This month’s Sephora Savings Event has ushered in a deeper-than-usual discount on our favorite Dyson Airwrap dupe.

Now through April 15, Shark FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System is on sale for just $ 215.10 for shoppers who enter the promo code YAYSAVE at checkout while logged into a Sephora Beauty Insider account. (It’s completely free to sign up.) The FlexStyle typically retails for $ 299.99, so this works out to a savings of 28%, or almost $ 85.

This isn’t the FlexStyle’s lowest price ever — it briefly fell to $ 199.99 on the Best Buy app last November — but it’s way better than the $ 239.99 sale price it regularly sees on the Shark website, Amazon, and at Best Buy. (Note that build-your-own bundles were $ 219.99 at the former retailer at the time of writing.)

The FlexStyle isn’t just the best alternative to the Airwrap — it’s arguably better than Dyson’s viral multistyler, which costs twice as much outside of sales and lacks a swiveling base that twists it into a hair dryer. It’s powered by the exact same Coanda technology, which dries and volumizes hair by wrapping it around barrels, and it self-regulates its temperature to prevent extreme heat damage. Just like the Airwrap, the FlexStyle also comes with a variety of interchangeable attachments.

“Between the FlexStyle and the Airwrap, it’s hard for me to imagine a reason why you’d opt for the latter unless you’re into big purchases for the sake of big purchases, or if you’re especially loyal to Dyson,” said Bethany Allard, a lead shopping reporter at Mashable who’s heavily tested both devices. And the FlexStyle’s current sale price makes it an even more compelling purchase than usual.
