The Cuts Point

The Cuts Point is located right on Model Gram Station Road. We are at Shop No. 111, which is very close to the Bank of India. Being near the station means there’s always people walking past. You see people rushing for their trains or coming home after a long day in the city. Our shop is a bit of a landmark for those who live around Model Gram. It’s a straightforward place. We have the usual barber chairs and some shelves for the lotions and powders we use. The floor is that basic white tile that we have to sweep constantly because of all the hair. We don't have any of those expensive coffee machines or flat-screen TVs. Usually, we just have a small radio or maybe someone’s phone playing some music. It’s a place where men and kids come to get a quick cut without any fuss. The lighting is bright, maybe a bit too bright, but it helps us see the lines clearly. We’ve been here long enough that we know most of the people who walk through the door by name. We don't use any fancy language to describe what we do. We just cut hair and trim beards. It’s a simple trade and we’re happy to be doing it here by the station. Sometimes the door sticks when it rains, but we just give it a good push.
