Cologne – November 10, 2026 -- Dyson has assembled a holiday gift lineup across hair, floor and oral care, led by a limited Plum Copper edition of four hair tools that ships in a presentation box.

Four hair tools arrive in limited Plum Copper

The colorway is inspired by the rare gemstone Kyawthuit. It is available for the Dyson Supersonic Nural hair dryer, the Airwrap i.d. and Airwrap Co-anda2x multi-stylers and dryers, and the Airstrait hair dryer and straightener. Dyson says the tools combine airflow technology with intelligent temperature regulation and are built for all hair types.

Great Neck, N.Y. – September 18, 2026 -- The $697 figure most people cite as the average cost of laser hair removal doesn't actually measure laser hair removal at all -- it comes from a broader American Society of Plastic Surgeons survey on "laser skin treatments" that has never been broken out by procedure. Other guides cite $582 or $389 from the same source, while CareCredit reports a $207 to $913 per-session range and RealSelf's user-submitted data puts the average near $1,016.

Laser by Aleya, a laser hair removal and electrolysis studio in Great Neck, New York, is publishing its own itemized pricing and a 10-year cost comparison against shaving and waxing, aiming to let customers check the math themselves rather than rely on a single national number.
