A Martin Hair Dreser - Ladies & Gents Beauty Parlour

We are over here at the Church Building on Shahnazaf Road. It is a pretty old spot in Hazratganj and most people around here know where the building is. I have been doing hair for a long time now. Both ladies and gents come into the shop for different things. Some just want a quick trim while others are looking for something more for a wedding or a party. It is a small place but we keep it tidy. The fans are always going because Lucknow gets so hot in the summer months. Usually, the mornings are quiet and I sit outside for a bit before the first customer shows up. By the afternoon, it gets crowded with people from the offices nearby. We do haircuts, shaving for the men, and then stuff like facials or threading for the women. There is no big fancy waiting room, just a few chairs where people sit and chat while they wait their turn. I try to make sure everyone leaves looking better than when they walked in. Sometimes the power goes out but we just manage with what we have. It’s a simple business. We don't have a website or anything like that. People just walk in or call us. Hazratganj is always busy so there is always noise from the street coming in through the door. It feels like home after being here so many years. I just focus on the work in front of me and that is enough.
