Arnie dying to look younger
Action hero-turned politician Arnold Schwarzenegger maintains his youthful looks with hair dye – and even gets pedicures, a salon owner has revealed.
The 56-year-old Terminator star, now the Governor of California, visits a Beverly Hills salon twice a month for his pampering, according to Giuseppe Franco
“He comes in maybe twice a month and gets a haircut and sometimes a pedicure for an ingrown toenail from his body-building days,” said Mr Franco, who called Schwarzenegger a “dear, dear friend of mine“.
"And sometimes he gets a little colour – medium brown – on his sideburns. Most of the men do that, of course,” he told the New York Daily News.
According to the report, Schwarzenegger was seen in the salon recently smoking a cigar and wearing a plastic cap, while his armed security staff stopped other customers from peering at the Governor.
Mr Franco said he charges Schwarzenegger €50 for the haircut and €13 for the pedicure.
The hair dye is free, he said: “It’s only a drop. My Catholic guilt would keep me awake at night if I charged him for that.”
Schwarzenegger is no stranger to beauty treatments. In an interview in Vanity Fair last summer the muscle-bound actor said his greatest fear was bikini waxing.
“I am petrified of bikini waxing. I had a very bad experience in 1978,” he said.
