Brandi Irwin, 28, a foot model and photographer, spends tens of thousands on her hair. Indeed, she may just have the most expensive hair in New York City.

She gets her more than $46,000 locks from stylist Kristina Barricelli and her team at Gemini 14 salon in Manhattan.

Brandi’s custom hairdo involves 250,000 strands of hair extensions imported from India and colored in Italy.

The extensions are put in strand-by-strand and the process takes nine hours.”

“You work hard, you play hard,” Brandi says. “My hair is my biggest accessory.”

She says she “can’t put a price” on how it makes her feel.

Barricelli says the treatment lasts a few months, which is why the cost adds up.
