'Phon' (hairdryer) is an Italian word derived from the German brand 'Fön'. It is pronounced 'fon'. The alternative Italian word is 'asciugacapelli' (hair dryer, literally 'hair dryer'), but 'phon' is used almost universally in Italian hotels.
Potete portarmi un phon?
Can you bring me a hairdryer?
Direct request if the phon is missing from the room
Il phon non funziona.
The hairdryer is not working.
Report a broken rather than missing hairdryer
Il phon ha solo una potenza. Posso averne uno più potente?

Some hotel hairdryers are very weak — ask for a better one
Italian hotels are required by star-classification standards to provide a hairdryer in every room from 3 stars upward. Budget hotels (1-2 stars) may not have them. At 1-2 star hotels, always ask at reception — they often have shared units available to borrow.
