Ashoka Hair Dresser

You can find us at Shop No-B1 on the Main Surajpol Road. We are quite close to the Surajpol Gate, which is a busy part of the Galta area. The shop is small and tucked away, but people know where we are. We've been cutting hair here for many years now. It’s the kind of place where the neighbor's kids come for their first haircut and then keep coming back when they are grown up. We don't have air conditioning, just a big ceiling fan that wobbles a bit. The walls have some old posters on them, and we keep the spray bottles lined up on the shelf. Working near the gate means there are always rickshaws and bikes passing by. It gets dusty, so we are always wiping down the chairs. We do basic haircuts and shaves. No fancy creams or expensive treatments here. Just a simple comb and scissor job. Sometimes the power goes out, and we just open the door wider to let the light in and keep working. People in this part of Jaipur are practical. They want a clean cut and a fair price. We try to give them that every time they sit down. It’s a quiet life, even with all the noise outside. We open at nine and stay until the last customer is done in the evening. That’s our routine.
