Do you think the salon is going about it right? I think they're acting too quickly to liquify their asset. This is a great opportunity to create a collector frenzy over the hair.  They could sell small locks at various price points..  maybe even a strand or two here and there for 20 dollars each.  The resulting pokemon collector card market would be a phenominon. Once people start collecting they go crazy. Then you'd retain half the hair for 10 years later when the britney breakdown hair fever is at its pinnacle.
