Aajad Hair Dresser

Aajad Hair Dresser has been here in Kanpur for a lot of years. We are over in the Harjinder Nagar area, specifically near Rama Devi. If you know Kanpur, you know how busy this part can get with all the people and the noise from the street. My shop is small and tucked away, but we have a steady group of regulars who have been coming to me since they were kids. Now some of them bring their own children. It makes me feel old, but that is how it goes. I don't really have any assistants or fancy staff. It is usually just me or maybe one other person helping out on the busy days like Sundays. We have the basic stuff, some old chairs that still lean back okay and sharp razors for the shaves. The lighting isn't the best but I know what I am doing by feel now. Rama Devi is a landmark everyone knows, so finding us isn't too hard. I usually open up early in the morning before the sun gets too hot. Kanpur heat is really something else in the summer, so I keep the fan running all day. I don't go around saying I am the best or anything, I just do the hair cutting the way I was taught. People seem happy enough with it. We talk about cricket or the prices of things while I work. It is just a normal shop for normal people in a very busy city.
