New Tushar Gents Parlour

We are located on Makabara Road in the Bequam Pura area. It is very close to the Makka Masjid here in Aurangabad. Being near a landmark like the masjid means there are always people around. The parlour is a basic shop for men’s grooming. We have a few old-style barber chairs that have seen a lot of use. The walls are painted a simple color and we have some mirrors hanging up. It’s not a place where you find luxury. It’s more about getting the job done. We do haircuts and shaves primarily. On Fridays, it gets particularly busy because of the location. We have to be quick but careful. The sounds of the street come right inside through the open door. You hear the bikes and the people talking outside. We know most of our customers by name. They live in the surrounding streets of Bequam Pura. Sometimes we just sit and talk when it’s slow. The tools we use are basic—clippers, scissors, and straight razors. We keep them in a drawer under the main counter. It’s a small space, so we have to keep it organized. The floor needs a lot of sweeping because of the hair. We don't have any big advertisements. People just know where we are. It is a steady business. We just take it one day at a time here on Makabara Road.
