Relax Gents & Ladies Parlour

The Combined Building in Dhanbad is always crowded with people. There is always someone walking past the door or looking for an office nearby. We started Relax Gents & Ladies Parlour because people around here needed a place that does both. It is nothing special inside, just two sides for different people. I usually spend my morning checking the combs and making sure we have enough clean cloth for the customers. The floor gets dusty fast because of the Dhanbad air, so I am always cleaning it. We have a few chairs that have seen better days but they are comfortable enough for a haircut. Sometimes the lights flicker when the power won't stay steady, but we manage. Men come in for a quick shave before work and the ladies usually show up later in the afternoon when the sun isn't so harsh. I like the routine of it. We do not have a big staff, just a couple of us who know how to handle the scissors and the creams. You can hear the traffic from the main road all day long. It is a loud part of town but inside it is okay. I keep a small radio on a shelf behind the counter, though half the time I forget to turn it on. It is just a place for people to sit down and get sorted out without any fuss. It has been this way for a long time now and we just keep the doors open for whoever comes.
