National Gents Beauty Parlour

You can find National Gents Beauty Parlour at No 58/28 on Lal Mohamed Cross Street in Triplicane. We are situated near the mosque, so the sound of the azaan is a regular part of our day. Triplicane is a very old part of Chennai, and the streets are narrow and always full of life. It gets very hot here, so we have a couple of ceiling fans that work hard to keep the air moving. The shop is tucked away, and if you aren’t looking for it, you might walk right past. We have been serving the men in this neighborhood for many years. Our equipment isn’t the newest, but we know how to use it properly. There is a lot of history in these walls, and we have seen many generations come through. People stop by even when they don’t need a haircut, just to say hello or talk about the weather. We keep a jug of water for anyone who is thirsty. It’s a humble spot with no big decorations or expensive furniture. We focus on the work at hand, whether it is a quick trim or a longer shave. The shop feels like home to many of us who spend our days here. We don't have a website or anything like that; we just open the doors in the morning and wait for the regulars to show up. It's a steady way to live and a nice way to see the neighbors.
