Kirti Hair Parlour

Kirti Hair Parlour is over in Nana Varaccha, specifically in Shakti Vijay Society. We’re at Shop No. 3. It’s a tight squeeze sometimes when three or four people are waiting at once. We’ve got a couple of chairs that have been with us for a long time. They’re comfortable enough, I think. We don’t have any of that modern decor you see in the city center. It’s just brick and mortar and the tools we use every day. We get a lot of young guys coming in wanting something they saw on TV, and we do our best with the scissors. The floor is almost always covered in hair because we’re constantly moving from one person to the next. We have a small sink in the back for washing up. Sometimes the power goes out for a bit, but we just keep working with the door open for light. That’s just part of living in Surat, I guess. We aren’t really interested in being a big name. We just want to make sure the people in the society have a place to go that isn’t too far or too expensive. It’s a practical little shop. We start our day early and usually stay open until the street lights come on. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy. Most days are the same, but that is fine with us.
