Din Mohamad Salon

Din Mohamad Salon is a small spot on Triloknath Road in the Hazratganj area of Lucknow. If you are standing in front of Tej Kumar Plaza, you can pretty much see where we are. Hazratganj is a place with a lot of history, and our salon feels like a part of that old Lucknow vibe. It is not one of those modern, glass-fronted places you see in the malls. It’s a bit more traditional than that. We have the tall mirrors and the heavy barber chairs that have been part of the shop for years. The ceiling fans stay on all day to keep the air moving, especially when it gets crowded. You’ll hear the sound of scissors clipping and the radio playing some old songs in the background. It’s a place where men come to talk about the news or what’s happening in the city while they get a shave or a haircut. We don't really do anything too complicated here. It’s about the basics. The walls are painted a simple color, and there are posters of different hair styles that have been there for a decade. We open up early in the morning before the main rush of Hazratganj starts and stay open until the lights on the street come on. It’s a steady job, and we know most of the shopkeepers on Triloknath Road. Everyone just calls us by our names when they walk past.
