Nagendar Thakur Saloon Dokan

Nagendar Thakur Saloon Dokan is right on Ultadanga Main Road. It is a noisy part of Kolkata but we like being in the middle of everything. If you know the 700067 area, you know how busy the traffic gets out there. We opened this shop to serve the local workers and the people living in the nearby blocks. It is just a regular saloon dokan, nothing more. We do shaves, hair cutting, and sometimes a head massage if someone looks tired. The mirrors are old and have some spots on them, but they show you what you need to see. We don't use those expensive products you see on TV. We just use the standard stuff that works. Most of our customers have been coming here for years. They sit on the wooden bench and talk about the news or the weather while they wait. I started working here a long time ago and I just kept at it. There is a lot of dust from the main road, so we have to wipe the glass every morning. It's a small business, mostly just one or two of us working at a time. We don't take lunch breaks at set times, we just eat when the shop is empty. If you need a quick trim and you are in Ultadanga, you can find us. We don't do anything complicated, just the basics that people need. It’s hard work but we enjoy talking to the customers.
