Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex Hair Dryer

Shark is a household name that originally rose to prominence in the vacuum cleaner and floor care markets. The brand was founded in the United States, specifically under the umbrella of Euro-Pro, which later rebranded to SharkNinja to reflect its two core power brands. In recent years, Shark has expanded aggressively into the beauty and personal care space, leveraging its expertise in high-velocity airflow and motor technology to compete in the premium hair tool market with flagship products like the SpeedStyle and FlexStyle series.

Most Shark products are engineered and designed in the United States and the United Kingdom, while manufacturing is primarily outsourced to facilities in China and Southeast Asia to maintain competitive scale. The brand is known for offering performance comparable to high-end salon brands at a more accessible price point, often integrating smart technology like ionizing features and heat protection.

The brand is owned by SharkNinja, Inc., which became a publicly traded entity on the New York Stock Exchange in 2023. While the company maintains significant operations in Massachusetts, USA, its ownership structure transitioned after being acquired by CDH Investments in 2017 and subsequently integrated with the Joyoung brand under JS Global Lifestyle. As of 2024 and beyond, SharkNinja operates as an independent public company, continuing to dominate the consumer electronics and appliance sectors globally.
