Below is an interpretation of an interview with the Parlux HQ
Q: For thirty years Parlux has been synonymous with quality and reliability in the production of professional hair dryers for salon owners. How have you build up this reputation of excellence? What did you concentrate on from the very start?
A: Ever since Parlux was founded in 1978, Parlux has had as its main objective the studying and development of the real technical demands of hairdressers. So that Parlux can produce electronic appliances that guarantee reliability, quality and duration.
Over the years, research and development on new technologies applied to this sector has allowed us to produce different models of hairdryers that, due to their innovative characteristics for example design, material, lightness and reliability of the product which far exceeded the current standards compared to the other products on the market. Parlux quality and performance was immediately appreciated by both Italian hairdressers and salon professionals worldwide.
We can proudly say that for these reasons, some of these models such us the Parlux 2800, the Parlux 3000 and the Super Compact 3200 rapidly became best sellers not only in Italy but also in many other countries in the world.
Q: How important is research for a company like Parlux?
A: As mentioned just now, it is more important than ever to pay attention on the quality of products that Parlux produces for the benefit of the hairdresser.
The Parlux Research Centre and our technical laboratory have been created to precisely to develop new technologies to be applied to professional hairdryers, developed exclusively for the professional hairdresser who has to use them all day, every day in the salon. For example, our hairdryers, which are tested day by day, week by week, for many hours on mechanical robots. These simulates the human arm movement, as far as the ergonomic aspect is concerned, Parlux hairdryers have a special balancing action that allows the hairdressers to hold the hairdryer all day long without being excessively tired. All Parlux hairdryers are also extremely light (thanks to the development of ultra-light weight and silent motors) and are well known for their extremely long life (Parlux guarantee no less 2000 hours of work!)
Q: Is the concept of “Made in Italy” as important as ever?
A: There is no doubt that Italian production is very important in this sector. With Parlux in particular, the products are much more reliable because they are made, certified and tested as having exclusively Italian components. Parlux hairdryers have a modern and ergonomic design and are recognized all over the world as probably the most reliable, professional hair dryer you can buy.
Q: Can you tell us something about your Parlux international distributors? Are you
satisfied or do you have still objectives to reach?
A: Our Parlux brand is known and distributed in 65 countries all over the world! This is through local distributors who mostly know their salon customer personally. They have been our invaluable partners and they help us to better understand the professional requirements of the stylist in the different countries through direct feedback from professionals.
Q: Do you have any new products? What features are innovative?
A: Parlux have developed brand new hairdryer innovations which are extremely compact, light weight and very powerful. They combine the use of ceramic coated components with negative ion generators. These features were already developed on one of our previous models (Parlux 3200 Ceramic & Ionic edition) which ensure fast and perfect drying for any type of styling in the salon. These newer models, like the new Parlux 3500 super compact Ceramic & Ionic Edition and the 3800 Eco Friendly can be considered the future of the professional hairdryers and are at the cutting edge of hair dryer technology. Home users in particular love these light weight, high performance hair dryers.
Counterfeiting
Parlux, the world renowned Italian–manufacturer of professional hairdryers, has been fighting for many years a successful battle against counterfeit copies of their well-known hairdryers. At Simply Hair and Beauty we believe in the slogan "if it seems too good to be true it usually is!" Do not buy Parlux from any non-official source!
Simply Hair and Beauty are supplied exclusively by the Australian Distributor Dateline Imports for all Parlux Models which are shipped directly from Italy and we absolutely warrant the authenticity of all our Parlux hairdryers.
Parlux Italy report that many identical or similar copies of Parlux’s most popular hair dryers are available on the International market. With vigorous policing, most have been withdrawn and counterfeiting manufacturing companies in China have been forced by law to immediately terminate their production and trade. In addition, a company working in the Chinese province of Zhejiang, already sanctioned in 2007 because counterfeiting a Parlux hairdryer model, was forced by the domestic Intellectual Property Office to completely destroy the moulds of the counterfeiting Parlux 3500 hairdryer and undertake the fact they won’t produce any more copies, or advertise and sell also on the internet.
During the International Cosmoprof trade fair 2011 also, Parlux once again discovered copies of their hairdryers being presented and sold by some foreign exhibitors. As in past year, the Guardia di Finanza, a specially trained branch of the Italian Police, intervened and confiscated these counterfeit products and all documents pertaining to them.
Thanks to the positive results already obtained, Parlux will continue to fight this strenuous and time consuming battle against the counterfeiters of their most important products thus helping the Italian national campaign of defending the proud claim “made in Italy”.
Parlux 3500 Super Compact Ceremic & Ionic in 'Pink' ($144.95AUD)
Product type: available in red, pink blue, silver, black, purple, gold and pearl, this hair dryer is of compact/travel size, delivers 73 cubic meters of air per hour and up to 2000 Watts of power. Packaged with 2 unbreakable nozzles, a 10 foot cord with safety plug and the standard 1 year warranty.
After hearing about the wonders of owning your own Parlux hair dryer, I finally bit the bullet and purchased my own...I wanted to be like the 'cool kids' and own a professional salon-grade hair dryer.
For years I have used a renown' budget' brand which has been a great asset but it is now time to move on to something that acts faster and performs more efficiently. Sure the price tag is steep but how much would you pay for a good hair straightener... $200+ I hear you say. So why compromise on the equally important hair dryer?
For me, I wash my long hair every two-three days and always blow dry to help rid excess water from my hair strands. I personally HATE washing my hair because it is so time consuming and with my old hair dryer it would take me about 15-20 minutes to get my hair to a point where I could leave the rest to dry. Now it takes me 5-10 minutes to blow dry my hair to a point where I can leave the reast to air dry which is so handy for me and my busy lifestyle. If you too lead a busy lifestyle then seriously consider a Parlux 3500 because they are fantastic (they really are) plus it comes in pink which I just adore.
When I used my 3500 Supercompact Ceremic & Ionic hair dryer for the first time, I did not seem to realise the difference between this and my hardworking cheapy. However when I compare the quality and performance with my other one Parlux 3500 wins hands-down. I became impatient with my previous hair dryer and felt as though the power, the heat and the force of the dryer was not nearly half as good as my Parlux 3500.
The hair dryer includes the patented Ceramic & Ionic system which helps hair with the maintaining of moisture as well as smoothing hair from roots to tip. When handling a Parlux 3500 Supercompact for the first time, I honestly almost nearly dropped it because the heat and speed options are along the handle and I could not get used to the feel of the bulky handle but because the product is so sleek and small, I can see why it was created this way and am now accustomed to it.
If the fact that Parlux is used in most hair salons does not impress you, then its features will:
A three-metre long cord is perfect for those with power points in strange areas and dodging every day objects in the bathrooms.
There are two heat and two speed settings but being the impatient person that I am, I only use the highest setting for both. Parlux 3500 is not for the feint hearted - I have burned my scalp and face a few times because theheat is quite intense when left on an area for too long.
I use one of the two nozzles provided to give my hair a more targeted blow dry.
With over 2,000 watts of power, Parlux 3500 Supercompact is a powerful hair styling too.
Best of all, it contains a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (mind you, I doubt this will be required as a friend of mine has had hers for 7 years now).
With a wonderful range of colours to choose from and years of experience in the hair industry, Parlux hair dryers are not only reliable but also a way of the future and I highly recommend them.
From : pinkdivabeauty
Pros: I have had my parlux 3200 hairdryer for over 2 years now - it is fabulous.
All the hairdressers (top and mid) in London generally have this brand as their salon hairdryer - getting extensive use.
My hairdresser recommended this brand to me.
Cons: what is not to like.. best hairdryer I have every bought
Overall: Fabulous - would recommend this brand to everyone. Dries hair fast - is powerful (so doesn't burn/ruin your hair by over heating it to dry it like normal/cheaper hair dryers). works well with a diffuser.. is essential to any girls kit.
From : ozchickybabe
Pros: Drys hair fast, leaves hair lovely and smooth, it relatively light weight
Cons: Heating element stopped working only 1 week or so after warranty expired,
compared to my prior less expensive dryer that lasted years i am not happy at all.
Overall: Performance excellent, drys fast, leaves hair shiney and smooth - but breaking down after only 1 year longevity not so good.
