He also revealed that her hairstyle would cost almost $7,000 in his salons in Washington, DC, and New York City!
“My haircuts are $950,” Ted revealed. “The color would have been about $500, and the extensions, which were great length extensions, would probably cost about $5000.”
Kate was excited about getting a new look to start off the new year, but was a little nervous about changing her trademark bangs. “We were together for about 20 hours and I would say 15 of those hours were working on Kate trying to convince her to cut her bangs,” Ted joked. “I felt like she was hiding behind that front piece.”

Despite the hesitation, he said the mother of eight "was really open to the entire process." Ted summed up his vision for the TLC star: "I wanted to make sure I took her from being really ordinary to really extraordinary!”
Ted even has a nickname for Kate’s old hair style. “The little short bits in the back, we called them her 'attitude' and getting rid of those took a long time!"
He also used every tool in his arsenal.
“I used everything from my line Ted Gibson: the Build It blow drying spray, the Hair Sheet styling, which is a towelette for hair that has UV absorber in it. It has vitamins A, D and E and has antioxidants and it’s great for traveling. Any time she feels like she has fly-aways or needs a little break this is a perfect product for her.” Want to try it out for yourself?

The mother of eight spent the day laughing and talking about her kids. “She talked to them several times on the phone and showed me videos she had of them. She seems like a really, really good mom.”

One topic she didn’t discuss was her ex-husband Jon. “I was surprised, but Kate did not talk about Jon at all. It’s Kate the Clean Slate and I was really proud of her, she said she was moving on.”
Ted said Kate loved her new do, which she’ll have to have done every three or four months. “She was blown away, she had no idea what the length of hair and changing the color and bangs would do for her!”

All the hair extensions in the world can't hide the ugliness inside this woman.
Instead of outer beauty, what about inner beauty?

Yea she paid the tip only for the hair just like she left a local waitress a three dollar tip on a bigger bill. 10% tip was 15 yrs ago Katie. In Hollywood it is 20%.

She is a fantastic mother!! Where is Jon in all of this parenting? Kate, you absolutely deserve all the "free" $7000 hair cuts, extentions, makeovers and whatever else comes your way...Take it while you can, You look great!

Tell me what it is that Kate does and I will tell you if I'm jealous of her. You all still haven't told me what her talent is. If it's something really cool, maybe I am jealous!

I asked before, but apparently none of you know either. What is Kate's TALENT? What is she going to do on her show? We already saw pictures of her Amazing Stretchy Uterus. Is that it?

Let's see how YOU would look Selene if you had that many babies at once? Probably worse. Jealousy is a nasty bad trait & it's oozing out of you. What is your talent besides jealousy?

OMG that is sick! 7,000 for hair!??! She is so sick and anyone saying jon is dumb for al lthe crap he has done should look at Kate! They are both worthless and should step out of the spotlight.

Read the article over. It said she would pay that much for the style. It DIDN'T say she did. I'm sure she didn't pay a dime except for a tip. It's great advertising for the stylist. More than worth doing it for publicity.
