Poonam Hair Art

Being right opposite the Kalupur Railway Station means we see thousands of people every single day. The noise of the trains and the whistles is just the background of our lives here at Poonam Hair Art. We get people who are just getting off a long journey and want to look a bit more presentable before they head home or to a meeting. It’s a fast-paced spot in this part of Ahmedabad. The shop itself is simple and a bit small, but we make it work with what we have. We have to keep things very organized because there isn’t a lot of extra room. The dust from the station area is a constant battle, so we are always dusting the shelves and cleaning the mirrors. We don’t really have time for long breaks because you never know when a group of people might walk in at once. It’s a very honest kind of work. We see people from all over the country coming through that station. Sometimes we hear their stories and sometimes we just work in silence while they rest. By the time the sun goes down, the station lights come on and we start thinking about finishing up. It’s a tiring job but being in such a central location makes the day go by very fast. We’ve been here at Kalupur for a long time and the station is like a neighbor we know well.
