| This contest is fueled by the following news: |
| | When it comes to politicians, looks the assets, which are as valuable
as for celebrities. Hairstyles are essential part of one's image, and
if you are a public figure you have to spend a pretty penny on looking
good and confident for your audience. However presidential candidate
John Edwards spending habits on hair styling drew many negative
comments from his opponents and news makers. The thing is, Edwards
visits styling salons every week and spends over $400 a haircut.
The hair design studio which he frequents is called Torrenueva Hair
Designs and is located in Beverly Hills.
The fancy hairdo habits of Mr. Edwards were published in the article
by Los Angeles Times, which also mentioned $250 haircut he recently
had while campaigning in Iowa.
Opponents say that in it's wise make sure your hair look good, but
it's ridiculous to waste such big money of luxury hairstyles. When you
want to make yourself represent the rights and votes of middle class,
doing things like that can only put a wall between you and the voters,
who never have the money or desire to spend this much on fancy hairstyles.
The LA Times article brings memories of another hairstyle spending
mania. In 1993 Bill Clinton delayed his flight from Los Angeles, just
so that he could visit a hair studio by famous stylist Cristophe, who
charges about $200. At that time it was thought to be the biggest
amount spent on a haircut by a politician. But times and hairstyles
are changing fast, and so are the hair styling prices. |
