Husain Hair Care

Our shop is number 16 in the Jagat Pura area. Jaipur is a big city, but this corner feels a bit more like a community to us. We open up early most days. The sun hits the front of the shop and it's time to start. There isn't much to say about us other than we work with hair every single day. People walk in, sit down, and we get to it. Sometimes we talk about the weather or how busy the roads are getting lately in 302017. Jagat Pura has grown a lot, and we see new faces all the time now. The scissors stay busy and the floor gets covered in hair pretty fast, so we’re always sweeping up. We have a few chairs and some mirrors that have seen better days, but they do the job just fine. It’s just Husain Hair Care, nothing more than that. No big signs or flashing lights, just a place to get your hair looked at. We drink a lot of chai during the afternoons when it gets hot outside and wait for the evening rush. Most of the people who come here are regulars who live just a few streets away. They know where we are and we know how they like their hair done. It’s a steady rhythm of snipping and chatting. We don’t rush things too much because people like to take a break while they’re here in the chair. It is just how we do things.
