WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrat John Edwards is trying to get out of a hairy situation, reimbursing his presidential campaign $800 for two visits with a Beverly Hills stylist. Two $400 cuts by stylist Joseph Torrenueva, who told The Associated Press that the former North Carolina senator is a longtime client, showed up on Edwards' campaign spending reports filed this weekend. Edwards spokesman Eric Schultz said it never should have been there.

"The bill was sent to the campaign. It was inadvertently paid," Schultz said. "John Edwards will be reimbursing the campaign."

Edwards is also the subject of a popular YouTube spoof poking fun at his youthful good looks. The video shows the candidate combing his tresses to the dubbed-in tune of "I Feel Pretty."

Federal Election Commission records show Edwards' campaign also spent $250 in services from Designworks Salon in Dubuque, Iowa, and $225 in services from the Pink Sapphire in Manchester, N.H.

Schultz said those services were legitimate campaign expenditures to prepare Edwards for media appearances.

Political candidates often have hair and makeup done before media appearances. Edwards rival Hillary Rodham Clinton got some attention last year when her campaign paid $2,500 for two hairstyling sessions that the campaign classified as media production expenses.

My, my, my..... That’s a mightly long way to go for a haircut. I guess only the very, very rich can afford it.

I wonder how many carbon credits he had to pay to get there

[Stultis]

Not even "metrosexual," but flat out fem:

Not to overstate the case, but I think this is a pretty big blunder for Edwards ... because it reinforces the vain, "pretty boy" reputation ... and as demonstrated on this thread, throws open for ridicule his "two Americas" mantra.

Hey, my wife cuts mine for free in the kitchen.

Well, the Silky One is doing his part to help his hairdresser make a nice living and run a business. The dumb part is that his hair would undoubtedly look exactly the same if he went to a decent barber and paid $20 for the same haircut.

[palmer]

There are two Americas: one that gets $10 haircuts and an infinitely smaller America that gets $400 haircuts.

I know he has few fans around here, but my new dem senator Webb gets $12 haircuts.

John Edwards, post-his much-needed Pink Sapphire "treatment":

$400 haircut! `Party of the Working Man’ LOL!

But...but...but...his father worked in the mills.

[isom35]

Coulter was of course right about this ______.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Two Americas: One that pays $400 for a haircut, and one that doesn’t.

[tumblindice]

Be careful: if he hears you mocked his Daddy . . .
he’ll scratch your eyes out!

[The Old Hoosier]

[oblomov]

Exactly. $400 would pay for 1 year and 3 months of haircuts for me. And I get my hair cut every three weeks.

[keat]

Well, here it is.

[bray]

Did she get some highlites too?? I guess I am in the other America where haircuts cost $10 with the tip.

[Long Island Pete]

What kind of a penis head pays $400 for a haircut?

[eureka!]

This really is too funny. Glad to see it getting some press. He really is one of us though. Indeed, I’m off to get my $400 haircut right now after my $225 facial...

[Cicero]

That’s the difference between Silky Pony and Hildabeast.

He gets embarrassed and gives the money back. She never gets embarrassed and never gives the money back.

[Fresh Wind]

He is a bigger sissy than Bill Clinton, who only got $200 haircuts.

Yeah, but Bill Clinton flew Air Force One to LA so he could get his $200 haircut. How much did THAT cost the taxpayer?

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

She never gets embarrassed and never gives the money back.

No pro ever does.
