Anoop Hair Cutting Saloon

Anoop Hair Cutting Saloon is located at 147, Shop No.9, Chandanwadi, in the Kalbadevi area of Mumbai. The pin code is 400002. Being in Kalbadevi means it is always very crowded and noisy outside. We are near Marine Lines East, so many office people stop by. The shop is very small, which is normal for Mumbai. We have three chairs packed in there. The walls have some old pictures of different hair styles, but mostly people just want a regular trim. We have been here for a long time, and the shop has stayed the same for the most part. The floor is made of old stone tiles that have seen many years of work. We use a lot of spray bottles and combs that we keep in a glass jar. There is no fancy music, just the sound of the street and the ceiling fan. We drink tea from the stall next door twice a day. It’s a place where men come to get a quick shave or a haircut and talk about the news. We don’t have a computer or anything to take appointments. You just show up and wait your turn. It’s an honest way to make a living in a big city like Mumbai. We work long hours, from morning until late at night, because that’s when the customers are around.
