Heard on the Hill: Nancy Pelosi’s Salon a Cut Above
Looming government shutdowns, confidence-shaking debt limit standoffs and divisive payroll tax melees may rattle rank-and-file Members. But absolutely nothing stops the impeccably coiffed House Minority Leader from tending to her famous ’do.
California Democrat Nancy Pelosi starts each and every morning with a quick trip to her daily hair appointment at the Four Seasons Salon, George.
Pelosi’s hair stylist dished to HOH about her routine trips, which occur five days a week and consist of blow-drying and styling. Occasional splurges include color, highlights and a trim. The Four Seasons, however, claimed no responsibility for the shorter cut she debuted a few months back.
The tony salon is a hotbed for politicians past and present, counting former Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.), now president of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, as a twice-weekly visitor.
Other Congressional clients include Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.).
