Congresswoman targeted with report she spent nearly $300 at salon, a sum many pointed out as a pretty good deal

There is a lot that offends about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: her Green New Deal, her socialism, her dancing, her previous employment as a bar-tender, and now, apparently, her hair.

Oh shut up

She bathes each night in the tears of baby seals.

🧜🏻‍♀️💯

Here is a pro tip:All women know how expensive it is to get their hair done. Stop writing dumb articles

'Cutting remarks' from a bottom-feeding conservative outlet that you're now amplifying. Stop with this bullshit.

This? Really? Do you realize the Kurds are being slaughtered?!

This is s pretty dumb story. But for $300 you would think her hair would do something other than just lay flat to the side of her head.

A DC based news outlet not having a clue that DC is, in fact, a fairly expensive place to live and women regularly get charged that price for that service. Oh, and if her hair wasn't perfect, she'd hear about it too. everydaysexism

Anyone know what the male members of congress pay for hair care?

Who cares. She's entitled to appear, dress and groom as she wishes, just as any male congressperson.

Unforgivable pun

Probably still less than Trumps weekly tan and hairspray bill...

They have nothing other to do

AOC SUCKS

Trying to milk anything

socialism

Really? This is important, how?

Are we really doing this again?

Anything else going on?

I’m sorry, and how much does Betsy DeVos pay for her haircuts? How much does Elaine Cho pay for her haircuts? How much does Melania Trump pay for her haircuts? I would really like to know.

I have essentially a men’s haircut. It costs $100 for me to have it cut in DC. No coloring no styling just cut. Get bent with this hogwash

Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.

Omg-are you bored I used to live in DC and hair salon prices for WOMAN were outrageous. This is not news to any of us. In TX now and its the same! Write about the ridiculous cost of insulin.

She can spend her money anyway she chooses just like has a choice to report on stories that aren’t sexist.

Fishwrap journalism.

My barber charges $14, no charge for jokes

Cutting Edge journalism.

Newsflash: women -all- over the world spend more on hair cuts/care than men. Woah! Yes for me anything more than $15 is out of the question. For women, they spend much more. ALL OVER THE WORLD. Cmon Guardian is this news? You write stories about male pollies hair cuts? No, eh?

This is stupid. Hair care is expensive. She earns her money and is free to spend it as she sees fit. She undoubtedly works hard and I really don’t care about her spending habits

Is this really news? I thought the Guardian was better than this

Best Android Games You should Play Once in Your Life

I’ve run out of ways to say “are you f***ing kidding me with this”. Trump is violating the Emolujents clause with what could only be described as unabashed glee but people feel they have a say in how AOC spends her own salary?

So this is news?

Idiotic article. Cents in comparison to the money being made off our backs by the wh

This is not news.

I contribute $$ to GuardianAus when I read a valuable article but this story is disappointing. AOC should be allowed to get a hair cut without the 3rd decree. How about a follow up on IvankaTrump's hair care? Better yet, do your job & focus on actual news. journalismmatters

Next report on Elaine Chao and Liz Cheney and all the of the women we have in congress unless your piece is meant as a hit job ordered by all the insecure conservative men.

This is a sexist headline. Boo.

I do not like her but neither do I like the hypocrisy where women are both judged for their appearance and the money they use for it.

Staring the obvious here.....she looks a million times better than Jeff Sessions. jeffsessions AOC

.... well compared to Boris Johnson...

Well, compared to Trump...

Unmatched slow news day.

HOLD THE PRESS Fun facts She also: Have shoes on her feet buy and eat food (some times even pizza) wear clothing, strange ain't it? Sleep in an bed, sometimes with her boyfriend. Take showers and get this USE SOAP, omg. ride in cars to an from work. what do she think she is 😠

Being for the people doesn't mean you have to look like you don't take care of yourself. The people who have issues with this, are the same ones that don't have a problem with trump spending millions to golf. Ffs..

I wonder how much those criticising her spend on cigars, cigarettes, whisky and wine.... and maybe a bit of cocaine?

(Sigh) Weak story.

Is that it? She had her hair done? Honestly, you lot need to fucking stop it.

Many pointed out that £300 is a good deal for a trim, core I must not get out enough

I'm concerned with some aspects of her politics, but remain generally pleased with her performance in Congress. This is a petty attack by enemies desperate to discredit her wherever they can, and simply not news. $300 for a woman's visit to a stylist is just not Marie Antoinette

This is the sort of story one might expect to see in The Sun. Do better.

Guardian elevating the standard of journalism everyday!

Also not tbat expensive for a haircut!

Oh dear . Were you trying to find something for the unpaid interns to write about?

This is sexist reporting.

How is this an actual news worthy story ? Come on you can do better than this tabloid style gossip.

I think she's dangerously stupid, but I'll never care how much she pays for a haircut and colour

her head is still on send her back

ffs

So this did it lol

For the love of all the is holy. Most of trumps cabinet owns yachts. What the fuck are you doing. Today of all days this is not a story.

lol do you not know how much base level salon services are.

She paid a completely reasonable sum for someone who's in the public eye all the damn time. In fact. And it's really funny that she tipped 20%, of course the right would try to contort that into a smear.

There are more important issues to be focused on rather than AOC and how much her hair cut cost.

This is very huffpost of you guardian. Maybe a parallel article about how much Trump spends on orange foundation and hairspray?

For a newspaper that's based in Washington, they clearly have no idea of the prices.

They have nothing else to attack her for so they are going after her hair ... It's actually funny to see it happen.

$52 tip is what got me!

Are you kidding me? I don’t even live in DC and the going rate in my area for hair is $200... (which is why I can’t get my hair done). I can see $300 as completely legit in DC. Let’s talk about a fucking $3M car.

Sounds like a snip....

I bet you Cortez couldn't afford it while on her previous job.

I spent £240 on my daughter's hair cut at the start of summer, then another £200 getting it back into an acceptable condition for school. I think she got a good deal 😀

Professional barrel scraping from guardian. No surprises

Guardian, let’s leave articles regarding the price of a US female politician’s haircut to the tabloids

Click... Click... Click...

And now that money is in the hair-world system, going to both the business and the people it employs, allowing them to spend money on whatever they want. Who's keeping track except our whole foundational system that is built off this

I mean, Jared and Ivanka have made $82million out of this presidency but go off

She’s great

'The Guardian will engage with the most critical issues of our time' Also The Guardian: 'Are highlights socialist enough?'

Guardian running this brain rot is pathetic. Why do this? Which editor thought it was news worthy? Shame.

Oh Guardian why shoot yourself in the foot?

You didn’t finish the headline. Price of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s hair salon visit sparks cutting remarks from assholes. There, FITY

In other news: Rand Paul drives on roads.

Everything is wrong with everything to somebody...

Guardian, you’re better than this

There targeting her about her hair costs? when Trump has just left there Kurds to be invaded and killed? The world has gone Mad well he has!

Disappointed to see you reporting on this...this isn’t news it’s gossip

Did she even make her first millionaire as being a congresswoman

Judas my haircut used to cost $40 now it’s $100 - and this doesn’t include tip or color. This isn’t news.

Shame on you for reporting this!

Hey , don't be a 🤡

I can use that $5 a month better than you seem to. Cutting my support.

journalism 🙄

Her money, no one’s business.

This is not news. Please do better.

look hard hitting news...LOL.

I wanted to add in the journalist who write this piece but I'm concerned I would be too nasty; honestly is this what we're writing about. Just write about love island instead what's the difference

This is a story? wth

Being charged $300 for a visit to the hairdresser is the fault of the Patriarchy anyway, obvs.

Why are you reporting this? No really why?

Yeah, she is a Cleopatra you can get it

So has a right to take care of her physical health and appearance any btw it's her money.

I often think 'I should start paying for journalism from the Guardian, it's important to support...then this sort of story drops and I put the wallet away.

🙄

You don’t need to write this. You can just continue reporting news. FYI

$300 for a cut, color plus tip is the norm in any major city across the US. Unless you live in middle of nowhere like Witchita, KS your cut and color is prob $65

🖕🖕🖕

Slow news day.

I thought you were meant to be serious journalists writing proper stories ? This kind of story is cheap and crass

Wonder how much Trump spends on dye and hairspray annually. Guardian - you are my paper - stop behaving like the Sun.

Pathetic.

Oh, good grief!

with her position as a congresswoman i think she deserves the hair treatment she represent the people she ought to look classy and beautiful she is the face of New York's 14th congressional district

It’s not a good look on you AOC when your hair cut is $300 you’re making $175,000 and you’re complaining about income inequality... Just accept the fact you’re a capitalist 😎MeghanMcCain ChrisCuomo HuntsmanAbby joerogan AbbyMartin Entrepreneur

Oh dear. Is this really news. you're becoming a tabloid with the detritus you're churning out these days. What happened to journalism?

At least she pays her bill. presidential

this is news in th UK because.........

Who gives a rat’s ass if she spends more or less on her coiffure—focus on reporting that’s critical, not a politician’s hairdresser expenditures.

The Washington Times is a Trumo supporting rag, I'm shocked you're promoting their stories.

She says one thing and does another, it's called a politician.

A lot of air, she has, and still a lot less her foes spend while having daily meals...

FYI The $300 is most probably for a hair straightening treatment...which is the going price in NYC

Hell, that haircut is cheap compared w/ the mistresses some of those Congressmen have to keep up. They should try working as hard as AOC.

WTFTheGuardian

Scraping the barrel springs to mind for those that are criticising her. I think she is just brilliant.

How much did flotus’s boob job cost

Bet you’re proud of that pun, proud like a toddler is proud of making its own turd

Come on Guardian stay away from these type of stories.

This is really news?
