A hair salon in Dubai have set up a business called ‘Facelook’, branding the store very much like the social media giant Facebook. And now Facebook is considering launching legal action against the small Dubai hair salon.
The owner, told The National that he had registered the name and brand under UAE labour law. He said: ‘We started with the name Facelook, but when later on the branding came through, coincidentally it looked like Facebook.
Facebook said it is investigating whether the salon Facelook (pictured above) has infringed its copyright.
The company should re-design the logo. No matter how small or big the business is , try to be unique product in the region. Such methodology should not be encouraged to take bits and pieces of well known brand and later get free marketing and exclusive headlines in the paper.
Coincidence???? are you joking!!! is the owner illiterate that he still does not know the similarity between facelook and facebook till now
Best manner is to re-design the logo and let people talk about the saloon excellent service rather than create unwanted publicity to gain popularity.
I agree, and I think he did it on purpose.
loool, its funny actually
they should come to kuwait
Yeah lool
