Ah, it’s time for Cyber Monday: an online marathon of mad sales, and the beauty deals are hotter than the hair straightener you forgot to unplug. Whether you’re updating your skincare regimen, upgrading your hair tools, or finally caving on that viral product, these live Cyber Monday deals are too good to miss. I’ve done the heavy lifting for you, scouring through the sales to find the absolute best—WIRED-approved, of course. Let’s dive into the best hair and beauty deals.
Updated December 2: We’ve added a few new deals and corrected prices.

No one uses a hair dryer and round brush at home these days; that’s way too much admin. The Double Shot Blow Dryer brush dries, smooths, and styles, leaving you with a salon-quality blowout minus the straining bicep workout or stylist chit-chat. WIRED reviewer Adrienne So says she prefers the Double Shot over the original Revlon dryer brush. It’s a splurge, which is why the only reasonable time to snag it would be when it’s on sale.
We’ve tested (and approved) of other GHD hair tools before, and with a 30 percent discount, this may be the day to invest in good hair. The GHD Platinum+ is a smart flat iron that doesn’t actually fry your hair. Preset to the optimal temperature of 365 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s gentle enough for fine hair but powerful enough to tame the wildest of curls.
This is the Dyson Airwrap dupe—and I mean that in the best way possible. The Shark FlexStyle packs six tools in one: two auto-wrap curlers, an oval brush, a paddle brush, a diffuser, and a concentrator. Whether you’re aiming for mermaid waves or a blowout, it delivers versatility for all hair types and textures. At $223, it’s still an investment, but it’s far easier to justify than the Dyson’s eye-watering $600 price tag.
The Dyson Airwrap (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the Birkin of hair tools: luxurious, expensive, and everyone and their mother wants one. It’s normally $600, but this Cyber Monday deal trims it to $500, which makes the dream feel just a bit more attainable (she says hopefully). Plus, with six attachments—two long barrels, two smoothing brushes, a volumizing brush, and a 2-in-1 Coanda dryer—it’s like having your own glam team in a box.
As featured in our guide to the Best Hair Straighteners, this unique quad-plate straightener delighted our tester with its ability to make two passes in one, as well as its 10 different heat settings. The design does make it difficult to add curls or waves, but for those who need just a straightener and nothing else, this is a fantastic steal at more than 50 percent off. —Kat Merck
I’ve been using flat irons to curly my hair forever. And that’s because I can’t grasp the mechanics of a standard curling iron—regardless of how many YouTube tutorials I watch. But thanks to the Beachwaver Rotating Curling Iron, I can achieve corkscrew curls any time I want. All you have to do is clamp your hair, press the button, and it automatically wraps your hair around the wand. It takes a few tries to fully get the hang of it, but after a while, it’s super easy. —Brenda Stolyar
We’re big fans of Olaplex at WIRED, and this shampoo is no exception. It’s cruelty-free, vegan, and formulated without sulfates, parabens, and phthalates. At $21 this Cyber Monday, it’s the ultimate excuse to snag a bottle or two for yourself and a friend.
Revlon heard our cries and delivered: the Volumizer Plus 2.0 has fixed most of the issues I had with its earlier model. It’s smaller, speedier, and no longer feels like it was designed for someone with three arms. The new medium setting is the Goldilocks of temperatures—not too hot, not too weak, just voluminous blowout perfection in under 15 minutes. The detachable brush also makes portability a non-issue. At $32, it costs less than my caffeine addiction, let alone a single Drybar visit.
Certified by Quiet Mark, an independent organization that assesses household products’ noise pollution, this hair dryer came highly recommended by former WIRED contributor Victoria Woollaston-Webber. It also comes with a concentrator and diffuser. Former WIRED reviewer Medea Giordano tested it for our guide to the Best Hair Dryers and was also impressed with how quiet it was—see for yourself while it’s discounted to half off for Cyber Monday. —Kat Merck
Face and Body Deals
There’s a reason Too Faced named this mascara Better Than Sex, and it’s because the confidence it brings outlasts any situationship. Better Than Sex delivers lush, fluttery, and bold lashes that hold their own through long days (and nights) without smudging or flaking. If you’ve been searching for a mascara that lives up to its name, this one brings drama in the best way—and lasts for far longer.
This foundation is excellent for covering up redness and dark circles, while still leaving an even base to apply the rest of your makeup. It does feel a little heavy at first, but it settles in nicely (we recommend using a standard makeup sponge for the best application). It also comes in a good range of shades, unlike other popular foundations. However, we don’t recommend it if your skin type is on the dry side—we noticed it clings to dry patches. —Brenda Stolyar
Nothing beats a dentist’s whitening treatment, but these pearly strips are a close second. Crest 3D Whitestrips are an essential before big interviews, dates, or photo ops. Like Photoshop for your teeth, they’re great to carry for impromptu touch-ups. You never know when you’ll need a megawatt smile.
If you haven’t heard about snail mucin yet, I need to know what rock you’re living under. But in all seriousness, this slug syrup isn’t just a TikTok trend—it’s packed with real benefits. To name a few dermatological ones: it hydrates, smoothes fine lines, and calms inflammation. At $13, this K-beauty bestseller is practically begging you to jump on the snail train. Consider this your cosmic sign to embrace the slime.
Thirty dollars is a small price to pay for pearly whites. The Sonicare 4100 strips away the unnecessary embellishments, focusing instead on quality features like a pressure sensor, a two-minute timer, and a long-lasting battery (about two weeks on a single charge). It’s gentler than an oscillating toothbrush, and it’s our favorite sonic one.
Micellar water removes makeup, clears impurities, and refreshes your face—all without a single rinse. It’s perfect for lazy days or when you need to freshen up after a long flight or workout. When I’m at home, I like to follow Bioderma up with a rinse-off cleanser. (I’ve been using COSRX’s Advanced Snail Mucin Gel Cleanser, and it just so happens to be on sale, too.)
PanOxyl’s 10 percent benzoyl peroxide wash is a permanent resident in my shower. It’s the strongest over-the-counter option available, so sensitive skin folks should consult a dermatologist and tread lightly. I don’t dare use it on my face, but I rely on it to keep my back clear after sweaty workouts. Bacne doesn’t stand a chance.
Hydrocolloid patches are my not-so-secret weapon for taming breakouts. They shrink pimples, soak up gunk, and keep you from picking at your skin. Mighty Patch makes transparent stickers, so I buy them in bulk to use overnight, or when I’m not trying to make a statement with a bright yellow star on my face. The Original Mighty Patches also don’t contain any active ingredients, which is ideal for reactive skin.
Starface hydrocolloid patches are designed to absorb fluid, so they help flatten zits as well as reduce irritation and redness. It’s also great for shielding blemishes from outside bacteria. The best part is the star-shaped patches are fun to wear. They also come in the adorable and refillable little compact that comes equipped with a mirror to easily apply patches on the go. —Brenda Stolyar
With winter around the corner, your lips might start to feel more chapped than usual. This lip mask will definitely help with that. The thick texture melts quickly and sinks straight into your dry skin, leaving your lips feeling less cracked. It also lasts long enough throughout the day that you won’t have to constantly reapply the product—so the jar, while small, should last you for a while. —Brenda Stolyar
The Beard Hedger earns its status as the traveler’s MVP, thanks to its USB-C charging—a feature so obvious, I’m surprised more brands haven’t caught on. The stainless steel teeth and high-RPM motor handle stubble and shorter beards with ease. Not the prettiest, but it’s waterproof.
