India Hair Art

Our place is down in Khanpur, specifically over by Lal Darwaja. If you find the old Roopali Cinema, you are pretty much there, as we are right near it. This is a very old and busy part of Ahmedabad, so there is always a lot of traffic and people walking by. It’s a lively spot to have a hair shop. We call it India Hair Art because we like to think of hair cutting as a bit of a craft. The shop has been around this area for a bit, and we’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a lot. Being near a cinema means there's always a bit of energy in the air, especially in the evenings when the crowds come out. The shop isn't fancy or modern-looking; it's got that old-school feel that fits with Lal Darwaja. We have a few chairs and some old mirrors, and we just do our work. It gets dusty outside because of the main road, so we spend a lot of time wiping down the glass and the counters. We get all sorts of people coming in—some who have been living in Khanpur their whole lives and some who are just passing through the city. We don't have a big website or a corporate team. It's just a couple of us here every day from morning until we close up at night. It’s a busy, noisy, but good place to be.
