Stand (1) with a foot (2) and a stand tube (3) which is arranged perpendicularly thereto and at the upper end (4) has a manually operable securing device (5) for securing, by means of a connecting pin (7), an appliance (6) which is connected to the stand tube (3) against being unintentionally released. The securing device (5) is designed as an essentially U-shaped wire clip (8,8.1) which is bent in one piece and has two resilient limbs (9,10), a subregion (11,12) of the limbs (9,10) engaging resiliently in each case in a corresponding groove (13,14) of the connecting pin (7). A curved region (15) of the wire clip (8,8.1) is arranged outside the stand tube (3). The advantage of the wire clip (8) resides in the cost-effective production, the installation of the particular hairdressing appliance (6) without a tool, and the secure locking (protection against unintentional raising/pulling out) of the hairdressing appliance (6) by the wire clip (8), and the removal of the hairdressing appliance (6), again without a tool (FIG. 1).
