Manish Hair Cutting Salon

Manish Hair Cutting Salon is found in Renwal Manji, right along Diggi Road in Jaipur. It is a small shop that sits on a busy stretch of road where people are always coming and going from the city. I have been here for a long time, and the locals in Renwal know exactly where to find me. The shop is quite modest. I have two chairs and a large mirror that I got from an old shop in the city years ago. The light inside isn't very bright, but it is enough for me to see what I am doing. Diggi Road can be very windy, and the dust often blows inside, so I have to wipe down the counters several times a day. I don't have any assistants. I do all the hair cutting and shaving myself. It is a quiet existence, mostly. I listen to the radio or talk to the farmers who stop by to discuss the rain and the market prices. Sometimes a group of students will come in and the shop gets very loud for an hour. I don't mind the noise. It makes the day go by faster. I don't use any fancy machines or electric clippers unless I really have to. I prefer the old way of doing things with my scissors. It is just a small business on the edge of town, serving the people who live and work around here.
