Million-Dollar Haircuts on Ten-Cent Heads is the third solo studio album by German singer Andi Deris of Helloween fame. It was recorded at Mi Sueño Studios, Tenerife, with the help of three local musicians, all of them members of a band called "The White Omelette".[1][2]

It was released on 13 November 2013 on Japan, on 22 November in Europe, and on 21 January in the rest of the world.

In the album, Andi criticizes the financial crisis and the globalism:

"Obviously we despise everything around banks, managers and bankers who are clearly responsible for the shit that goes on nowadays (and most certainly in our future), so it felt very good to vocally tell them what we think about them. Sure, therefore it's highly explicit but hey... who gives a fuck. That’s what they deserve..."[2]

According to Deris, the title of the album means that there are many people whose heads are worth 10 cents but they actually afford million-dollar haircuts.[3]
