Handsome Salon

You will find us at Shop No-2 in the Ashoka Garden area of Bhopal. It is a pretty straightforward place to find if you are around this part of town. The shop is small, just one of those little units in a row of other businesses like the grocery and the mobile repair shop. We have two chairs and a small bench for people to wait their turn. Ashoka Garden is a big residential spot, so we see a lot of families and young guys who live nearby. Most days, it is just the sound of the scissors and the fan humming overhead to keep the air moving. We don't use any of those fancy soaps or expensive sprays, just the standard stuff you get at the local market. Sometimes the water heater takes a while to start up in the winter, but we manage just fine. The mirrors are a bit spotted and the floor has some cracks, but it doesn’t bother anyone who comes here. We aren't trying to be anything other than a local hair shop for the neighborhood. People come in, tell us what they want, and we do our best with what we have. On rainy days, the shop smells a bit like damp earth because we are so close to the street level. It is just a basic place to get your hair cut without any fuss or expensive prices. We like it this way and our regulars seem to like it too.
