An Egyptian barber named Walid Makram, popularly known as Caesar gives daring customers haircuts with faces of famous Arabic celebrities especially sports stars.

He learned how to etch head portraits two years ago.

The technique involves using white chalk to draw the portrait of a celebrity’s face, before using clippers, scissors and razor blades to add details.

Last year Caesar won a competition in an Arab festival for hairdressers.

He uses a black and white drawing without any facial details to successfully finish a portrait.

Drawing one portrait typically takes up to two hours to complete.
