Ultra-quiet hair dryer from Velecta Paris: silence, please! We’re blow drying
What if luxury was silence? Well, professional hairdressers aren’t going to tell you otherwise! While they do their utmost to make the environment of their salons warm and relaxing, we need to acknowledge that the constant whirring of hair dryers is not particularly pleasant or comforting. A hair dryer operates at an average of 80 dBA, but there are quiet models – even ultra-quiet models – that can completely transform the sound environment of a salon.
At Velecta Paris, the comfort of professional hairdressers and the quality of the services that our hair dryers help them perform have always been one of our core concerns. That's why all our models are fairly low-noise, and some have even been designed to be ultra-quiet with levels below 70 dBA.
Here we present our different models of hair dryer that are as powerful as they are quiet, ranked in three broad categories according to their noise level.
The ultimate in quiet hair dryers: 66 dBA max
65 dBA is the sound a quiet printer makes or a telephone ringing or a television at normal volume. And that's well above the level of our range of ultra-quiet professional hair dryers:
- ORIGINAL SILENCE 1.7 i from Velecta Paris, which at full power barely emits 62 dBA, scarcely more than the highest level of a residential street. Total bliss for the ears… but not just the ears! Thanks to its light weight of 400 g, its power of over 1700 W and its embedded ionic technology, ORIGINAL SILENCE 1.7 i (for “ionic”) packs a performance at every level. In the opinion of all the professionals who have taken to using the hair dryer, it fully deserves the MSD (musculoskeletal disorders) Prevention certification awarded to hairdressing equipment and accessories whose ergonomics prevent the onset of these problems.
- OPTIMUM SOLUTION is a little less quiet with its 66 dBA, but it remains in the featherweight category at only 450 g, and above all it delivers a power and performance that will delight professionals as much as home users thanks to its 2000 W and the integrated ionic technology. OPTIMUM SOLUTION is a rare gem when it comes to ultra-quiet hair dryers, but don't let the fact it’s so low-key put you off!
- Last but not least, ORIGINAL 1.3 is an excellent compromise between ergonomics, power and noise: 410 g, 1300 W and 66 dBA at maximum power. Its curved handle and elongated shape help to reduce pressure on the wrist in addition to giving it a pleasant retro look: don’t play fast and loose with it as you’re sure to become a fan!
Quiet hair dryers: up to 68 dBA – back to the classroom!
The sound volume of a relatively-quiet classroom is around 68 dBA: in other words, a level that could begin to generate fatigue with continued exposure.
Several models from Velecta Paris are capable of professional performance while maintaining a maximum volume of 68 dBA, well below the 80 dBA threshold (above which it has been proven that problems may develop). Here we present these models, which include firm favourites that are used extensively by professionals in France and abroad to great acclaim.
- The top favourite is ICONIC TGR 1.7, formerly known as TGR 3600-XS.
The only reason we still need to introduce this high-performance marvel is because TGR 3600 XS recently changed its name to ICONIC TGR 1.7.
335 g, 1700 W (hence the name “1.7”) and only 68 dBA: professionals and home users who use it on a regular basis wouldn't change it for the world! And the MSD Prevention certification label shows they’ve got it totally right! With ICONIC TGR 1.7, discover the joy of using a powerful, quiet and lightweight hair dryer, and treat yourself to the professional quality you deserve!
- ICONIC TGR 1.7 i: when near-silence and advanced technology come together in one and the same hair dryer.
The old TGR ECO XL, now known as ICONIC TGR 1.7 i, has the same characteristics as ICONIC TGR 1.7 (with just a few grams’ difference), and in addition incorporates ionic technology for all your frizz-free drying needs. And thanks to its low noise emission levels (68 dBA), it is still particularly comfortable even after prolonged use – which has also earned it MSD Prevention certification.
- Ultra-powerful and quiet: FLEX and i-FLEX from Velecta Paris
These two classic models from Velecta Paris boast 2300 W of power and a volume of only 68 dBA: one-of-a-kind performance with ionic technology and reduced weight.
But the incomparable advantage of i-FLEX is that it’s a connected hair dryer, meaning you can use a dedicated app to set your tailor-made drying profile: temperature, air-flow speed and ionisation – you customise your hair dryer to suit the characteristics of your hair and / or the hairstyle you want.
Our low-noise hair dryers: from 68 to 72 dBA
All Velecta® Paris’s hair dryers are low-noise, especially compared to the average noise levels of other dryers, which is around 80 dBA.
Our quietest model of hair dryer operates at a maximum volume of 72 dBA, equivalent to the lowest noise level inside a train or the loudest noise made by a dishwasher - in other words, well below the risk threshold, and this time the power output is 2000 W and more:
- The perfect combination of compactness and performance: ICONIC TGR 2.0 and ICONIC TGR 2.0 i
Better known under the names TGR 4000 XS and TGR ECO XP, the two ICONIC TGR 2.0s (the “i” for the model with the ionic function) are high-performance marvels, combining a power output of 2000 W and a light weight of around 500 g without exceeding a volume of 70 dBA. Treat yourself to incomparable comfort when drying your hair, and discover the joys of efficiency combined with user friendliness.
- Super-powerful and super-silent: REVOLUTION 2.2 i is up and running!
2200 W is more than enough to finish drying anyone’s hair and designing the most complex hairstyles. But the real feat is that the hair dryer manages to maintain this power (ionic function included) in a compact format of only 520 g and 72 dBA of sound!
So, give your hair and ears the treatment they deserve with a hair dryer from Velecta® Paris, the only brand that specialises in manufacturing hair dryers for professionals and home users.
