Paris Mens Saloon

Paris Mens Saloon is located in Gole Market, Nishatganj, which is a very lively part of Lucknow. One thing you will notice right away is that we are very near the railway crossing. You can hear the trains passing by all day and night, and the whistle becomes a part of the background after a while. The shop isn't as fancy as the name might suggest, we just liked the sound of it when we started. Inside, we have the standard setup for a men's saloon. There are a few mirrors that have some spots on them and some old-style heavy chairs. We get a lot of people who work in the market or live in the nearby colonies. In the mornings, it is usually quiet, but by evening, the place is full of men talking about politics or the local news while waiting for a shave. We don't have any air conditioning, just a big ceiling fan that wobbles a bit when it's on high speed. The walls have some old calendars and a few photos of different hair styles that are quite old now. We've been in Nishatganj for quite some time now, so we have seen the area change a lot. But the shop stays pretty much the same. We use the same kind of combs and scissors we have used for years. It is a steady business and we like the people who come in. It is just a plain, honest shop.
