Haircuts now going for $800 in NYC

I read that article. Bizarre.

I have it for free
The barber at my work in keeps my hair out of my ears ,collar and forehead.He chops it once a month,and for free.

Deeeep...

Number 1, the kind of person who gets an $800- haircut is not going to wait six months to get another one.

Number2- Anyone who thinks that a haircut "turns a nobody into a somebody" has her priorities all screwed up.

I don't think that Ms. Bensimon is someone that I would want to know!

Probably "the story of this human has no interest"

$800 hair cut in NYC, but half that gets the whole head delivered in Chicago.

We have a famous footballer called David Beckham who plays for England and in fairness to him he IS good, but add that to being married to a spice girl "posh spice" he and his wife are in the news every bloody day.

A while ago Beckham turns out one day sporting a "shaved head" for which the dimwit paid £300 ($550) for, you can get the same thing in any barbershop in Britain for £4 ($7)

As some New Yorkers say "Go figure"

Well, he is rather good.

And he lives (part time, I think) in Beckingham Palace, Sawbridge, Herts (which I passed a couple of times).

When I lived in Boston as a college student, I used to go to this high end placed called "John Delaria" (sp?). It was on par with a Vidal Sassoon salon. I paid $20 for a great cut, always looked good, and only had to cut my hair about three times over a 9-month period. It was expensive for a starving college student, but hey, it made it easier to get laid.

Now I go to a $10 Supercuts kinda place and rarely do I get a decent haircut. But there isn't anyplace around here that does a great job for even $20. You are looking at $75 minimum of the kind of haircut I got back in Boston.

We also giftwrap if the occasion calls for it.

I ended up with a great deal for hair cuts. I helped my friend completely gut his kitchen. Then put up new drywall, pull wires, cainets, etc... in eight days so they could move in. Well his wife works at one of those 60 dollar a haircut places. She told me to come in any time I want and no charge ever. She won't even accept a tip (I try every time).

When a woman pays $800.00 for a "haircut", and Beckam pays $550.00 to have his head shaved: these people are not paying for scissors and razors to cut their hair!

They are paying for (and attempting to be a part of)..... celebrity.

Most of them already have attained that goal. And are just staying in the bold print press, to maintain that status.

They also are paying to rent space on a seat that costs the person who actually cuts the hair, a lot of money. And this "haircutter" has an agent who knows how things are done.

The non celibrity folk who have money to burn, and also will pay this price to have scissors cut their non celebrity hair, are attempting to rub shoulders with people among who they will never really be a part of.

But they will spend whatever money it takes to try to associate themselves with....."fame".

And..... life is short.
