Vintage Dominion Model 1845 Hood Bonnet Hair Dryer Tested Works Box Manual 750W
This classic rigid-hood dryer was designed to bring the salon experience into the home. Portable bonnet and hood dryers became especially popular during the roller-set, bouffant, and structured-hairstyle era, allowing users to dry and set their hair while seated comfortably. Today, surviving examples are equally appealing as functional vintage beauty appliances, salon displays, photography props, and mid-century bathroom or vanity décor.
This example has been tested and works great. It includes its original retail box and an especially nice group of surviving paperwork.
Features printed on the original box include:
- Adjustable heat control
- 750-watt, safety-fused operation
- Extra-large adjustable hood
- Counterbalanced, non-tip base
- Built-in carrying handle
- Storage area designed for pins and rollers
- UL approved
- Portable console design

- Dominion Model 1845 portable console hair dryer
- Original retail box
- Original use-and-care instruction booklet

The appliance was manufactured by Dominion Electric Corporation of Waterbury, Connecticut, identified on the packaging as a subsidiary of Scovill. Dominion produced a wide range of small household appliances, and its portable dryers are memorable examples of the era’s increasingly convenient home beauty equipment.

This is a genuine vintage electrical appliance. It was tested successfully at the time of listing, but because of its age, it is sold without a long-term electrical guarantee. As with any vintage appliance, the buyer should inspect the cord and unit before continued use and should never leave it operating unattended.
A terrific find for a vintage beauty collector, salon owner, stylist, theater wardrobe department, photographer, or anyone recreating a retro vanity display.
