Wakhre Gents Parlour

Wakhre Gents Parlour is tucked away on Shivshankar Colony Road in Aurangabad. If you are looking for us, we are right behind the Sayli Beer Bar. It is a pretty easy landmark for most people around here to find. The shop is small and we focus mostly on men’s haircuts and traditional shaves. It gets quite busy on the weekends because everyone in Shivshankar Colony seems to want a haircut at the same time on Sunday. We have just the basic setup with three chairs and a few cupboards for our razors, combs, and spray bottles. The walls have a few old posters on them that have been there for years. It is a bit of a hangout for some of the older men in the colony. They come in and talk about local politics or the weather while they wait their turn. Aurangabad can get very dry and dusty, so a good face wash or a clean shave really feels good at the end of the day. We are not doing anything fancy or modern, just the same way things have been done for a long time. The shop has its own rhythm. We open up early in the morning and close once the last customer is finally done. Sometimes we stay late if there is a wedding or a festival in the area. Being behind a beer bar means it can get a little loud in the evenings, but we don't mind it. It’s just part of being in this location. We are just local guys for the neighborhood.
