Evy The Boss Dryer with Diffuser (Pearl)

A 2400 watt salon dryer, supplied here in pearl with the diffuser included. It is built for the way a dryer gets used behind the chair rather than in a bathroom — long cord, controls you can find without looking, and parts made to survive being picked up and put down forty times a day.

The build

• 2400 watts — full salon power.
• Ceramic grill — Evy specifies ceramic at the intake for longer life.
• Anti-slip numbered controls — the settings are numbered and textured, so you can change them by feel mid-blow-dry.
• Cool shot button — for setting a section once it is dry and shaped.
• Flexible 3 metre cord — reaches around the chair and across to the basin.
• Italian parts, assembled in Italy — made without toxic paints, with components Evy states are 100% recyclable.

What's in the box

The dryer, two nozzles and the diffuser. The BOSS Silencer, which takes the place of the filter to cut running noise, is a separate accessory.

Worth knowing

Evy backs it with a 24 month warranty. Evy does not publish a weight or a breakdown of the heat and speed settings for this model. As with any salon dryer, clear the lint off the filter regularly — a blocked intake is the fastest way to shorten a motor's life.
