Standing in front of full length mirror in bedroom. It’s not something I spend much time on tbh!

Before I lived in this house I never had a dressing table so I just sat on the floor in front of a full length mirror

I've never had a dressing table. I sit on the carpet to dry my hair.

Keep the dryer on my bedside locker (it's a large locker and I use it daily so I don't bother putting it in the drawer)

I used the top of a chest of drawers as a makeshift dressing table when I was short of bedroom space.

In front of a full length mirror on the landing, and I keep the hairdryer plugged in on a stool there. If I ever have guests I put it away in the airing cupboard which is on the landing.

I've never had a dressing table and don't have a plug point anywhere near my mirror.
So I sit on my bed to part dry my hair then go to the mirror to comb, then back to the bed to dry a bit more, then back to the mirror to brush.

Sit on bed in front of mirrored wardrobe door. No room for a dressing table and the one time I tried in the hall I set off the smoke alarm. At 6.30 on Christmas day!

Mirror on the wall with a shelf for dryer and hair/face stuff.
I installed hooks under the shelf for hanging the dryer on and when that worked I then put straighteners and tongs (I like to chop and change) on hooks too. All within a 2foot x 6 inch shelf space.

I have a dressing table now but still sit crossed legged in front of my full length mirror (it's how I did it as a teen and anything else feels wrong 😂).

A floating drawer. Keep the hair dryer inside the drawer

Either sit on the floor and use the full length mirror, or prop a smaller mirror up and sit on the bed.

I have a mirror on my chest of drawers and a full length mirror on the wall; my hair dryer has a really long lead so I move between the two. I’ve never sat down to do my hair or make up

Mirror above the fireplace in bedroom, hairdryer lives in chest of drawers. Tend to wander around the room with it (long cord); makeup in a bag I tote around to fireplace mirror/bathroom/hallway mirror/wfh desk. Don’t know anyone that sits down and titivates at a dressing table like ye olden times tbh.
