Payal Hair Salon

The shop is right here on the Main Road in Khajuri Kalan. If you know Nirmal Market, you probably have walked past Shop -1 many times. I started Payal Hair Salon quite a while ago because I just liked cutting hair and talking to people in Bhopal. It isn't a fancy place with big lights or anything like that. We just have the basic chairs and mirrors that get the job done. Most days, it gets pretty busy when people are coming home from work. I see the same faces every month. Sometimes kids come in and they're scared of the scissors, so we have to go slow with them. It’s just how things are here. The shop stays open pretty late most nights because that's when people have time. My friends often drop by just to sit and chat while I work. We keep the floor swept as much as we can, but hair gets everywhere when it's a full house. It’s a simple life running a business in this part of town. I don't really have a big staff, just me and someone to help out when things get too crowded. We don’t do anything too crazy, just standard cuts and shaves. If you're looking for a place where you can just sit down and get your hair trimmed without a fuss, that's what we do. It's just a regular neighborhood spot where everyone knows each other’s names.
