Rao Gents Parlous

We’re located right in the heart of Pune City, in the 411002 area. The shop isn't anything special to look at from the outside, but we’ve been here long enough that people know the name. It’s a small space with the usual barber chairs and a couple of wooden benches for people waiting their turn. I started this place because I knew how to cut hair and didn't want to work for anyone else. It’s mostly just me and one other guy helping out. We do basic cuts, shaves, and maybe a head massage if someone's feeling tired after work. The mirrors are a bit old, and the walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but it feels like home to us. Mornings are usually quiet, mostly older men coming in for a clean shave before they start their day. By the evening, it gets a bit more crowded with younger guys stopping by. We don't have a website or anything like that. Most folks just know we’re here by word of mouth. The shop smells like aftershave and talcum powder most of the time. We try to keep the tools sharp and the floor tidy. It’s a steady life, just cutting hair day after day in this corner of the city. We don’t rush things; we just take people as they come and do the work right.
