Hi tlspiegel-ga,

Thanks for the possible answer but this is from early 2005. Almost a
year and a half has passed since that time. Can you find any other
current data regarding this issue? Thanks.

I can certainly do that for you and what's more I will also visit!

How does $100,000 sound?

Reminds me of the story about Bernard Shaw.  Now that Probono has
admitted that he is a barber, we are justified to ask how good he is. 
But his admission that Daisy, his dear, 19 year-old Yorkshire Terrier,
won't let him cut her whiskers
without assistance suggests that a "customer" familiar with his work
is quite distrustful. ;)

I never 'admitted' that I was 'a barber'.

I wrote that I would do 'a haircut'.

There's a mega difference: barbers are for men; hairdressers are for women.

. . . yes, and primpers are for poodles . . .


!

I think daisy is younger than 19?? 
15 mabe??

In any case, I have to agree with myoarin. If Daisy needs to be held
down in order for Bryan to trim her whiskers, then I would probably
have to be tied down too if Bryan wanted to cut my blonde locks ;)

Quite right, of course.  I wanted to equate barber and barbarian, but
that is etymologically incorrect (as I already new, just wanted to
bring that up. :)
AND, actually you said that you hold Daisy while your daughter does the trimming.

(Why do dog's whisker have to be trimmed?  To please non-canines'
sense of aesthetics? That's doggone cruel.)

Ummm...I don't have statistics on the most expensive haircut as of
late. However, the average price for a haircut in the U.S. is about
$45, according to the  Professional Beauty Association, a trade
organization based in Scottsdale, Ariz. Then there is Frederique's
haircuts at Prive Salon in New York City's Soho Grand Hotel are
moderately priced by Manhattan standards at $125. Still yet, many of
Manhattan's music, television and film celebrities have their hair
done by Frederique's boss, Laurent Dufourg (not exactly a barber -
lol). He charges clients, who include  Cameron Diaz and Salma Hayek,
$350 and up. And, he's not the priciest in the "big apple". If you can
even get an appointment with Orlando Pita, owner of Orlo, in New York
City, you will be expected to cough up $800. His clients include 
Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow. Hmmm...I bet the average tip would feed a
small village in Africa for a week.
