has kicked off its Tech Week with amazing discounts on hundreds of items. And what caught our eye was the Panasonic H-NA9J Advanced Folding Hair Dryer with Diffuser.
Originally priced at £189.99, this handy hair dryer is currently better than half price at £79.99. The best part is that it folds away neatly and compactly, making it perfect for travelling.
More than just a hair dryer that blows hot air, it's specially designed to tackle the everyday signs of hair damage like frizz, dryness, and split ends. Thanks to clever Nanoe and Double Mineral tech, it helps lock in moisture, boost shine, and actually reduce damage over time. So your hair ends up looking healthier with every use.
There are also three speed settings, a hot and cold mode for sealing in your style, and three different nozzles, including a diffuser, ideal for those with curly hair.
With an average rating of 4.6 stars and glowing reviews, shoppers have claimed this powerful hair dryer rivals cult brands like Dyson and ghd.
One shopper wrote: 'After a lot of research I settled for the Panasonic and wow what a difference! No more frizziness and no need for straightening irons. My hair is super soft and looks amazing. Not as quiet or light as the Dyson but the results were even better. Finally it's a joy to wash and blow dry my hair- thank you Panasonic!!!!'
And a second added: 'This hair dryer is simply amazing. I have tried the Dyson and the Tineco and both were hotter than the surface of the sun and too aggressive for me and damaged my fine, delicate hair. This is the first hair dryer Ive ever had that 1. didnt damage my hair and 2. actually made my hair look less damaged! My hair looks sleek, glossy and above all, healthy.'
A criticism however is that it's on the heavier side and not great for those who don't have much arm mobility. A reviewer said: 'The only real negative is that it is much heavier than my old hair dryer - I noticed this from the very first use.'

Amazon must face authors' lawsuit over audiobook distribution, US judge rules

June 11 (Reuters) - (AMZN.O), opens new tab must face a lawsuit by independent authors accusing the e-commerce giant of monopolizing the retail market for audiobooks and causing them to overpay for the distribution of their works, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Jennifer Rochon in the federal court in Manhattan rejected, opens new tab for now Amazon's bid to dismiss the proposed class action by author Christine DeMaio, who publishes under the name CD Reiss. Reiss sued last year, alleging Amazon's audiobooks unit Audible violated antitrust law by charging higher distribution fees for independent and self-published writers who decline to participate in a program that makes Amazon the exclusive distributor for books on Audible for 90 days. The program offers self-published authors 40% royalties for book distribution, compared with 25% for authors who chose non-exclusive, competitive distribution. Amazon and Audible did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Amazon has denied any wrongdoing, saying the audiobook market is 'healthy and competitive.' Steve Berman, a lead attorney for Reiss, on Wednesday said they welcomed Rochon's order and looked forward to the next phase of the litigation. Audible is the world's largest audiobook retailer, accounting for more than 60% of domestic purchasing compared with about 20% for Apple, according to the lawsuit. Amazon, in seeking dismissal of the lawsuit, said Reiss had shown no evidence that Audible's program had induced any authors to sign an exclusive deal. Amazon also told Rochon that it was lawful for the company to spend more resources promoting its exclusive content than on other titles. The lawsuit seeks more than $5 million in damages and class action status for thousands of authors. The case is CD Reiss v. U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, No. 2:24-cv-00851.

Leading beauty retailer triggers frenzy with 75% close down sale as it shuts location in days

Ulta Beauty is offering massive discounts at its soon-to-be closed store in Illinois. The retailer is set to close its Chicago store in the Roosevelt Collection Shops area on Saturday after 12 years. Because of this closure, shoppers are rushing to purchase select items available for up to 75 percent off. The beauty chain has not said why this location is closing, but the company has admitted to not being 'immune' to economic pressures. 'Value is an increasingly important priority as they navigate ongoing wallet pressures,' Ulta Beauty CEO Kecia Steelman said in a statement. Factors playing a part of these financial challenges include the growth of online shopping, same-day delivery expectations, and tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. The chain is also facing heavy competition with retailers like Sephora and Bluemercury and e-commerce giants such as LovelySkin and Amazon. Despite the challenges, Ulta Beauty will continue operating over 1,450 locations worldwide after the store closure. Select products are on sale at the soon-to-be-closed for up to 75% off Sales on particular Ulta Beauty products have slowly dipped, and the chain has had a 7 percent decline in customer visits per quarter. However, the chain finished off its first quarter with a significant rise in revenue. The chain's net sales increased by 4.5 percent to $2.8 billion, and its comparable sales rose 2.9 percent. The company credited its comparable sales growth and new store contributions for its 'stronger-than-expected performance.' Steelman also noted the chain's Ulta Beauty Unleashed plan has also played a part in the improvement. 'Our Ulta Beauty Unleashed plan is resonating with guests, energizing our team, and fueling growth' The operating environment is fluid, and our outlook reflects uncertainty around how consumer demand could evolve,' Steelman said. 'We believe our model uniquely positions us to win, and we will continue to focus on serving our guests while staying agile as we move through the year.' Some of the new enhancements that are part of the plan include C-suite appointments and various digital and store upgrades. Ulta Beauty is planning to grow and has managed not to experience mass closures this year. However, some popular retailers weren't so lucky. Torrid recently announced its plan to shutter up to 180 stores following its latest sales decline. Pharmacies have also been suffering financial challenges. Rite Aid is planning to permanently close 111 stores after filing for bankruptcy for the second time. Customers have also gotten makeup and various beauty products from Forever 21, the now-defunct chain that shuttered all stores by last month. Other retailers offering beauty products while hanging on by a thread include Macy's, JCPenney, and Neiman Marcus.
