Sri Sai Reliance Hair Saloon

Our saloon is on Vittal Wadi Road, right near the Kanaka Durga Temple here in Hyderabad. It is a good location because people often stop by for a trim after they visit the temple in the mornings. We open up quite early because that is when the first crowd of the day is out and about. The shop is a typical local hair saloon with simple blue and white tiles on the walls. We have three chairs, but usually only two of us are working at the same time. The sound of the temple bells is something we hear all through the day while we work. We do a lot of shaves and head massages for the local men who live nearby. It is a simple place without any fancy decorations or expensive furniture. We have one big mirror that covers a whole wall, which makes the small room feel a bit bigger than it really is. The Narayanguda area is always bustling with activity, so there is never a dull moment. We keep a stack of yesterday's newspapers for people to read while they wait for their turn in the chair. The floor gets covered in hair pretty fast, so we keep a broom handy to sweep up every few minutes. We have been at this spot, 3-5-637, for a long time now and know the area well. Most of our customers are people who live in the nearby apartments.
