63. What a difference her $1,200 cut & dye job makes!
Sun Nov 1, 2015, 03:48 AM
Nov 2015

So $600 for the cut & blow dry; $600 for the dye job; 20% tip adds up to $1440. And I'll bet cash money she got a mani-pedi & eyebrow shaping/tinting as well.

Hillary Clinton closed part of Bergdorf Goodman in New York for $600 haircut | Daily Mail Online

Part of Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue was put out of action on Friday
Would-be Democratic presidential nominee arrived with large entourage
Entered by side entrance before heading for exclusive John Barrett salon
Entire elevator bank shut down so Clinton could see regular hairdresser privately

Headline: Hillary Clinton closed part of a swanky New York department store so she could have a $600 haircut.

The article reports that a cut & blow dry at the John Barrett salon costs $600 and getting your hair colored can cost as much again. It also points out it is not known whether she actually paid for services, and if so, how much. If money did change hands, was it a "campaign cost"?

Part of Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue was put out of action on Friday while the would-be Democratic presidential nominee arrived with her large entourage. The former Secretary of State and her group were seen entering the building by a side entrance before heading for the exclusive John Barrett salon, according to the New York Post.

The salon is on the ninth floor of the department store. A source told the paper: ‘Staff closed off one side of Bergdorf’s so Hillary could come in privately to get her hair done.’ An elevator bank was shut down so she could ride up alone, and then she was styled in a private area of the salon. The store has four elevators close to the 58th Street exit that go to the salon. ‘Other customers didn’t get a glimpse.

Clinton is a regular client.



Editor’s Questions: Does Hillary feel the pain of the unemployed and the under employed? Does she understand that approximately half of all graduating collage seniors can’t find employment in the field they have their major? What has Hillary promised to do to bring jobs back onshore from China and other American job killing nations?

My comment: Well, thank god that none of the salon's other wealthy clients were able to sneak a FREE iphone snap of Hillary and avoid the $2700 "donation" required to have a picture taken with her at one of her "Conversations with Hillary" gated-estate soirees. I hope she actually paid from her personal wealth for her cut & dye job. But since the whole salon was closed down for serveral hours, who made up the difference in income for all the other salon stylists/shampoo givers/manicurists/masseuses, etc.?
