Meet the American woman who spends 47K dlrs a year on her hair extensions!

NEW YORK - An American blonde dishes out a whopping 47,000 dollars annually on New York’s most expensive hair extensions to achieve a Rapunzel-like mane.randi Irwin, 28, is a regular at Gemini 14 on 14th Street near the West Village.

This high-end saloon charges 10,000 dollars a pop.

Irwin, a former-model-turned-foot-model and photographer from Park Slope, has her hair done here thrice a year. But this is not all; her color sessions every six weeks come at nearly 300dollars per appointment and 65dollars twice a week.

“It’s my biggest expense,” the New York Post quoted Irwin, as saying.

She added: “But it makes me feel beautiful. And I’ve worked hard for what I have.”

Irwin’s craze for hair extensions started about six years ago when she worked as a fashion model.

She said: “I couldn’t believe it when I first saw myself with the extensions. It was the hair I’d always wanted, and it looked so real.”

According to Gemini 14 salon co-owner Kristina, the extensions are made from “virgin” hair donated by Indian women to Hindu temples as part of a religious offering.

Barricelli added that the hair company she buys from, Great Lengths, uses a keratin protein polymer bond to adhere the extensions, so they last longer, cause less damage and look more natural than brands that use tar, silicone and glues.

Barricelli said: “It’s the Rolls-Royce of hair extensions.

“Look, I don’t want anyone to mortgage their house for their hair. But if you can afford it, it’s the best you can buy. You’re guaranteed a perfect match with your hair color, with the best quality hair you can find.” (ANI)
