Yall Gents Beauty Parlour

This is our small gents parlour in Podanur. We have been here in Coimbatore for a good amount of time now. The shop is a simple setup on one of the local streets. Most of the men who come here live just a few blocks away. It’s a place where you can get a haircut or a shave without any fuss. I usually start the day by cleaning the clippers and making sure the towels are fresh. Podanur is a busy area, so there is always noise from the bikes and cars outside. We don't have a big team, just a couple of us working the chairs. On Sunday mornings, the line can get a bit long, so people sit on the bench and read the newspaper while they wait. We talk about cricket or the weather mostly. The water in Coimbatore is okay, but we still have to be careful with how we wash hair. Sometimes the equipment acts up, but we fix it and keep going. It isn’t a high-end salon with fancy lights. It’s just a place to get trimmed. I’ve seen kids grow up coming here, first for their school cuts and later for their wedding shaves. It feels good to be part of the community like that. We don't do anything flashy, just the basic stuff that guys need to look decent for work.
