Interesting. But, what are you telling me?

>>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.

I think it's a very subtle way of saying that getting your hair cut at this place makes you want to show it off. Go hair-first. But it's very subtle.

Still, I like em.

i agree
but i think the execution is all wrong.
and this kind of stuff has been done before many times.

with this execution, it is saying 'the BACK of your HEAD will be worth showing off'..

i don't get this ad at all.. and i don't like it

I'm with buy by bye on this one, Its trying to do something but isn't working. I bet it makes perfect sense in the minds of the creators, but doesn't translate to me.

-----------------------------
It's only an ad.

I think it saying that if you're ugly as fuck from the front, at least be somewhat near attractive from the back.

lol, and THAT hair is attractive?? =)

i like how i constantly see pictures my friends email me 6 months ago make it into "ads".

Stigset's picture 1461 pencils

This is exactly the sort of ad that should'nt be called advertizing: its more a work of art than anything else. First : what is advertized here ? second : what are they telling me ?
It looks really cool, but its more a photograph show off than advertizing.

I knew I saw it before. On this very same website some month ago :

lol

just to be a nice ad, not be a effective ad

dyaval's picture 40 pencils

how many times are people going to use same idea again and again?
I think these ads need to be given best repeated idea of the year award.

Andreas TM's picture 131 pencils

Your hair is your face. Even though it used an image that was sent around on e-mails, it's cool.

mrtalented's picture 2181 pencils
