Shiva Narasimha Hair Dressing Centre

Our shop, Shiva Narasimha Hair Dressing Centre, is located in Murphy Town, Halasuru. The address is No. 25, and we are right across from the Shree Lingeshwara Temple. It’s a very spiritual and quiet spot compared to the rest of Bangalore. I’ve lived in Halasuru my whole life and opening this shop was a dream for me. We do traditional hair dressing. It’s mostly men and kids who come here. The temple across the street brings a lot of people to the area, especially on Tuesdays and Fridays. You can hear the temple bells while you’re sitting in the chair getting your hair cut. It makes for a very calm atmosphere. The shop itself is quite old. The floor tiles are a bit worn down and the chairs have been repaired a few times over the years. We don't mind. It’s a place where everyone knows your name. I keep a picture of the gods on the wall with some fresh flowers every morning. We do shaves, trims, and head massages with oil. It’s nothing fancy, just the way we’ve always done it in Murphy Town. Sometimes the kids from the neighborhood come in just to say hello. We are a part of this community at No. 25. It is a small space but it has a lot of heart and history in these walls. We just do our bit.
