A new era of Styling with Dyson

The Dyson Supersonic™ r isn’t just another hairdryer; it’s a tool that’s changing the way professionals work. Smaller, lighter, and smarter, it gives stylists more control, more comfort, and more precision, without compromising on power. With intelligent heat control, ergonomic design, and a suite of attachments to suit every hair type, this next-generation innovation has quickly become a must-have in salons worldwide.

We asked Dyson’s Styling Ambassadors, Peter Thomsen, Monique McMahon, Michael Beel, and Gabrielle Roccuzo, to share how the Supersonic™ r is transforming their craft, the expert tips and tricks they rely on, and the feedback they’re hearing straight from the chair. The verdict? A tool that’s as powerful as it is protective, designed to deliver flawless results while keeping hair healthy.

What do you like about the Dyson Supersonic™ r?

The fact that it’s super lightweight makes it comfortable to use all day behind the chair and its compact design makes it easy to move around!

What’s different about it: The ergonomic shape is a game-changer for me, with less strain on my wrists and shoulders. It feels quieter than most dryers, so our salon experience is calmer. I also love the even airflow and wider nozzle, which gives me more control over my styling!

How I like to use it: I love it for many different reasons; I’ve listed some points below.

-The Pro Concentrator is perfect for creating smooth, polished blowouts.

-I love the diffuser for enhancing natural waves and curls without disturbing the pattern.

-Especially love the Flyway attachment to perfect my styling by removing flyways

Expert tips & tricks: The Flyaway attachment is my go-to for finishing sleek buns and ponytails or even polishing the top of a blow-dry. It smooths everything without needing too much product, which has been a game changer for red carpet events and being on set.

Always recommend drying hair 80% with the Gentle Air attachment before switching to the styling Pro Concentrator – it cuts down time and reduces frizz.

Feedback from the chair: Clients always comment on how light and quiet it feels compared to their dryer at home. Many say their hair feels less damaged since swapping to Dyson.

What do you like about the Dyson Supersonic™ r?

This feels like the next movement in how we style hair. I’m obsessed with two things: how lightweight it is and the precision styling it gives me. The finish is gorgeous - smooth, shiny, and healthy-looking. It just makes hair glow.

What’s different about it?

Beyond the shine and finish, the hair still feels alive, full of movement and elasticity. It never looks or feels over-dried or stressed, which is such a game-changer.

How I like to use it
: I start with the Powerful Air attachment to quickly remove excess moisture, it’s so fast and sets me up perfectly for styling. Then I switch to the Pro Concentrator to create that precise, polished finish. It’s become my go-to way of working with the Supersonic r.

Expert tips & tricks: 
The Flyaway attachment is brilliant for slick styles; it smooths everything down without flattening the look. I also love showing clients how to swap attachments depending on the style they want, it makes the tool feel really personal to them.

Feedback from the chair
: The first reaction is always the same: “OMG what is that? Can I hold it?” Clients are blown away by how light it feels and how easy it is to handle. They can’t believe something so lightweight packs that much power, it’s always a fun moment to see their surprise.

What do you like about the Dyson Supersonic™ r?

I adore how much smaller and lighter it is, but it offers the same power that we’ve always loved Dyson for! When you do 8-10 blow-dries a day, I no longer get the tension I used to get in my forearms.

What’s different about it?

The most obvious one is the shape, in all honesty it took me a day or so to get used to it, but now it feels like an extension of my arm, I know that sounds a little hippy, but it’s true lol.

How I like to use it: I love the different attachments, which they have for all hair types, especially the Gentle Air attachment for people with sensitive scalps after a bleach or great for short hair/male clients for using your fingers and

manipulating the texture in with your fingers! But I adore how the attachments stay cool so you can get right in at the hairline when doing a big blowout to make sure you get all those little pesky flyaways.

Experts Tips & tricks: The Flyaway attachment is amazing to run over your sleek hairs to push all those little hairs underneath to give you the most beautiful shine!

Feedback from the chair: Clients are amazed at how little and quiet it is … which does mean you need to talk to them while blow-drying now hahaha.

What do you like about the Dyson Supersonic™ r?

Dyson Supersonic r. Its lightweight design makes it easy to handle during long styling sessions, while the fast-drying technology minimises heat exposure, protecting hair health. The intelligent heat control ensures I can style without worrying about damage. Plus, the variety of settings and attachments allow me to customise the experience for different hair types. Overall, it’s a fantastic tool that elevates the drying and styling process.

What’s different about it?

The difference definitely is the design of the lightweight machine and the intelligent heat control protecting the hair, but also still allowing it to dry quite quickly. There’s nothing else like it on the market.

How I like to use it: Depending on the hair type for the day, I find the attachments, like the Smoothing Nozzle, perfect for achieving that polished finish. It has truly transformed my styling experience and finish result. The shine is definitely a big factor, allowing the cuticle to smooth, which reflects healthy hair.

Experts Tips & tricks: I would definitely say use a variety of the nozzles depending on your finish you are after. A great one is the Flyaway attachment. This is also great for ponytails up-styles to give you a smoother, more polished finish.

Feedback from the chair: The first response from clients when using the Dyson Supersonic r is definitely the design and how small it is. They noticed the power and how fast the tool dries without their scalp feeling too hot and of course, the attachments, all the different attachments available for different finishes.
