Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann has made headlines in the media for lots of reasons — her victory in the Iowa straw poll, her joke that Hurricane Irene was God’s warning to Washington about federal spending, to name a few – but now it’s her hairstyle that’s causing a buzz.
The Cristophe salon in downtown Washington, D.C. — made famous for cutting the Clintons’ hair when they were in the White House — says some of its customers are requesting the Bachmann ‘do.
“People come in with pictures of haircuts they want. Sometimes ripped out of magazines but now, with the new generation, on iPhones and iPads. And yes, we see her popping up quite a bit,” Philippe Depeyrot, the East Coast artistic director for the Cristophe Salons, told ABC News.
“Her cut is long, but not too long. A fair amount of layers, but not overwhelming,” Depeyrot noted. “It’s not hard to reproduce after you leave the shop and are styling it at home. It is something you can dress up or dress down, for both worlds, the professional world and the weekend.”
It’s not just in the nation’s capital that women want the Bachmann look. Stylists in New York and Los Angeles told the New York Daily News that more and more people are asking them for it, too. Angelo David, who has a salon on East 43rd Street in Manhattan, told the paper that he’s seen a spike in customers requesting the Bachmann look, a cut and style that he estimated to cost around $150 to $300.

Congrats to ABC for finally addressing the important issues facing this country - Bachman’s hair style.
And, there is also the Palin “do”.
What to do, what to do........
I’d settle for having hair.
I actually don’t like bachmanns hair, and I like Palins, although I prefer it up
I don’t recall any requests for a “Hillary” hairdo.
Perhaps a clothing designer could name a line of pantsuits after her, though.
Palin has thicker hair IMO, but her style would require more trims. Bachmann’s is less high maintenance. Wait . . .
You do realize I don’t have any idea of what I’m talking about, don’t you?
I like Michelle’s do. The layers and the length work well.
$150 to $300?! I think I’ll let my hair hang just the way it wants to.
I don’t recall any requests for a “Hillary” hairdo.
Hmmmmmm…can’t imagine why not????
Checkin’ out the do ... and, um, no thanks. Been there, done that. I think it’s actually kind of “blah.”
Quaker State and Penzoil were lobbying for her endorsements, though
Sarah has the best hair in politics - in fact her whole self is the most gorgeous.
Think MB is really nice looking also - but I vote for Sarah.
Both are beautiful ladies, but their hair is stringy around the bottom. Not flattering.

Too late, Omar the Tentmaker has naming rights.
Just a matter of time before the MSM did a hair story.
Much a-’do’ about nothing.
