Upkar Hair Art

Our shop is over in Shahpur, specifically Shop No 3. We are right opposite the Madyamik School, so we hear the school bell ring several times a day and see the kids heading home in their uniforms. We are also near Ambaliwari Pole, which is a well-known spot in this part of Ahmedabad. It is a small shop, but it is ours. We have a few chairs for hair cutting and a bench for people to wait on while we finish up. We don't have a lot of extra space. Usually, it is just a couple of us working at the same time. We get a lot of locals from the pole and parents who stop by after dropping their kids at the school. It’s a very local vibe. We don't do anything too complicated, just standard hair cuts and shaves. The walls have a few old pictures on them and we keep the floor swept as much as we can during the day. Sometimes the water pressure in this part of town is a bit low, but we manage. We’ve been in Shahpur for quite a while now and we like the people here. It is a tight-knit area where everyone knows each other. We don't really do any marketing; we just rely on people seeing the shop when they walk by. It’s a simple business, and we are fine with that. We just focus on doing a decent job for whoever sits in our chair.
