As a stylist, there is little worse than feeling like your tools don’t work for you. If they’re slow, weak, tend to stop working altogether, or are otherwise plain unreliable, it could be time to make a switch.
As a salon owner, Geribeth Stigen(@geribleach) knows the importance of having a set of styling tools that you can rely on. Stigen is also a MODERN SALON 100 Honoree and Artist Connective Member, so she regularly has opportunities to try new products—and she thinks she’s found a favorite in Bio Ionic’s range of award-winning styling tools.
But what makes these hot tools so special? See below for what Stigen especially likes about Bio Ionic.
Sustainable Power
Watch as Stigen demonstrates the difference in power between Bio Ionic’s 10X UltraLight Speed Dryer and another generic hairdryer. The 10X is clearly more powerful, despite being comfortably lightweight at under one pound. That power allows you to dry your clients’ hair faster, while the dryer’s EcoDrive motor consumes 75% less power than the average hairdryer.
Less Damage
The shiny curls produced by the Bio Ionic Long Barrel Curling Iron really help Stigen show off this client’s gorgeous new color blocking look. The iron contains NanoIonic MX and Moisturizing Heat Technology, preventing damage and making her style smooth and long-lasting.
Reliability
Stigen rocked the coolest hairstyle when she joined us for the October 2024 edition of MODERN SALON Boot Camp in Atlanta. This video demonstrates how she achieved it with her Bio Ionic Long Barrel Curling Iron, and even on week-old hair it looks amazing. It doesn’t matter what kind of hair you or your clients have because this curling iron is super reliable, able to be used for any situation where you need some perfect, bouncy curls or waves.
Bio Ionic has earned Geribeth Stigen’s seal of approval. Next time you’re feeling disappointed by your tools, try switching things up. With lower price points than other brands of its caliber on the market, you’ll find a lot to love about Bio Ionic.
