For African-American women especially who have relaxed shoulder-length hair, wash and sets create much less damage than blow-drying followed by curling irons (direct heat and stress, followed by more direct heat and stress). The drawback, though, is the time spent under the dryer. Longer, porous hair (like mine) can take a minimum of 90 minutes drying time with other standard chair dryers, even at the salon. Add to that the 1 or so hour spent prior on the shampoo, conditioning, and actual hair setting process, and you're talking about a 3 hour total investment, which does not include any wait time before you're actually seated for your hair service. So, I cannot understate what a huge deal it is that the Pibbs Kwik Dri cuts that drying time in half, from 90 minutes to 45 minutes. What this means:
1. I can now exercise the option to wash and set my hair on weekday mornings before work, if I have to, just by waking up an hour or so earlier than I would normally. This was an impossibility before, unless I wanted to set my alarm for 3:30am.
2. I can now schedule dates and other social events on the same days I sweat my hair out at the gym, without having to worry about not having enough time in between to re-do my hair.
3. Psychological barriers to washing and setting my hair at home have been removed. The prospect of sitting under the dryer for 90 minutes after struggling with the setting process, contributed to the overall dread in facing this task. This was made all the worse by the knowledge that your end result - using cheaper dryers which would not dry the hair evenly, or get as hot - would fall way short of the salon outcome. As a result, I avoided the whole process, which meant my skill level in setting my own hair never improved, which just created a vicious cycle that would drive me back to the salon for the professional setting results I wanted and needed. But now, because my hair only takes 45 minutes to dry with the Pibbs Kwik Dri, and I am assured of a positive, professional outcome for the time spent, I am more motivated to set my own hair at home, which means I do it more often, which means my setting skill level improves, which means with every week that passes I'm able to consistently achieve the same or better results at home (with the products of my choice), which keeps me out of the salon, and money in my pocket.
Bottom line: no other dryer on the market, or even in salons, comes close, and I've gone through my fair share for home use, the most recent being the Virgo CD320 salon dryer. What makes the Pibbs Kwik Dri 514 so effective is (a) the super hot settings, and (b) the unique hood design that extends all the way down the back, and around all sides, trapping in the heat and keeping it from escaping out the bottom, so that it circulates evenly from top roller to back roller. Note that to use this comfortably, as others have mentioned, you definitely need to get foam ear protectors, and wear some kind of light towel around your neck, to protect it from the heat. You can always adjust the heat downward, but that sort of defeats the purpose of the quick drying results. Just suck it up, keep it on the next to highest heat setting (60), and protect your ears/skin, and you'll be fine. Another benefit is that it's so easy to move from room to room, and the hood height can be adjusted on the stand to fit most any chair setup. I use it with my existing living room armchair, and the castor wheels on the base roll comfortably under so that I can sit back in luxurious comfort with my feet on the ottoman, and still have the dryer hood extend, or overhang, comfortably over the back of the chair.
Don't even get me started on the $120 or so dollars I'm saving every month by doing my own hair, or the fact that I'm no longer a slave to my stylist's schedule and availability. She now sees me only for rare cuts, color treatments or (relaxer) touch-ups. Overall, I am 100% satisfied with the quality and performance of this dryer, and have recommended it to everyone I know. You will forget all about the initial investment once you start reaping the immediate benefits mentioned above, and realize that you can't put a price on your valuable time. I can always earn back the $300 I spent on this, but I'll never be able to get back the time I lost or wasted previously (not to mention lost "quality of life" opportunities where I could have been engaged in other enjoyable activities), associated with this process.
It dries my long hair so quickly!
I often use rollers or other methods to style and this dryer saves so much time! Easy to put together and easy to use! Love it!
-dries your hair so fast!! It dries my long and thick hair in 1 hour 20mins! The dryer is was using before (Kiss 1875 Bonnet Dryer) it would take me 3 hours to dry my hair.
-dries my entire head evenly! - also a big deal as previous one did not dry the rollers at the bottom since air only came from top
-pretty quiet (again comparing with previous one). This model is used by some Dominican salons I’ve seen. That means it’s good!
-efficient with use of heat. Doesn’t leave the room hot at all, as the flow of air recycles and goes up and not down
-can use with big rollers - I use up to 3” magnetic rollers (although a bit tough to get in- lol). I’m using 2,2.5 and 3” rollers in the picture
-can control the heat and doesn’t need the highest setting- very comfortable heat to dry for the time I mentioned above
Cons:
-came without instructions (at least mine)- but found instructions online to set up
-came with 2 minor scratches on the hood
-one of the wheels comes off when moving from closet to the room I do my hair. It hasn’t come off during drying as it this ore moving
Overall I love it and regret not getting it sooner. I wasted so much time with the previous one.

Overall I love it and regret not getting it sooner. I wasted so much time with the previous one.
Pros:
1. Full air circulation. Drys front, back and sides
2. Multiple temp settings
3. Adjustable height and movable
4. Less drying time
5. Doesn’t dry out your hair or make it frizzy.
6. Curls hold and look fab
Cons
1. The price is a beast BUT well worth it
2. Came only with instructions for the base
3. Upward air flow is a little annoying so you need to be careful but not deal breaker
4. If you set the timer to wrong time, you can not adjust. You either roll with it or unplug and start again. Again not a deal breaker.
Over all, I would say it is worth every penny.
