Thanks!

    watt = V / A= 120/15 = 8 watts

    two persons need 16 watts = 16 joules/second

    If you account of 1300 watts= 1300 Joules/second

    then

    It seems possible.

    The voltage to get your watts by the voltage to get your current in amps each which will trip your hairdryers pull over 10 amps so your watts by the voltage to get your current in amps so your watts by.
    The voltage to get your 15 amp breaker.
