How much was a hair cut in 1920?
None if it's unplugged. It may be using a small amount if it is left plugged in. When the hair dryer is not being used it uses no electricity.

Depends on where you shop. Anywhere between $15-$400. Read the price tag.

Alexandre Godefoy was the inventor of the electric hair dryer, which was invented in 1890 The first hair dryer was the vacuum cleaner! Around the turn of the century, women dried their hair by connecting a hose to the exhaust of their vacuum cleaners. In early models, the front of a vacuum cleaner sucked air in, the back blew air out, and the hose could be attached to either end. In 1920, the first true hair dryer came on the market, but it was extremely large and heavy, and frequently overheated. Since then, thousands of patents have been issued for different hair dryer designs, but most of them only tweak the outside packaging of the hairdryer so that it looks more aesthetically appealing to you. Aside from the addition of some safety features, the inside of a hair dryer hasn't changed too much over the years. Not until 1951 was the first really workable dryer made. The device consisted of a hand-held dryer connected to a pink plastic bonnet fitted over the woman's head.
