Barbar Italy 3800 Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
As most of you already know I have long hair. Which like most things has its advantages and disadvantages. I love the look of it but hate having to style it, mostly because of the time it takes to dry it. And my $20 drugstore blow dryer just isn't cutting it anymore. That is why I am so thankful for the Barbar Italy 3800.


In operation since 2000, Barbar is backed by over 20 years in experience from founder Dominic Barbar. Barbar Hair Tools has applied Mr. Barbar's years of technical know-how to produce an elite line of hair care products ideal for stylists. Barbar's variety of hair products brings you the latest cutting edge technology that covers all your hair needs without damaging a single strand.
When the Barbar Italy 3800 arrived at my doorstep I couldn't wait to try it out! I got it out of the box and immediately noticed the great red color and the texture. I also noticed that it was a bit more heavy than my drugstore blow dryer, which I hoped was a good thing. When I went to plug it in I noticed how long the cord was, which has turned out to be a major help! Now I don't have to turn my dryer off and set it down when I need to peak out the bathroom door to check on Princess P. Now came the moment of truth, could I it get my hair dry in less time? I plugged it in and hit the first switch once. An impressive amount of air came at me and I moved the speed setting switch over one more time and I was very impressed. (You can tell that the Barbar Italy 3800 is a professional blow dryer by not only the amount of air it puts out but by the sound it makes too.) It has a switch to adjust the temperature, ionic charger and a cool shot button for extra shine. So, did it dry my hair in less time? You bet! In less than 5 minutes.

Features of the Italy 3800:

  • 11 Foot Cord
  • AC Motor
  • Cool shot release button
  • Multiple heat & speed settings
  • High performance controls
  • 2000 Watts
  • 310° F /154° C
  • Red or Black color

  • Barbar offers much more than just blow dryers. You can find professional Flat Irons, Curling Irons, Scissors and Brushes as well.

    One lucky person will win a Barbar Italy 3800 Blow Dryer ($150 ARV)!

    I immediately gravitated to the Barbar Professional 180 Clippers. Both of my sons liked short hair done with #2 and #3 blades and my husband always like to the have the back of his hair blocked and his neck shaved. The inexpensive store bought clippers really don't do such a good job.

    I would love the Barbar HT08-628 Scissors. I cut my husband's hair, and these would really work well. Thanks!
