Hair Salon Defends Domestic Violence Ad, but Apologizes Too

A hair salon in Edmonton, Alberta, is getting quite snippy this week following international outrage (OK, outrage in the U.S. and Canada) over a new ad that features a woman with a black eye getting a diamond necklace from her partner. "Look good in all you do," says the ad for the Fluid salon—a somewhat ambiguous suggestion which, to its detractors, implies that it's OK to get beaten up as long as your hair remains pretty (or judging by the photo, maybe a little bushy on the sides).
