Alankar Mens Beauty Parlour

My shop is Alankar Mens Beauty Parlour. It is located at number 24 on Car Street in Ulsoor, Bangalore. We are very close to the Someshwara Temple, which is a big landmark around here that everyone knows. I’ve been in this spot for quite a long time now. The shop is small and basic. I have two chairs for cutting hair and a simple wooden bench for people to wait their turn. Being on Car Street means we see a lot of people going to and from the temple every day. It’s a nice neighborhood to be in. We do mostly haircuts, shaves, and the occasional head massage. The street is old and has a lot of character, and my shop fits right in with the others. I keep the windows open when it's not too dusty or loud outside. It's just a one-man or two-man operation most days. I don't use any high-tech equipment, just my trusty scissors and electric clippers. Most of my customers have been coming to me for many years. They come from all over the Ulsoor area. We talk about the local happenings and the temple festivals. The zip code here is 560008. It’s not a polished salon like the ones in the big malls. It’s just a regular place where men can get a quick trim. I try to keep it tidy, but hair gets everywhere and it's a constant job sweeping it up.
