Karachi barber-shop is a bit of a confused hybrid between the traditional desi neighbourhood joint and the flashier salons. This is the poor little go-getter who couldn’t quite make it.
Back in the day, a cut and a shave was the most people expected out of a barber-shop. But today, in this age of vanity, there are creams, moisturizers, mud-masks and a huge number of other options at barber-shops. I see more and more regular chaps opting for facials, waxing and threading nowadays, as if they were as conscious about the softness of their skin as a bride to be.
naai’s shop (hajjam, khalifa or the barber) was such a cool place to go to, especially on the weekends. People would sit there and chat about topics that were both stimulating and at the same time mundane.
