Also, remember that just because someone tells you that they have deducted something in the past doesn't make it legal.
Exactly right. You can deduct anything you want and you might get away with it until you get audited. When you get audited, if you get caught deducting shady stuff, they will go back the last three years and nail you every year. If it is questionable, I leave it off. Haircuts might get me $50 bucks more on my return, but would cost hundreds if I get audited.
