Chennai's Indian Head Massage Master

Kerala Hair Dressers is one of the oldest barbershops in Tamil Nadu, in southern India, and has been serving customers since 1939.

Started by V Sankunni Nair, the shop has been running continuously for 82 years. It is now run by his grandson, Sandeep, who took over the barbershop in 1990 and has meticulously maintained its old-world charm.

Sandeep spends 15 minutes every morning praying before opening the shop to customers, he then oversees the running throughout the day as local customers arrive for a haircut and authentic Indian head massage.
