Krishna Hair Dresser.

If you know Johri Bazar, you know how crowded Ghee Walon Ka Rasta gets. Our shop, Krishna Hair Dresser, is at number 215. Being near Shwetamber School means there is always noise and kids running around outside. We’ve been here for years. The shop isn't very large, but we make it work. Most of our customers are from the neighborhood or people working in the market. It’s a tight space with a couple of mirrors and some old-style chairs. My father used to work here too. We don’t do anything flashy. It is mostly just scissors, combs, and a bit of conversation. Sometimes the tea man comes by and we take a break for five minutes. The walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but it’s home to us. People come in to get a quick trim before heading back to their stalls in the bazaar. We know most of them by name. It gets dusty because of the city traffic, but we sweep up often. You find us by looking for the small sign near the school. It’s a simple routine. Shaving, cutting hair, maybe a head massage if there is time. There is no air conditioning, just the ceiling fan that has been there forever. We like it this way. It’s just a part of the old city life. We keep the doors open and watch the street go by every day.
