Shark’s newest FlexStyle is at its lowest price ever before Black Friday

If a salon-worthy blowout, bouncy curls and a smoother finish are on your hair wishlist, Shark just gave you another reason to get excited: its newest FlexStyle is back at its lowest price ever ahead of Black Friday.

The Shark FlexStyle Next-Gen IonCurl 5-in-1 Hair Styler is currently on sale for $249 at Amazon, down from its original $350 price. That’s a savings of more than $100 (29% off) on a styling tool that only launched recently. Even better? This matches the lowest price the device has ever reached, making it a deal worth adding to your cart before the Black Friday shopping frenzy officially kicks off.

As a beauty reporter who tests dozens upon dozens of blow dryers and hair stylers, I’ve become pretty picky about what deserves a spot on my vanity. And one thing I can say about the Shark FlexStyle lineup is that it gets the ergonomics right. The FlexStyle has one of the best grips I’ve experienced in a styling tool, making it comfortable to maneuver as I work through different sections of hair. Because let’s be honest: Nobody wants an arm workout just to achieve a good hair day.

Shark FlexStyle Next-Gen IonCurl 5-in-1 Hair Styler

The newest IonCurl takes that familiar versatility and gives it a serious glow-up. This five-in-one tool can dry, curl, smooth, and add volume, thanks to its collection of attachments. It comes with two 1.25-inch Coanda Auto-Wrap Curlers, an Oval Brush, a Styling Concentrator, and a FrizzFighter High-Shine Polisher. Translation: You can go from freshly washed strands to a bouncy, polished blowout without juggling five different hot tools.

The star of the show is Shark’s upgraded CoandaBoost technology, which uses boosted airflow to automatically attract and wrap hair around the curling barrels. The goal is more defined, bouncier curls with less fuss. Meanwhile, 200 million negative ions help combat static and frizz for a smoother, shinier finish.

There are a few other upgrades worth getting excited about, too. Scalp Shield Mode automatically adjusts temperatures to help protect your scalp from excessive heat, while the new AirSet button lets you pause airflow during styling or deliver a cool burst to help set your curls. The device I reviewed also monitors heat 1,000 times per second, with temperatures capped at 302 degrees Fahrenheit.

I also love that this is designed to do more than just create curls. The FrizzFighter attachment helps tame flyaways and boost shine, while the Oval Brush is there for those big, bouncy, salon-inspired blowouts. Basically, it’s a whole hair team in one compact package.

At $249, the Shark FlexStyle Next-Gen IonCurl is a *whole* lot more tempting than it was at full price. With more than $100 in savings and its lowest-ever price appearing ahead of Black Friday, I’d say this is one hair-raising deal you don’t want slipping through your fingers.

How does the CoandaBoost auto-wrapping technology work?

It uses high-velocity airflow to automatically attract and wrap hair sections around the barrel using air pressure instead of extreme heat.

No. The US model operates solely on 120V single voltage and cannot be safely used on 220V–240V international outlets even with adapters.

SharkNinja provides a two-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and workmanship under normal household use.
