If you’ve ever shopped for new hair tools, you know the price tags can be…a little shocking. Add those price tags to holiday shopping and things can get expensive fast. The good news? You don’t have to spend hundreds to get the hair-lover in your life something they’ll love! These stylist-approved hair tools under $150 deliver salon-quality results without blowing your budget.


BondiBoost Infrared Heated Thermal Hot Round Brush

If you love a classic round-brush blowout but hate juggling a brush and dryer, this is the gift that keeps on giving. The infrared technology smooths, adds shine, and reduces frizz while you style, making it perfect for quick, glossy holiday party hair.

Pro Tip

Pro Tip: Work in small sections and let the infrared heat do its thing for that soft, bouncy finish.

BaBylissPRO Portofino Hair Dryer

Every great style starts with a great blow-dry, and this one is pure magic for the price. The ionic technology speeds up drying time, reduces frizz, and leaves hair silky and smooth. Strong enough for thick hair, lightweight enough for everyday use.

Why It's Gift Worthy

It feels like a salon dryer but won’t max out your holiday budget.

BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium 1” Ultra Slim Flat Iron

Straight, sleek strands or soft, festive waves, this flat iron does it all. The nano titanium plates heat quickly and glide like butter, giving smooth, frizz-free results. Its slim design makes it easy to curl, wave, or bend the ends for movement.

Pro Tip

Twist your wrist slightly as you glide down for subtle S-waves perfect for holiday dinners.

L’ANGE HAIR Multi-Volume Series Blow Dryer Brush

Blow-dry brushes are the ultimate lazy-girl holiday hack. This one dries and styles in a single step and comes in a multi-volume series so you can choose the barrel size that fits your hair length and the look you want.

Pro Tip

Over-direct at the crown and let each section cool before releasing for maximum holiday volume.

L’ANGE HAIR Le Pirouette Rotating Curling Iron

When you’re rushing from gift wrapping to parties, let this curling iron do the work. The auto-rotating barrel wraps the hair for you, creating consistent curls with minimal effort.

Two Sizes to Choose From:

  • 25MM for tighter, more defined curls (great for winter hats and scarves).

  • 32MM for soft, loose waves that last through holiday dinners and New Year’s Eve.

Pro Tip

When curling, alternate which direction the curl faces for a more natural finish.
