Shop the TNS SuperStyler: $499 60-day money-back · free AU shippingThe Shark FlexStyle (from $249.99 depending on configuration) and the TNS SuperStyler ($499) both dry and style with air. The SuperStyler's case is engineering: it weighs 322g, less than half the weight of competing $300-$500 stylers (662-700g), holds its temperature within 5 degrees with an IC chipset, and drives true Coanda auto-wrap with a 110,000 RPM motor. If you style above shoulder height for more than a few minutes, weight is the spec you feel.
Why this comparison exists
The FlexStyle is the value pick in air styling, and for occasional use it's a fair one. This page exists for the buyer choosing a daily tool, where motor speed, temperature control and arm fatigue decide how often the styler actually leaves the drawer. We make the SuperStyler; where the Shark genuinely wins, we say so.

If you style regularly and want the lightest tool in the class, precise heat that protects your hair, and one styler that replaces your dryer, blow-dry brush and curling wand.
Frequently asked questions
Is the TNS SuperStyler better than the Shark FlexStyle?
They serve different buyers. The FlexStyle is the budget pick; the SuperStyler is the engineering pick: 322g (less than half the weight of competing $300-$500 stylers), an IC chipset holding temperature within 5 degrees, and a 110,000 RPM motor.
Why does weight matter in a hot-air styler?
You hold a styler at or above shoulder height for most of a session. A 322g tool keeps your arm fresh through a full style; heavier stylers are the ones that end up unused in a drawer.
Does the SuperStyler really auto-wrap like the premium stylers?
Yes, it uses true Coanda airflow to wrap sections automatically, the same styling principle as the premium air stylers.
What if I don't like it?
