A updated design for the Harry Josh hair dryer that emphasizes it's iconic details built around a new engineering package.

The Harry Josh Pro Tools Hair Dryer is the second iteration of their Harry Josh halo product, known for its heavy-duty performance and lightweight ergonomics. The goal was to refine its existing visual DNA, including the mint-green chassis and signature banana handle, while implementing a new engineering package and improved user experience. The toggle switch control layout, a design request from the client, focused on upgrading the UX for fast-paced salon environments by allowing quick and accurate adjustments. While mass-production cost thresholds for a the new high-performance internal motor ultimately kept this design unreleased, the project stands as study in balancing brand heritage with modern design evolution.

The handle features a redesigned toggle switch control system recessed into the spine. The curved grip and soft transitional intersection into the body allows for the variety of grip and hand placements professional stylists use in the salon.
