There is a smaller fuse panel in the garage, with the glass circle fuses, but I pulled them all out and they seem to be fine. Im stumped.

She was in the bathroom, I don't know what a GFI is.

She doesnt have a GFI. And the garage is powerless on some walls, one wall in the livingroom, a wall in my mothers room, a wall in another bathroom, and porch lights are all out.

Go to your circuit breaker panel.
Try pushing each breaker all the way to the on position.
If one moves then turn it all the way off to reset it then turn it back on. If this doesn't do it then you may have a ground fault receptacle located in the kitchen that is connected to the bathroom circuit. Check your kitchen receptacles, one may be the culprit.
Good Luck ! ! !

An "Edison Base" fuse panel such as you describe
whispers to me of older construction.
I doubt that there is the currently required dedicated
GFI protected circuit in the bathroom, and a hair-dryer
is a large load.
Check the feed to that small fuse panel in the garage.
It might well be a fused switch, and one of those fuses
may have blown.

A GFI is a ground fault interrupter - most newer construction now require them in bathrooms and kitchens (and I'd recommend them in any remodelling project as well).
If you have one, the outlet that she has the hairdryer plugged into will have two buttons located between the plugs. Just push the button marked "R" to reset.
Have you tried anything else in the outlet? Do you know that it's the outlet and not the hairdryer? Most hairdryers have an internal shut-down circuit if they become overheated - she may have tripped that.

If it is a GFI then it could be anywhere! Mine for the outside outlets is hidden away in the basement!

Was she in the bathroom and the GFI tripped?

You propose the common blow-out? that is complicated (for me), and that i warfare each and every time. What I do fairly is flat-iron at very low warmth so it would not make it stick on the instant and get those extensive Velcro rollers and shop them in, then you are able to fix them afterwards. in case you are going to be able to desire to apply the blow-dryer, basically area your hair and get a very stable curler brush like those at Sally's. Brush it from the interior and placed the blow dryer on the outdoors. Use low-warmth so your hair would not poof up! wish I helped, if all else fails, bypass to a salon!

if you have no gfi outlet ( it has a trip and reset button on it) trip the breakers one at a time. the one that does nothing needs to be replaced.
