Why equip your hotel rooms?
When you manage a hotel establishment, the choice of hairdryer for rooms should not be made at random. This equipment, like others in the room, can make all the difference in the overall experience offered to your guests. Much more than a simple accessory, the hotel hairdryer installed in a wall installation has become essential when the guest is in the bathroom. This equipment is popular with a majority of travelers. Selecting the right model requires taking into account the safety standards of installations , and responding to the category of your hotel and your clientele.
The constraints of the hotel industry: be well informed
The hotel hairdryer does not have the same constraints as a consumer appliance. They are mostly wall-mounted equipment like the Brittony line from JVD or removable like the Alteo JVD line. Apart from the strict electrical standards that must be respected, the hairdryer sometimes faces unwanted uses (theft, drying of clothes, shoes, etc.). It must therefore be designed to limit these uses (e.g.: JVD light touch handle, timer, switch, razor socket, anti-theft device, etc.).
It must also fit stylishly and stylishly into the bathroom with a dedicated wall mount that also provides a razor socket suitable for an international clientele.
The installation of a hair dryer in a hotel that welcomes the public must be carried out by a professional.
How to choose for use in the hotel industry?
The power criterion and the adjustment range are important parameters in relation to the efficiency of the equipment.
Contrary to popular belief, choosing a hair dryer isn't just about power. Some devices, by design, offer superior drying quality at moderate temperatures. Thus, in addition to protecting sensitive hair through careful use of speed and heat , these devices are much less energy-intensive and therefore less expensive. Solutions for modulating the speed and heat of the hair dryer.
Hotel hair dryers must be powerful enough to dry hair quickly without posing a risk to the user. Most models have a power output of 1200 to 1875 watts.
Hospitality hair dryers must be sturdy and durable to withstand frequent use and rough handling in public areas. Models with metal or hard plastic housings are often the most durable.
The most common models are the classic stand-mounted hair dryers or the front-mounted ones.
A hair dryer should be equipped with safety features such as switches to prevent accidents. Make sure they have features such as automatic shutoffs to prevent overheating, surge protection devices, and safety features to prevent children from inserting objects into electrical outlets.
Operation should be simple and straightforward, as it is available to the public in a hotel setting , whether for right-handed or left-handed users. Models with simple , easy-to-understand push-button controls are often the most practical.

The power of the hair dryer, not necessarily the right answer!
Contrary to popular belief, choosing a hair dryer is not just a matter of power . While power is a good indicator, some devices, by their design, allow for superior drying quality despite lower power and therefore lower consumption.
Additionally, not all hair is suitable for very hot and powerful drying. Therefore, it is important to offer customers solutions that allow them to modulate the speed and heat of the hair dryer.
Hair dryer with integrated razor socket
Some hotel hairdryers come with a built-in single-voltage or dual-voltage shaver outlet, providing added convenience for your guests. This feature allows them to shave and dry their hair in the same place, making their morning routine easier. You'll need to consider dual-voltage outlets to accommodate appliances with UK or US voltage.
Hair dryer installation standards: volume 2 or volume 3?
