Dass Hair Style

We are located at 129/1, Sanjeeverayan Koil in Old Washermanpet. It’s right across from the Hanuman Koil, which is where most people look for us. The shop has been here for a while and we’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit over the years. It’s usually pretty hot in Chennai, so the fans are always spinning inside. We have the basic chairs and mirrors that have been with us for a long time. It isn't a fancy place with modern decorations. It’s just a spot where you can come in, sit down, and get your hair cut without any fuss. We spend a lot of our time chatting with the regulars who live around the temple area. Sometimes the street noise from the traffic and the temple bells gets quite loud, but we’re used to it by now. We don't have a big staff, just a couple of us working the scissors and clippers. The floor gets covered in hair pretty fast on busy mornings and we’re always sweeping. We keep a stack of old newspapers for anyone waiting. It’s a simple way to spend the day. We don't do anything complicated here. Most folks just want a normal trim so they can get back to their work. We’ve known some of these families for generations. It’s a steady job and we like being part of Old Washermanpet. The shop isn't huge but it fits what we need to do. We usually stay open until the temple crowds thin out.
