For four decades, Joseph Torrenueva has cut the hair of Hollywood celebrities, from Marlon Brando to Bob Barker, so when a friend told him in 2003 that a presidential candidate needed grooming advice, he agreed to help.
The Beverly Hills hairstylist, a Democrat, said he hit it off with then-Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina at a meeting in Los Angeles that brought several fashion experts together to advise the candidate on his appearance. Since then, Torrenueva has cut Edwards's hair at least 16 times.
At first, the haircuts were free. But because Torrenueva often had to fly somewhere on the campaign trail to meet his client, he began charging $300 to $500 for each cut, plus the cost of airfare and hotels when he had to travel outside California.
Torrenueva said one haircut during the 2004 presidential race cost $1,250 because he traveled to Atlanta and lost two days of work.

Also take note of Hillary's $1,500 mop care costs.
Typical "limosine liberal" hypocrites -- for the poor people and the chiiiiiidren.
And they still look sickening. GAG
What a waste of money.
Meanwhile, Hillary wants to write off the cost of Bill’s dirty underwear from her taxes... but increase our taxes.
“Torrenueva said he normally charges men $175 when they come to his salon for a haircut.”
LOL.
What a racket.. Why in the name of everything holy does any one person need to spend that much money on a “haircut”. If you add up all my haircuts over the last ten years I don’t think it’ll amount to $1,500 but then again, I live in the other America.. The reality based America.
Wow! For 175 bucks a clip, this guy better plan on doing the lawn and the hedges as well!
And the haircut part of it is only twelve bucks.
BTW, I love the way this guy’s name translates from Spanish: “New Bull”!
Two Americas.
Wouldn’t that be “New Tower”?
You are correct! I jumped the gun(the hair dryer) on that one.
Flying in a hair stylist????!!! What blatant, nauseating, arrogant, vanity from a so-called public servant! What’s wrong with stopping in at the nearest Fantastic Sam’s?
Does he take bets too?
I guess breckboy is praying that “THE HAIR MAKES THE MAN.”
He’s tried everything else, and nothin’ worked.
HEY, BRECKBOY! HAIR IS JUST DEAD SKIN PUSHING AWAY FROM YOUR HEAD!
