While Dyson’s hair tools are game-changers, they’re not exactly easy on the wallet. While there’s no shortage of brands on Amazon claiming to be “Dyson dupes,” one hair dryer has consistently earned praise for giving the pricey styling device a run for its money.

Regularly $100 and up, Laifen’s Swift hair dryer is among the best Dyson Supersonic alternatives loved by Hollywood beauty pros. Celebrity hairstylist Dior Sovoa recently used the hair dryer on Mariah Carey to prep her tresses during her Christmas Tour, calling the device “remarkably fast” and “whisper-quiet.”

For a limited time, Laifen’s entire lineup of hair dryers is up to 30 percent off, including the same exact tool used on the music icon. The Laifen Swift high-speed hair dryer with the magnetic smooth nozzle is on sale for $111.99, while the special-edition set with three magnetic accessories (including concentrator, diffuser and smooth nozzles) is marked down to only $127.99 in select colorways.
Over at Target, the Laifen Swift hair dryer with three accessories is on sale for under $100 — or 25 percent off the retail price. (The brand is also stocked at Nordstrom and Best Buy.)
Laifen SE Swift Hair Dryer in White
$97.99 $129.99 25% off
The 1400-watt Laifen Swift hair dryers feature a brushless motor that operates 110,000 rpm with a windspeed of 22m per second and at a sound level of 59dB. For comparison, Dyson says the 1600-watt V9 motor in its hair tools operates at 77 decibels and spins at 110,000 rpm with an airflow of 13l/second. The Dyson Supersonic weights 1.8 pounds (not counting the accessories), while the Laifen Swift is under one pound — making it a great travel-friendly option.
Similar to the Dyson Supersonic, Laifen’s hair dryer is equipped with a thermo-control microprocessor that monitors and adjusts the air temperature to ensure that your tresses aren’t exposed to and damaged by extreme heat, and it also delivers negative ions to keep your strands silky and frizz-free. The latest Swift model adjusts heat up to 100 times per second, while the Swift SE is half that amount. (Dyson says its heat sensor adjusts over 40 times per second.)

A three-color LED ring light indicator displays the temperature settings from cold to up to 80 (from cold, warm to hot air). The Laifen devices also have a removable magnetic filter that keeps hair from getting tangled in the air duct.
But don’t just take our word for it: Recent buyers also compared Laifen’s hair dryer to their own experiences using Dyson.
“I love this blow dryer have been using it for a while now in the salon setting due to wanting to find an alternative to my Dyson that was comparable! Plus it’s purple and matches all my stuff,” writes reviewer Kristen.
Writes reviewer J. Willetts, “This dryer is amazing & just as good as a Dyson. Way cheaper than a Dyson, thankfully! My hair is curly and the diffuser works so well, my curls are beautiful for at least two days with minimal product needed in between. Don’t waste your money on the Dyson, get this!”
