New Dogra Hair Style & Beauty Salon

If you are in Amritsar and find yourself near Shakti Nagar, you might see our sign. We are located at Chowk Shakti Nagar, right opposite the OBC Bank ATM. The salon is called New Dogra Hair Style & Beauty Salon. It’s a name that has been around for a bit in this area. The shop is usually full of the sound of scissors clipping and the hum of the ceiling fans. We have those old-school heavy barber chairs that are actually quite comfortable once you sit back and relax. The mirrors are large and reflect the busy street outside. You see people waiting for the ATM and sometimes they just decide to come in for a shave or a haircut while they wait for the line to get shorter. We don't have a fancy waiting room, just a wooden bench along the wall. There is always a newspaper laying around, usually Amritsar’s local edition, for people to read. We talk about everything here—cricket, the weather, or the price of groceries. It’s a place for the men and boys of the neighborhood to get cleaned up. We use traditional razors and bowls for the shaving cream. The smell of aftershave is pretty strong throughout the day. We aren't trying to be a high-end spa; we are just a local shop where you can get a decent haircut for a fair price.
