Best Hot Tools at Sephora

21 Hair Dryers, Curling Irons, and Straighteners Sephora Shoppers Swear By

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Finding the perfect hot tool is the same as making a good investment, especially when you consider how often you're using it to dry, straighten, or curl your hair — and the money you're saving by not paying someone else to do that for you after every single wash. This is especially relevant right now, since we couldn't get to a salon even if we wanted.

Now, most of us would happily never deal with split ends again if we could help it and may already be researching how to trim our own hair if it comes to that, but, at the end of the day, we all just want to look and feel our best. And it depends on our own definition of that whether it includes hair that's straightened with a flat iron, has effortless waves thanks to a curling wand, or simply dry and frizz-free.

If you're wondering how to choose your next hair dryer, flat iron, or straightening brush, we've read through the reviews from Sephora shoppers and picked the products most popular — and pleasing — to customers. Each of these items has earned an average rating of four stars (or more!), making this list a great place to start shopping. Find the top-rated hot tools at Sephora ahead.
