Boots is offering beauty lovers a special deal on a popular hair styler branded “the best ever” by fans where they can get 20% of their spend back.
Shoppers can currently get £60 back on their Advantage Card when they buy the Shark FlexStyle, a five-in-one hair dryer and styler complete with curler, brush, concentrator and diffuser attachments as well as a storage case. Priced at £299.99, the bestselling styler has been compared to the Dyson Airwrap – which would set you back £399.99 by comparison – and promises more smoothness and shine with less frizz and fewer fly-aways.
The FlexStyle is equipped with three heat and airflow settings as well as a Cool Shot setting to lock in your style, as well as a comfortable “ultra-lightweight” design just under 700g – and a handy Hair Styling Guide is included in the box for inspiration too. The styler has earned rave reviews from beauty fans, earning an overall score of 4.3 out of five stars based on more than 500 reviews on the Shark website.
One shopper praised in a five-star review: “Endless hairstyles – just amazing! I have naturally curly hair and I can create a sleek smooth blow dry effortlessly. The bonus is that your hair stays frizz-free even when humidity is high.”
Another customer agreed: “Best hair gadget ever! In my opinion this is well worth the money. So impressed with how it’s made my hair look. Quite surprised just how powerful it is – it’s really given my hair a bouncy blow out.”
A third person said: “I am in love with how shiny my hair is left using this product. Curls normally fall out of my hair quickly, but curling my hair whilst damp and allowing it to cool correctly with the Cool Shot my hair stayed all day and the compliments I got were lovely.”
And someone else raved: “I can’t not live with this beautiful set, it’s a must. Best thing I have ever gotten in my life. It actually feels like I have had a professional blow dry.”
However, a few reviewers complained that they experienced some faults with their Flexstyle including the button “falling off”. A handful of others felt it was “too hard” to use the attachments or that they “weren’t very effective”.
It’s worth noting that the FlexStyle is available for a cheaper price – Superdrug shoppers with a loyalty card can get the same five-in-one package offered as part of the Boots Advantage Card deal for £269.99, while Boots itself is also offering a four-in-one version of the FlexStyle (without the diffuser and storage case) for £269.99, the same price as on Amazon. However, given that the spend you’ll get back on your Advantage Card is double this saving, it’s worth snapping up the Boots deal if you have your eye on the styler to get the most for your money.
If you don’t have an Advantage Card, you can sign up for one for free on the Boots website. As well as unlocking 10% off all Boots brands as well as exclusive savings on hundreds of other beauty products, you will also collect three points for every £1 you spend, with every 100 points worth £1 – meaning without the special offer, the Flexstyle would usually get you just £9 back on your card.
However, there’s no denying that £300 is a lot to splash out on a hair styler – and there are some cheaper alternatives to the likes of Shark and Dyson available at Boots. One popular budget-friendly choice is the BaByliss Hydro-Fusion Anti-Frizz 4 in 1 Hair Dryer Brush, which has a price tag of £80 and comes with four interchangeable brush attachments to help dry, smooth and straighten hair as well as add volume and shape, with two heat settings plus a cool setting.
