Star Mens Parlour

We are over in Nana Peth, near the Hamal Talim area. It’s a small place, just a few chairs and big mirrors. We’ve been cutting hair here for a long time. Most of the guys in the neighborhood come by. It’s not one of those fancy salons with music and expensive products. It’s just a regular barber shop. We do haircuts and shaves. The floor usually has hair on it until we sweep it up between customers. We use standard scissors and clippers. Sometimes there’s a wait, especially on Sundays. People sit on the bench and read the newspaper or just talk. It gets a bit warm in here when it's crowded. We know most of our customers by name. We don't really do anything complicated. If you want a trim or a clean shave, that’s what we do. The mirrors are a bit old and the chairs have some wear on them. But they are comfortable enough. We open early in the morning. Nana Peth is a busy part of Pune, and there’s always noise from the street. Inside, it’s just the sound of the clippers and maybe the radio. We try to keep things simple and honest. No appointments usually, just walk in and wait your turn. It’s a basic shop for basic needs. We’ve been part of this street for years and we’re used to the pace.
