The haircut, the basic of all hair grooming acts, can come anywhere between practical frugality and stylish squandering. When it comes to hair spending, there are many people who confessed not willing to pay for a cent to cut strands that will grow back anyway. It’s quite easy to understand – a scissor, a comb and a friend with 20-20 vision is all you need. One can even ditch the comb and the friend for a DIY haircut. In contrast, there are those who have actually spent an equivalent to a home down payment just to tame their mane.
So what is the price of a haircut people are willing to pay? We rounded upa list of individuals who have consciously and willingly spent extravagantly for a not-so-simple haircut, a mix of men and women who represent the hair-raising price range that extreme tightwads merely consider ridiculous luxury.
While men get an equal share of the roster in this list, we believe that thousands of dollars more have been spent by anonymous hair divas from the time of Farrah Fawcett’s ‘70s angel waves to Kate Middleton’s Chelsea Blowdry today.
What are the most expensive haircuts ever, and whose heads do these mega manes adorn? Here’s our list, from the so expensive up to the so overpriced.
10. Jennifer Lopez

9. Jennifer Aniston

8. Rhianna

7. Michael Douglas

6. David Beckham

5. Beverley Lateo

4. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah

3. First Lady Mamie Eisenhower

We will place Arden’s cutting and styling fee as easy guesswork (given her renowned skills and her client’s social status), and so it is justifiable to assume that it was a megabuck bang. Also, knockoffs of the Mamie Bangs (ready-made bangs that were the craze back then) flew off the shelves at $15 to $25 each piece, and that’s the 1950s.
2. John Paul Dejoria

1. Anne Hathaway

Why? Director Tim Hooper wanted a really savage haircut using a knife to make Anne’s languishing Fantine look realistic. West End actress Nicola Sloane was entrusted with “hacking” the hair in the scene where Fantine sells her hair in exchange for an embarrassing sum. The award-winning actress cried buckets after the shoot for the murdered hair which she’s been growing for three years. But contrary to Fantine’s fate, Anne’s brave act in the service of her art was rewarded with a hefty (reportedly) $8 million paycheck! That makes it the most expensive haircut in Hollywood to date.
BOLLYWOOD'S 10 MOST POPULAR HAIR STYLES
1) The Sadhana Cut

Besides making the tight-fitting churidaar a rage in Waqt, Sadhana also made the Audrey Hepburn-inspired fringe a phenomenon back in the ‘60s. The style was inspired from Audrey’s look in Roman Holiday. Sadhana’s wispy micro fringe gave a seductive but sweet look to her character in Waqt. Others have also tried to recreate the look, but none have come close to the impact that this style had over people.
2) The Bouffant

Our gorgeous Bollywood beauties loved to pile their hair in a bouffant and let it hang along the sides. That was another fashion fad of the ‘60s. From the glamorous Sharmila Tagore, to the elegant Waheeda Rahman and Saira Banu, nobody could resist the beauty of a bulky bouffant.
3) Shammi Kapoor’s Ducktail hairdo

When he wasn’t busy crying ‘Yahoo’ or dazzling ladies in his trademark cocky swagger, he was busy ensuring that his ducktail hairstyle with the side fringe became a trend! So much so, that the style was mirrored by all the generations of men. Yes, that’s how awesome this guy was.
4) Dimple Kapadia's hairdo in Saagar

The hairstyle of the ‘80s meant more volume. However, people were simply crazy about Dimple Kapadia’s hairdo in Saagar. Dimple’s luscious, auburn mane was the second most talked about aspect of the film, after her brief topless moment in Saagar. The famous ‘Saagar Choti’, which is the Indian version of the French plate, also borrows the name from the film.
5) Amitabh Bachchan’s side burns

The actor made the Elvis Presley look popular in the ‘80s. Long, middle-parted hair, with thick sideburns came to the fore with films like Deewar, Nastik and Kasauti. Young boys, too, took to this style and they were seen sporting side burns with long hair, much to the chagrin of teachers and parents.
6) Sanjay Dutt's long hair

Among the males, no one wore his hair (and still does) with more élan than Sanjay Dutt. Long, unkempt, colored - it accentuated his sexuality in films such as Saajan, Rocky and the ‘90 hit, Thaanedar. He is the first star from Bollywood to start the long hair trend and the youth went gaga over the look.
7) Poker straight hair

So popular was Karisma Kapoor’s severely straightened hair in Raja Hindustani, that the actress kept the style in many of her later films. Taking a cue from the actress was another B-town beauty, Preity Zinta, in her erstwhile hit, Kal Ho Na Ho. In effect, many women queued up to salons to get their hair straightened, too!
8) Aamir's Spikes in Dil Chahta Hai

Aamir's goatee that he sported in Dil Chahta Hai was perhaps his most trendsetting look. The urban youth look portrayed by Aamir Khan was sostylish that swept through the young populace. Soon enough, the coming-of-age movie made the goatee and spiky hairstyle a popular choice and quite a strong fashion statement among movie lovers.
9) Aamir Khan’s Ghajini look

A lot has also been written and spoken about Aamir’s chiselled six-pack look in Ghajini. However, the film sets trends in more than one. It gave a fresh new, bald look to Aamir that many of us would not have ever imagined, and also brought back the trend of action films in Bollywood. His fans couldn’t resist trying out the new hip, bald look. After all, who knew, shaving your head would be considered so cool?
10) Salman Khan’s Tere Naam look

He could possibly wear rags and even that would become a rage among people, for his fans love to ape whatever he does; which is why it didn't come as a shock when his hideous and messy long hairdo in Tere Naam was copied all across India. Truth be told, it would have looked a big hot mess on anyone else.
