Good hair day, every day: Laifen officially arrives in the Philippines
With smart, stylish hair dryers for modern living
Laifen, the global brand known for precision engineering and minimalist design, is officially entering the Philippine market with a full lineup of high-speed, smart hair dryers built for everyday use.
Designed for people who want salon-level styling without the fuss, Laifen’s tools promise faster drying, safer heat control, and smoother finishes — whether you’re getting ready for work, heading out for dinner, or squeezing in a quick refresh between errands.
Since launching in 2019, Laifen has focused on creating efficient, design-led haircare tools that work for real life. Its devices have already reached more than 20 million users worldwide as of early 2025.
Now, Filipinos can finally experience the brand’s signature blend of power and care. Every model arriving locally comes equipped with smart heat monitoring and strong airflow, offering a balance of speed and protection for daily styling.
Compact, maximum performance: Laifen Mini
The Laifen Mini shows that a compact dryer doesn’t have to compromise on power. It runs on a next-gen 110,000 RPM motor that delivers fast drying while staying surprisingly quiet at just 61 dB.
Weighing only 299 grams (without nozzle and cord), it’s light enough for travel yet comfortable for full styling routines. Its Smart Temperature Control checks heat 100 times per second to protect hair, while a built-in Negative Ion Generator helps boost shine and reduce frizz.
There’s also a Child Mode for gentler drying sessions. Made from high-grade nylon with 30% fiberglass and a dual-layer magnetic filter, the Mini combines durability with hair-friendly tech.
The Laifen Mini retails for P5,799 SRP, but early shoppers can get it for P3,599 on Laifen’s official Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok stores. Available in Green, Blue, and White.
Precision meets power: Laifen SE 2
The Laifen SE 2 builds on the strengths of its predecessor with even better performance for users who want more control when styling. Its 108,000 RPM motor pushes out 21.5 m/s airflow for quick, efficient drying.
Users can fine-tune their routine with 10 styling combinations: 2 airflow levels and 5 temperature settings. Heat is regulated 80 times per second to prevent damage, while its six-layer noise reduction system keeps sound levels at just 59 dB.
The Laifen SE 2 comes in White with an SRP of P7,499, now available at a limited-time price of P4,499 on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok.
Look good, spend less: Laifen SE Lite
The Laifen SE Lite proves that affordability can still feel premium. It’s lighter, shorter, and easier to handle than the SE, with a balanced body designed for longer sessions.
Its high-speed drying system saves time, while 150 million negative ions help cut down frizz and leave hair smoother. A six-layer noise reduction setup brings sound down to a calm 62 dB, and Smart Temperature Control — adjusting heat 50 times per second — helps protect hair from damage.
Available in Tan, Pink, and Purple, the SE Lite retails for P3,799 and can be purchased for as low as P1,999 during the launch period on Laifen’s official social commerce platforms.
