I get it...precision scissors. However the insects are so repulsive to anyone but a devoted entymologist that the ads don't work.
Yuck.

I never understood why people hate insects, snakes or frogs. I really admire all creatures.

The insects are rather repulsive for a service that is supposed to be focused on beauty. It would probably have been more successful if the insects were less lifelike and a bit prettier.

Nah. Think this is far more brave than Disney-style. They sure draw attention! Thumbs up!

Great Stuff! If at all it makes the insects look really cool!
Not everyone who goes for a haircut has dashing looks!
And that's why this works!

I think this one and #3 insects are actually quite okay, their new hair makes them even cute in a way. The #2 one is creepy though.

Why 3 when 1 is enough.

Nice work, insects. Will the brand 'crawl' or will it 'fly'?

Well - it sure will survive an atomic bomb - concerning memorability! :-)
