Puja Saloon

Puja Saloon is found on Nagendra Nath Road in the Satgachi area of Dum Dum. It is a small, family-run kind of place. I have been working at this location for a long time now. The shop is situated very close to the market, so the area is always lively and full of people. We have two main chairs and a small wooden bench for people to sit on while they wait. We do basic haircuts and shaves for the men who are heading off to their offices. We do not have any fancy things like air conditioning, just one big fan on the ceiling that wobbles a little when it is on high speed. It is an older shop, but we keep everything in working order. The people living in Dum Dum know us quite well. We often hear all the local news and gossip here before anyone else does. The walls are a little bit stained from the dampness during the monsoon season, but we try to keep the place as tidy as we can. We use simple tools and do not really care for electric gadgets, preferring the manual clippers and razors. It feels more traditional that way. We open up early in the morning because the nearby market starts its day early too. If you are walking down Nagendra Nath Road, you will see our blue door. It is a modest shop.
