Samir Unsex Saloon

This shop is right on the By Pass Road in Faridabad, near Sector 31. It is a busy spot because of all the cars and trucks heading out of the city. We call it a unisex saloon, though the sign says unsex, which is just how it got painted back then. We handle both men and women here. The shop is at Shop 1, so we are right at the front. It is a bit of a plain room with white walls and a few stations for cutting hair. We have a big glass window at the front that lets in a lot of light, but it also shows all the dust from the road. We are always cleaning the floor because of the hair and the dirt that blows in. It is a hardworking area, and we get people coming in at all hours. Some stop by on their way home from the offices in Sector 31. We have a small sink for washing hair and a couple of revolving chairs. The water heater takes a bit of time to warm up in the winter. It is not a place for luxury, just a place to get your hair cut or styled so you look decent for your daily life. We talk to the customers about the weather or the traffic on the bypass. It is just a simple way to make a living in Faridabad, serving the people who pass by our door.
