Krishna Hair Styles

Down here in Kasturibaipet, life moves at its own pace. Our shop is at D No 33-25-5 on Bellapu Sobhanadri Street. It is a narrow enough street but we are right beside Pushpa Hotel, which is a big help for people trying to find where we are. Krishna Hair Styles is a small place with just a few chairs and some mirrors on the walls. We have been cutting hair in Vijayawada for a good while now and we know the area well. Most of our customers are locals who live just a few streets away from the shop. The place has that familiar smell of talcum powder and aftershave. We spend our mornings sharpening the razors and making sure the water heater is working for the day. During the lunch hour, it gets busy because of the people coming and going from the hotel next door. We do not have a big staff, just us working the combs and clippers. The radio is usually playing some local music in the background to keep things from being too quiet. Sometimes we have to wait for the power to come back on, but we just sit on the bench outside and chat with the neighbors until it does. It is not a fancy salon with expensive lights or high prices. It is just a place to get your hair done and talk about what is happening in the city. We keep the floor swept and the towels clean.
