Takdeer Hair Saloon

Takdeer Hair Saloon is out on Diggi Road in Sanganer. We are very close to the Idgah Masjid, so we hear the calls for prayer throughout the day. It gives a nice rhythm to the work. The shop is a simple room with the equipment we’ve had for years. Sanganer is a part of Jaipur that feels a bit different, a bit more traditional maybe. Our customers are mostly local workers and families who have been in this area for a long time. The road outside is always moving with rickshaws and motorbikes. We have a few chairs and the mirrors are lined up along one wall. There is a small television in the corner but we don't turn it on much. Usually, it’s better to just talk to whoever is in the chair. We deal with a lot of thick hair and dusty skin from the road. The water we use for washing is kept in a large tank. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to use the sunlight from the street to finish a cut. It is just part of living and working here. We don't have a lot of bells and whistles. We just offer a place for people to get their hair sorted out before they go about their day. It’s a steady life on Diggi Road and we see a lot of people passing through.
