Durga Gents Hair Style

Our shop is on the Main Road in Kedhareswaripeta. If you know Vijayawada, you know how busy the fruit market area gets. It is always loud with the sounds of trucks unloading and vendors calling out their prices. We are tucked in right there, close enough to smell the mangoes when they are in season. It gets quite hot in the afternoons, so the ceiling fan is always humming away. Men come in after they finish their shopping or their work shifts. They just want to sit down and get a clean shave or a haircut without much fuss. The chairs are lined up against the wall and the mirrors are a bit spotted, but they do the job. We talk about the weather or how the traffic is getting worse on the Main Road. It is not a place for anything fancy. We just use the tools we have and try to keep the shop as cool as possible. Sometimes a customer brings in a bag of fruit they just bought, and the whole place smells like guavas or bananas for a while. It is a good spot to see what is happening in the city. By the time evening rolls around, the street lights come on and the market gets even louder, but inside we just keep on with the scissors and the spray bottles.
