CASH AND COIF: KERRY HAIRCUT COSTS $150
**Exclusive**
Democrat all-star John Kerry of Massachusetts is positioning himself as a populist politician while he takes the first step for a White House run...
But the self-described "Man of The People" pays $150 to get his hair styled and shampooed -- the cost of feeding a family of three for two weeks!

Maintaining his reputation for best hair in the Senate, Kerry was recently seen at Washington's famed Cristophe Salon, according to sources, getting perfectly cleaned and coifed by Isabel Goetz, Hillary Clinton's hairstylist.
Between salon runs, Kerry has been on the stump advocating "the needs of average working Americans, middle-class families" who are "struggling harder and harder on quality of life issues."
"When it comes to his hair, Mr. Kerry is very, very particular, " says a stylist source. "The coloring and the highlighting, the layering... but the results are fabulous."
Kerry's haircare has become legend in media circles.
"It's always a fight to get mirror time," notes one green room insider at FOX NEWS's D.C. bureau. "He obsessively primps and poses before he goes on the air."
**Update: Kerry Confirms Cristophe Hair Cut Late Monday; But Salon Claims Men Shampoo and Cut Only Runs $75, not $150.
