Tilottoma Family Salon

Tilottoma Family Salon is tucked away on Kumud Ghoshal Road in Ariadaha. We are quite close to the 43/1 bus stand, which makes it easy for people to find us after they get off the bus from work. Since we are a family salon, we get all sorts of people coming in. Grandparents, kids who can’t sit still, and parents all use the same chairs. It can get pretty noisy when a whole family shows up at once. We have been at this address, 51/11, for some time now. The walls are painted a light color, though they could probably use a fresh coat of paint soon. We have a few stylists who have been with us for a year or two. They know the locals and what kind of styles they like. It is not a place with a fancy coffee machine or a waiting lounge. You mostly sit on the plastic chairs until it is your turn. We handle hair cutting and some basic skin stuff too. Sometimes the water pressure is a bit low in the building, so we keep some extra buckets ready just in case. It is just how things go in this part of Kolkata. We do not spend money on big ads. Most people come because their neighbor told them we do a decent job for a fair price. We just keep the door open and do the work. There are no fancy uniforms here, just people doing a job they know.
