The upper lever includes a tab receivable in the indentation. The mount also includes a switch for energizing and de-energizing the hair dryer and a switch actuator for operably connecting the upper lever to the switch. The mount also includes a bar for preventing movement of the upper lever when the lower lever is not engaged by the first end of the hair dryer, and a tab located adjacent the hair dryer on the upper lever for preventing energizing of the hair dryer when the hair dryer is received by the catch.
