QuoteReplyTopic: cutting hair for a million dollars? Posted: May 11 2003 at 10:40pm
the other week my mom husband and i were watching tv. celion dion commercial came on with her short hair in vegas. my mom made a comment how they are paying her a million dollars. my husband thought my mom ment to cut her hair. she ment for pl;aying in vegas. anyway my mom asked if i would cut my hair for a million dollars. i said no way! my husband teased he would cut my hair for that amount. they thought i was crazy. i explain i've had my hair growing for a long time it's apart of me. i wouldn't feel comfortable with myself. even with a wig. does anyone feel the same way? or am i just crazy?
Hey, I'm very attached to my long hair also. However..... I would cut it for a million dollars, then go the the best extension artist and have those extensions put in like Faith Hill has. They look so natural.
This is a fun topic, I like to dream.
I am a professional Hairstylist/Haircolorist with 19 years experience. I have traveled all over the country for my advanced education. I am also a salon owner.:)........and I LOVE Redken!!!

I don't think I would cut my hair for a million dollars, though. It's not the hair really, because that will grow back and you can get high quality extentions, like Lilli said.
I'm probably the only in thinking this, but I really think having that much money would make me very uncomfortable. I'm doing fine with the money that I have, which is nowhere near a million dollars!
If I was offered a million dollars to cut my hair I would cut every hair on my body. It is just hair! If you are a woman, look at all the women with cute short hairdos. I would think people would cut it for a lot less than a million even. It's just hair!!!

lilibeach gave a good answer. the only wayi would do that is if someone put me to sleep and put the extension in isla q. i understand a lot of people do feel uncomfortable having that much money. i would like to buy a house. we only rent and that is 1600 a month!
Half of it is because free money, the other half is when you see your hair split in 2 different places on the same strand, all you say to yourself is >_< . I'd start anew.
Then again there are hoo-haws answering to radio station calls to wax their entire body for 1 k$, canadian. Unless you're famous or someone has money to burn, it won't happen (the million$ part).
And I would demand half the payment in advance. Too much bullpoop going on nowadays to trust people with something as meaningless as their words.
Would I for less ? Yes, how much less, well that's the fun part. I can yank their chain until I am satifsied. (if you're thinking less than 5-figure sums, US$, you're delusional :P )
I hate all of the following and lots more : Fundamentalists, racists, sexists, fascists, ageists (people saying seniors = senile , kids = stupid , 18 = immature or a combo of them), and bigots for causes yet to receive their own designation.

So many thoughts... where to begin? This topic has been discussed elsewhere, but it seems a few new ideas popped into my head when reading it here.
In the past, my answer to this hypotethical query (at least, when the inducement level was not as large) has been something like this: Since I need money, I work. I don't hold fire sales on personal assets.
On TV the other day, Celine Dion was interviewed on "Dateline NBC" by Maria Shriver. She asked, "so, what about the haircut?" Celine's answer was (paraphrased, from memory): "During part of the show I am flying, and the hair would get caught up in the wires. Also, the stage leans forward, and it would force my head forward, and my hair would fall into my face." There you have it, FWIW.
Kintaro, your response reminded me of a certain joke, wherein the punch line is (paraphrased), "we've already established what you are, now we're just haggling on the price." Of course, I am not implying that a person who would make a decision to cut would be one of those people... but I was just reminded of that old joke.
The fact that this topic is discussed, and that some people can place a monetary value on it plainly tells me this one thing: That long hair is of significant value!

i also made a point to my mom. i said i have my long hair i know how it feels to have long hair. i've never had a million dollars. so not knowing what it feels like having a million dollars wouldn't bother me. i have put many years in my hair and knowlege. does that make sense?
Who's the richest person in the world? Bill Gates. What if his wife decided she wanted long hair? No amount of money can buy a real head of long hair. In at least one way, we're more rich than she is.

I deduce from your previous posts that YOU know the meaning of the word FANATIC.
I don't choose to describe myself as a fanatic because that implies shoving your views in the faces of people who hold expressly opposite views. Sound familiar?
I make choices for myself and my feelings are valid for myself .

Give me a break Uzma! A haircut is like that to you!!! I don't believe it, unless you're a fanatic of some sort.
Brent,
Let me see if I understand the sum total of some of the things you've posted recently in various fora here...
(a) You like short hair on women. No, you really like short hair on women. Actually, you really, really like short hair on women... yet...
(b) You post quite frequently on the Long Hair Support board. Curious. So...
(c) When "hallie" posted that she prefers her own hair at mid-back length instead of waist-length, you urged her to "try a very short cut like Halle Berry" on the flimsy basis of having a name with the same pronunciation. Then, within the same thread of discussion...
(d) You said that I "must admit though Halle Berry really does look great in ultra-short hair, it really does suit her wonderfully." I didn't realize this was the long-hair-support-yet-acknowledge-the-greatness-of-ultra-short-hair-on-actresses board. And still later, within the same thread of discussion...
(e) You stated that "some women do" look better in very short hair because "it shows off their feminine features more." And then here...
(f) You presume to judge another (who has professed that long hair is very important to her) to be a "fanatic," while demanding that she could not possibly feel that strongly on the issue.
Well Brent, it isn't your place to tell other people how they do or how they should feel about their hair. I have given you a lot of leeway here, but you do not seem to understand the basic precept of this board. Please note the name of this board. It is the "Long Hair Support" board. Without question, the sum total of your posts here do not constitute long hair support; on the contrary, your true colors show through loud and clear.
Do know that my patience for your presence here is wearing thin.

my point of this post was to have fun. not to put someone down. we can have different views but not to make fun of someone answer. again to have fun not to make fun of.
Dave and Uzma. PLEASE!!! What I'm writing is a little tongue in cheek, can't you tell??? Actually there are many, many absolutely gorgeous women with long hair.(I would love to meet long haired, past shoulder length haired women like Lucy Liu or Jennifer Lopez). Yes I love short hair on women but there are many long haired beauties who I adore! Please lighten up. I'm not being that GODAWFULHEAVY with you folks!!!
