In the bedroom usualy.  There is a power socket next to my wifes "dressing table".

Migrating from the topic slightly I find hair dryers a bit worrying.  My wife has long hair and I often see her pulling the hairdryer away after it's sucked some hair over the inlet.  It has a fairly fine gauze, but the thought of damp hair hitting something at mains potential inside is not pleasant.  I suppose if it happened regularly we would know about it.
