Is the Dyson Supersonic R Worth the Investment? A Stylist's Honest Review

Updated: Sep 20

As professional hairdressers, our role requires using tools that not only deliver exceptional results but also enhance our efficiency and comfort, particularly in the dynamic and fast-paced setting of a salon.


The arrival of the new Dyson Supersonic R marks a significant development in our field, prompting us to evaluate its performance and features over a dedicated four-month period. This innovative hair tool has generated considerable interest among our team, encouraging us to test its capabilities and compare them to the original Dyson model we’ve previously relied on.

Our stylists have been thoroughly impressed by the advancements and improvements incorporated into the Dyson Supersonic R. Its refined design elements and upgraded functionalities have streamlined our styling processes, allowing us to work with greater precision and speed.

After four months of using the Dyson Supersonic R Singapore based hair salon, we are ready to share our feedback and compare it to the original Supersonic model. Here are our stylists' insights:


Quicker Drying Time with the Dyson Hairdryer

Stylist 1:"After four months with the Supersonic R Blow Dryer, I’ve noticed about a 10% improvement in drying time compared to the older model. This may seem small, but over the course of a busy day in the salon, those saved minutes really add up!"


Is the Dyson hair dryer light?

Stylist 2:"The first thing that struck me was how much lighter the Supersonic R feels. When I pick up the old one now, it feels shockingly heavy in comparison. This new lightweight design is a game changer for long styling sessions—it’s just easier on the arms and wrists."


Innovative Shape for Stylists

Stylist 3:"Initially, I wasn’t sure about the R’s unique shape. I thought clients might not be able to get used to it. But after using it a few times, I now understand why it’s designed this way. The shape allows for better control at any angle during a blow-dry, even when using the diffuser. It really protects our hands from strain, which is so important in this line of work."


Ideal for Precision and Protection

Stylist 4:"The Supersonic R’s size and shape make it easy to handle and allow me to blow-dry close to the scalp with precision. I’m also a fan of the low heat settings—it’s gentle on both hair and scalp, which is perfect for clients with sensitive skin or fine hair."

What We Didn’t Love about the Dyson Supersonic R


While the Dyson Supersonic R has a lot going for it, there are a few downsides we noticed during our months of use:

  • Attachment Dependency: The new Supersonic R can’t be started without an attachment. In a busy salon, this extra step can slow us down. Sometimes, we just need to grab the dryer and get going, but now we have to ensure an attachment is always in place.

  • Thick Power Cord: Although the dryer itself is super lightweight, the cord is quite thick. This occasionally creates a bit of recoil when moving around, which can be frustrating during fast-paced styling sessions.

  • Colour Preference: The Supersonic R comes in a new professional version colourway, but many of us still prefer the classic black and grey. It’s a minor gripe, but those neutral shades tend to fit better with different salon aesthetics.


Experience It First-Hand
