hair
the end of the academy
it’s taken a while, but Mr Gilbert’s wig shop is finally going
Dad’s unisex hair salon
who wants a haircut like their dad’s ? this shop claims to be a specialist in afro caribbean and european hair cuts. i hadn’t thought that the European hair was a particular genre of the hair cutting game, but it must be.
i also like how there’s some wire hanging in front of the ‘uni’ of unisex suggesting a very different sort of place.
the laundrette next door is good too. but have you ever seen a laundrette which isn’t incredibly photogenic ?
ladies we have to shampoo your hair for you to get a great haircut
another great Mr Toppers sign
special offer – men’s haircut
here’s a funny old sign. men’s haircut £10.
i may be wrong but are men’s haircuts impulse buys ?
and those pictures off to the left look like the world’s worst men’s haircuts. unless you are in an 80s heavy metal band.
models for specific haircuts wanted
here’s a funny old sign. it’s advertising for models. it’s not clear whether the sort of model is like the one in the picture, but let’s leave that.
what intrigued me was that they are looking for general models for specific haircuts. what’s a specific haircut ?
before and after
i realised today that i walk past a number of ‘before and after’ adverts so i undertook to photo them for you.
here’s the first. it’s advertising “hi-lites” but neither the before or after pictures look very convincing. this poor chap looks as disappointed after as he did before.
then there’s this chap. he looks a bit happier at the end, but the wording is a bit disturbing ‘stays on better?’
but my all time favourite has to be this one which i thought was a missing person advert. then i read ‘trial’ and thought it must be one of those social-injustice posters. but instead it’s some sort of advert for something which takes 6 months.
this woman certainly looks a lot sadder after only 6 months which is a shame.
