Yesterday's Blind Items

This former A list reality star with a couple of her own shows to her credit was at Sundance. While there she rang up about $6000 in hair styling bills. When presented with the bill she said, "Umm, I usually get everything for free." The shop was not impressed with her cries that she would bring them fabulous publicity and they wouldn't even give her a discount.

  9. Paris has very little real hair so her "styling" bills have to be huge by default. It's all fake!

  10. I'm going to jump on the train bound for PARIS.

    Even though LC was on Laguna Beach and The Hills, I don't think Laguna Beach would count as "her own show." Wasn't that more of an ensemble?

  12. Jessica Simpson? Newlyweds was hugely popular so she might be former A-list reality. Seems like the kind of situation she might find herself in.

    Assuming she was at Sundace.

  13. Okay, I'm a man, so this is so out of my realm of experience, it's funny.
    By that, I mean I pay $15 including tip for a haircut - and the most I've ever paid a stylist was 2 years ago when I got a little wild and decided to do highlights - that only cost $80, again, including tip.
    How in God's name can you do $6k worth of work on a head of hair, and in less than 8 hours (I'm guessing that it took less than 8 hours?)?


    Can someone explain that to me?

  14. Highlights Bear? Good for you.

    There is no explanation for a $6,000 beauty shop bill.

  15. Unless you are getting a full weave, color, cut, condition, highlighting and have more than 2 people working on you because a full weave can take 12 hours with only one person, it is possible. But who gets that much work done without making sure what the charges are? At least Paris could pay them, but how stupid is the person who think a small business can absorb that cost. Fake hair ain't cheap.

    Oh come on. 6k in the space of a couple of days at a regular, non-celebrity hair salon? I could believe $600 but $6000? Even having every treatment possible couldn't ring that up. This blind item seems totally exaggerated or just out-and-out made up.

  17. I was at Sundance, but I didn't hear this story!! Thing is, at Sundance, the first week there was a blizzard and the second week it was still pretty damn cold and everyone wears beanies and hoods so no one sees the hair!!!! Guess this gal, whoever she is, stayed inside....hm, Paris, yeah, sounds about right!

  18. Whoever it is, I'm glad the shop made her pay up. Turd.

  19. I too am on the train to Paris.

  20. I think the Sundance Festival ran through this weekend, right? If it was LC, I know she was back in LA by the weekend b/c a friend of mine attended a big birthday party that LC threw for herself on Saturday.

    I was hoping he'd have some dirt for me, but he's the sort of person who is hopelessly star struck and impressed by that sort of thing. (Me, I'd be capturing all the drug use and vomiting on my cell phone!)

  21. paris. still douchetastic in 2010.

  22. High quality weaves can definitely cost thousands.

  23. @ Soph - It's possible that the salon raised its prices during Sundance (like hotels do for high-demand events). Plus, it depends who did the work...if that person is in high demand. The salon might charge $600 to $800/hour or more if they brought in a celebrity stylist for the week.

  24. So... did she leave them a nice $900 tip? No? Cow.

  25. hahahahha stupid bitch. PAY ME.

  26. Zandra where do you get your weaves done (or whoever you know that gets them)??
    Because I've gotten plenty of weaves before, and at the most it took 4 hours by a professional
    it wouldn't even take me 12 hours to do my own weave (A sew in).

    If this person got some sort of human hair lace front wig, I can see it costing a few thousand (A high definition custom wig starts at $4800, however it wouldn't get done in one day.) http://www.highdefinitionhair.com/products.htm

  27. @Renee - most white chicks can't do sew-ins, they would slip right out. So they usually have tiny tiny groups of fake hairs bonded with tiny groups of their own hair. A person with super thick hair might have 500+ bonds. When I had it done it took 2 people working for 7 hours. I've only had fake hair done, but real hair supposedly takes even longer.

  28. If it was "extensions" & not a weave, some people DO charge that much because of the technique involved in working with small areas of hair v.s. larger ones. It also depends upon the system used - the company I worked for charged around 1-2k for a full head & that was back in the '80's.

  29. Grrrr...these stories make me MAD. I would be to EMBARRASED to even ask that question even if it WAS the norm.

  30. why do people even use weaves. it sounds so expensive, time consuming and temporary. what ever happened to wigs (or hats, even).

  31. kate gosslins hair cost thousands

  32. Wow, I got my hair highlighted for the first time last month, and walked out of the salon having spent $175 (including tip). I felt like a decadent, narcissistic, self-important fool for blowing so much money on something so frivolous. I can't even comprehend spending $6,000.

  33. My daughter-in-law went to Park City during Sundance one year and managed to spend $900 on what looked like a bad fright wig. It can be done.

  34. Marina-

    If I could, I would get fake hair just so I could see how it would be to have thick, long beautiful hair ONCE in my life. But no, I have thin, shitty, baby fine hair that probably wouldn't even hold any type of weave or extensions so I cannot ever live my stupid beauty dream. That is why I would do it, just so I could feel pretty and feminine, instead of being stuck with this nasty crap that I have to keep short because it looks gross and is impossible to style when it's longer than 3-4 inches. So I understand why.
