What does the “Coiffeur plus recherché que XDDL” meme mean?

The formula inflates a professional’s absence by comparing it to that of a man who has been missing since 2011. It expresses the amused frustration of someone waiting for an appointment, a text or an answer that never comes. People use it to tease an unreachable service provider, a friend who vanished from the chat, or anyone who stopped replying. The humor lies in the mismatch: a plain job abandonment set beside a famous criminal case, without targeting anyone.

Where does the “Coiffeur plus recherché que XDDL” meme come from?

XDDL stands for Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès. After the bodies of his wife and four children were found in Nantes on 21 April 2011, he became the main suspect. He was last seen on 15 April 2011 at a hotel in Roquebrune-sur-Argens, in southern France, and has never been found. His name has fed countless videos and broadcasts, and the abbreviation became an internet shorthand for someone nobody can track down. The hairdresser gag borrows that shorthand and pairs it with a job abandonment dated July 2023.
