Morning Star Bombay Saloon

In Nanjappa Layout, things are a bit quieter than the main roads. We are located at No.6/17 on the 1st main road in Adugodi. If you look across the street, you see the Global Gym. Sometimes the guys from the gym come over after their workout. The name Morning Star has been around for a while. It’s a Bombay style saloon, which just means how we learned to handle the blades and scissors. The shop has a big window that lets in the afternoon sun. We have a few old posters on the wall that have been there for years. The floor is easy to clean, which is good because there is always hair everywhere. We keep the combs in blue liquid to keep them clean. It’s a small team here, just a couple of us working the chairs. We know the names of most people who walk in. The traffic on the road can get bad in the evenings, so we hear a lot of honking. We just keep our heads down and work. It’s not a place where you get fancy drinks or anything. Just a seat, a haircut, and maybe a little bit of talk about the weather or the local news. We open early and stay until the lights on the street come on. It’s just how life goes here in Adugodi. The shop feels like home because we spend so much time between these four walls.
