A vodka firm have paid people £1,500 to cut their hair – turning them into ‘walking billboards’ with their logo and gold bottle immortalised on their heads. Au Vodka co-owner Charlie Sloth offered the brand’s followers the chance to visit their new HQ in Swansea and get ‘the sickest trim’ last weekend.
Three winners were selected from their Instagram comments section and a barber worked on their new cuts. Images show Max Saphier, 26, with ‘AU’ spray painted on the back of his head, while Matthew Pallet, 31, has a mohawk in the shape and colour of their golden bottle.
Third pal Clayton Stierl, 28, has a strawberry spray painted on his head in dedication to their vodka flavour Strawberry Burst. After their transformation into ‘walking billboards’ the trio wore bucket hats to pose for a photo with a giant £1,500 cheque outside AU Vodka’s HQ – earning each of them £500.
Charlie Sloth said: “We promised to give them the sickest trim and what’s better than AU Vodka. We took inspiration from Brazilian Ronaldo’s crazy [football] World Cup 2003 hair cut and thought could do something similar.
“They were really good sports and we all couldn’t stop laughing while the barber was working on them. The lads might be going around looking like walking billboards but at least they’re £500 richer.”
