Sometimes I wonder what people who make huge Wall Street salaries can possibly find to blow all that money on. Well, here's an answer:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/21/fashion/new-york-mens-haircut-price.htmlIf I get charged $20 for a haircut, that strikes me as extravagant, and these people are paying forty times as much. And doing it multiple times per month, too! I can usually get by with one cut every two or three months.
The sad part is that not everyone who pays these ludicrous prices is even rich:
Martial Vivot, a former Parisian who founded Salon Pour Hommes in 2008, charges $320 for one of his signature cuts. Recently, he said, he saw a client bagging groceries at the Whole Foods in Columbus Circle. I felt like, Oh, wow, he said. I wondered if he could afford it.
But all is not lost! One of the stylists seems commendably Mustachian, if you can use that word for someone who charges $200 for a haircut:
Robin Capili, a stylist at Sally Hershberger who trained at a barbershop (and who charges a relatively more affordable $200), said hed never spend $10,000 a month. Id invest in property, he said. A condo maybe.
Can you be a Mustachian even if your job involves charging absurd prices to spendypants people?
