Roopkala Hair Art

We are located over in Jeevan Jyot Society, right across from Manish Hall in Naranpura. If you know Ankur Road, you probably know where we are. Roopkala Hair Art has been part of this street for years. It’s a local spot where things are kept pretty basic and practical. The shop is on the ground level so people can just pop in while they are out doing their errands. We have the usual setup with mirrors and chairs that have been around for a bit. It’s mostly just us doing haircuts and shaves for the men in the society and the surrounding blocks. The area gets really crowded during the festival seasons because Manish Hall has events going on. You can hear the music and the crowds from our doorway. We don't use any fancy marketing tricks or big signs. The name is just there on the front. Usually, we are busy chatting with the regulars about the local gossip or what’s happening in Ahmedabad. It is a bit cramped when three or four people are waiting, but nobody seems to mind much. We have a small bench for waiting and some old newspapers to read. It’s a quiet life most days, just keeping the scissors moving and making sure everyone leaves looking a bit neater than when they came in. That is how we have always done things here.
