Baldeo Gents Beauty Parlour

I run Baldeo Gents Beauty Parlour over in the Bhanpur area of Bhopal. The shop is right on Bidisha Road, so we get a lot of people driving by or living in the nearby colonies. It is a straightforward gents' parlour. We do haircuts, shaves, and the occasional head massage for the men who come in after a long day of work. Bhopal can get quite humid, so a good hair wash and a clean shave go a long way in making someone feel fresh. The shop has four chairs and some big mirrors that I bought when I first opened. The walls are painted a simple color and I have a small TV in the corner that is usually on the news or a cricket match if there is one playing that day. Bidisha Road is a busy route, so there is always the sound of horns and engines in the background while we work. I have a few boys who work with me, and we have a good rhythm going most days. We know most of the customers by name because they have been coming here for many years. It’s a place where men can sit for twenty minutes, talk about politics or the weather, and leave feeling a bit better. We don’t have any fancy signs or expensive products, just the things that work for us.
