The Price Of Being...
Don’t be fooled by Miss Von Teese’s polished perfection – this A-list lady doesn’t waste her cash on salon touch-ups, because she does her roots at home. “Blonde roots are showing,” she wrote on her Twitter, “Big day at the drugstore to pick up a box of blue/black! Hope the Goths didn’t beat me to it. Hate salons!” So there you have it, Dita’s glossy black locks set her back less than a fiver!PA Photos
With the salon treatments, the hair extensions and the cosmetic surgery, being an A-lister definitely isn't cheap. GLAMOUR.COM gives you the lowdown on how much Dita, Jennifer and co. REALLY spend on looking that good!
PA PhotosJennifer Aniston’s Tanning Beds
Looking like Jennifer Aniston sure ain’t cheap; the actress had admitted undergoing an operation on her nose back in 2007 (which costs over $7,000 for a top surgeon), visits LA’s Chris McMillan salon to get her hair done (and also flew the celeb stylist – who was responsible for the Rachel cut - to London for the premiere of Marley & Me at a reported cost of $40,000!) and has regular facials at the swanky Cristina Radu salon in Beverly Hills. But her cash splashing doesn’t end there – it’s reported that bronzed goddess Jen once blew $34,000 on a pair of Wolff tanning beds to keep at home!
PA PhotosLindsay Lohan’s Salon Habit
Despite her alleged money woes, La Lohan still blows $400 twice a week for a wash and blow-dry and $200 a week at the Andy Lecompte salon in Beverly Hills. Heard of the credit crunch, Linds?
PA PhotosAudrey Tautou’s Low Maintenance Regime
Forget dropping the average yearly wage on beauty treatments – low maintenance Audrey puts her gorgeous glow down to avoiding smoking and facials...once every six months to be exact. At around £100 a time, that makes her a relatively cheap date!
PA PhotosAshlee & Jessica Simpson’s Hairdresser
Both the Simpson sisters are fans (and personal pals) of stylist to the stars Ken Paves, who’s the only hair maestro they trust with their tresses. For Jessica it’s extensions, whole heads of colour and regular trims and treatments while Ashlee goes for her trademark red and a straightening blow dry.
PA PhotosHilary Duff’s 5 Hour Salon Trip
Another Ken Paves devotee, popstrel Hilary was papped after a five hour stint (yes, that’s five hours) in the salon recently, where she got her roots and make-up done and a whole head of extensions fitted. With the cheapest chop at the salon costing upwards of $125, we’re betting it wasn’t the cheapest way to spend Thursday afternoon.
PA PhotosAlexa Chung’s Bargain Bob
London gal Alexa has a distinctly un-diva like beauty regime. A fan of MAC and Chanel cosmetics, and Diptyque’s yummy fragrances, she does her own make-up for events and when she’s in her hometown gets her infamous bob cut in at the Daniel Hersheson salon for around £200.
PA PhotosDita Von Teese’s DIY Dye Jobs
Don’t be fooled by Miss Von Teese’s polished perfection – this A-list lady doesn’t waste her cash on salon touch-ups, because she does her roots at home. “Blonde roots are showing,” she wrote on her Twitter, “Big day at the drugstore to pick up a box of blue/black! Hope the Goths didn’t beat me to it. Hate salons!” So there you have it, Dita’s glossy black locks set her back less than a fiver!
PA PhotosEva Longoria’s Personal Trainer
Self-confessed ‘spa junkie’ Eva loves indulging in facials, massages and scrubs but her biggest beauty expense has got to be her personal trainer Patrick Murphy. She trains with him every day, and since celeb workout specialists can earn up to £100 an hour, looking like Gabrielle Solis clearly doesn’t come cheap. You do the math...
PA PhotosCameron Diaz’s A-List Highlights
Bottle blonde Cammie gets her California beach babe highlights done at Byron & Tracey in Beverly Hills (also the hairdressing haunt of the Black Eye Peas’ Fergie amongst other celebrity fans). Each sesh sets her back around a tidy $400.
PA PhotosColeen Rooney’s Two Salon Trips in 24 Hours
When you’re hubby’s Wayne Rooney, pinching the pennies isn’t really a consideration. Col spends mega bucks on keeping herself in tip top condition, even recently visiting Liverpool’s Barbara Daley salon twice in 24 hours, where prices are around £40 for a cut, £100 for a colour and £70 for a facial.
PA PhotosBeyoncé’s Way Out Wigs
Stage diva Beyoncé’s a big fan of Lace Front Wigs that help change up her look in a second. But with each specially designed one cashing in at around £1000, it’s an expensive habit. Still, when you’re earning $87 million a year, we don’t suppose it matters.
PA PhotosDemi Moore’s Full Body Makeover
According to The Daily Mail, in 2007 the now Mrs Ashton Kutcher forked out a whopping $500,000 on cosmetic surgery in one go – including liposuction, a breast lift, brow lift and surgery to correct her, erm, saggy knees.
PA Photos[b]Jennifer Lopez’ Gold Manicure<b/>
She’s also a regular visitor to the celeb hotspot Byron & Tracey, but J-Lo’s got even more expensive tastes than fancy haircuts. She loves gold gel manicures (which costs around $100...per nail!) and the $70-a-time Placenta Collagen Face Masks, which are made from the collagen fibres of, well, a placenta. Nice.
PA PhotosMadonna’s Oxygen Obsession
Pop queen Madonna may have hit the big 5-0 but she’s still got the complexion of a teenager. Wonder how? She visits her personal facialist Michelle Peck for Oxygen treatments before every single show when she’s on tour (where 95% pure oxygen is sprayed onto the face to make it plumper and firmer) and has even invested in Intraceuticals oxygen machines for each of her three homes – for $5,000 each! Plus, she visits Dr Frederic Brandt – one of the world’s most famous Botox therapists – and although he won’t confirm if Madge is a needle fan, each treatment costs over £200.
