Would You Buy a $170 Hairbrush?

Who would spend $170 on a hairbrush?

I'm not someone who can easily plunk down $100 on a single beauty or fashion item. Formal dress, yes. Handbag, maybe. Shoes, no.

So when I spied a Mason Pearson brush online selling for $170, I started to wonder: who would spend that much money on a hairbrush?

The company's website states "the brush gently stimulates the scalp" and that the handle is "hand-polished." Still, it's a rubber cushion hairbrush. Am I missing the allure?

For me, it seems like an awful lot to spend in this day and age on a hairbrush. For $170, I'd be expecting a cut and color to go with it. Maybe even breakfast served in bed?!

Nope. I think I'll still go with the brushes at Ulta that range in price from under $10 to $25 to keep my hair in check.

$20 million of the $40 million will be spent on adding a pocket track, presumably east ofRead More Massapequa. Currently, trains are reversed east of the Wantagh interlocking, and while the engineer walks through the train, it blocks the track. This addition of a "pocket track" will probably also help Wantagh commuters some times, just as an emergency pull-over space on the LIE helps.

True, true, I'm sure there's a political payoff/payback here somewhere.
