Hairstylist Thompsun Fernandes of the eponymous Thompsun Hair Studio at Chapel Road, Bandra West, and his two students from Manipur are offering Mount Mary Fair goers a free haircut if they want their tresses trimmed or cut.

The Mount Mary Fair begins tomorrow (Sunday). The trio - master stylist Thompsun and his student duo - will be cutting hair for pilgrims and visitors desirous of a haircut if they wish to make a stop on the way for the same.

Helping people look good

Theishingla Horam, a resident of Kharasaom in Manipur, said, "The fair will be an intense experience, as I am sure there will be many haircuts. My aim is to help people look good; it is an automatic confidence booster."

Soshang Awung Suilang, a resident of Sinakaithei in Manipur, said, "I am so happy to be a part of this entire experience. This will surely teach me to cut better, as the number of people will challenge me."

Only on Sundays

Thompsun will place his hair cutting chair outside his salon on the two Sundays of the Mt. Mary Fair: September 13 and September 20, on a first-come, first-served basis from 11.30 am to 9 pm.
