Kate Gosselin's new hair comes with a $6,500 price tag, not including tip

The Dish Rag is going to go out on a limb here and say that whether one likes Kate Gosselin's new hair identity or not, it's not worth $6,500.

However, if Kate were to pay for it -- which we doubt she did -- that's about what it would have cost her.

Ted Gibson, the "What Not to Wear" hairstylist who spent 20 hours giving Kate her new look for TLC cameras -- and who has worked with such celebrities as Angelina Jolie, Anne Hathaway, Renee Zellweger, Debra Messing, Amanda Bynes and Kate Walsh -- tells RadarOnline that's roughly what it would have cost if Kate had come to one of his salons.

"My haircuts are $950. The color would have been about $500, and the extensions, which were great length extensions, would probably cost about $5000."

Even at an hourly rate it took $322.50 an hour to get her to look like that. That's more than therapy.
