Mens Handsome Parlour

Mens Handsome Parlour is at No 1 on Mulla Sahib Street. We are right there in Sowcarpet, which is always crowded and noisy with all the shops and people moving around. If you know where the Mint Apollo Hospital is, we are quite close to that area. Inside, it’s just a standard barber shop with the big chairs that lean back for shaves. We have some old posters on the wall and a small TV that is usually playing the news or some songs. The floor is tiled and we try to mop it every morning before the first person walks in. Most of the men who come here are just looking for a quick trim or a shave before they head to work or after they finish their shift. We keep the razors and scissors on a small shelf near each mirror. The lighting is okay, but it can get a bit dim in the corners when the sun goes down. It isn't a fancy place with air conditioning or anything like that, just the ceiling fans spinning fast. Sometimes it gets a bit hot in the afternoons when the sun hits the front of the shop. We have a bench for people to sit on while they wait their turn. Most of the time, the guys just talk about cricket or the traffic outside. It’s just a normal part of the street where people know they can come in and get things done. We have been here for quite a long time now.
