Ai Akbar Saloon

This saloon is located in Irikkur, right in the Kannur Ho area with the pin code 670001. It’s a straightforward shop where we do a lot of haircuts and shaves throughout the day. The shop has the usual chairs and mirrors you would expect in a local place. It gets pretty hot in Kannur, so we try to keep the fans going as much as we can. We see a lot of locals who come in every few weeks for their regular trim. There is usually some news playing on the radio or people just chatting while they wait their turn. It’s not one of those modern, fancy parlors; it’s just a regular spot for men to get cleaned up. We keep our tools sharp and the floor swept, though hair has a way of getting everywhere by the end of the day. The address in Irikkur is easy enough to find once you are in the main part of town. We open up early and stay until the evening, depending on how many people are waiting. Sometimes it’s quiet and we just sit by the door, and other times every chair is full and there's a bit of a wait. We don't have a big website or anything, just this physical shop where we’ve been working for a long time. People know us by name, and we know how most of our regulars like their hair done without them even asking. It is just Ai Akbar Saloon.
