Biswajit Saloon

Biswajit Saloon is a small place on the ground floor over in Aswini Nagar. We are on Gouranga Nagar Road, not far from the Dhalai Rasta. It’s a busy little area in Jagatpur. The shop isn't very wide, so we have to be careful when moving around the chairs. I’ve been cutting hair here for a long time now. The walls are painted a light blue, but they are getting a bit dark near the corners. We have a couple of mirrors and some shelves for our creams and spray bottles. Kolkata gets very rainy, and sometimes the water splashes near the door, so we keep a mat there. Most of the people who come here live in the nearby blocks. They know me and I know how they like their hair. We talk about the local market prices or the football scores. It’s a friendly vibe. I don't use any fancy machines, just my hands and the usual tools. The shop stays open until quite late in the evening because that’s when the office people return. Sometimes I get tired, but seeing a regular customer makes it better. We don’t have a website or anything like that. People just know where we are. If you are near the rasta, just ask for the saloon. Most people can point you the way. It is just a neighborhood spot for everyone around here.
