Cycle training classes held for New Town residents In order to build a basic framework and foster a bicycle culture, the New Town Kolkata Development Authority (NKDA) issued an advisory encouraging all complexes with a plot size of 6 cottahs or more to convert the equivalent of the space required for parking three cars into free bicycle-parking zones, adjacent to each other, demarcated, with proper signage, and located near the main entrance. The NKDA authorities said they not only wanted to create the basic framework for bicycle use, but also actively promote the healthy and green mode of transport. The figures - excluding personal bicycle-use by residents - offer a quantification of how much efforts like these go to curb pollution and climate change. Since September 2020, the app-based system - with 400 pedal- and 100 electric-powered bicycles - has facilitated more than 2,00,000 rides, which not only solved the problem of last-mile connectivity, but also contributed in a large way towards reducing the carbon footprint, offsetting 5,354kg of carbon or carbon dioxide emissions, said a senior NKDA official. “These are used to achieve the ‘wet’ look using oil-based pomade can make your hair look really shiny.KOLKATA: A whopping 1,36,000kg of carbon dioxide was prevented from being released into the ambient air since 2020, when an app-based public bicycle-sharing system was introduced in New Town, allowing more than 51,000 bicyclists to collectively cover a distance of 5,64,080km in the satellite township, according to a study conducted by the New Town Kolkata Development Authority (NKDA). Meanwhile, oil-based pomade, gel, and styling lotion are cream-based, which work well for already thick hair. “If a guy’s hair looks dry, it looks more voluminous,” says Hernandez. They suit fine-textured hairs, which need enhanced volume. Wax, clay, and matte finish pomade are volumizers. The higher the pompadour, the closer to heaven.Īs for grooming products, what barbers use are classified into two: volumizers and cream-based products. The fade also remains a hit, which Corella says “has long been done, but it hasn’t been tagged as such.” Classic cuts like the pompadour, a style sported by John Travolta in Grease, are also trendy.
“This is why Filipino barbers are considered the best.” Master barber Vic Hernandez at the Folk 1006 soft opening.Īccording to Corella and the Folk 1006 barbers, the most popular hairstyle among guys currently is the clean cut, wherein the sides and the back are cut shorter. This, in return, cultivates the talent of local barbers. In an exclusive interview with Garage, Hernandez says that Filipino guys are meticulous and vain when it comes to their grooming habits, particularly with hair. He was then invited to perform at a trade test in Singapore, and what was initially meant to be a three-day stint turned into three weeks. Soon after, the rest was history. Hernandez got started on his trade at 12, and when he was 24, a friend who was the development manager from Truefitt & Hill “discovered” him. I want my shop to be a part of the movement to make it strong.”Īt the shop’s soft opening last Saturday, Vic Hernandez, master barber at Truefitt & Hill in Singapore, the oldest barbershop in the world, flew in to share tips to Folk 1006’s barbers. The movement has been there, but it’s not really felt. In Makati, Parañaque, and Cubao, there’s something happening here, wala. “I’m from Tondo, and Manila is close to my heart. Despite its size, the shop’s hiddenness and simplicity make up for its character and quaint charm.Ĭorella, the head owner and a self-proclaimed grooming fan, notes that the shop serves as his and his friends’ contribution to Escolta’s revival. The light directly filters through the glass doors, illuminating the small space it occupies. In short, it refers to the “people of Escolta.” Folk 1006 is now open at the First United Building in Escolta.įolk 1006 is straightforward in its appearance.

The group named their barbershop Folk 1006, derived from “folk,” which means common people, and “1006,” the area code of the Binondo district where Escolta is located.
This commonsensible idea was what compelled Brian Corella, Paul Aniceto, Icko Lacandazo, Kevin Gabon, and John Paul Vejano to put up a barbershop bent on delivering good pampering experience in Escolta-an area that used to be known more for its history rather than modern-day comforts and services. A gentleman should be able to get a great haircut and impeccable grooming services anywhere in the city.
