Best hooded dryer?

[PinkLily]

I really need to get one for my rollersets. I'm probably going to go to Sally's tonight or tomorrow. What brand would you ladies recommend? (p.s. I have a big head so I need something where my head will fit w/ rollers ) Do they come in different sizes too? TIA!

PIBBS 514 or what I have 518 (currently made by Parlux).

The 514 is HOT and fast. The 518 is not hot, but has a big hood and is super fast.

ETA: Most dryers have a standard hood size. There are some that have a larger hood, but with most of this equipment, you pay alot more for those amenities.

Thanks Webby! Do you know if those are available at Sally's? Any suggestions from anyone else?

I love my Lady Dazey but I was told that they stopped making them. I don't think the PIBBS is available at Sallys, or at least I've never seen it at mine. You might want to try the ION or GoldnHot.. those are the only ones I know of that are sold at Sallys.

Pibbs is great. Contact the maker, Petrucelli Beauty Supply, directly. Do a google search. The Pibbs will pay itself off in less than a year when you check out how much you spend going to the salon for a touchup. A lot of the salons in my area use the Kwik Dri, so I bought it and saved myself the cost of going to the salon so often.

You can order PIBBS at Sallys with free shipping.

Actually Sally's does sell Pibbs 512 and 514. The Parlux is available through Pibbs Institute, but it's $545. I got mine for $279.

You are not lying.
I thought that I was doing something grand when I purchased my Venus Highlander commercial dryer
It was ok, but I spent twice as much time under that thing that I do under the Pibbs. Thanks to CaramelHone and Honi I started to see the light

Yep pibbs 514 !!! I got mine for $100 -- ebay. It's a miracle worker. I can just barely fit in with 24 bright purple/fuschia magnetic rollers with snap on covers

Do any of these have a cool setting? I want a dryer with a cool setting, unsure about how many out there have it...

I'm pretty sure that the Pibbs does. I know that the Venus Highlander does, but again...it takes a lot longer to dry.

The Pibbs has a temperature setting up to 70... i have never gone below 60 although i am sure the lower you go, the cooler the air.
