Hey Ester, you are just another two minute fame monger. You sold out! I hope it pays off, because your brand is finished.
Ya’ll are asking what the heck is the Antman talking about uh? I’m talking about Ester, the owner of the Hair Saloon where Britney Spears had her head shaved and her decision to sell everything Britney left behind; her hair, her Redbull can, and blue bic lighter! Ester, the “I’m gonna get mine molester” is asking a cool million dollars for her Britney booty, (booty being another term for treasure, so get your mind out of the gutter). She is a Punk a_ _ fool!
Why is this a problem? Ester owns a Hair Saloon in CA and gets a celebrity to visit. Rather than capitalize on this in order to get more celebrities and grow her business by doing, what she does best, she put’s my girls stuff up to the highest bidder. Foolish! I tell ya, it’s all ya need to know. She couldn’t get another Celebrity to show up at that saloon now if their life depended on it.
Unfortunately, our girl Ester is not uncommon. To many times we all look to cash in. I’m a git mine, is far too often the rally cry of many. From billion dollar businesses to the bully at school, we are all too quick to sell tomorrow for today’s going rate. How much we leave on the table will never be known, but I promise you, ya’ll are leaving money on the table when you git short sighted. Think stategically about your customers, look at the big picture when it comes to your readers and supporters. Don’t be so quick to follow the money, remember why you do what you do, why you sell the products you do, why you are in business you are in, why you write what you write and if you do, a Britney visit will get you a lot more than a chance to sell some hair. It might get you two more Britneys’
Ester husband said ” We still don’t know why Britney chose our shop. We’ll probably never know,” and he is probably right they won’t ever know. You know what I DO know . . . is that another celebrity won’t come with in a hundred miles of that shop, EVER! So I hope they get their cool mill, cause in about a week they will be back to being a cheezy, low-end saloon, dying my Aunt Gertrudes hair blue.
Way to go, Ester, way to go!

According to a little bird I know (my co-blogger), I heard that the first hair salon Britney went to refused to shave her head. Perhaps they were thinking business strategy and didn’t want to be known as the place that screwed up celebrity heads.

I think Marilla makes a good point. Being the salon where Britney shaved her head probably isn’t the type of thing that was going to attract more celebrities. It’s tough to benefit from being the host of a celebrity nervous breakdown.
I agree that selling out your customers is a bad move, and I think they should have just kept quiet and waited for the press to move on. I just do see any way they could have spun this to actually attract more celebrity clients.
