Maradona Barber Photo Restoration

I’m working on a new website for a well-known barber in the middle east and want to showcase a historic photo of him cutting Diego Maradona’s hair. Unfortunately, the only copy we have is blurry, noisy, and faded; my own pass with “Gemeni’s Nano Banana” sharpened things a little, but it also altered the barber’s face so much that he no longer looks like himself.

What I need from you is a faithful, high-quality restoration. Every part of the picture should feel authentic, with both men instantly recognizable, accurate skin tones, and crisp details. Beyond bringing back their faces, I’d like balanced lighting, richer but realistic colors, and the removal of any remaining blur, scratches, or digital noise so the shot can sit proudly in a highlighted section of the site.

If you can retain the true likeness of both subjects—especially the barber—while giving the entire image modern clarity, I’d love to see your approach and previous work before we proceed.

I've attached multiple images.

-The original low quality image of the barber and Diego Maradona.
-An Ai attempt (barber looks nothing like he actually looks like)
-Multiple images of the barber himself in different images with different people so that there's full context on how he actually looks like. (Barber is older now so he got a salt and pepper facial hair going on)
