Raja Art Salon

We've been at 371 A, Rabindra Sarani for a long time now. It’s a busy part of Kolkata, and our shop fits right in. There’s always noise coming from the street, but inside, it’s mostly just the sound of scissors and the radio playing in the corner. Raja Art Salon isn't fancy. We have the usual chairs and mirrors that have seen better days, but they work fine. Most people who come in live right around the corner. They stop by for a quick trim or a shave before heading to work. Sometimes the fan makes a bit of a rattling noise when it’s on high, but we’re used to it. The floor gets covered in hair pretty fast, so there’s a lot of sweeping to do throughout the day. We keep things simple here. You sit down, we do the job, and you go about your business. It gets hot in the afternoons, especially during the summer months when the sun hits the front of the shop. We keep a jug of water for anyone who needs it. There isn't much to say about us other than we’re here every day except for when we have to close for a family thing or a holiday. It’s a small place, but it’s ours. We know most of the faces that walk through the door. Rabindra Sarani is a hectic place, but this little spot is where we spend all our hours.
