The Campaign

Personal grooming is still relatively a new topic in China. And for the majority of the male population, it can be a little daunting to experience and understand the myriads of styles one can have. What if we utilize the latest technologies to help our consumers find their magic instead. Meet Lynx Magic Salon, a futuristic “salon” that applies Artificial Intelligence and robotics to educate about skincare and grooming styles, and along the way talk about the brand and its products.

The Brief

Installation production: 800,000 RMB. Event admission and Salon setup: 500,000 RMB. Paid media: 500,000 RMB.

Creative Execution

Unlike the usual neighborhood salon, what you find here might look like something that came from the future. An interactive mirror that is actually an AI-powered Skin Analyzer. A robotic styling booth that helps to create the perfect style for you. From making sure your skin looks its best, to helping you achieve the perfect look, the LYNX Magic Salon is all about helping you make your own magic, with a futuristic touch. And we took the Salon to the road, to the hippest places and exhibitions, where we dished out plenty of magic, and won fans along the way with our digital innovations. All this with a not-so-typical Salon.
