$400 Follow-Up Report


Following R2B2's recent post on the topic of how in the hell John Edward's haircut could possibly cost $400, there was speculation from one of our Anonymous friends regarding the allegation that the haircut was more Supercuts than Frederic Fekkai.

Now, I can't say for sure that if you walked into Supercuts and requested it, you would walk out looking anything like the above picture, but Supercuts does in fact offer what looks to me pretty much like an exact replica of the John Edwards 'do (don't). It's on their website, and it's trade name is Tobias.

So there it is, ladies, gentlemen, and Anonymous and hence genderless: John Edwards not only gets his hair cut at Supercuts, he also asks specifically for the Tobias.

Personally, I'm glad. I don't like to think of a politician raising campaign money and then spending $400 on a haircut. Plus, an expensive haircut takes time, and he needs to be working on his platform and taking care of his wife, not getting a head massage.

1) that is clearly not the same haircut: it is a centre parting with messed up layering effect, and JE's is a right parting (except for some days when the stand-in does his hair and gets it on the wrong side) with nothing like the 'versitile' layering.
2) Even if JE's haircut was pretty much the same as Tobias's he wouldn't have got it from Supercuts; Supercuts are not capable of reliably giving you the same haircut.
3) oooh isn't JE's hair glossy and brown-- and surprisingly like a wig. I'm telling you, it costs money to make your expensively coloured hair look like it would blow off in a stiff breeze...
