Collegian Hair Art

If you know where Janta Bekry is on Mangala Main Road, then you’ve probably seen our shop right across from it. We are in the Manahar Society part of Rajkot. The name is Collegian Hair Art, which I picked because we get a lot of younger guys coming in from the nearby areas. It’s a straightforward hair shop. No big frills. We have the usual chairs and the radio playing in the background most days. Being in the 360001 area means there’s always something happening outside. Sometimes the smell of fresh bread from the bakery across the street makes us all hungry. I’ve lived in Rajkot my whole life and started this place to keep busy. It’s a small space, but we keep the tools sharp and the towels clean enough. People stop by for a quick shave or a trim before they head off to work or school. We don't really do appointments, folks just walk in and wait their turn. It's a good way to hear the local gossip. Manahar Society is a decent place to be. We’ve had the same neighbors for years. Sometimes we sit outside on the bench when it’s quiet. It isn’t a fancy salon with bright lights, just a regular hair art shop. We do our best to make sure no one leaves looking messy. That’s about all there is to it, really. We keep a stack of old magazines on the table for people to read while they wait their turn. It gets the job done.
