Shyam Family Salon

Maninagar is a crowded place, especially around the Hirabhai Tower area. Our salon is tucked away near Sharda Raw House, which is quite close to the Prasang Party Plot. If there’s a wedding or a party going on over there, we usually get pretty busy with people wanting to look decent for the event. We call it a family salon because that is who comes in. We get the grandfathers, the fathers, and the kids all at once sometimes. It gets loud and a bit chaotic, but we like it that way. Uttam Nagar is a good neighborhood to be in. People around here are friendly and they don’t expect anything too over the top. We have the basic equipment and we keep everything running as best as we can. Sometimes the water pressure is a bit low in the mornings, so we have to manage with that. It’s a practical place. We don’t spend much time on decorations or fancy stuff. The chairs are comfortable enough for a quick sit. My brother helps out sometimes when things get really hectic. We just open up in the morning, sweep the front, and wait for the first person to walk in. It’s been our routine for years now and we don’t plan on changing much. We just keep our heads down and work through the list of people waiting. It is a steady way to live.
