Kanpur Hair Saloon

Kanpur Hair Saloon is located at Shop No.-2 in Subhash Market. This is in the Govindpura area of Bhopal, near the Security Line. It’s a busy little market. Our shop is quite small, but we have enough space for two customers at a time. I moved here a long time ago and set this up. The name comes from my hometown. We do standard haircuts and shaves. No fancy creams or expensive perfumes here. Just the local stuff. The mirror has a small crack in the corner, but it doesn’t get in the way. We have a small TV that usually plays the news. A lot of the factory workers from Govindpura come here after their shifts. They are tired and just want a quick shave before going home. We try to work fast so they don’t have to wait too long. The chairs are old and the leather is peeling in some spots, but they are comfortable enough. We use a lot of talcum powder after a shave, it’s the old way. The shop gets quite hot in the summer, but the fan helps a bit. It’s a humble place. We don't have a big staff, just me and my brother. We’ve been here so long that we know everyone’s stories. It’s just a part of the daily life in Subhash Market. We keep some combs in a jar of blue water. The door stays open most of the day.
