Baraka Mens Beauty Salon

Baraka Mens Beauty Salon is right on the Main Road in Shivajipalem, Visakhapatnam. We are located directly opposite Shivaji Park, which is a nice view to have. You can often see people walking their dogs or kids playing while you sit in the shop. It is a straightforward place for men to get a haircut or a shave. We have the standard revolving chairs and big mirrors along the wall. I’ve been working here for a while now and I’ve seen kids grow up into men coming to this same shop. The floor gets covered in hair pretty quickly, so I am constantly sweeping. It is a simple routine. We open up, get the water heating, and wait for the first customer. During the weekends, there is often a queue, and people just hang out on the plastic chairs we have near the door. We don't have fancy coffee or anything like that, just a water dispenser in the corner. The humidity in Vizag can be tough, so we keep the fans on full blast all day. The shop has a bit of a hum from the clippers and the traffic outside. It is a loud, busy street, but once you are inside, it feels a bit more relaxed. We aren't looking to become some big chain. We are just happy being the local spot for the guys in Shivajipalem.
