In the uproar following the disclosure of John Edwards' $400 haircut, Mitt Romney slammed the Democratic candidate, saying, “You know I think John Edwards was right. There are two Americas. There is the America where people pay $400 for a haircut and then there is everybody else.”
At that time, Romney claimed that his haircuts cost $50, including the tip.
Perhaps, but The Politico recently reported on a $300 payment made to California company Hidden Beauty for “communications consulting”. What does “communications consulting” entail?
Politico reports that “‘communications consulting' is how presidential candidate Mitt Romney recorded $300 in payments to a California company that describes itself as ‘a mobile beauty team for hair, makeup and men's grooming and spa services.' Romney spokesman Kevin Madden confirmed that the payments — actually two separate $150 charges — were for makeup, though he said the former Massachusetts governor had only one session with Hidden Beauty of West Hills, Calif.”
