Kanakadurga The Saloon

Over in Visakhapatnam, specifically in the Gandhigram area, is where Kanakadurga The Saloon is situated. We are in Kranthi Nagar, right beside the Maridimamba Temple. The temple is a very big landmark for us, and the bells ringing in the morning are part of our daily routine. It is a 530005 zip code area. The saloon is a simple one, built for the men who live and work in this part of Vizag. We have the usual mirrors and the adjustable chairs. It is often humid here, so we have the fans going full speed most of the time. The shop gets a bit crowded on the weekends when people have their day off. We do haircuts, shaves, and the usual head massages that people like. I have been working with these tools for a long time. It is not a shiny, modern place with glass walls. It is a real shop with a bit of dust on the shelves and plenty of talk. Most of our customers are regulars who have been coming since we opened. We know how they like their sideburns and how short they want the top. Being next to the temple means we see a lot of people passing by every day. It is a busy, noisy, and friendly place. We just do our work and keep things moving for the neighborhood. No fuss, just a decent cut.
