Ah Saloon Professional

If you’re walking near the Gurdwara in Alwar, you’ll find us on Manu Marg at Plot No 8. Ah Saloon Professional is just a local spot where people come to get their hair sorted out. It’s right there near the temple, so we hear the sounds from there all day which is actually quite nice. The shop isn't anything too crazy. We have our mirrors and the chairs that have seen a lot of use over the years. We keep the floor swept as much as we can, but on Saturdays, it’s almost impossible with all the people coming in. Alwar can get really hot in the summer, so we keep the shop as cool as we can for anyone sitting in the chair. It’s mostly just us chatting about the local news or what’s happening in the neighborhood while we work. Some people have been coming to us since they were kids. Now they bring their own kids in for their first haircuts. We don't have a website or anything like that. People just know where we are. We have some old magazines on the table for when there is a wait. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to open the doors wide to let the breeze in. It’s a simple business and we like it that way. We just keep the scissors moving until the day is done and the street goes quiet.
