The Salon By Instyle.

We are located at 210 Mahavir Cloth Market. It’s on the Kankaria Road in the Maninagar area. Being in the cloth market means it’s always busy with trucks and people carrying big bundles of fabric. The New Cloth Market is right there too. My shop is called The Salon By Instyle, but most people just call it the shop in the market. It’s on the second floor, so you have to walk up the stairs past all the textile offices. I’ve got a few chairs and some big mirrors. The lighting isn't perfect, but it does the job. I spend most of my day here. Sometimes the market gets so loud I can’t hear the TV in the corner. I mostly see workers from the market or people who live nearby in Maninagar. It’s a practical place. I don’t have fancy coffee or anything like that, just some water if someone is thirsty. The floor is usually covered in bits of hair by noon. I try to sweep it up, but it’s a losing battle until the end of the day. Ahmedabad can get really dusty, so I’m always cleaning the glass. I like being in the middle of all the trading and the noise. It feels like things are happening. I open up early and stay until the market starts to quiet down. It’s just a regular salon doing what needs to be done for the people who stop by.
