Bombay Hair Salons

Bombay Hair Salons has a spot right in Raipur Chakla. We are sitting opposite the Raipur Police Choky and not far from the Chakleshwer Mahadew temple. It is one of those old parts of Ahmedabad where things are always moving and there is always something to see out the window. The shop is simple. We have the same layout we’ve had for a long time now. There are the usual scissors, combs, and the constant sound of the clippers running. It gets quite busy here because of the location. People are always passing by on their way to the market or the temple. We don't spend money on big signs or anything like that. People just know where we are. We have a few chairs and they are usually occupied during the weekends when everyone has more time. We spend a lot of time just talking to the customers. You hear all kinds of stories sitting in this shop. Some people have been coming to us since they were children and now they bring their own kids for their first haircuts. It is a bit dusty sometimes because of the road, but we try to keep the place as tidy as we can. We just focus on the work in front of us. It is a small local business and we are happy with that. No big corporate rules here, just us doing our job every day for the people in Raipur Chakla.
