Gents Salon

We have been here at 4 Lakhi Narayan Road for a good while now. If you know where the Raktarabi Tarun Dal Club is, then we are basically right there. It is a busy little spot in the 700065 area of Kolkata. Most days it is just us working through the morning until late in the evening. The shop itself is not fancy or anything, just a regular place where men come to get sorted out. You might see us sitting outside on the wooden bench when things are quiet, just watching the traffic and people go by. The fan inside makes a bit of a clicking noise but it keeps the heat away well enough. Sometimes the power goes out in this part of town, then we just have to wait it out with the customers. People around here know us by name, which makes the day better. We do not have a big flashing sign, just the name Gents Salon on the front glass. It is mostly locals who stop in. We talk about the weather or the local football matches while we work. The floors get covered in hair pretty fast, so one of us is always sweeping up between jobs. It is a simple life really. We open up early, clean the big mirrors, and wait for the first person to knock. It gets very crowded on weekends. You will find us easily if you are walking down from the club side. Nothing much has changed here in years.
