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.
And yes, this is art as those haircuts are just jaw-dropping, even if they will not last!
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,” said Rajwinder.
These days the brothers, aged 29 and 31, charge anywhere between $20-$30 for their special hairdos, and say they have plans to take their business outside of India as well.
From requests of images of Bollywood stars to popular sportspersons and even an impression of Mickey Mouse, the brothers’ salon is seeing a steady stream of customers who want to draw attention to themselves at social gatherings or events but do not want something lasting, like traditional tattoos.
Glad to see they were able to do a Michael Jackson haircut! So if you are in India, make sure you get one of those fabulous haircuts!
