Hair appliance organizer

A hair appliance organizer is in the form of a rack having first and second spaced parallel rectangular support surfaces connected along back longitudinal edges by a transverse wall, forming an open rectangular channel. A plurality of pairs of spaced aligned circular apertures extend through the first and second support surfaces. A plurality of slots extend from a front edge of the first and second support surfaces and intersect the circular apertures. In use, hair appliances such as blow dryers and curling irons are inserted through the aligned apertures and stored when not in use. In a second embodiment of the invention, frusto conical inserts are received in the circular apertures and are formed from metal to dissipate and distribute heat from the inserted hair appliance. The inserts may be formed of various different diameters for use with different sized hair appliances. Each insert has a radially extending flange overlying the associated support surface and has a slotted side wall in alignment with the associated slot of the receiving aperture. Smaller diameter inserts may be surrounded by an O-ring to provide frictional engagement with the receiving aperture.
