Matrix Salon

Matrix Salon is situated in Shop No 35/36 at Johnson Tower on Narmada Road. We are in the Gorakhpur area of Jabalpur, right opposite Maharishi School. Because the school is right there, the street is always full of rickshaws and parents picking up their kids in the afternoon. I started this salon because I like the work, even though it’s a lot of standing on your feet. The shop is decent-sized, and I’ve got a few different sections for different things. One side is for hair, and the other side is for general beauty stuff. The walls are a bit plain, but I’ve put up some mirrors to make it feel bigger. Johnson Tower is an older building, so sometimes we have issues with the plumbing, but we manage to get it fixed. My regulars are mostly people who live in the apartments around Gorakhpur. They come in for their monthly trim or a quick shave. I don’t use any of those very expensive branded products you see on TV, just the standard stuff that works well. Every evening, I sweep the floor and lock up the glass doors. It’s a steady job and I’m glad to be part of the local market here. It’s not about being the most stylish place, just about being a reliable spot for a haircut. I keep a calendar on the wall to track all the appointments and notes.
