Salon King

Being on the ground floor of Np-263 along the Naya Patty Main Road means we see a lot of people passing by. It is a busy stretch in Krishnapur, especially being so close to Technopolis. The noise from the traffic is pretty constant, but you get used to it after a few weeks. Salon King has been in this spot for a bit now. We have some regulars who work in the big offices nearby and they usually drop in when they have a gap in their schedule. The shop isn't huge but we fit what we need inside. Sometimes the humidity in Kolkata makes the floor a bit slippery, so we are always mopping. We have got some old fans that hum a lot, but they keep the air moving. My cousin helps me out during the weekends when it gets crowded. We don't really have a fancy waiting area, just some plastic chairs against the wall. People mostly just look at their phones while they wait for their turn. It is a simple setup and we try to keep things moving so nobody is standing around too long. The street outside is always dusty because of the construction, but we try to keep the glass doors shut to stay clean. It is just a normal place where guys come to get sorted out before they head back to work or home.
