Delux Hair Set

Delux Hair Set is right at Kothi Char Rasta in the Raopura area. This is one of the older parts of Vadodara and it has its own charm. The shop is small and sits on a busy corner. You can hear the traffic and the people talking all day long. We have a couple of chairs and some basic tools for cutting hair. It’s a very straightforward place. We don't have any air conditioning, just a couple of ceiling fans that hum quite loudly. Most of our customers are people who work in the nearby offices or live in the old houses around Raopura. We’ve been at this spot for quite a while. The mirror is large and covers most of the wall. Sometimes it gets a bit dusty with the road being so close. We use regular scissors and combs. Nothing modern. It’s just a traditional barber shop feel. We don't have a fancy waiting area. People just stand around or sit on a small wooden stool. We talk about the local politics or the cricket scores. It’s a very relaxed place even though the street outside is chaotic. I usually open up early in the morning before it gets too hot. By evening the shop is full of hair and we have to do a big sweep. I've been thinking of getting a new sign but the old one still says what it needs to. It’s just a simple life running a shop in Raopura.
