Akar Hair Cutting

Akar Hair Cutting is located at 52 A J.L Neharu Road, right in the heart of Tagore Town in Allahabad. This is an old part of the city and our shop fits right in with the surroundings. I have been sitting in this spot for many years now. The building is older, but it has good thick walls that stay cool even when the sun is beating down on Neharu Road. We have the usual barber setup. Three chairs, big mirrors with some spots on the edges, and a shelf for the lotions and powders. I like using the straight razor for shaves because it is what I learned first. My hands are still steady after all this time. We get a lot of regular gentlemen who have been coming to me since they were boys. Now they bring their own kids for their first trims. It is a lot of gossip and news sharing here. We talk about the local politics or the prices at the market. I don't use any fancy machines, just my hands and my tools. The morning time is usually the quietest, then it picks up after lunch when people are out. We have a small bench outside for people to sit if the chairs inside are full. It is a simple life running a hair cutting shop in Tagore Town. We just want to make sure every person looks neater.
