Janapriyo Hair Dresser Saloon

Our shop is on the ground floor on Harinath Singh Road. It’s right near Dakinpara More in Barasat. People know it as Janapriyo Hair Dresser Saloon. It has been sitting in this spot for quite some time. The building is old, and the street outside is always full of people and rickshaws. We get a lot of foot traffic because of where we are located. Inside, it’s just me and a couple of other guys working. We use the old-style chairs. They are heavy and comfortable. Most of our tools have been with us for years. You get used to the way a certain pair of scissors feels in your hand. Barasat is a busy place, and it feels like there is always noise coming from the street. We just focus on the hair. We don't have a big sign or anything. Just the name on the glass. Some days are slow, especially when it rains hard and the road gets messy. But usually, someone is sitting in the chair. We talk about local things, like the market prices or the weather. It is a local spot for the men who live around here. We don't do fancy styling or use expensive products. It is just water, soap, and a sharp blade. That is all people really need. We close up when the sun goes down and the street lights come on. The pin code here is 700124 and we’ve been part of this street for years.
