Alfa Hair Dresser

Kanpur heat is something else, especially here at Heeraman Purwa. Our shop is at 91/42, right in Iftikharabad. It isn't a huge place, just a few chairs and mirrors that have seen better days, but they do the job. We open up early most mornings when the street is still a bit quiet before the traffic starts. Usually, it is just me and the other guys getting things ready, sweeping the floor and making sure the towels are clean enough. People come in for a quick haircut or a shave before they head off to work. We have been here for a while now, so we know most of the faces that walk through the door. Sometimes the fans are a bit loud, and we have to talk over them to hear what the customer wants. It gets busy on weekends, that is just how it is. We don't have any fancy machines or anything, just basic scissors and razors. Most people come because they live nearby and don't want to go far. If the power goes out, we just open the door wider to let some light in. It is just a regular shop where you can sit down, get your hair cut, and maybe talk about the cricket match or whatever is happening in the neighborhood. That is mostly how our days go here in Kanpur, just one person after another.
