Year-end sales at Best Denki

Japanese retail chain Best Denki recently announced its year-end festive season sales from Dec 2 to 25, with markdowns on a wide range of merchandise.

Some of the exclusive offers include Dyson Corrale hair straighteners, which are going for $629 (usual price is $699) each. The cord-free straightener is one of the retail chain’s bestsellers as it is said to tame unruly, curly or frizzy hair. It comes in a firecracker red, which is exclusive to Best Denki.

Also on sale are Sharp Plasmacluster Hair Spa hairdryers at $129 (usual price is $249) each. Its “gua sha” mode is said to improve one’s scalp and hair condition by massaging the head to boost circulation. Also, its plasmacluster ions emit positive and negative ions to form a protective layer on the surface of the hair which penetrates and moisturises each strand.

Info: Festive sales are on at all Best Denki retail outlets. Check out offer prices or shop online at bestdenki.com.sg
