Master Hair Art

This is Master Hair Art over on Shahpur Road. We are tucked into Kumbhar Street. Shahpur is an old part of Ahmedabad, so the roads are a bit narrow and always full of people moving around. My shop is small but it has been here for years. You can see the clay workers and other shops all around us. It is a very traditional atmosphere. Men from the street come in for their morning shave or a trim. We keep the old-style chairs. Sometimes the water runs a bit slow or the electricity goes for a minute, but that is just life in this area. We have a radio playing most of the time. The mirrors have a few spots on them from age. I don't see the point in changing everything to look modern when people like it the way it is. It's a place to catch up on local news. Who is getting married, who is moving away. It is a simple hair art shop. We use regular razors and scissors. Nothing fancy. Just a place where you can get a clean cut and go about your business. It is a bit crowded on the weekends with people having more free time. But during the week, it’s mostly just the regulars popping in for a quick visit. We close up around eight usually, depending on if anyone is still waiting for their turn in the chair.
