Uttam Hair Dresser

Uttam Hair Dresser is located near the Allahabad Kutchery, specifically at 21/22 in the Old Katra area. This is a very old part of town and our shop fits right in. We have been here for a long time, serving the lawyers and clerks who work at the court. They come in for a quick shave or a trim before they go to work. The shop is narrow and has high ceilings, typical of the old buildings in Allahabad - 211002. We have large mirrors that are starting to get dark around the edges, but they still work fine. The air is usually thick with the smell of shaving cream and cheap aftershave. My brothers and I run the place together. We do not have any assistants. It is a family thing. We learn the trade from our elders and just keep it going. The street outside is always busy with people and rickshaws. We have a small bench outside where people sit and wait when the three chairs inside are full. We do not do anything complicated, just standard cuts. If you want something trendy, we might not be the right place, but if you want a reliable haircut, we are here. It is a modest shop and we don’t pretend it is anything else. We are just local people serving local people every day.
