Missionary Hair Cut


Do women go to barber shops in India? We don't know know but the man invited me in because there was air conditioning and it was getting hot. So much for balmy breezes of yesterday. So I was photog for this moment. You may not know the exchange rate but the 50.00 rupees you see on the sign figures out to be "shave and a hair cut, two bits." If you are old enough you will remember this little jingle came at the end of a song and dance. Oh, and when it is all over the hair gets brushed off with a twirling towel and you sit back down for a marvelous head massage.

I am sure your first haircut there will be an adventure, although the barber shop looks pretty mellow. Hope you brought your haircare needs with you...

Just hope you have hair left by the time you return :)
