My mother had one, and my aunts & cousins. As I remember, they didn't much appreciate future astronauts using the bottom part as a Spaceman Ray Gun.

But you're right, the dryers in the beauty parlors were awesome. Huge sleek monsters that looked like they could suck you right up and transport you to another dimension, where Rod Serling was waiting for you.

Stylish too. I remember some of those dryers in nifty metallic colors like Kandy Apple Red, with more chrome than a '58 Buick.
