I bet you can’t guess…..
FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS!!! $400. You read that right. FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS per haircut!!!
What. Does he get one hair cut at a time???
Well, according to his stylist he’s been getting these haircuts for a while. The Democratic National Committee has picked the tab up for him on occasion. To think of what our tax dollars pay for, especially considering we just paid our taxes!!!!
And the feminine spas he enjoys are pretty pricey too …
WASHINGTON - Looking pretty is costing John Edwards’ presidential campaign a lot of pennies. The Democrat’s campaign committee picked up the tab for two haircuts at $400 each by celebrity stylist Joseph Torrenueva of Beverly Hills, Calif., according to a financial report filed with the Federal Election Commission.
FEC records show Edwards also availed himself of $250 in services from a trendy salon and spa in Dubuque, Iowa, and $225 in services from the Pink Sapphire in Manchester, N.H., which is described on its Web site as “a unique boutique for the mind, body and face” that caters mostly to women.
A spokeswoman for Edwards’ campaign did not respond to requests for comment.
I bet she didn’t!!! lol
Torrenueva  who specializes in men’s haircuts  confirmed in an interview with The Associated Press that Edwards is a longtime client and friend.
“I do cut his hair and I have cut it for quite a while,” Torrenueva said. “We’ve been friends a long time.”
Referring to a picture of Edwards published Tuesday in The Los Angeles Times, Torrenueva said: “That’s my cut.” The stylist said he couldn’t vouch for the source of Edwards’ haircuts in other photos.
One reason the cost of the cut was so steep even by Beverly Hills standards is that Torrenueva went to Edwards rather than the candidate coming into the stylist’s salon a block off Rodeo Drive.
“I go to him wherever convenient,” Torrenueva said. He declined to identify where the cuts paid for by the campaign took place.
And there’s more….
Campaign records also show the former North Carolina senator’s campaign paid $248 on March 1 to the Designworks Salon in Dubuque.
According to Designworks’ Web site, the salon and spa features a wide variety of beauty and health services, including massages, facials, body polishes, self tanners, and rosemary mint and Caribbean therapy body wraps.
Apparently, those were fees for doing his make-up for television appearances.
This makes me feel a lot better about Edwards’ concerns about the two Americas. It’s obvious he’s really in touch with the poor of America! I’m sure he’s 100% sincere in his concerns for the poor.
Have you seen his modest digs? and how they treat their new neighbors?

Does Senator John Opee Edwards realize that the Death Star II crew dogs don’t vote for a phony candidate that gets…$400 haircuts? Let’s hear it for the _______ KID!
Brylcream? Vitalis? Groom & Clean? Aqua Velva? Head & Shoulders? Hotcomb? Selsun Blue? How much does Senator Barack Hussein Obama pay for a haircut? How much does HILLARY pay for one?!

the DNC DID NOT pick up the tab and if this is all you’ve got on John Edwards…road to the White House is an easy one! nice try. Let’s talk about the problems in this country…oh wait you can’t because your guys are doing nothing and the majority of Americans think you are utterly incompentant! I’ll take good looking WITH a brain over the current num-chucks running our country in the White House!!! BTW….
“As for the haircuts, the bill was sent to the campaign, it was paid in error, and Edwards will be reimbursing the campaign,” says campaign spokesperson Eric Schultz.”

Calm down ‘ctiff’… Not worth getting all hyped up over a phony ‘Dippity Do Left’ millionaire trial lawyer that represents the poor and lower middle class Americons and illegal aliens
while getting…$400 haircuts! I hear Obama’s haircuts are only $200 for it’s easier to trim around his ears! Beth - No doubt ‘ctiff is miffed’ that the only Democratic two-term president since World War II is Bubba ‘Stainmeister’ Clinton!
That’s over…62 years ago? OUCH!
