Lakki Gents Parlour

Lakki Gents Parlour is at D-265 in Lajpat Nagar, Sahibabad. We are right near Agrawal Sweets, which is where everyone goes for their snacks. Ghaziabad can be a hectic place, but our little corner of Lajpat Nagar feels more like a community. The shop is part of a residential building, so it’s not like those big salons in malls. We have a simple sign outside and a couple of chairs inside. The floor is tiled and we try to keep it neat, though hair gets everywhere during a busy shift. We get a lot of guys from the neighborhood who come in for a shave or a cut before they head off to their jobs. Most of the time, the TV is on in the corner showing the news or a cricket match. It gives people something to look at while they wait. The smell of sweets from Agrawal’s sometimes comes inside when the wind blows the right way. We don’t have a big staff, just a few of us who have been doing this for years. It’s a comfortable place where you don’t have to act fancy. We know the local gossip and who’s doing what in the area. Being in Sahibabad means we see all kinds of people, from students to office workers. We just keep the doors open and the scissors moving. It’s a steady, simple way to make a living every single day.
