Today, most children are exposed to sushi etc from young. Some mothers (and you can find these on their blogs) even take pains to decorate lunch boxes so that they look like eloborate bento boxes. Well to do children are used to foie gras, uni, otoro, skiing trips etc. Hardly anything counts for a "special experience" anymore.

A $60 haircut is a fine line? Really?I can only say I must be way way behind the times.
The money belongs to the mother (or father) and the hair belongs to the son. So I think it is none of my business to ask wehther the boy should have a $60 haircut.
However the police report was made on the destruction of the $60 haircut! i don't think you can fairly say it's none of anyone's business when it was the mother who made the thing public. You cannot make thing public and then expect the public not to talk about it.
