As Mashable’s shopping reporter on the beauty tech beat, I know first-hand that beauty tech tools like hot air stylers or skincare wands can range from gimmicky to fun to irreplaceable parts of your daily routine. I also know that more often than not, these tools aren’t cheap. Black Friday beauty deals take the sting out of high prices, but deals can be deceiving.
Together, that doesn’t make for the easiest Black Friday shopping experience. Sure, maybe that deal on a microcurrent device looks great, but if it doesn’t do much and craps out in six months, it’s not worth any amount of money. And with a saturated market, it’s easy to waste your money — which is why I’ve put together this list of my favorite beauty products on sale.
For many of the below products, I’ve tested them, or at least tried out the brand, personally. (My hottest take: the Dyson Supersonic really is the best beauty tool from the brand). In addition to vetting the quality of the product — i.e. you won’t find any sketchy TikTok Shop-esque deals below — I’ve also used my professional judgment as a shopping reporter who’s covered the online deals beat for over three years. The result: 25 of the best Black Friday beauty tech deals.
Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.
Best Black Friday hair dryer deals
Why we like it
With so many great hair dryers on sale, including many Dyson Supersonic dupes, it’s hard to pick a favorite, but the Zuvi Halo is one of the most unique options on the market. Like the Dyson Supersonic, the Halo is meant to minimize hair damage, but unlike the Supersonic, it uses a combination of airflow and infrared light to dry your hair without exposing it to tons of heat. It sounds gimmicky, and I was certainly skeptical when I used it, but it genuinely felt like I was using less heat, all while drying my hair in about 15 minutes or less. You aren’t able to adjust the heat and air speed within the four care modes that act as both settings, but it’s not too big of an annoyance as there’s a decent amount of variety between them.

Best Black Friday hot air styler deals
Why we like it
Yes, the cute pink Airwrap is on sale, but hear me out — the T3 Aire 360 is just as cute and pink, half the cost of the Airwrap’s sale price, and in some ways, works better than the tool it’s duping. The T3 comes with more limited attachments, with a standard drying attachment, a round brush, and two curling barrels (one for each direction), but it feels more curated than the Airwrap. That certainly helps with the storage solution the brand provides — a vegan leather pouch that is the best storage case of any multi-styler I’ve tried (and I’ve tried my fair share). Not for nothing, I also found the curls the T3 created to be more pronounced, and longer lasting, than the ones I got with the Airwrap (though that could be just the case for my hair).

Best Black Friday skincare tech deals
Why we like it
Red light wands aren’t exactly a beauty necessity — if you don’t have a skincare routine that you like already, even the best tech isn’t going to be the magic answer that makes everything click. But, if you’re looking to add a little luxury, the Solawave Radiant Renewal Wand is a great way to look more glowy and refreshed in a pinch. Plus, the warmth and vibration make for a nice facial massage to start or end your day. At 40% off, this tool is a little easier to splurge on.

Best Black Friday hot tools beauty deals
Why we like it
Easy blowouts can feel like somewhat of an oxymoron, and while any tool requires a bit of practice (yes, even including the Airwrap), I found that the Amika Blowout Babe Thermal Brush gave one of the easiest, and longest-lasting soft and smoothed blowout-looking hair. With longer hair, it’s possible to get more of a defined wave, while shorter hair will benefit most from the volume. Because it’s a hot brush that doesn’t use air, you will definitely want to use heat protectant (though you should be using heat protectant anyway!), but it’s especially great for locking styles in place all day.
