SUMMARY:

The T3 Cura Luxe is a luxurious hair-dryer and has won several beauty awards in 2018 alone. It is not budget-friendly and there are people out there who would never spend $250 on a hair-dryer, but those who are willing to splurge, will not regret it. The Cura Luxe is smart, versatile, comes with 5 heat settings and 2 speed ones, has a unique and useful auto-pause sensor and uses IonAir technology, for a softer and static-free hair.

COMPLETE REVIEW

The T3 Cura Luxe is a top-end hair-dryer, with a steep price tag but features to match it. It is a digitally controlled device, in terms of heat and speed settings, it is strong, good looking and packs 1,875 watts.

Here are its main specs:

  • Wattage: 1,875W
  • Built-in ion generator
  • 5 heat settings
  • 2 speed settings
  • Volume booster
  • Auto-pause sensor
  • 9 ft. cord (with cord wrap)
  • 2 concentrators (one for drying, one for styling)
  • Shipping weight: 2,4 pounds

The Cura Luxe is the most expensive version in the Cura line. There is also the Cura hair-dryer, which is $50 cheaper. What the Cura Luxe has over the simple Cura model are 2 more heat settings and the auto-pause feature.

The Cura Luxe has a great design. It comes in black and rose gold, it is ergonomic and lightweight. The package also includes two concentrators, one for drying and one for styling your hair. The overall design is definitely premium, from shape and color to all the minor details of the dryer.

The Cura Luxe is a smart dryer, in that it uses digital controlled heating and digital IonAir technology.

The dryer features a power button, a cool shot button, 2 speed settings, 5 heat settings and a volume booster switch. There are LED indicators, too, which show you what setting you’re on.

The 9 feet chord with cord wrap is long enough so that you don’t have to be married to your outlet and the Cura Luxe also features a pure stream filter cap. Cleaning the filter is an easy job, you just twist the pure stream counterclockwise, do your cleaning and then click it back into place.

The digitally controlled heating settings are definitely something special and you do get more heat options than with average dryers.

One other cool and really useful feature is the auto-pause sensor of the Cura Luxe. What this does is it shuts-down the dryer automatically when you put it down and then powers the dryer back on when you pick it up. This is indeed a unique feature we haven’t encountered so far in other dryers.

The built-in ion generator delivers great results, making your hair feel healthier, shinier and frizz-free. If you have a fine hair, you are also going to benefit from the volume boost feature included with the Cura Luxe.

The Cura Luxe pretty much delivers all its promises, helping you get a hair style that is smoother, with more volume, shinier and it also protects your hair. Also, you’re going to start realizing you don’t need to use any more hair products, or at least not as many as you used to, in order to be able to obtain a salon like hair-style. The dryer pretty much does all the job for you.

In spite of the claims on the official website, the Cura Luxe is not as quiet as advertised. We consider it to be average in terms of noise.

The Cura Luxe is a must-have item in your hair care kit. While it is pretty costly for a hair-dryer, you’ll only notice what you have been missing after you try the Cura Luxe. Your hair will dry faster, will feel smooth, shiny and healthier. After all, the Cura Luxe didn’t win all those beauty awards such as Oprah Magazin Spring Beauty O-wards and Cosmopolitan Beauty Awards for nothing.

Pricing

The Cura Luxe will cost you $250. For this price you also get 2 nozzle concentrators. The dryer comes with a 2-year warranty.
