The most expensive hair in the world
A fan paid £2.300,00 for a single hair of one of the most famous Beatle's musicians John Lennon (photo right).
At an auction at the record fair in Gerona (Spain)a bidder from Hong Kong took possession of the hair. The organizers of the auction announced it as 'the most expensive hair of the world.' Lennon pulled the hair out on the 26th of August, 1964 and gave it to a fan. Afterwards he was killed in New York in 1980.
A certificate of a well-known English firm stated the authenticity of the hair. The Beatles fan from Hongkong, that attended the auction with the help of a Spanish intermediary, would even have paid a maximum amount of £7.000,00. The Star Stylist Raffel Pagés, that owns a Hairdresser's Museum stopped bidding at an amount of £2.000,00.
The most expensive hairdressers of the world
Of course it is in New York - well-known for the worlwide most expensive city of hairdresser's services. The owner is Orlando Pita, hairstylist of models like Naomi Campbell (Salon Orlo in the Gansevoort Street).
The full procedure, cutting, washing and blow-drying takes about 80 minutes. And the amount to be paid is USD 800 - an average price per nimute of USD 10.
Mr. Pita defends his (even for New Yorkers) extreme high price saying: "Your hair is how people see you. You can for example spend lots of money for clothes, but your hair you wear every day. Also this luxury article (haircut) it is not about am I worth it? Do I really need it? No, it is only about: "Can I pay for it?"
