Best beauty tech Black Friday 2018 deals:
Both the Dyson Supersonic and Airwrap Styler are defining luxury at the moment.
Still, at a couple of hundred quid a pop, they're not exactly fodder for impulse buying.
The Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer tends to hover around the £300 price point but it went down to £235.99 this year on Amazon just after the clock struck midnight on Black Friday eve, and we are expecting similar things from the Boxing Day sales.
How to decide if the Dyson Supersonic is for you? We tell you how it will change your frizz forever and whether it is worth the money in our comprehensive review here.
We also compared the Dyson Airwrap Styler to cheaper rivals and classic stylers here.
