This Barber Makes Celebrity Portraits Out of Hair

Oct 25 2015 - 6:00am

Typically we think of barbershops as a place the men in our life go to escape female influence, a retreat where dudes can talk about sports and shamelessly check themselves out in the mirror. But in San Antonio, one barber is creating works of art out of hair.

Rob Ferrel, aka Rob the Original [1], uses his clippers to carve out celebrity portraits on his clients. Then, he adds color with a touch of paint. Rob's done likenesses of everyone from Hillary Clinton to Snoop Dogg. On his Instagram [2], you can also see his works of art etched in hair clippings, sand, and pizza.

If our significant other came in with one of these custom cuts, we can't say we'd be thrilled. But you've got to respect Rob's skills with the clippers. Watch the video below to see how it's done, and keep reading to see more of his amazing hair creations (The Weeknd is our personal favorite).
