Central Asia’s largest cattle market is located in Pakistan, and one corner of the market is dedicated exclusively to camels. There are over 500 camels in the market at any given time, with buyers and sellers coming from all over to make a deal on the animals. In a market that saturated, you have to be able to make your product stand out. That’s why some traders are focusing on making the camels unique, and they do so with providing them with intricate haircuts. “Buyers prefer to look for the most beautiful ones,” said Naeem, a trader and owner of camels, in an interview. “We sought the services of camel barbers like Ali Hassan to give the animals a ‘makeover’ to appease buyers and onlookers.”
