Sunbeam
has released some of the best and most stylish hair care related
accessories we have seen on the market to date and we have been
test driving and reviewing some of them right here on Virtualhaircare.com

We
often get asked this question by our visitors:
"What
make of blow dryer or other hair care electrical goods can I buy
over the counter that offers a similar reliability and quality
to that used by my hairdresser but without the substantial cost"?
The
new Sunbeam range is the answer to that question, delivering professional
quality performance with great looks. They also make perfect gifts,
whatever the season. Here are the latest products.
The
Ionic range of hairdryers are the perfect styling tool
for all hair types. Ideal for hair that's exposed to regular
blow-drying, they are specifically designed to minimise frizz.
Destined to be the latest hair accessory, Sunbeam
Salon Technique comes in two models: a 2000-watt dryer
in pearlescent silver with 3 heat and two speed settings and two
1800-watt dryers in either pearlescent ivory with two heat and two speed
settings. All dryers feature a cool shot setting.

What do the experts think?
“As good as most professional hairdryers on the market and great value for money. Very powerful in both the power and heat areas and the long cord is a real bonus”. Lee Cohen (Australian Hairdresser of the Year 2004) Reds Salon and Spa Cairns QLD
“Very light (making it easy to use) so it came as quite a shock to turn it on and get the best ever heat and air, very strong. Perfect for diffuse drying curls and waves, in fact this hairdryer is staying in the salon just for that purpose”. Emilaino Vitario eSalon Warronga, Sydney, NSW
"It looks good and is easy to use and the attachments are a great idea. We especially like the way the nozzle and diffuser connect (twist) to the hairdryer itself and the fact it has a hanging hoop to have it hooked in a convenient place is great. The high power allows hair to dry within minutes". Mirella Heuperman Biba Academy, Sydney
"We liked the stylish design, its light weight, the cool shot button to set the new form, the variable fan speed and heat but most of all the ionic technology" Emilio Cataldo, Catalodo's Canberra City ACT
“Plenty of heat, plenty of blow and very good looking” Paul Dare. Dare and Dare Adelaide.
Sunbeam makes a colourful splash in hair styling this season with the launch of two brightly coloured Headlines hairdryers. Taking the lead from fashion catwalks, the new dryers offer a choice of playful cherry red or elegant olive green with a unique and striking iridecent finish and are deliciously soft to touch.

The cherry-red Headlines 1800w Dryer with Soft Touch Handle is a cool way to start the day. With two heat and speed settings and a cool shot setting it blow-dries hair fast with a minimum of fuss. RRP: $34.95

plates are just the best way to straighten your hair without damaging

..........joining the popular ionic technology range of hairdryers and stylers is the Salon Technique Wet to Dry Straightener. This is the very first wet to dry straightener that also encorporates ionic technology and is set to revolutionise hair styling. Not only can it be used on either wet or dry hair, but the combination of ceramic plates and ionic technology ensures frizz and static is reduced, resulting in shiny, straight and healthy locks. Like all styling products in the Salon Technique range, the Wet to Dry Straightener features a fashionable brushed stainless finish. It also has a LED temperature control that can be adjusted to ensure the correct temperature is used for the hair's thickness. Available from department stores and electronic retailers, the Wet to Dry straightener comes either with full-size plate for longer, thicker hair or slim-line for shorter hair or to achieve flicks and curls.

What
the experts thought:
Mick
Luppino of Luppino's Hairdressing
in Sydney reviewed the Sunbeam
Salon Finish Pro
"We
found the unit light and easy to use. Its added features
like the cool button and the diffuser were its best points.
We also liked the power point plug which made it very
easy to pull in and out of the socket. The design is very
modern and even small enough for travel. All in all it
handled well".

What
the experts thought:
Tracey
Hughes and Paula of the multi-award winning Meika
Hair in Melbourne, took some time to check out the Sunbeam
Salon Finish Heated Rollers.
"The
design is fantastic, good quality and very durable. The
hot rollers also look great with a neat and attractive layout
that is easy to use. The best points are the different roller
sizes and pin holders, we also liked the velvet on the inside
of the rollers. All in all we found them very easy to use,
we give the rollers 10 out of 10".
