# Bad Haircut Cookie Discounts The Cookies for Quarantine Cuts Deal Gives Discounts for Bad Haircuts By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2020-04-23 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-for-quarantine-cuts References: [bakemag](https://www.bakemag.com/articles/13280-insomnia-cookies-offers-special-cookie-deal-for-bad-haircuts) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/B-xLKAMJN8G/?utm_source=ig_embed) In an effort to help consumers make the most of a bad situation, [Insomnia Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-tattoo) has launched the hilarious 'Cookies for Quarantine Cuts' promo. With businesses closed and consumers forced to practice social distancing, many people have resorted to cutting their own hair at home. Now, Insomnia Cookies wants to reward consumers for their attempts with its Cookies for Quarantine Cuts promo. The new deal offers a surprise discount code ranging from 20%-80% off your next cookie order. The catch is that the size of the discount depends on just how bad your at-home haircut is. To take advantage of the deal, all you need to do is post an [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-cookie-mil-sweepstakes) photo or story of your bad haircut, tag @insomniacookies, and include the hashtag #QuarantineCut. The brand will then reach out to let you know if your unfortunate haircut has landed you a big discount.
