Where to get an electrical adapter for Europe?

I want to get one for my hair dryer, curling iron, cell phone. Is this something I can get at say Best Buy, Home Depot or Walmart or do I buy online? I want to have it before I leave for trip.

Target has them and so does Harmon - I just saw them there this weekend (at Harmon). You can use a 20% off Bed Bath & Beyond coupon at Harmon

I would not travel with your hair dryer
Those adapters can't handle the power of the hair dryers here and it will most likely start smoking and fry it

Curling iron or flat iron will work with those adapters

Also the garment steamer won't work great either with the adapters.

I think the hairdryer will be OK if it is dual voltage. Otherwise, you have to look for an adapter/converter that is made to handle a blow dryer

I bought the adaptors on Amazon. I bought an inexpensive dual voltage hair dryer for travel and have been able to use it in Europe and Asia without any problems.

Do I find them in the area where there are extension cords, etc or a different area?
