For those with more money than sense


I'm horrified to read a news report that a hairdresser in Britain is charging his celebrity clients more than US $32,000 for a hairdo!

A celebrity stylist is charging £20,000 for a wash, cut and blow dry.

Stuart Phillips' salon in London's Covent Garden has Swarovski crystal chandeliers and Japanese shampoo beds.

Clients are not only offered a treat for their hair but they can have champagne on tap and order anything from the menu at the five-star Covent Garden Hotel just across the road.




Clients flying in from Moscow or New York will be put up for two nights in the hotel.

Bodyguards, interpreters or personal chefs can also be provided. Plus a chauffeur.

Stuart told the Daily Mirror: "You get treated like a king or queen, it's glamour and luxury all the way - and you will leave looking a million dollars.

"I love it because the client is smiling all day and it's the best job in the world."


Mr. Phillips, you could lay on hot and cold running servants, a five-star meal, and a harem at my beck and call - I'm still not paying that much to get my hair cut! Even if I could afford it!

Ye Gods and little fishes . . .

More money than sense is right... BUT, you have to admire his marketing skills to get the fools to bite on it!

You know what the difference between a good haircut and a bad one is?









About two weeks.


(Bada bing, bada boom!)

If some damned sucker wants to pay that much for a haircut, no-one has the right to say no. (Unless they're government employees and the cost isn't coming out of their personal wages, of course)
