I've never encountered these dryers with heat that didn't have a 20A rating on the name plate, but then the only ones that I've worked with have been 120 volts. That being said, a 30 amp circuit would be required using #10.

The "turbo jet" ones that just use high-velocity air are different and a 20 amp circuit will suffice.

GFCI protection? Not that I can tell.
