Pratik Mens Parlour

We’ve been here at Swaroop Building for a while now. Most people know us because we’re right at the Chowk near the Mahindra Garage. It gets pretty busy around Erandwane, especially with the traffic coming from Mhatre Bridge. Our shop isn't fancy. It's just Pratik Mens Parlour. We have the usual chairs and mirrors you'd expect. People drop in when they're passing Surya Tower or after they've finished work nearby. Sometimes it’s a bit loud outside with the cars, but inside it’s just us doing what we do. We open up early and stay until the evening. The floor gets covered in hair by mid-morning, so we spend a lot of time sweeping. It’s a simple spot. We know the neighbors and the guys who work at the garage. If you’re looking for us, just look for the sign near the bridge. We don't have a big website or anything. Most folks just walk in. The building is old but it stays cool enough in the summer. We keep the fans running all day. Sometimes the light from Surya Tower reflects right into our front window in the afternoon. It’s just a normal part of life here in Pune 411004. We’ve seen the area change a lot over the years, but the shop stays pretty much the same. We just keep our scissors sharp and wait for the next person to sit down in the chair and get their hair cut.
