Prose Custom Haircare — Testimonial In-Use — Haircare Ad Example
This ad effectively leverages social proof within an authentic, in-use setting. The layout prioritizes a large, compelling customer testimonial at the top, immediately establishing trust and aspirational results. Below, the custom shampoo and conditioner bottles are subtly placed in a shower environment, grounding the product in reality. A vibrant, high-contrast yellow circle highlights a significant 60% discount, drawing the eye to the offer. The earthy, muted green tile background and product packaging colors create an organic, clean aesthetic, appealing to a health-conscious audience. Text hierarchy guides the viewer from the testimonial's emotional impact to the clear discount, with a small disclaimer ensuring transparency. This vertical format is optimized for platforms like Instagram Stories or Reels, where immersive, text-heavy visuals with strong social proof perform well to drive consideration and conversion.
Why This Ad Works
Dominant Testimonial Builds Instant Trust
Placing a large, authentic customer testimonial as the primary visual element immediately establishes social proof. This direct quote from "Gretchen W." provides relatable, aspirational results, transforming abstract product benefits into tangible, emotional outcomes. It acts as a powerful hook, compelling viewers to learn more by leveraging peer influence, which is highly effective in DTC beauty.
In-Use Context Enhances Product Authenticity
The subtle placement of the shampoo and conditioner bottles in a shower setting, complete with soap suds, grounds the product in a realistic, everyday context. This "in-use" visual technique makes the product feel more accessible and authentic, helping potential customers visualize it in their own routine. It avoids sterile studio shots, fostering a relatable connection.
High-Contrast Discount Drives Immediate Action
The bright yellow circle prominently displaying "60% OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER" creates a strong visual anchor. Its high contrast against the muted background and the surrounding text ensures it immediately captures attention. This clear, value-driven offer, combined with the testimonial, provides a compelling reason for immediate conversion, tapping into urgency and perceived savings.

What You Could Improve
Improve CTA Visibility and Clarity
While the discount is clear, an explicit call-to-action button or clear instruction is missing. Adding a prominent "Shop Now" or "Get Your Custom Haircare" button would reduce friction and guide users directly to the next step, potentially increasing click-through rates by 15-25% on social platforms.
Re-evaluate Price Presentation for Clarity
The strikethrough price "$35 $14" within the testimonial text is somewhat confusing and could be misread. Consider presenting the original and discounted price more clearly, perhaps near the 60% off circle, or as a separate, distinct element to avoid ambiguity and ensure the value proposition is immediately understood.

Before-after split frames dominate haircare CTR — 1:1 for Facebook feed, 4:5 for Instagram feed, 9:16 for Stories and Reels. Video timelines (day 1 vs day 90) perform second best because they imply a credible duration. Static bottle heroes underperform unless paired with a transformation carousel or an ingredient callout with specific mg or percentage claims.
Nutrafol, Function of Beauty, OUAI, Vegamour, and Prose run the heaviest sustained spend in haircare DTC. Nutrafol alone runs into eight figures annually on Meta. Vegamour built a growth brand on plant-based positioning with weekly creative rotation. Function of Beauty owns the custom-formula quiz funnel.
