Haircut Poll.

[jakem]

How do you feel about what candidates pay for their haircuts...

[donheld]

1. $8 where the hell is that?

They charge $15 in Denver

[jakem]

2. I dunno, I live in the middle of nowhere.

But the barber here is still around $8

I go to the 'stylist' costing me $18, but then I just use federal matching funds....

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

3. Vote Kucinich!

Guaranteed he didn't spend big bucks on a haircut!

He can spend it on fuel to bring the troops home.

[Cobalt Violet]

7. I wouldn't be so sure about that.

I hope he didn't go to a sweatshop for his hair do. I would not like that at all.

[JVS]

4. real leaders don't have hair

[Colobo]

5. Had the news been about a Republican

What would the reaction be?

[JVS]

6. point+laugh

[Blue Belle]

16. The reaction would be to tell them they got ripped off!!

But everyone knows that Republicans all go to the same stylist to get that Jerry-Falwell over-hair sprayed pompadour. :eyes:

[GirlinContempt]

18. Outrage.

[sandnsea]

30. They're singing "bomb bomb bomb.."

"bomb bomb Iran"

Which, YES, is significantly more important than haircuts. And, it is also on MSNBC.

[Cobalt Violet]

8. I voted justified.

[maine_raptor]

9. I vote for "Bald"

And if the cost of a haircut (or the size of a house) is to be the measure of a candidate's worth, then I suggest, politely, that you get your head out of your ass.

How many times does history have to show that electing someone for superficial ("the kinda guy you want to have a beer with") reasons only puts crappy leaders in power before people wake up?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

10. Supercuts here is a whopping $12.00 plus tip. I went a few times but have succumbed

to going back to my favorite salon after a near disaster. My salon charges $39.00 for cut and blowout.

[Cobalt Violet]

12. I'm glad you went back to a real salon.

Supercuts can charge so low a price because the underpay their works to the point that many quailify for foodstamps and medicaid, just like Wal-Mart.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

17. Like Wal-mart though, if you are on a very limited income which I was on, Supercuts

was the only solution at the time. Even now, I go far and between needed haircuts. I do my own coloring.

15. Hillary Clinton's $1500 Haircuts, Expensed to the Campaign

HILLARY GATHERS AN ARMY
By IAN BISHOP
Post Correspondent

July 24, 2006 -- WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign army has increased its ranks to 50 staffers and more than 20 consultants, specialists in everything from fund-raising to speech-writing to hairstyling and makeup.

Clinton, the likely 2008 Democratic White House front-runner, ponied up nearly $3,000 in campaign cash for her blond tresses to get some presidential pampering from acclaimed D.C. stylist Isabelle Goetz.

Recently released federal fund-raising records show Clinton shelled out $1,500 in April for Goetz to carefully craft her coiffure and another $1,000 for a camera-ready clip in May.

She passed off both styling sessions as "media production" expenses.

Clinton was so desperate for Goetz to style her gilded mane, she picked up the scissor siren's $405 travel tab in April and a $38 expenses tab in May.

Goetz, a fixture at the swank Cristophe salon and the favored stylist of John Kerry, has been clipping the former first lady's locks for years - she's credited for updating Clinton's coif from country to chic. To complement the touch-up of her tresses, Clinton invested another $3,000 for makeup maestro Barbara Lacy to brush on some blush.

Lacy is a Tinseltown pro who applied the makeup to actors' mugs in movies including "Minority Report," "Runaway Bride," "National Treasure" and "In the Line of Fire."

She can also take credit for working the West Wing - the NBC version. Clinton paid Lacy an eye-popping $1,600 for some eye-lining in mid-May and another mind-boggling $1,300 for some makeup two weeks later.

Again, Clinton justified the makeovers as a media production expense.

25. Lemme get this straight

All day yesterday you justified Edwards' haircuts because he had to fly someone in, etc etc.

Now you post Hillary haircut trash??

How do you reconcile this?

[spin]

11. Hell, I shaved all my hair off...

my hair had decided to leave me anyway. My grandkids call it my Dr. Evil look.

I might even vote for Edwards if he shaved his head...he would look a lot less like a pretty boy.

[Nimrod2005]

13. Supercuts is $15.00 here, and I leave a $3.00 tip...

[Cobalt Violet]

14. Do you shop at Wal-Mart too? n/t

[Nimrod2005]

20. Never, why?

[Cobalt Violet]

21. Just wondering if there is reason you don't shop there?

[Nimrod2005]

23. Target is around the corner from me, WM is about 7 miles away

[sandnsea]

29. Excuse me

Do not tell people who are choosing between medicine and food, and manage to squeeze out $12 for a haircut - where to shop. I used to be sympathetic to the no shopping at Walmart campaign - until I realized the people saying not to shop there were making millions from stocks that exploit a different group of workers - and spending their "earnings" on $400 and $1500 haircuts.

This is not everybody, of course, but I've seen far too much of this on DU the last few weeks to not notice an unsettling trend.

[cooolandrew]

19. To be fair a lot of what you contribute for is image, if you account for adverts.

[Hubert Flottz]

22. He should do like me and abstain from haircuts.

I joined the Cousin It club for men years ago and I've save loads of cash to buy wine with.

[frylock]

24. which of the two americas does one need to live in to pay $400 for a haircut?

that's all I'd like to know.

[sandnsea]

26. According to some

They pay $250 for hair cuts and live in the 2nd America - you know, they "struggle" like everybody else. :eyes:

[Lorien]

27. I guess they only get one haircut a year then

that's about TWICE what I pay yearly at the salon!

[frylock]

28. i spend about $30, with a tip
