My hairdresser — Centrito 289/365


Don Enrique established his shop in 1962 in Río Mississippi. My dad went there as a kid to have his hair done by him. A bit later he relocated to La Cuchilla in Río Orinoco, where he has been since then. He still uses the same sturdy chairs from the beginning—on this one he cut my hair when I turned 7. The interior design of the shop is now very white. In the old times it was blue, on a corner there was a TV with non stop telenovelas, a table with a generous offer of soft porn magazines, a red couch with synthetic leather and always a busty girl with many curves who took care of the cashier. This was the place where you would go if you were proud of your testosterone instead of the sissy Peluquería Americana on the opposite side of the street, which rather tried to be fresa.
