A man's hair is something sacred, and a talented artist could just turn it into the perfect medium for expressing creativity.

The photo uploaded above was submitted to Reddit by user ElderCunningham. As you can probably notice, it is an excellent portrait-like rendition of a man's face.

I don't know if the portrait was inspired by the haircut holder's actual face, but the artist did a great job.

The hair style features a nose, expressive eyes and a beard, and the hair just gives the suggestion of brush strokes.

The image has been compared by users to Billy Mays, George Carlin and the Most Interesting Man in the World.

"I don't always get a hair cut, but when it does, it takes four hours," its caption reads.
