Venkateshwara Hair Salon

Venkateshwara Hair Salon is over in Premnagar, Chintal Basti, specifically at Shop no-2. We are right beside the Manikanta rice traders and not far from the Saibaba temple. You can often smell the sacks of grain from next door when the wind blows the right way. It is a very local neighborhood vibe here in the 500004 zip code. The shop itself is quite modest. We have the basic equipment, a few mirrors, and the blue chairs that everyone recognizes. It is a bit of a tight squeeze when there are more than three people waiting, but we manage somehow. Most of our customers are people who live in the Chintal Basti area and have been coming to us for years. We don't use any fancy products, just the standard stuff you find in any neighborhood salon. The floor is old stone and shows the wear and tear of all the people walking in and out. Sometimes the power goes out for an hour or two, and we just keep working with the door wide open for light. It is a simple life of cutting hair and shaving beards. We know whose son is getting married and who is looking for a job. It is more than just a place for a haircut; it is where the neighborhood guys catch up. We stay open until fairly late most nights to catch the office workers on their way home.
