Your hotel should have a hairdryer in the rom otherwise anything from 20 euros to 100 euros. Check your camerea charger to see if it is dual voltage (most are these days) and if so it will accept 240V input then you will not need to buy one

If you want to take a hairdryer, it makes more sense to get a dual voltage one rather than mess around with voltage converters. As the post above indicates, your camera almost certainly will accept the European voltage. In either case, you will need a plug adaptor (to go from N. American style to two round prongs), which any travel store should have at little expense.

I%26#39;ve got a small US hairdryer that I bought over 20 years ago for a few bucks that is dual voltage -- it even came with a towel (that bled bright blue with every slight dampness) and 3 prong adapters for various European outlets -- it is still traveling
you can go to any drug store in the US and select from several cheap hairdryers that are dual voltage -- it is worth the investment if you aren%26#39;t not staying places where you know they have them (most hotels now do -- and all the recent apartments we have rented have also had them)
or if you plan to travel a lot, you could chance the hotels and then if they dn%26#39;t, just go pick up a cheap European dryer for future travel (we did that with an alarm clock -- didn%26#39;t want to rely on batteries to make the plane -- and we carry our European plug in alarm clock on trips now)
most electronics -- phones, computers, cameras etc are also dual voltage but of course be sure -- and so the simple two buck plug adapter is all that is needed

I don%26#39;t know how often you travel, but I bought a hairdryer , curling iron and charger in France .The hotel recommended which store to find them. This had worked out great for me; when I pack for Europe, I throw them in my carry-on. Cost me about 60Euros for all (four years ago)
The hairdryers mounted on the bathroom wall at hotels are so weak! My hair dries faster walking in circles around the room for five minutes. Sometimes there aren%26#39;t plug outlets next to the mirror.
