Payal Hair Art

We have been around Naranpura for a good while now, right by the Shastri Nagar Ground. The shop is just a regular place where people from the neighborhood come to get their hair sorted out. Usually, mornings are quiet, but it gets a bit noisy when the kids are playing outside on the ground. We have a few chairs that have seen better days, but they are comfortable enough for a quick sit. The mirrors are always being wiped down because of the dust coming in from the road. It’s a simple setup really, nothing special. No fancy lights or music that’s too loud to talk over. Most people just walk in, sit down, and wait their turn while looking at their phones or talking about what happened in the local news. We keep the floor swept, though hair has a way of hiding in the corners no matter how much you clean. Naranpura is a busy part of Ahmedabad, and being here at Payal Hair Art feels like being part of a big family sometimes. You see the same faces every few weeks. Some guys want the same cut they’ve had for twenty years, and some kids want something they saw on the internet. We just do what is asked of us. The address is 380013, if you are looking for the exact spot. It’s not a big place, just enough room to move around without bumping into each other too much. We open up early and stay until the last person is done.
