Hell. I paid 150 bucks for a color & cut last Saturday.
Natural-looking color with highlights & lowlights (hey, a splurge -- we're going om a long-overdue vacation), and a cut that took her about 30 minutes.

Altogether almost 2 hours. On their site. Not the most pricey in Sugar Land, either. Mid-range.

JE's got he best colorist in the world and can afford it. He's the only over-50 man on TV or in politics whose colored hair actually looks natural.

For this alone we should give thanks.

2. I saw Edwards in person at a recent press conference, and his hair is brown
He colors it to cover grey, obviously. His hair definitely appears brown, not blond.

This is all a bunch of nonsense.

3. Wonder what he would look like with a little gray?
Edited on Wed Apr-18-07 02:45 PM by SpankieJane
He's such a cutie-pie, I'd be willing to bet a little gray would be very handsome on him.

4. Uh, once again you Edward's supporters are missing the point.
He paid for it with campaign money.

If 40 people gave $10 a piece that would only pay for one cut.

10. And what do you think other candidate 5 star restaurants cost when they travel
using campaign donations for 5 star hotels, shopping necessities, that's all part of ALL candidates campaign expenditures...

WHO'S REALLY MISSING THE POINT HERE?

6. mine costs $225 (before tips) every 8 weeks. My colorist was named
one of the best blonde highlighters (or the best) by the New York Times. (hey! I think her fee went up after that!)

8. I pay eleven bucks for a haircut but you probably get a better deal.
I got a few stubbles on the side that need clipping every now and then. I told the barber I should get a discount for lack of hair. He said I should pay him a finders fee.

14. That's what I pay, but I add a tip
I tip because looking at the clippings, it's obvious she's only cutting the grey ones. That ain't easy to do.

17. The haircut
is ten bucks, I always give the barber an extra buck. I do enjoy the chit chat even if it is only for a very short time.

20. Okay. Wow.
My wife pays about 45 bucks a month for her "Do." I grit my teeth at each check book input but I guess that's the going rate.

24. I lopped about 8 inches off my ponytail last night
The frizzies were taking up too much of my time every morning.

It took about 10 seconds and cost nothing.

25. See this is where being bald works for me...
I hear people complaining about the cost of hair cuts, hair products, etc, but for me, having been bald since I was five, I'm completely fascinated by the hair dwelling world and the things you all obsess upon regarding your hair. For God sakes it's only dead cells!!!

So while you are forking out 150 bucks for some new doo, I'm saving myself that same money for retirement LOL

26. And it has been my experience
that chicks dig it. I was thinning for years and went slick top about ten years ago. Low maintenance, low cost. I have no desire to have a head of hair.
