To realize our plan, we first had to get hairdressers to cooperate.So we used hairdressers’ greatest weakness against them: their ego.

We began by inviting hairdressers to a special VIP event, where we surprised them with an offer that put their egos to the test: “How would you like to get your own billboard, with your picture on it, right outside your shop?”.But there was a catch. Our offer was a one-time deal, valid immediately.

Two photographers we had on standby would shoot pictures of those who accepted our offer.

98% said yes!

And so a few weeks later, hairdressers found their faces staring down at them from their very own billboard we’d placed right near their hair salon.

On the billboards, hairdressers spoke directly to their customers with the message: “No one knows your hair better than me”.
