Shri Ram Hair Parlour

Shri Ram Hair Parlour is located at number 4 in Parvati Nagar. We are right on Bapa Sitaram Road in the Katargam area of Surat. This part of the city is always full of life and people moving around. Our shop is just a small room with a couple of chairs where we do our daily work. We’ve been here for years, and the neighbors all know us by name. Bapa Sitaram Road has many shops, but we are tucked into a spot that is easy to walk to for anyone living in Parvati Nagar. Every morning we open up the shop and get the water ready and the combs lined up. There is a lot of chatter throughout the day because people like to sit and talk even if they aren't getting their hair cut. We have an old television in the corner that we keep on for the news or some music. The walls have a few pictures on them, and the floor is a bit worn down from all the feet walking over it. It’s a simple setup. We don't have any fancy assistants or big uniforms. We just wear our regular clothes and get to work. When the festivals come around, the whole road gets very crowded and we stay busy until late at night. Most days, though, it’s just a steady stream of locals coming in for a trim. We just focus on the task in front of us and keep the conversation going.
