23 Gifts for Gamers That Won’t Get Returned

Many know Kohl’s as the former Amazon drop-off point, but the retailer has a lot more to offer. Thanks to its partnership with Sephora, Kohl’s is a one-stop shop for both fashion and beauty. Right now, the Kohl’s Sephora Sale is serving up serious savings on top brands like Dyson, Moroccanoil and Living Proof.

One of the biggest steals is the Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler, now $519 (originally $619), and if you’re looking for an everyday essential, the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo is marked down to $38 (originally $45). Whether you’re splurging on a high-end styling tool or stocking up on hair-care staples, these deals are worth a look.

While Dyson first made its name with high-performance vacuums, the brand is now a force in beauty tech with tools that have gone viral online. Arguably the most famous is the Dyson Airwrap, a styling device loved by celebrities, influencers and everyday shoppers for delivering salon-level results at home.

The Airwrap stands out because it dries and styles simultaneously using Coanda airflow technology, all without extreme heat that can damage hair. That means you can curl, wave, smooth and add volume while protecting your strands. Right now, Kohl’s has dropped the Dyson multi-styler to $519 (down from $619), a $100 discount that you don’t want to miss.

With these attachments, you can create everything from smooth, glass-like straight styles to bouncy blowouts, loose waves or voluminous curls without setting foot in a salon.

• “My hair looks so fabulous when I use the Dyson! Looks like I went to the salon and a professional did my hair.”
