S M Hair Styles

We're over on Sorangam Road in the Chitti Nagar part of Vijayawada. S M Hair Styles is what we call the place. It's a straightforward barber shop, nothing too fancy at all. We have the usual chairs and mirrors and a lot of different combs and scissors lying around. Most of the guys around here know us by name. We’ve been cutting hair on this street for quite a while now. Vijayawada can get incredibly humid, so a lot of people come in just to get their hair cut short to stay cool in the heat. We don't do any of those complicated styles you see on TV, just regular cuts that look decent and clean. The shop gets a bit cramped when there are four or five people waiting, but everyone just leans against the wall and chats. We hear a lot about local politics and cricket matches while we work. It’s a good way for us to stay informed about what’s happening. The road outside is always noisy with autos and bikes zooming past. Sometimes we have to shout a bit to be heard over the sound of the engines. We don't have a fancy sign or big flashing lights, just the name on the front of the shop. We keep our blades sharp and our towels as clean as we can. It’s honest work and it pays the bills every month. If you’re ever in Chitti Nagar and need a quick trim, we’re right there.
