I think the haircut part is much stranger. The iPad is about moving people into the multitouch paradigm.

The haircut part is about not having to leave campus and go do errands on a weekend, so your weekends can be about having fun (or more realistically, doing more work for the startup ;-)). It's actually pretty handy, being able to tuck away a 20-minute haircut appointment in between two meetings.

There are also laundry (Facebook), massages (Google), mini-day spas (Microsoft; maybe? private to employees but not clear on pricing), etc. Haircuts are very much in theme with "work and live on-campus" approach.
