Basanti Art Saloon

We have been running Basanti Art Saloon at Shinthi More for a long time now. It is right on 40 B T Road in Dum Dum. The shop isn't anything fancy, just a regular place where people from around here come to get their hair done or a quick shave. My father started things off and we just kept it going. Most of our customers are locals who live nearby or work around the market. It gets a bit crowded on Sunday mornings, which is normal for this part of Kolkata. We just have a few chairs and some mirrors. It is nothing like those big malls. We know most of the people who walk through the door by their names. Sometimes they just stop by to say hello even if they don't need a haircut. The fans keep spinning all day to beat the heat. We try to keep the place tidy but it's a busy street, so some dust always comes in. It's just a small business trying to do honest work every day. You can find us easily if you are near the crossing. We open early and stay until late evening. It is just how things have always been here in Dum Dum. Nothing much has changed over the years, and we like it that way. Just a simple saloon for the neighborhood folks. We don't have any big signs or fancy lights. People just know where we are.
