High-Tech Pop-Up Barbershops

The Lynx 'Find Your Magic Shop' in Dublin Includes a "Magic Mirror"

— July 12, 2017 — Fashion
As an extension of the Lynx Find Your Magic campaign, the deodorant brand launched a pop-up 'Find Your Magic Shop' in Dublin, Ireland.

The shop boasts an interactive Magic Mirror, which uses augmented reality technology to give men the chance to try six of the most popular hairstyles in the country with facial targeting and tracking.

On top of being drawn to the Find Your Magic Shop to experience a fusion of technology and grooming, men in Ireland will be interested in checking out the Find Your Magic Nights, which take the form of events hosted by brand ambassadors that discuss themes like overcoming stereotypes and finding one's magic. Some of the ambassadors that will be participating include MMA coach John Kavanagh, comedian Al Porter and personal trainer Rob Lipsett.
Trend Themes
1. Augmented Reality in Grooming - The use of augmented reality technology in grooming experiences presents an opportunity for brands to enhance customer engagement and showcase different hairstyles.
2. Pop-up Experiences in Retail - Creating pop-up shops with interactive elements can attract consumers and create a sense of novelty and excitement, leading to increased brand visibility and customer loyalty.
3. Events That Promote Self-expression - Hosting events that encourage discussions on breaking stereotypes and finding one's personal magic can foster a sense of community and resonate with consumers seeking self-expression.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty and Grooming - Incorporating augmented reality technology in grooming experiences can disrupt the traditional beauty industry by revolutionizing how customers try different hairstyles and explore new looks.
2. Retail and E-commerce - Integrating interactive elements and pop-up experiences in retail can offer brands a unique opportunity to create innovative shopping environments that drive foot traffic and boost sales.
3. Event and Entertainment - Organizing events that focus on self-expression and breaking stereotypes can disrupt the event industry by providing engaging and meaningful experiences that resonate with attendees.
