1Two brothers who cut hair in northern India are offering more than just the usual haircut.
2They are making art.
3Brothers Rajwinder and Gurwinder Singh Sidhu are using their customers' heads and hair to make their art.
4They cut hair into the shapes of famous people and places - from the face of singer Michael Jackson to the towers of the Taj Mahal.
5The barbers use different kinds of scissors and trimmers to get the look just right.
6Rajwinder is the younger of the two brothers.
7He said they got their start by offering free haircuts "to anyone we could get ahold of."
8Now the brothers, who are 29 and 31 years old, have more experience.
9They charge their customers up to $30 for their special cuts.
10The customers have brought the brothers pictures of famous Bollywood actors, sports stars and even Mickey Mouse.
11The customers say they want something that will create interest at social gatherings or parties.
12Darbar Singh got a haircut that looked like the Taj Mahal on the day the Reuters news agency visited the brothers' business.
13"The monument is very beautiful," he said.
14He added that his special haircut will help him "stand out in the crowd."
