Friends Hair Parlour

Friends Hair Parlour is situated on Green Park Main Road, which is just off Kotharia Main Road here in Rajkot. We are quite close to Charan Wadi, a landmark most locals know well. The name of the shop comes from the fact that we wanted it to be a place where friends could hang out. It’s not just a business for us. We’ve been in this spot for several years now. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but the chairs are comfortable enough. We get a lot of workers and students coming in from the nearby areas. Usually, the afternoons are quiet, and then it picks up in the evening when everyone is finishing work. I usually have the radio playing in the background, mostly old songs. It keeps the atmosphere relaxed while we work. We don't do any of that fancy styling you see in magazines. Just normal haircuts and the occasional beard trim. Sometimes kids come in and they're a bit scared of the clippers, so we have to be patient with them. It’s part of the job. The street outside can get quite dusty, especially when the wind picks up, so we are always wiping down the glass. It’s a bit of a struggle keeping everything tidy, but we do our best. If you're looking for a quick cut without having to wait too long, this is where we are. The front door sticks a little in the rainy season, so you have to give it a good push to get inside.
