Classic Gents Beaty Hair Style

Down on 31st Cross near Mosque Road, the shop sits right there at number 13. It is a loud street most days with bikes zooming past and people calling out to each other. We have been here for a bit now. Inside, it smells like talcum powder and aftershave. The lighting isn't the brightest, but it works for what we do. Guys come in for a shave or a trim before heading to work or the mosque. We keep the chairs lined up and the towels clean. Sometimes the water runs cold in the morning, so we have to wait a bit. It’s not a big place, just enough room for a few people to wait. We don't have fancy decorations on the walls, just the basic stuff you need for hair. The floor tiles are a bit worn out from all the walking. We see the same faces every month. It’s nice when someone brings a bit of news from the neighborhood. We don’t rush things here. If there is a line, people just wait their turn. The ceiling fan wobbles a little but it keeps the air moving during the hot afternoons. We just focus on the hair and making sure people look decent when they walk back out onto the street. It’s just a regular part of the day for us at this corner of Bangalore. There is always someone new stopping by because they saw the sign while walking to the mosque.
