New Shatabdi Hair Saloon

New Shatabdi Hair Saloon is over in D-Block of Shastri Nagar in Ghaziabad. We are at D-487, not far from Nehru Public School. Because we are near the school, we get a lot of kids coming in with their fathers, especially on the weekends. The shop is a typical neighborhood spot. We have a few chairs, some drawers for the combs and scissors, and the walls are covered with a few old posters. It’s not the quietest place because of the school nearby and the traffic on the street, but it feels like home to me. I’ve been cutting hair here for years. You get used to the rhythm of the neighborhood. In the mornings, it’s mostly older men who want a quick shave before starting their day. Later on, the younger guys come in asking for whatever style is popular at the moment. I do my best with whatever they ask for. The shop isn't very large, so when three or four people are waiting, it gets pretty tight inside. We have a small bench for them to sit on while they wait their turn. I try to keep the place tidy, but with hair flying around all day, there is always sweeping to do. It’s a simple life, working here in Shastri Nagar. People know my name and I know theirs, which is the best part of running a small shop like this. We just keep the scissors moving and the conversation going.
