Abdul Hair Cut Saloon

We are located in Ma Plaza on Nutkhera Road in Alambagh. It’s a busy part of Lucknow, and Nutkhera Road is always packed with people and motorbikes. Abdul Hair Cut Saloon is tucked away in the plaza. It’s not a huge shop, just a couple of stations where we do haircuts and shaves. I’ve been cutting hair for a long time, and I don't think I’ll ever do anything else. The plaza itself is a bit old now, and the stairs can be a bit steep for some. We don't have any fancy posters or a big reception desk. You just walk in and sit down if there’s a chair free. If not, there’s a wooden bench where you can wait. We usually have the radio on, playing some old songs from the movies. Most of the men who come here are from the Alambagh area. They like things done a certain way, and we know their styles. It’s not a place where we try to do anything too modern or strange. Just a clean cut. Sometimes the tea seller from downstairs brings us a round of chai when we aren't too busy. It’s those little things that make the day go by. We aren't trying to be the most popular place in the city. We just want to do right by the people who trust us with their hair. It’s a steady business and we like it that way. Most days we are here until the plaza closes.
