Hollywood Hair Saloon

Hollywood Hair Saloon is what we call this place, even though we are far away from any movie sets here in Balwant Nagar. We are right in the heart of Jalandhar City, a place that stays active from early morning until late at night. The shop is a simple one-room setup with the usual equipment you'd expect to find in a local barber shop. I spend a lot of my time sharpening the razors and making sure the combs are clean. Balwant Nagar is a quiet enough area but Jalandhar itself is always buzzing. We get a lot of local men coming in who just want a quick shave or a standard cut so they can get back to work. The mirrors are a bit old and have some spots on the edges, but you can see yourself well enough. I like the sound of the scissors snip-snipping away while the radio plays some local Punjabi songs in the background. Sometimes the electricity goes out for a bit, but we just open the door wider to let the sunlight in and keep working. People here don't mind much, they are used to it. We've got a small bench outside for when it gets crowded inside. It’s just a normal business running day to day. We don't try to be anything we aren't, just a place for the guys in 144001 to get their hair sorted out and talk for a few minutes.
