The interference from the hair dryer to the antenna can be direct, as you suppose, and could be reduced by chicken wire. The other method of transmission is down the power cord and through the house wireing and perhaps into the attic light and then the antenna.

If it's carried down the power cord, a ferrite bead, such as those bulges at the end of a VGA cable, clamped over the hair dryer cord, can minimize the problem. A more surefire solution is to get the antenna on the roof.
