Some days we used to practice till 2.00 a.m., because during the day we used to run the regular salon,&quot; Rajwinder, the younger of the two brothers, told Reuters in an interview.</p><p>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.</p><p>From requests of images of Bollywood stars to popular sportspersons and even an impression of Mickey Mouse, the brothers&#x27; 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.</p><p>&quot;Today, I got a tattoo of the Taj Mahal. The monument is very beautiful and with this tattoo, I will stand out in the crowd,&quot; said salon customer Darbar Singh, showing off his brand new haircut.
