I have a friend who used to be a hairdresser. Some of his customers flew across the Atlantic to Europe to get a haircut... maybe not a million dollars for a burger, but thousands for a haircut, and at least a few days spent.

This conclusion is sound if the schedule looks like fly out -> get haircut -> fly back.

If you do anything else while you're in Europe, then the travel cost is being amortized over everything you do. Maybe I was willing to pay a few thousand dollars for some Yarg cheese, and the haircut was a happy bonus.
