Aftab Hair Cutting

Aftab Hair Cutting is located in the Shiv Block of Raghu Nagar and it’s a place where we mostly see the local people from the nearby houses. The shop is at number 225 and it’s a fairly small space but it’s enough for what we do. I start the day by opening up the front and checking if we have enough supplies like shaving cream and clean blades. Raghu Nagar is a busy area but this particular block feels a bit more like a community where everyone knows who lives where. I’ve been cutting hair here for a while and the routine doesn't change much from one day to the next. The floor is made of old tile that is a bit worn down in front of the chairs but it’s easy to clean with a quick sweep. We have a few pictures on the wall of different styles but most people just ask for the same thing they always get. It’s a simple life and I don’t try to make it look like something it’s not. The mirrors are a bit old and have some spots on the edges but they work fine for seeing what I’m doing. I like the sound of the scissors and the small talk that happens throughout the day. When it rains the water sometimes splashes under the door but we just put a rug down and keep going. It’s just a normal neighborhood business that stays open as long as people need us.
