New Yuvraj Parlour

You can find us over at Shastri Chowk on Ratu Road. This part of Ranchi is always moving, especially near Piska More where the traffic seems to never stop. New Yuvraj Parlour has been here for a while, tucked away among the other small shops and businesses that line the street. Inside, it is just a normal place with the usual tools of the trade laid out on the counter. We have a few old pictures on the walls and the mirrors are kept as clean as we can manage with all the hair flying around. My day mostly consists of standing on my feet and listening to the radio while I work on whoever sits in the chair. Sometimes we have three people working at once, and other times it is just me. The regulars know that if they come in on a Tuesday, they might have to wait a bit longer than usual. We don't have a fancy waiting area, just a few plastic chairs for people to sit and read the newspaper or check their phones. Most guys just want a simple cut so they can get back to their day. It is not a glamorous job, but it is steady work and we like seeing the same faces every month. The neighborhood is loud, but once you step inside, the sound of the clippers and the fan takes over. We just focus on what we are doing and try to keep the shop running smoothly day after day.
