I claim:  
     
         1 ) A method of conveniently storing a hand held hair dryer comprising the steps of: 
 providing a rack having a laterally projecting sup-porting member which has an opening therethrough sized to receive the hand held hair dryer;    mounting the rack on a wall adjacent to an electrical outlet;    positioning the hair dryer in the rack;    plugging the electrical cord on the hair dryer into the electrical outlet so that the electrical cord hangs beneath the hair dryer in the rack and the electrical outlet;    using the hair dryer; and finally,    replacing the hair dryer in the opening in the storage rack without unplugging the hair dryer.    
     
     
         2 ) A method as in  claim 1  wherein the opening for receipt of the hair dryer does not fully circumscribe the hair dryer, having a frontal peripheral break so that the electrical cord on the hair dryer can pass through the break when the hair dryer is positioned on or removed from the rack.  
     
     
         3 ) A method as in  claim 2  further comprising the step of providing an opening in the rack sized to receive a hair brush.  
     
     
         4 ) A method as in  claim 3  wherein the rack is made of plastic and comprises a rear side portion for attachment to the wall and a laterally projecting side portion having a rear edge portion attached to the rear side portion.  
     
     
         5 ) A method as in  claim 4  wherein the side portions of the rack are fabricated from a clear acrylic plastic panel.
