Wang Jianfeng, a 39-year-old Chinese barber in east China's Shaoxing Province, presents unusual hairstyles to his customers, drawing the faces of celebrities on their heads from behind.

Wang can draw the face of any famous figure from late Chinese leader Mao Zedong and Colonel Sanders, the founder of the Kentucky chain of restaurants, to movie stars such as Bruce Lee and Jean Reno.

Wang was inspired by an online videotape of famous American hairdresser Rob Verrell, who paints celebrity faces on his clients' scalp. Wang decided to emulate it in China.

Wang was known for successfully sculpting the first face on the scalp in 2015.

His popularity has increased so that customers come from neighboring provinces and cities specifically to get a distinctive figure for Wang's celebrity face.

"It's a kind of art that comes from life and goes beyond that," Wang said.

One of Wang's frequent customers is Shi Li Ke, a 30-year-old delivery worker. He has been chosen by artistic designs such as the distinguished mustache of Salvador Dali.

When Reuters visited Wang's haircut, Wang chose to get a copy of Mao's face on his head to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Chai Rubin, 28, was also very happy when he received England captain David Beckham on his scalp.

Wang spends two weeks a month on the road, giving lessons on how to draw basic patterns on customers' heads across the country for hairdressers and hairdressers in large salon chains.

Aside from managing his own salon, Wang offers hair sculptures to eight or ten customers a month.

Customers pay 200 euros ($ 30) for every head fee, the same price as the regular hair story at the Wang salon.

Wang can finish making a full model within an hour and the hair begins to grow again after about a week.
