Afsar Hair Dresser

I usually get to Bihari Ji New Market quite early before the sun gets too high over Jaganair Road. The shop is located near Tantpur Inter College so we get a lot of the young guys coming in for a cut before their classes start. Afsar Hair Dresser is just a small place with a couple of chairs and some mirrors that have been there since we first opened. I spend the first part of my morning sweeping the floor and getting the towels ready for the day. It’s a bit of a routine but I don't mind it much. The area around Tantpur is pretty lively and there is always someone passing by the door to say hello or ask how things are going. We don't have any of those big fancy signs or bright lights to get attention. It's just a regular local shop where people can come sit down and get their hair done without any fuss or loud music. The ceiling fan hums along all day and sometimes it doesn't do much against the summer heat but we make do. I like being in this part of the market because you see everyone. We keep some old newspapers on a small table for people to read while they wait their turn. Most days are pretty much the same but that’s okay with me. We just focus on doing the work and making sure the shop stays tidy enough for the next person who walks through the door and needs a trim.
