Ambica Hair Saloon

The saloon is located on Ajmer Road in the Panchsheel Nagar area. It’s a decent-sized room with a row of mirrors along one side and a few chairs for waiting on the other. We get a lot of people stopping by because the road is quite a main route, so there is always someone new walking in. The morning starts with us putting out the fresh towels and making sure the spray bottles are full. We do a lot of basic haircuts and shaves, nothing too complicated. The floor is tiled, so it is easy to sweep, but by the end of the day, the hair really piles up in the corners. We have a big window at the front that lets in a lot of light, though we have to pull the curtain down when the sun gets too low in the afternoon. It gets a bit hot in the summer, even with the fans going full blast. We mostly just focus on the work at hand, making sure the lines are straight and the customer is happy with how it looks. There is no background music, just the sound of the scissors snipping and the occasional motorbike zooming past outside. We’ve got a small sink in the back where we wash the combs and a little bench outside where we sit when things are quiet. It’s a steady life here in Panchsheel Nagar, just cutting hair and keeping the shop tidy. It’s been this way since we started.
