Paris Jackson seems to return to normal life after her father’s shocking demise. Paris was recently spotted at a salon where she was accompanied by her brothers and bodyguards. The salon which offers services to the likes of Madonna, Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez is located on Melrose Avenue.

The 11-year-old Paris Jackson recently visited Andy Lecompton’s shop at L.A, with her two brothers – Prince Michael and Blanket. At this top celebrity salon, she received treatment for hair and nails. Surprisingly, her guardian Katherine Jackson was nowhere to be seen as the kids went to the salon and came back after getting their hair done.

Michael Jackson’s offspring got her nails painted black before her hair was washed and cut. This time her hair was not whisked away by her bodyguards. Remember, the last Paris Jackson Haircut had attracted lot of attention. It was said that after her haircut, Paris’s hair was taken away by her bodyguards and put in a plastic bag. The Jackson’s did not leave even a single strand of hair as it was swept from the salon to ensure that her DNA could not be used for paternity testing.

Comparatively speaking, this recent Paris Jackson haircut was a low key affair. However, other customers present at the salon said there was something strange about the kids. They hardly showed any sort of emotion. They weren’t like normal children at all because they seemed to have no joy or playfulness about them. This is probably because the kids have yet to recover completely following MJ’s death.

Recently, another celebrity offspring got her hair done. Suri Cruise – the three-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes also got a new hairstyle. She swapped her usual loose locks for a ponytail fastened with a pretty white ribbon and clips.

I have to say that celebrity hairstyles are always a widely discussed topic. Be it a Paris Jackson haircut or Suri Cruise haircut, celebrity hairstyles will always attract huge attention from everyone.

Hairdressing scissors are often used by stylists to cut or trim hair. Once a haircut is finished, the client pays and leaves the salon, while the stylist sweep the hair and cleans up the area. So ironically, client’s hair is of no value to any hairstylist. However, if your client is a celebrity, then you have a better chance of becoming a millionaire!

Celebrity hair always attracts attention and fetches good money. Recently, Elvis Presley’s hair was sold at an auction for more than $18,000. The King of Rock n Roll was definitely a great singer but I fail to understand why one would pay so much money for a small chunk of Elvis hair? It’s believed that the locks were snipped from Presley with the help of hairdressing scissors when he joined the Army in 1958.

The most interesting thing about the auction of Elvis hair was that nobody ever questioned their authenticity! No DNA test was carried out on the hair but the auctioneer quoted “an expert in celebrity hair authentication,” John Reznikoff, saying it matched the Elvis hair he has in his collection.

I have been pondering over the thought as to why celebrity hair is in so much demand? Why is it that people are ready to spend crazy amounts of money, just for the sake of a few hair locks! Why does celebrity hair get auctioned for high money whereas hair of common people like you and me find their place in the trash can!

You all might remember how the haircut of MJ’s daughter had created a sensation a few weeks ago. The Paris Jackson haircut attracted such coverage that it became a trendsetter. To be frank her stylists did nothing special with her style. They just cut her hair with hairdressing scissors and styled them a bit to give her a cute look. There was no special treatment given to her hair, but I guess celebrity hair has some special charm that they get so much attention.

After Rihanna revealed her new hair style a few days ago, it was time for Drew Barrymore to follow her footsteps. She has ditched her previous hairstyle and is sporting a new cool hairstyle that seems to be textured with some quality hair shears.

So, if you’re looking for hair inspiration for a hot new autumn look, then look no further then Drew Barrymore. She has been flaunting her brand new sophisticated hairstyle which was achieved with the help of professional hairdressing scissors at every opportunity that she gets. Recently she was seen flaunting it when she stepped out on ‘The Tonight Show with Conran O’Brien.’

Undoubtedly, she looked hotter than ever as her new hairstyle suited perfectly to her classic round face. With the help of some hair shears, Drew has returned to the bleach-blonde Drew that we’ve all grown to love.

I wonder how Alexa Chung convinced Drew to ditch her earlier dip-dye hairstyle. But I have to give credit to this stylist as she performed some great texturizing techniques with the help of hair shears and thinning shears. And all that hard work has finally resulted into this cool and chic – perfect hairstyle for Drew’s effortless look.

Of course this new celebrity hairstyle will attract many young women to copy Drew’s blonde look. But if you are planning to do so, I would recommend an icy white blonde to carry off the contrast with the darker color. But remember that this will affect your whole look. So think twice before committing to this style and remember to use only quality hair shears while styling your hair.

Paris Jackson, the daughter of Michael Jackson recently had a haircut in a salon in Las Vegas and that has attracted lot of interest from people. Her guardian Katherine Jackson along with security took the girl for hair and nails in a salon. So what’s the big deal? Each of us visits a salon at sometime or the other.

But the Paris Jackson haircut has become one of the most discussed topics. Probably, the haircut was not as important as what happened after the process. Once the job was done, the security was told to collect each and every lock of Paris’s hair and put it in a plastic bag. She used to sport long hair before the cut and blow-dry job, and after that every single strand was swept from the salon.

If you are thinking this was done due to the value of celebrity hair, then you are wrong. This secret hair cleaning process was done to make sure that her DNA won’t be used for paternity testing.

Since MJ’s death, there have been lots of rumors that have challenged his fatherhood towards his children. Recently, it was rumored that Paris’ brother Blanket was Macauley Culkin’s son and not of Jacko. And after Mark Lester was linked to be Paris’s dad, her guardians did not want anyone to misuse her hair for testifying her paternity.

This story seems to be true and not just any rumor because when Paris Jackson’s haircut was in progress, a local TV reporter Alicia Jacobs was sitting next to her. Of course it was not to capture how the celebrity hair cut is done but to have her own hair styled. And that’s when she overheard security being told to pick up every hair strand of Paris. Jacobs exclaimed, “Can you imagine the value of Paris’s hair? DNA – the truth, finally.”

This incident shows how powerful the belongings of celebrities can be. Common people like us will never attract such attention if we were to have a haircut. But after all controversy surrounding Paris Jackson’s haircut is not a common thing, considering all that’s been going on with MJ’s family. And therefore it proves very special and attracts so many eyeballs!
