Jawed Habib Hair Xpresso

We are located at 266 B T Road. If you know where the Baranagar Police Station is, we are right across from it. It's a very busy part of the city. Being on B T Road means there is always dust and noise from the big buses going by all day. We try to keep the glass clean but it’s a losing battle with the traffic outside. Inside, it’s a bit more modern than some other places in Baranagar, but we’re still just regular people working here. We use the Xpresso name but the daily grind is the same for us. We drink a lot of tea to stay awake during the long shifts. Sometimes the rain leaks a little near the back door when the monsoon is heavy. We just put a bucket there and keep going with our work. Customers come in looking for a quick change or just a trim. We do what we can with the tools we have. It’s not a quiet life. You hear the sirens from the police station sometimes at night. The 700036 area has changed a lot since we started. More cars and more people everywhere. We just stay behind the chairs. We don’t have any fancy speeches for people. Just scissors, combs, and the sound of the hair dryers running. It’s a job like any other, really. We open early and close when the last person is finally done. That’s how it goes here in the city.
