A hair dryer stand for a handheld hair dryer includes a base and a holder pivotally mounted on the base. The base has a top face, two parallel ears protruding from the top face and two fastening assemblies. The holder has two curved sides and a space. The curved sides are formed together to form the space between the curved sides so the holder is able to clamp a hair dryer. The curved sides also have pivot pins with threaded holes, which are mounted respectively in the ears on the base and held in place by the fastener assemblies. The angle of a hair dryer mounted in the holder can be adjusted relative to the base to accommodate a specific person so that the person is able to use the hair dryer without holding it.
