UnbeWEAVEable! $47,000 a Year for Hair Extensions


Brandi Irwin (above and below) of Park Slope Brooklyn spends $47,000 per year on hair extensions! From The New York Post
Welcome to Gemini 14 on 14th Street near the West Village, home to the city’s most expensive hair extensions — which cost $10,000 a pop. Irwin has hers put in three times a year. Add to that her color sessions every six weeks at about $300 per appointment and $65 blowouts twice a week and she’s forking out roughly $47,000 a year to achieve her Rapunzel-like mane (including tips). In short, what most of us would pay for a car, Irwin blows on her crowning glory — every year.

For $47,000/year, that weave better clean my bathroom, prepare my taxes and sing me a lullaby at night - instead of just lazily sitting there on top of my head!
