My brand new hair dryer died mid-client on a Saturday

I had a full day booked last Saturday, 4 clients back to back. Got to the third one, a regular who always wants her long hair done quick, and my ion dryer just stopped blowing air. No spark, no noise, just dead. Had to borrow my coworker's old Parlux to finish and I felt like a total hack. Anyone else have a major tool fail on them at the worst possible time?

Wait hold on, your ion dryer just stopped mid-blowout with no warning? That's wild. Those are supposed to be pretty reliable from what I've heard, but I guess anything can crap out at the worst possible moment.

Honestly thought mine was bulletproof till it did the exact same thing last week.

Used to think the expensive ones were basically idiot proof too. Mine went out halfway through drying my daughter's hair before school, just shut off and wouldn't turn back on for like twenty minutes. Totally changed my mind on paying extra for the premium models. Found out later the thermal fuse on these can just randomly trip even if they aren't overheating, which seems like a huge design flaw to me.
