Vietnam barber
can make you look like Trump or Kim
What
do you think of President Trump and President Kim Jong Un’s hairstyles?
Would
you like to have one of their hairstyles? Why or why not?
A hair salon is offering customers free
haircuts to match the famous hair styles of President Kim Jong Un and President
Donald Trump.
A barber in Hanoi Vietnam is offering
customers free haircuts in two of the world’s most distinctive styles. The famous orange looking hair of President Donald Trump and
the famous high-cut of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The two leaders are scheduled to meet in the Vietnamese capital next week for their
second summit.
“I feel happy
with this haircut because people will think I look like the leader
of North Korea,” 9-year-old To Gia Huy said. He chose the Kim style at the Tuan
Duong Beauty Academy.
Photographers in Hanoi took photos of the stunning
transformation from two customers who were happy to have their photos
taken.
“I like Donald Trump’s haircut. It looks
great and it fits my age, said ” 66-year-old Le Phuc Hai.
However, he also seemed relieved by one part of the
offer.
“I’m not afraid of this bright orange hair
color because after this promotional campaign, the hair salon owner said he would return my hair to
normal.
The promotion ends next week, at the end of
the summit. Before it ends the salon might want to make sure they match
the right hair cuts to the right customers. Two years ago, someone used
photo-editing software to give Kim’s hair to Trump and Trump’s to Kim. And the
results were unnerving.
