Central Mens Parlour

Our shop is at 753 Sadashiv Peth. If you are looking for the Kotak Mahindra Bank or the Pune Stock Exchange, we are right across from them. Being in this part of Pune means there is always something happening outside the door. It’s a classic men’s parlour where you can get your hair cut without a lot of fuss. We have the usual chairs and the big mirrors that have seen better days but still do the job. My morning usually starts with sweeping the floor and setting out the towels. We get a mix of older gentlemen who have been coming here for decades and some younger guys who just want a quick trim before work. The noise from the traffic outside is constant, but inside we try to keep things relaxed. We don't use any high-tech equipment, just the standard clippers and razors. Sometimes the conversation gets a bit loud when politics comes up, but it’s all in good fun. It is a small space, so things can get a bit crowded on Saturday mornings. We don’t take appointments or anything like that. You just walk in, see if there’s a wait, and grab a newspaper while you sit on the bench. It’s a very straightforward way of doing things, and that is how we like it. We focus on the task at hand and try to make sure everyone leaves looking a bit neater than when they walked in.
