Dutta Saloon

Dutta Saloon is located in Motilal Colony, right off the main Jessore Road in Kolkata. It is a small shop that has been serving the people around here for a long time. I am a local guy myself, so I know the area and the people pretty well. The shop isn't much to look at from the outside, just a door and a window, but inside we have everything needed for a good haircut. We get a lot of people from the colony coming in, especially on their days off. It’s a simple routine every day, starting with the first customer and going until we close up at night. The chairs are old but comfortable enough for the fifteen or twenty minutes someone spends in them. We don't do anything fancy, just standard cuts and shaves for the men around here. Jessore Road is always humming with noise, but inside the shop, it’s mostly just the sound of the scissors and the radio playing some music or the news. Sometimes the shop gets a bit hot in the summer, but the fans do their job. We try to keep the place clean, but with hair everywhere, it is a constant job. I like being my own boss and seeing the same faces year after year. It feels like we are part of the furniture in Motilal Colony now. We are just a basic saloon for people who want a simple service.
