Created for Orbite Salon in Montreal, Canada, and featuring a very seventies look of [sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upside-down-sunglasses) and facial hair, this pair of awesome ads gives a new meaning to being two-faced.

These Orbite Salon images put an interesting spin on [hair dressing ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-no-gimmicks-campaign) through their unexpected play on jargon. They certainly got my attention.

Overall, they are cute and comical.

**Implications** - Those involved in the advertising industry know the amount of time and effort that goes into a creative strategy or concept, with this set of Orbite ads proving that most of the time, simple is better. These Orbite ads cut straight to the point of "[cool haircuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hall-of-fade)," incorporating the theme in a way that is quirky, but still easy to understand.
