If you're a guy who is game to get a wacky free haircut, the place to go is Snickers' Hungry Barber in Omotesando. This is one area of Japan that's known for its daring fashion, which makes this unusual barber shop oddly right at home.
The pop-up barber shop will only be open for a limited time in December, giving men the chance to choose from one of eight crazy hairstyles, including themes like techno, heavy metal, "explosion" or leaving the cut totally up to the barber. To qualify for a free cut, guys must pose for a photo showing off their newly styled hair and share it to social media. Even if a haircut is zany enough to bring you to tears, at least there's the promise of chocolate involved.
