Will small appliances such as hair dryer work in Mexico?

Yes; Mexico works with 120V, 1.5A, 50.60 Hz altern current (AC). What may vary, though, is the power socket. Many homes and offices have the American variation (NEMA 5-15 - North American 15 A/125 V grounded) but some (specially old housing) have an old version of such sockets named NEMA 1-15 which have only two blades, and no ground rod.
