Mukesh Hair Cutting

My name is Mukesh and I run Mukesh Hair Cutting. The shop is on Agra Road in Shamshabad. We are in the Fatehabad Tehsil part of Agra. It’s a straightforward place for men to get their hair done. I’ve been sitting in this shop for many years now. I have two chairs and some old scissors that still work better than the new ones. Most of the men from around Fatehabad Road come here for a quick shave or a trim. We talk about the local news or whatever is happening in the district. It’s a dusty spot because of all the traffic on Agra Road, so I spend a lot of time dusting the mirrors. The shop isn’t very big, so if more than three people come at once, someone has to wait outside on the wooden bench. I learned the trade from my uncle back in the day. We don’t have any fancy air conditioning, just a big ceiling fan that keeps us cool enough. I keep the shop open from early morning until the sun goes down. Sometimes I stay later if a regular customer shows up late. It’s not a complicated business. I just try to give a clean cut and make sure the towels are washed. People know me here and I know them. It’s just a small local hair cutting shop for the everyday working man.
