Via Access Hollywood:
Britney Spears turned up around 7PM Friday to Esther's Haircutting Studio in Tarzana. Though the shop was closed, owner Esther Tognozzi opened the salon for the singer.
Tognozzi told Access Hollywood that Spears asked to have her head shaved, but the shop owner refused telling Spears, "I won't touch that."
Britney then asked if she could cut her own hair. She was provided tools to do so by the salon.
The singer first shortened her hair with scissors before buzzing it off with electric shears. Tognozzi had to help Spears following the singer's attempt at shearing her head, to even out Britney's scalp.
According to Tognozzi, Britney did not speak much, exchanging just a few words about her baby with the shop owner. She also noted Britney said "mom's gonna kill me."
A source from the salon confirmed to Access Hollywood earlier today that they are planning to sell Spears' lost locks on eBay.
They will donate a portion of the hair collected from the crop to the Britney Spears Foundation, which was the salon's own idea.


UPDATE 2: eBay has terminated the auction but the owner of the salon has set up a website to sell Brit's chopped extensions @ http://www.buybritneyshair.com

They'e truly milking it!!!
UPDATE:
Is this the auction?

Title: BRITNEY SPEARS HAIR, LIGHTER AND REDBULL
Item Number: 330089956532
Current Bid: $1,000,000.00
You have heard the story on the news... No need to repeat it here.
This is the auction you have been waiting for. I am selling the hair as well as the 3/4 full can of Redbull she was drinking and her blue Bic Lighter. I am selling this on behalf of Esther and her family.
We are offering it for sale here at what we feel is a realistic price. This is a piece of history that can not be duplicated.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AUTHENTIC. THIS IS NOT A SCAM. BUYER IS ENCOURAGED TO DO A LOCAL PICK UP IN TARZANA, CALIFORNIA AND MEET WITH ME AND ESTHER. ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AUTHENTIC AND THIS IS THE ONLY REAL LISTING. I THINK THE PICTURES SAY IT ALL.
Payment is to be made by cash, money order or cashiers check ONLY. NO PAYPAL.
Due to the unique nature and high value of these items, buyer is to be responsible for any shipping arrangements. Local pick up is highly encouraged.
What if the winning bidder drug tests her hair?

Esther Tognozzi was already locking up her tiny hair salon when her celebrity customer arrived Friday night. Here, in her words, is what happened:
"All of a sudden, somebody was knocking on the front door. ... Britney was standing there with two bodyguards, and one of them was saying Britney Spears wants to come in.
"She came in and said, 'I want my hair shaved off.'"
I said, 'I'm not going to do that.' I didn't want to be sued; I didn't want her agent calling me and saying, 'You ruined her hair.'
"
Her bodyguard was saying, 'It's her body, she can do what she wants,' but I wouldn't do it.
"She grabbed the clipper I usually use to trim neck hair and sideburns, and she started to shave herself.
"
She was okay. She was kind of flat, just there in body but not emotionally. She finished, and it was kind of messy, so I cleaned it up for her.
"The only time she did get emotional was when she said, 'My mom's going to get upset.' And then she kind of teared up.
"Then, when she finished, she looked at herself and said, '
Oh, my God, my hair's gone. I just shaved my hair off.' I said, 'It's only hair, it'll grow back.'
"
I think the extensions in her hair were too tight, and she wanted to take them off. We've kept the hair; it's in a safe place. I was thinking if she wanted to auction it for one of her charities, we could give it back to her.
"Her bodyguards offered to pay, but I said I can't charge her for something I didn't do. They did leave a tip."

Not a good look!Well it hasent been a “good look” for a while but you know what I mean…lol
:-O

I say….auction her locks on ebay and put the money towards the cost of room and board at the nearest mental facility.

not surprised the salon would sell her hair…some psycho will probably pay big bucks for it b/c it will definitely go down in Hollywood history as a Top 10 Shocking Moment of 2007…of even of all time b/c she is clearly having a nervous breakdown. she’s make Mooriah’s melt-down look like a tea party!
i feel kinda bad for Britney, even though she’s complete trash, b/c it’s obvious she’s suffering severe emotional and mental issues as a result of a bunch of recent events: her divorce, panty-less pics, her parading with Paris and ruining her image after making what appeared to be initial successful steps towards a comeback…all in 6 months.
the girl dropped out of school and lost touch with the real worl when she became famous at 15. she’s basically still only 15 yo emotionally and mentally and is cracking under the pressure of the media and her fucked up lifestyle…part her choice part external factors.
if her family gives a shit about her they will take legal action to commit her to a mental health facility.
the only thing i am happy about in this sorry situation is that her babies are too young to remember any of this. unfortunately, they will know all about it when they grow up b/c their mother’s crackup is documented for the ages.
get this child some help…she obviously needs it and someone needs to FORCIBLY intervene b4 she hurts herself. i wouldn’t be surprised if she attempts suicide or overdoses soon…but i hope that doesn’t happen. i don’t like Britney AT ALL but i don’t wish that sort of fucked up shit on anyone.

weird as it sounds her face actually looks pretty cute in this pic, very vulnerable and real. b ut i guess shaving your head in public b/c you are losing your mind is a vulnerable and real as it gets. poor poor lost child.
Demi Moore in G.I. Jane…only difference is G.I. was hardcore, not crazy.

scooper…i believe federal child education and labor laws say that a child cannot legally leave school, either home or public, before age 15 or 16. it’s common for minors in hollywood and entertainment in general to receive schooling on set until they reach the age when they can choose to drop out. Britney chose to drop out as soon as she could legally, and it shows.
there are tons of other child celebs that continued their education while in show business. Blosson from the 90s and Winne for The Wonder Years both went on to college and grad school and got PhD in neuroscience (Blossom) and Mathematics (Winnie). Natalie Portman and the brunette girl from Roseanne went to Harvard or some other ivy league school. even the olsen twins who have been in showbiz since birth, literally, went to college for at least a year or 2.
britney’s education, emotional, and mental growth halted with Hiot My Baby One More Time. her mother was more interested in raising a cash cow than an emotionally healthy and educated daughter…now Britney is a 25 yo with 2 children and the emotionl and mental resources of an 8th grade girl.

I just went to the official site of the Britney Spear’s Foundation. The main mission of this foundation is to HELP CHILDREN IN NEED…kind of like her sons.
..umm yeah, whatever you all are thinking..my thoughts exactly.

I hope they wash that greasy mess before selling it. Even with the fake hair…it’s got to be gross.

I think even at 15, hanging around older people would make you grow up faster. Not in her case, but so much about her is fake. I seriously think it’s the drugs and the need for constant attention that has her doing what she’s doing, and no other reason. If K-fed was so worried he could have gotten an emergency order to get those kids for now, so far I’ve not heard of him doing such.

I wouldn’t pay a cent for that piece of shit hair. I’m sorry but I don’t feel bad for her. If she really did wanted to shave her head why couldn’t she have done it in the privacy of her own home? Seriously, I think she’s just doing this for attention. I say she deserves what’s coming for her and I hope she realizes it soon that she needs some serious help. The only two people I feel bad for are her two sons. It must suck to have a f-up mother like her. Wait, I shouldn’t say mother because all she did was give birth to them but was never a mother to them.

Hollywoodrag.
Your stories suck. Your the internet version of the Star. The stor owner NEVER said “I wont touch that”
They tried to talk her out of it and the Britney said “Ok I I will do it myself”
RUMORS OF WHY SHE DID IT
1. She is starting over, new life.
2. Her extensions/hair was annoying the shit out of her.
3. A part in a movie.

So, if the new owner gets the hair tested for illegal drug use, can she be arrested..or better yet, will social services FINALLY take those poor babies away from that crazy, drug addicted, alcoholic loser??? That would be the ONLY reason I’d pay the money for her hair. That mop was nasty!!

Well if you think about it none of celebrity lives is “news” it’s gossip.
These people sell anything on ebay but i don’t blame the people who sell the stuff i blame the people who buy it. This whole fiasco is retarded just like she is.

I wonder WHY do they let this mentally insane chick go around in the street like that.
Rehab was an option for Britney after she got drunk and married Jason Alexander. Because for an ordinary person that is already too crazy. But now this woman is so out of control that she needs to be locked into some mental hospital and given serious drugs.

At this point, I’m not sure if it’s a sick way of “competing” with the coverage Anna Nicole’s death has received, or ... just sick.
And YAY, my first post here, what up, y’all!

“After she left the shop we all just looked around and said to each other, ‘We just saw a huge celebrity on the verge of a nervous breakdown.’”
You know, anytime i wanted or rather felt like i needed to refresh my life, i would cut off all my hair, especially after a breakup…maybe she is going through a real melt down. It may seem odd to many of you why she would do this BUT for everyone who has done it before, it symbolizes something. I guess its a big deal because she is a pop icon…or well Britney Spears!

RUMORS OF WHY SHE DID IT
1. She is freaking out and ready for the mental institution.
2. Anna Nicole was getting more attention than her
3. She was tired of washing her hair once a month.
4. The rehab center told her they needed a hair sample to test for the types of drugs she has been on. She was also asked to provide samples to the court for the custody battle.
Haylie - don’t be the continual idiot BS defender. Britney is NOT going to be in ANY movie. The film company would do it FOR her if this was the case.
WAKE UP and smell the insanity. Britney is flaked and baked - and needing to have a legal intervention to place her in a mental institution before she offs herself and/or her kids.
