Marian's L'oreal Professionnel Club Salon

You can find Marian's L'oreal Professionnel Club Salon right in the middle of the action at Halwasiya Market. We’re at 63 65, and Hazratgunj is always moving, so there’s a constant energy outside our windows. Inside, it’s a different world. It’s the smell of hair products and the sound of several blow dryers going at once. We have the big mirrors and the swivel chairs that have seen a lot of use over the years. It’s not a quiet place, especially on Saturdays when everyone wants to get cleaned up for the evening. We spend a lot of time on our feet, moving from one chair to the next with scissors or a brush in hand. There’s always a bit of hair on the floor that needs sweeping up every ten minutes. We know most of our customers by their first names because they’ve been coming to Halwasiya Market for years. We don't do any of that corporate talk here; we just talk about the weather or what’s happening in the city while we work. The tea from the market stalls is usually sitting on the counter somewhere. It’s a busy, friendly spot where people come to sit for an hour and leave looking a bit different. We’ve got a good rhythm going, and even when it’s hectic, we try to make sure nobody feels rushed. It’s just our little corner of Hazratgunj where we keep things moving for the locals.
