Hi all, I' m karthik & basically i hv made my mind to get headshave at tirupati. planned to go there Aug 4th. anybody assist me what is the procedure & do i need to go perticular barber? also i' m very keen aboud their shaving method. can sombody share experience. usually i seen some videos the barber do shaving very fast, is it paining & can we tell them to do carefully? explain in detail. Do the headshave is done using the new raser? & is it safe or we need to get one from our side? after the shave anything applied to tonsured head to make cool? is there bath facility neaby the tonsure hall? Is the headshave for men & women is in same hall or it is seperate? sumanth replied. i am new to this site. by the time i see your message i think you are bald. i am in plan of going tirumala and doing tonsure. i am 21 years male. can you tell me the procedure what to do for that before going to tirumala and after going ? i am getting fear of doing tonsure bcoz my frnds may tease me. but i hav to do that next time i visit bcoz i hav a vow of getting tonsured if i get placed in any company. now i m placed and also received offer letter.so, please encourage me in doing tonsure and get me out of fear. please send me ur tonsure videos and b4 and after headshave photos to me so that i wil get a little courage.
