Brothers Rajwinder Singh Sidhu and Gurwinder Singh Sidhu are now famous in their small part of the world for giving haircuts shaped in images of the customer's choice.
In a small salon in a nondescript town in northern India, a haircut is not just a trim or a crew cut but an opportunity to get some art embossed on the back of your head.
Brothers Rajwinder Singh Sidhu and Gurwinder Singh Sidhu in Dabwali town in Punjab are now famous in their small part of the world for giving haircuts shaped in images of the customer's choice.
From the Taj Mahal, complete with its many turrets and towers, to a lifelike portrait of pop star Michael Jackson, the brothers use a range of trimmers, scissors and pencils, among other tools, to get every minute detail of hairdos correct.
"In the beginning we used to give anyone we could get hold off free haircuts so that we could practice our skills on them. Some days we used to practice till 2.00 a.m., because during the day we used to run the regular salon," Rajwinder, the younger of the two brothers, told Reuters in an interview.
