New Hair Cutting Saloon

The name is New Hair Cutting Saloon but to be honest we’ve been here on B T Road near the ISI area for quite a long time. Everything around here in Kolkata moves so fast with the buses and the traffic outside, but inside the shop, things are a bit slower. We open up early because workers like to get their hair sorted before their shifts start. It’s a small place, nothing fancy. We have the usual stuff you’d expect. Sometimes the radio is on playing some old songs, other times it’s just the sound of the scissors. Being near B T Road means there is always dust coming in, so we are always dusting off the counters. It’s just how it is. My cousins help out when it gets busy on Sundays. That’s usually our craziest day. Everyone wants to look sharp for the start of the week. We don't have a big sign or anything, just the address at Isi, Kolkata - 700108. People know where we are. It’s a simple life running a shop like this. You meet all sorts of people, from students at the institute to the old uncles who live in the back lanes. We just keep our heads down and do the work. It’s not a big corporate chain, just us here doing what we know how to do. So yeah, that is pretty much it.
