Ashley Tisdale's Curl Straightening Day

While fame and fortune are the epitome of success for celebrities, it all comes at a cost. And Ashley Tisdale found out first hand yesterday that being Hollywood’s “IT” girl comes with its downfalls.

Accompanied by her mother Lisa, the “High School Musical” hottie was hounded by paparazzi as she left the Chris McMillan Salon in Beverly Hills, California. Things got so bad that she even needed the help of a friend to make it to her car.

Sporting a fabulous straight coif, a screen-printed t-shirt, jeans, and a pair of Roman Sandals, Ashley looked a bit bewildered by the overwhelming shutterbug presence.

Prior to her stop at the beauty shop, Tisdale went shopping at Kitson on Robertson Boulevard in West Hollywood. She even signed autographs and posed for pictures with her fans. What a gal!
