Amazing Hairdryer
This hairdryer is a replacement of my older VS and it is amazing. Drys my hair really quick and is easier to use.

High Powered
Due to its high power, it dries my hair quickly which is great. My one negative is that the lowest setting is still too strong, it needs a gentle setting for the finer parts of my hair...... overall I'm happy

Not enough control of air flow
It would be a great item but the air flow is too much for me on the lowest setting with the diffuser. It blows my curls around too much with the diffuser attached. Only having two air flows but three heat settings was disappointing. I have shorter hair perhaps would suit Longer hair. Great that you can use hot of cold, the lowest warm setting is perfect. Apart from not having a lower air flow setting its a good hair dryer. This product would have been a 5 star, but only having 2 air flow settings was a let down.

At a glance
The VS Sassoon 5Q Brilliance is a lightweight, high performance hair dryer designed for faster drying, smoother results and easier everyday handling. It suits users who want strong airflow, frizz control and flexible styling attachments, including a diffuser for curls. Its balanced 508 g design helps reduce arm fatigue during longer sessions. One limitation is that it offers solid styling control, but not the broader customisation or ultra-quiet operation of more premium salon-focused dryers.
What it’s great for
- Fast everyday drying
- Frizz reduction
- Curl diffusing
- Smooth blow-drying
- General home styling
Where it works best
- Home bathroom
- Shared household
- Apartment living
- Regular daily styling routines
Who it’s for
- Everyday home user
- Thick hair user
- Frizz-prone hair user
- Curly hair user
- Time-conscious styler
Things to consider
It delivers strong drying performance and useful attachments, but premium salon dryers may offer more heat and speed customisation, quieter operation or lower overall weight.
Salon quality suitability
Suitable for advanced home styling and occasional salon-like results
Travel friendliness score
4/10 - lightweight for its class, but full-size design and no folding handle make it less convenient for travel.
Noise level vs category
6/10 - performance-focused airflow may sound typical to slightly assertive versus standard full-size dryers.
Ease of use rating
8/10 - lightweight build, balanced handling and straightforward controls make daily use comfortable.
Frizz control performance
8/10 - ionic conditioning helps smooth flyaways and improve finish on frizz-prone hair.
Key benefits
- 150 km/h airflow: helps dry hair faster, which can shorten styling time for busy daily routines.
- Ionic conditioning system: helps reduce visible frizz and supports a smoother finish.
- Lightweight 508 g body: feels easier to hold and control during longer drying sessions.
- Balanced handling design: improves comfort and helps reduce hand and arm strain while styling.
- Diffuser attachment: supports curl definition and gentler airflow for textured hair.
- Ultra-slim concentrator: directs airflow more precisely for smoothing and targeted styling.
- Three heat settings and two speed settings: gives practical control for different hair types and styling needs.
- 2.8 m cord: provides extra reach and flexibility when styling away from the power point.
Q: Is the lowest setting gentle enough for fine hair?
A: It can be, but this dryer is tuned for strong airflow rather than an ultra-gentle mode. Use the lowest heat and speed for finer sections, and the diffuser if you want softer airflow than the concentrator gives.
Q: How noisy is the 5Q Brilliance hair dryer in use?
A: VS Sassoon 5Q Brilliance uses a Quietone air intake system to reduce noise during drying. It is not a silent dryer, but it is designed to sound less harsh than a typical full-size performance model.
Q: Does this dryer come with a diffuser and concentrator nozzle?
A: Yes. The VS Sassoon 5Q Brilliance includes a diffuser for gentler, more spread-out airflow and an ultra-slim concentrator for targeted smoothing. That gives you two distinct styling options straight out of the box.
Q: Is the VS Sassoon 5Q Brilliance good for curly hair?
A: Yes. The included diffuser supports curl shape and spreads airflow more gently, which suits curly, wavy and thick hair. It still uses strong drying performance, so lower heat and speed settings are the better starting point.
Q: Will the cord reach if my power point is away?
A: Yes. This model has a 2.8 m cord, which gives more reach around a bathroom vanity or dressing area than shorter cords. It is useful if the nearest power point is off to the side, while keeping your setup more flexible.
Q: Can it do smooth blow-dries as well as quick drying?
A: Yes. The ultra-slim concentrator focuses airflow for smoothing and shaping, while the higher speed settings suit faster rough drying. It gives practical control for home styling, but not the fine-tuning of more premium dryers.
