Pinching pennies? These hair dryers from Priceline make compromising on luxury easy
A budget-friendly choice worth bragging about
Considering we're pinching pennies in every other aspect of our lives (cost of living crisis 'tings y'know?), why wouldn't our collection of hair tools be under scrutiny?
Hands up who's sold all their exxy beauty tools in lieu of more affordable options in order to pay off an electricity bill or two... No, just us? Look, we'd feel some type of way about it all if it wasn't for the fact that there are so many reputable hair styling options available at our local Priceline.
In our opinion, the only thing that feels better than using a Dyson Airwrap is getting a similar result with a hair tool that costs a mere fraction of the price.
So with cost-saving in mind and a resourceful attitude (always) we've taken the liberty of finding the very best hair dryers that are stocked at your local Priceline nonetheless.

Does Priceline sell hairdryers?
Yes, Priceline sells hairdryers. The discount pharmacy stocks a wide range of hair dryers (and other hair tools) from well-known hair brands such as VS Sassoon and Remington at affordable prices. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a hair dryer at Priceline that's more than $100.
Is there really a difference between hair dryers?
Unfortunately there is a bit of a difference between hair dryers, and because the market is so competitive it's often hard to distinguish what constitutes as a "good" hair dryer. If you want to minimise heat damage as much as possible, then leaders in heat-free hair tools, Dyson, are likely your best bet. However, if speed is of paramount importance, then a hair dryer that prioritises grunt over controlled heat settings might be a better option. Budget-friendly hair dryers are also in abundance these days, with many boasting technologies that emulate higher end devices without the hefty price tag.
