Arya Parlour

You can find us over on the 1st Main Road in Sadashiv Peth. It’s an old part of the city and we’ve become part of the daily routine for a lot of people living around here. Arya Parlour is a small setup. We don't have much room for fancy decorations, so we just keep it clean and functional. Most mornings start with opening the shutters and getting the hot water ready. We see all sorts of people, from students to old men who have lived in the Peth their whole lives. It’s a nice mix. We talk about the local news or the weather while we work. The 1st Main Road can get pretty packed with scooters and people walking to the temple or the market. It’s a lively place to be. We don't have a big team, just a couple of us who know how to handle the scissors and the razors. We’ve learned that people just want a reliable place where they can get a decent haircut without paying a fortune. We try to provide that. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy from morning until evening. Sometimes we stay open a bit late if someone really needs a trim, but usually, we wrap up when the sun goes down and the street gets a bit quieter. It is just the way we like it. The years go by fast when you are talking to neighbors and cutting hair in a place like Sadashiv Peth.
