Forget about those discount $500 haircut places, Edwards has gotten a $1,250 haircut! He is definately a man of the people.

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.
"He has nice hair," the stylist said of Edwards in an interview. "I try to make the man handsome, strong, more mature and these are the things, as an expert, that's what we do."

I remember when Clinton did that ($1000 haircut) in LA during his presidency.
Makes me kinda wonder if I did the right thing once, back when mom worked for the Governor of WV. (I was recruited to date his neice when she came to Charleston). I was sixteen, and later I declined a chance to be a page for Senator Byrd...
Those high rollers live pretty good...
