Rahul Saloon & Parlour

You can find us at Shop -6, right by the C-21 Mall on Hoshangabad Road in Bhopal. There’s a Shiv Mandir close by, so we get a mix of people coming from the temple and folks heading into the mall. Being near Misrod, this area has grown a lot lately. Our shop is a bit of a mix, too. We call it Rahul Saloon & Parlour because we handle both men and women. It’s a practical place. We didn't spend a fortune on the decor; we mostly focused on getting good chairs and decent lighting. The street outside is always noisy with traffic, but once you’re inside, it’s a bit calmer. We have a few staff members who have been with us for a while. We do everything from basic haircuts to some skin stuff if people ask for it. It’s not like those high-end salons where they give you a menu of things you don’t understand. We just listen to what someone wants and get to it. Sometimes we’re so busy we barely have time to eat lunch, especially on Sundays. Other times, it’s quiet, and we just sit and watch the cars go by on Hoshangabad Road. We’ve had all sorts of customers, from college kids to older people who have lived in Bhopal their whole lives. We just try to keep the place clean and the scissors moving. It’s a regular shop for regular people.
