Down in Sadri, right at the Ranakpur Akharia Chowk, you will find Santosh Hair Salon. It is right in the middle of where everything happens in the chowk, so there is always something to look at through the front window. People are always passing by on their way to the temple or the market, and some of them end up coming in for a quick shave or to get their hair shortened. The shop is quite modest, just a few chairs and the basic tools we need for the job. We don’t go in for any of that modern styling stuff, we just do the traditional cuts that people around here have always asked for. The walls are a bit plain, and the floor has seen a lot of feet over the years, but it is a comfortable place for the local men to sit and talk for a while. Usually, the conversation is about the weather or the local crops, and we just listen while we work. It’s a dusty part of town, so we spend a lot of time wiping down the mirrors and the counters. We open up when the sun comes up and we stay until it gets dark. It is just a small part of the life here in Sadri, nothing special or out of the ordinary. We just do our work and hope people leave feeling a bit better than they did when they walked in. That is how we have always done things.
