How would you like to sport a Tiananmen square or the Great Wall on your head ? Then just step into Jiangshanxiu salon.

National flags are placed at the entrance of the salon in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province in central China and staff wear naval uniforms and the song ‘Ode to the Motherland’ plays in the background.

Ahead of the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China, which will be celebrated countrywide on October 1, salon manager Cao Bin has given more than 30 customers patriotic cuts and styles - and says that’s only the start.

You can also choose a design from the real life models — the staff.

Becoming a walking work of art is absolutely free, it will just cost you time as some designs can take anything up to two hours.
