The BaBylissPRO Vero Professional Ionic Hair Dryer 2000W is a streamlined, made-in-Italy dryer built for fast, controlled drying and finishing. A powerful 2000W AC motor moves air at 138 km/h, ionic technology helps smooth the finish, and a slim, balanced body makes it easy to handle through a full service. It is the drying and finishing tool of the FreshFX cordless set.

Why the Vero dryer

The Vero is built around a powerful 2000W AC motor that moves air at 138 km/h, so it is made to dry quickly and hold that airflow through back-to-back clients. The AC motor is the workhorse type barbers and stylists rely on for a mains dryer that keeps going through a busy day at the chair.

You get real control over the finish. Two speed and three heat settings plus a cold shot let you match the airflow and temperature to the hair and the style, and ionic technology helps control frizz for a smoother, shinier look. The 6 x 75 mm concentrator focuses the air for a clean finish, and the slim, balanced body keeps it comfortable to hold and steer.

Key features

• Powerful 2000W AC motor with an air speed of 138 km/h for fast, professional drying.
• 2 speed and 3 heat settings plus a cold shot to protect, smooth and set the style.
• Ionic technology to control frizz for a smooth, shiny finish.
• 6 x 75 mm concentrator nozzle with focused airflow for control, speed and a smooth finish.
• Slim, balanced body, 460 g, with a 2.8 m cord, a durable gloss finish and a detachable rear filter -- made in Italy.

What to expect

Expect a fast, controllable mains dryer, not a lightweight travel model. The AC motor is built for repeated professional use, and the settings give you room to dry rough, then finish smooth with the concentrator and the cold shot. It runs on 230-240V mains power and is not dual-voltage, so check the voltage in your country before using it abroad.

Who it is for

• Barbers and stylists who want a fast mains dryer for the chair.
• Anyone finishing a cut who wants ionic smoothing and a focused nozzle.
• Anyone building the FreshFX set who wants a matched drying tool.
• Anyone who wants control over speed, heat and a cold shot.

Who it is not for

• If you want a diffuser, the Vero ships with a concentrator nozzle, not a diffuser.
• If you need dual voltage for travel, the Vero runs on 230-240V mains power.
• If you want an ultra-light body, this is a professional dryer at 460 g.
• If you only cut, the drying tool pairs with a clipper, trimmer and shaver.

Professional tip

Rough-dry on a higher heat and speed to take the water out, then drop the heat, fit the concentrator and work the air down the hair to smooth it. Finish each section with a burst of the cold shot -- cold air helps set the shape and lock in shine. Keep the nozzle moving so you do not concentrate heat on one spot, and go easy on the heat over fine or bleached hair.

How to use it

1. Plug in the dryer and pick a speed and heat setting to suit the hair.
2. Rough-dry the hair to remove most of the water before you style.
3. Fit the concentrator and direct the airflow down the hair to smooth it.
4. Set with the cold shot to finish each section and lock in the shape.
5. Clean the filter by removing the rear filter and clearing any lint after use.

Care and maintenance

Keep the rear filter clear -- a blocked filter reduces airflow and makes the dryer work harder. Remove the detachable filter regularly and clear any lint and hair, then refit it before use. Wipe the body with a dry cloth; do not rinse the dryer or run it under water. Let the dryer cool fully before you store it, and store it dry with the cord loosely coiled rather than tightly wound, which protects the cord over time.

• Full control: 2 speed and 3 heat settings plus a cold shot.
