Palji Hair Cutting Saloon

Started at Beraberi More years ago. It’s right here in Rajarhat Gopalpur. Most days, I open up early, around eight, and sweep the front step. The address is Beraberi More, Rajarhat Gopalpur, Kolkata - 700136. It’s a small shop, just enough for a couple of chairs and some mirrors that have seen better days. People stop in for a quick trim or a shave before they head to work. I don't do appointments much because the phone is always acting up or I'm too busy with a customer to answer it anyway. You just walk in and wait your turn on the wooden bench. Sometimes the wait is long, especially on Sunday mornings when everyone wants to look decent for the week. We talk about the local news or how the road outside is always under repair. It gets dusty being so close to the more, but that is just how things are in this part of Kolkata. I’ve got my old scissors and a couple of clippers that I keep oiled up. The fan above rotates slowly, making a clicking sound that you get used to after ten minutes. It isn't a fancy place with bright lights or music playing loud. It’s just Palji Hair Cutting Saloon. If you need a haircut and you are around Beraberi More, you will find us easily enough right there near the junction. We do our work and that is about it.
