Wonder Mens Parlour

Over here at Wonder Mens Parlour, we’ve been part of the Sadashiv Peth neighborhood for a good stretch. You can find us right on Kamthekar Road. It’s one of those spots in Pune where there’s always someone walking by or a scooter zooming past. Inside the shop, we have the usual setup with the big mirrors and those chairs that have seen better days but are still comfortable enough for a quick trim. Most of the guys who come in are regulars from around the block. They usually want the same thing every time, maybe a shave or just a basic haircut to keep things tidy. We keep the radio on or sometimes the news is playing on a small TV in the corner. The floor gets covered in hair pretty fast, so someone is always grabbing the broom to sweep it up before the next person sits down. It’s not a huge place, just enough room for a few people to wait their turn. We try to keep the fans going because it gets stuffy in the afternoons. Sometimes we talk about the local cricket matches or just whatever is happening on the street outside. It’s a simple routine, day in and day out. We open early and stay until the last customer is done in the evening. There’s no big sign or anything, just the name on the front and the sound of scissors clipping away. We don't really change much around here because the guys like it the way it is.
