A London hair salon attracts unwanted visitors after displaying an image of Kim Jong-Un to advertise the shop's discount special.

Mo Nabbach, who runs M&M Hair Academy, thought that the promotion poster would boost the business -- it is a close-up photo of the dictator's distinctive middle-parted hairstyle with close-shaved sides. Below the picture, it said: "Bad hair day? 15% off all gent cuts through the month of April. Tuesday - Thursday."

Soon after the advert was up, two North Korean officials in suits, whose embassy is just two miles away, came to protest saying that it was disrespectful towards their country's supreme leader and that it must be removed.

"I noticed them first outside the shop. They came in and asked what the poster was doing in the window and demanded for it to be taken down," said Nabbach. "I said it was only a poster and we have pictures of celebrities in the window all the time. They said: 'this is no celebrity, it's our dear leader.' They asked for my name and I refused to give it to them, saying 'this is not North Korea, this is England, so get out.'"

"They left and I called the police just in case they ended up smashing the windows," he continued. "We did take it down but then some of our clients told me to put it back up because we have a democracy here."

Mo Nabbach took the poster down after the men left, but he put it back up after the comments saying that the agents' request to remove it was a "breach of democracy."

"The funny thing is, it's not a bad haircut if he styled it correctly," he added. "Lots of men are walking around with hair shaved short at the back and the sides, long on the top and big beards -- in fact, it's quite like my own style, though it's all about the face shape."

"We put up posters for an offer for men's hair cuts through the month of April. Obviously in the current news there has been this story that North Korean men are only allowed one haircut," said Mo Nabbach's son Karim, the designer of the poster. "We didn't realize but the North Korean embassy is a 10 minute walk from the station.

"The next day we had north Korean officials pop into the salon asking to speak to the manager."

"The men were a bit stern and abrupt, it was all a bit weird. The funny thing is, none of them had the Kim Jong-Un haircut: they all had normal styles," he added. "Being over here, they have the freedom to wear their hair any way they like, yet they are trying to tell us what to do."
