If I’m buying a big-ticket item, I’m going to make sure the spend-to-save ratio is worth my while. That’s precisely why Amazon Prime Big Deals Day is my version of the Super Bowl. It's a massive sales event when everything on my shopping list, from wardrobe basics to gifts for the women in my life, is on major sale. However, for this October Prime Day, I plan on using the occasion to invest in one of the best blow dryers or hot tools that the sale has for less.

These luxury hot tools rarely go on sale and can have hefty price tags—some cost well over $400. But if Amazon is being so gracious as to offer steep discounts (everything is at least 15 percent off), I’m not going to pass up the chance to buy a blow dryer, flat iron, or curling iron at a bargain price. Shark's SpeedStyle RapidGloss Air is $50 off, and professional hair brand Cosy Companions is offering over $700 (!!) off its High-Speed Hair Dryer. Oh–and Dyson is offering $100 a few products from its never-on-sale lineup including the iconic Airwrap and the Supersonic Hair Dryer.

With that in mind, my strategic self has scoured every blow dryer discount available during Prime Big Deals Day. I’ve assembled the rarest, best deals for your shopping pleasure, plus all of the need-to-know details ahead. Scoop one up before time runs out and if you're curious about any October Prime Day clothing deals, I've got you covered there, too.
