Cutting remarks are being made about the high cost of the French president's personal hairdresser. On Wednesday , the French weekly paper Le Canard Enchaîné revealed that Francois Hollande's private barber is paid a monthly salary of 9,895 euros ($ 10,958) from the public coffers .
In trying to brush off the unfolding scandal , the government spokesman Stephane le Foll said.
“ Everyone has their hair done, don’t they ? This hairdresser had to abandon his salon and he is on tap 24 hours a day. ”
The revelation is especially jarring because Hollande has long promised to be a “ normal” president, unlike the “ bling- bling” era of his predecessor Nicolas Sarkozy .
But as Sébastien Huygue, a member of parliament put it, “ For a normal president, [Hollande] doesn’ t have a normal hairdresser. ”
The hairdresser, identified as Olivier B . , apparently has such a tough work schedule that he had “ missed the births of his children . ”
